PC BanG leaked that the Beta of SC2 will restart the 27 of June exclusively on their Cyber cafés while it will restart for everyone else on the 1st of July. The news comes from PC BanG employees.
It doesn't seem weird since PC BanG are one of the partners Blizzard announced during their press conference of the 24th of June.
Team aAa confirmation on this thread (page 6):

lol.
So with 10 new and conflicting rumors coming out a day, how can we be sure this one is real? Wasn't there the Korean news conference that said June 28?

It would only apply to Korea, the article states that the company "PCBang" is Korean.
Also with my weak French I think the first sentence says Blizz announced this on their official forums, anyone willing to dig up the post? I read it slightly wrong.
PC Bang is a chain of cyber cafés that is the place where all people who play starcraft regroup and stuff, it's a well known cyber café chain in korea and it's blizzard partner.
Translation of the first paragraph: ''Not long ago, blizzard announced on their forums that the beta will restart early july without giving a precise date or any details concerning the beta reopening. Today, we got the information that the beta will restart the 1st of july for us and the 27 of june for our korean friends exclusively in the PC bang cyber cafés chain.''
So no they didn't say that blizzard announced this on their forums
Google translate actually works on that page pretty well.
Some time ago, Blizzard announced on its official forums that the beta would resume in early July without giving any further detail on the alleged date. Today we learned that the beta would resume July 1 for us and the June 27 exclusively for our Korean friends in their cafes appointed PCBANG.
