I like Rain. I think he's very hot, lolz. He's totally better looking in Full House. I think that's my favorite drama with him in it <3

[Guest nchristi]

Aigoo! Can hardly wait till we get more great pix of fabulous Bi! I love his personality... sooo sweet. Cute grin, too. :rolleyes:

[~*kYo*~]

Pictures from Bi's new series with Shin Min Ah

[j.lee]

Can't believe we lost more then 2,000 pages on Bi. Let's start again guys.

Hi lovek.

I wonder what happened.O_o.....

BI thread fighting!!!! fighting!!!! poor soompi...so are we making this the official Bi thread?

==================

wendy, here's the translation of the clip the other day.

[Engl.trans]2005.10.03.kbs Yeoyumanman: Star Magazine

[RAIN is back for 'This Damned Love']

Reporter: Hello, how are you?

RAIN: Hi! How are you? This is Jeong, JiHun.

Reporter: You are much more handsome in person.

RAIN: Ah, Thank you!

Reporter: I believe many have told you so?

RAIN: Yes. I hear that... not often.

Reporter: Do you know why I dressed like this today?

RAIN: Why…wear…like…this…

Reporter: In our last news report I saw you fighting against 13 thugs. You were attacked so terribly. [image of RAIN fight against the thugs]. So, I dressed up like this to protect you from those thugs. Do you feel safe now?

RAIN: Now…I…feel…quite safe…yeah… (Laughs)

Q: Your feelings about being an action hero for the first time?

RAIN: It’s difficult, and I get hurt a lot. But, I think this will be a very new thing to the viewers, and also be an entertaining drama. Ah! And I will try hard to make this drama for you to have happy time in this winter.

[images of action; SangDoo; Full House; Concert]

Q: How would you describe Kang, BokGu the character you play?

RAIN: This time..Um. It is a street fighter, so to speak. He is kind of a born-fighter whose father was a mobster. But the character is not a properly trained fighter. He just fights with what he is good at. Anyways, the drama will be very interesting. Naturally, I am not doing if it is not interesting…(Laughs)

[images from when he was a member of the pop group FanClub; Sangdoo, Let’s go to school; Full House]

[in 2005 he is back with a total new look!]

Reporter: I can see your perfect preparation of being a street fighter, with the band-aid on your face, bandage around your hand.

RAIN: This is for the scene where I had some incident and hurt my hand, so I had to wrap the hand with the bandage. But, I must do it rough, not properly.

Q: Your comparison of Sangdoo, Youngjae and Kang, Bokgu?

RAIN: Well, Youngjae in full House was…really introverted, very cute and very sweet. But this Kang, Bokgu is very tough, manish, dedicated lover, and protects his lover with everything he has. A real melodrama hero will he be.

Reporter: I envy her…

RAIN: Well, you don’t need to…

[images of RAIN trying to shed tears; Sangdoo; Full House; 2004 KBS Best Singer Award; 2002 November video clip]

Q: How did you manage to show tears for the scenes?

RAIN: Every emotional scene has to be truthful, I think. Even during the acting, I have to know how I should respond to the situation. When I let my body and mind go with the flow, it gets easier to concentrate on the emotional scenes. To be truthful is the best way, I think.

Reporter: What was the today’s filming about?

RAIN: Yes…today’s is a hospital scene. My brother becomes a vegetable. So, we filmed that, and I must go to the set to film other scenes.

Reporter: You look thinner due to the busy schedule.

RAIN: (makes a funny face to show his becoming thinner) (laughs)

[Assistant director/camera director is making jokes all the time, so that RAIN laughs and finds it hard to concentrate on his act]

RAIN: (to the viewers) Yes, Ah, the viewers of Yeoyumanman, Ah, especially those mother-fans who are watching this, please show your power. It will be on October 31st, 9:50 in the evening. Please watch ‘This Damned Love’ (*The love he doesn’t deserve?? Still not sure…), and I hope you’ll enjoy it. You might want to reminisce about the love you felt in your twenties.

Thank you!
