Jung Ji Hoon * 정지훈 * 鄭智薰 * (aka Rain/Bi / 비 / ピ) I [Upcoming Drama 2024] Red Swan

[willenette]

Ok, thank you dear! Now I know the rules!

So around 2 weeks more to wait. I am very curious what kind of look Rain will have and if his hair will be even shorter (I know willenette dear, you won't like that ).

Ok, so both of you don't like the cover picture? I guess I am in the minority once again because I love it exactly for the reaason that he looks mature and shows his age after all.

And the other pictures are wonderful! Was for sure shot in Europe. Can't wait to see more and some HQ.

I am not curious about chemistry between Rain and SSK, I just hope she can act decently and will do justice to our talented man Rain. And I say it again, for me she is "ridiculously" normal and not beautiful. Except for a very nice body, I at the moment see nothing special in her or anything where I can go and say: Oh wow, she has something that others don't have! Again, I hope that once the movie is out I will eat my words and all of you will say: bbly, see you were so wrong!

So he started his training already. I know I said I am against war movies (especially if those are remakes) but maybe I will change my mind once I see Rain in his uniform, with his hair short and black.

bbly, wahhh.......about the hair in this movie, I'm sure this won't be very far from his current look but colour black for sure. Sigh........I just hope he & his hairstylist at least put a little "bangs" ...About the Esquire mag cover, hahaha - what can we do with anjjo, you like it. We respect it, dear! Some more photos on the spread are plainly- likeable....

I think his hair might be even shorter, so you better get prepared to it.

About the bangs, I am not sure. But for sure his hairstylists will do their best as usual.

Yes, I really like the cover picture, it looks so manly and for goodness sake so sexy although he is fully dressed. I think with Rain everything in the attitude and his aura/charisma.

[anjjo]

Thank you so much dear anjjo (and thank you for not misunderstanding my post ). So I will add another "To-Watch and read" thread to my soompi list.

My dear bbly, how could I misunderstand your post, we've been online friends here for quite sometime and by now I am aware of your "style" heheh you know its hard to find someone like you who apologized first before posting your opinion on some issues, afraid to hurt the feelings of others, and for that I salute you!

Yes, you're right , the photoshoot of Esquire was done in Europe (Paris).

willenette, my comment is exclusive only on the cover pic, but on the rest of the photos inside the mag, he is very adorable.

[Feb-18-2011] Rain projects a sexy hunk image in the March issue of 'Esquire' magazine.

Singer Rain (his real name, 'Jung Ji Hoon') is the talk of the town since he looks like a fugitive being portrayed as terribly lovable in the pictorial of 'Cartier' watch ads in the March edition of 'Esquire' which is a fashion magazine.

According to officials, " 'Jung Ji Hoon' who is about to film a new movie called 'Red Muffler' with actress 'Shin Se Kyung', has confirmed the image of a strong man in himself, knocking the spots off 'Jason Bourne' who is the hero of movie "The Bourne Identity" when it comes to 'sex appeal' and 'unpolished beauty', and at the same time he commands attention with his intense charisma which dominates the assembly, having become the first Korean to make the cover of 'Esquire' magazine twice since in November 2008."

Adding, "Even though he was being photographed in such terrible working conditions in Paris where he had to start shooting from five a.m. while there were ten degrees of frost, he was always considerate of all the staffs, creating a friendly atmosphere. If there is a true world star, 'Jung Ji Hoon' is the one.

He is a veritable professionalist who can create a series of images that express an individual style when he is dressed up in either a suit of restrained ambience or comfortable casual clothes, leading the pictorial concept himself."

Meanwhile, 'Jung Ji Hoon's sexy hunk features will be shown in the March issue of 'Esquire' which is men's magazine.

More on Being A Man: Rain covers and is featured by Esquire Vol. 186, coming in March.

Stephe @cloudusa.wordpress.com

[*ETA: It is being reported that Rain is the only Korean to be on the cover of Esquire twice. We wouldn't be surprised at that... the man already has an impressive list of "firsts" under his belt in various parts of the world and is primed to add quite a few more. Halleluia. ^@@^]

[Cloud USA — 2/18/2011] As you know by now, Rain has added yet another cover to his already rather “cover-full” career.

Not only will he be gracing the front of the upcoming March 2011 issue of Esquire Magazine (Vol. 186, Korea), he will also be their feature story concerning who Jung JiHoon is now that he is 30 years old (in Korean age; he’ll only be 29 internationally on his birthday in June this year), the establishing of new his goals, and gravitating towards a “30-ish state of mind.”

As we understand it, Rain’s attire in this photo shoot was provided by Alfred Dunhill clothing, his watch was by his endorser Cartier, his stylist was Park HyeJung, hair and makeup was by Choi Sunhwa/Total Nitrogen, and the photos were taken by Park JiHyuk. [Edited to add: Word on the street is this photo shoot was done while Rain was in Paris, back in January.]

For the moment, we do know that the magazine is available on the InterPark book order site (only in Hangeul that we can see; it is InterPark’s ticket site that has an English counterpart), and on the Yes24 order site (Hangeul only). We will be scouting around for any Internet order sites where English-speakers can purchase it as well.

[Feb-19-2011] Rain's agent in the USA comments on him, "Rain will surely be a global star who enjoys prodigious success all over the world."

'William Choi', who is in charge of the management of Rain in the USA, and one of co-representatives from a company, 'Management 360', which provides a service that works on hollywood celebrities' management, tells about Rain.

"Rain will surely be a global star who enjoys prodigious success all over the world.

I think he hasn't yet begun to show his age. He'll be on break by entering the military, but that does not matter.

He must be one of Hollywood's hottest and most sought-after young actors and be more famous than he was before entering the military, even after several years.

He has not only a good attitude toward work but also great guts, and the scope of his role is very wide enough to tackle any role with ease, from a romantic comedy to a science fiction."

On his mini homepage, Baekga and Rain are see sitting together with the famous Eiffel Tower as the backdrop, The photo has been captioned. “by100 & rain paris by100” . The boys fit in perfectly with the chic and cosmopolitan city, thanks to their individual and polished style.

Fans praised Baekga’s bold fashion sense, as he rocks a 2:8 hairstyle – normally, it’s very difficult to pull off successfully. Rain, on the other hand, sports a short hairstyle that shows off his clean image. Because of their different styles and personality, it could almost be said that these pictures came from a fashion photoshoot.

Netizens gushed over the photo, as they recalled that Baekga and Rain have a very close friendship. To recap, Baekga was unfortunately diagnosed with a brain tumor a little over a year ago.

[02-20] Rain in text book again

Credit : huhuhuhu @raincloudhk

I had my Korean lesson yesterday and as usual the teacher handed out his teaching materials. After reading the title I turned to the next page and saw our prince in text book again! The first sentence was

어제 가수 '비' 콘서트에 잘 갔다 왔어요?

(Did you go to singer '비's concert yesterday?)

Although the subsequent content had nothing to do with our prince, I couldn't help but shouted out with joy reading this sentence! The teacher looked at me and said: "I expected your reaction"

I study Korean because of our prince, what else would you expect from me otherwise?

Interestingly the title of the lesson is "An itching ear" When someone is being talked about by others he will feel his ears itchy! And do I wonder if our prince has to scratch his ears often as we talk so much about him!

anjjo, thanks for sharing this. I'm just so happy for Baekga that he's so well & better as time passes by.....Hope he's all well now. It's really a gift sent from the heaven. Their friendship is so sweet & cool. It's one of a kind! Talking about RAIN's attire, I love his jacket. And I hope one day RAIN will be back in this "lover's place" again taking with him his special someone already & not male friends - hehehe. Rain needs a girlfriend whom he can hang out with like that. But, it's really admirable seeing them together. I totally love the picture! I could tag it as: "Best Friends for Life" - Both of them are lucky that they got each other. Rain is really loyal and a good friend to Baekga. It's so nice to see them just vacationing and having fun.

[Feb-18-2011] <Eng.trans> Rain visits an air unit & his autograph.

*quoted image*

Rain's autograph

*quoted image*

actor 'Lee Jong Seok's autograph

When my father who's a commissioned officer in the air force told my mother yesterday, "Rain and his co-stars will visit our army base to do some preliminary research before filming a movie called 'Red Muffler'. Actresses who Rain plays in the movie with will visit other army base (the 18th reconnaissance wing)", my mother said, "Your inferiors could be disappointed since actresses won't come to your army camp."

The much-awaited day arrived, and today my father sent a SMS to me, attaching a picture showing Rain's autograph to, that says "Republic of Korea Air Force is great!!! Thank you always ♡."

I later found that actor 'Yu Joon Sahng', 'Kim Jung Soo', actress 'Lee Ha Na', actor 'Jung Kyung Ho', and actor 'Lee Jong Seok' were also there, including Rain.

In fact, I'm a fan of actor 'Lee Jong Seok', so I asked my father to get his autograph and had a SMS with a picture showing his autograph in a few minutes, that says "I've been briefed very well, and I'll help make a movie which will be a big hit, studying and practicing acting harder."

I was suddenly proud of my father, and I believe that this new movie will be a big hit !!!

As soon as the movie comes out, I'll be the first person to see it even during examination.

anjjo, thanks for posting RAIN's autograph. I hope that it will have people talk about the movie & it will be featured in some festivals abroad just like what happened in Cyborg. I hope he’ll shine more as brilliantly on the big screen again.

[Feb-21-2011]<Notice from rain-cloud> Please read the notice carefully before joining the Cloud fan club.

Hello, this is the 7th Cloud executive board.

If work were right on schedule, we would begin recruiting new members for the Cloud fan club today, but it will seem to take a couple of days to begin recruiting, in case of those who come from overseas countries except Korea and Japan. So please just be patient.

The guideline to the recruitment of those who come from Korea and Japan, will be noticed on today (on Monday, February 21st)

- First of all, each of 3 announcements in reference to the recruitment of the 8th Cloud members, will be posted

in three different ways as below.

1. Those who are living in Korea.

2. Those who are living in Japan.

3. Those who are living in overseas countries except Korea and Japan.

- Like this, each announcement will separately be posted by each country and regional group, so you are asked to carefully read each section that applies to you among 3 classified contents above, and then to follow the instructions.

- First, please click the banner for membership after logging in to become a member of this site.

(The announcement related to joining the club will be posted at 2 sections of the site, "구름들의 사랑공간" and "구름가득한방")

Second, please follow the form when a pop-up giving details of applying for admission comes on.

In order to become a member at each section, each of you needs your own ID and password when logging in.

1. Becoming a member of the club is based on residence, and the membership fee should be transferred to an account in the region that applies to each of you.

2. Those who come from overseas countries except Korea and Japan should pay in dollars.

3. It's impossible to submit a duplicate application by each country.

4. When you have any questions concerning the information :

Please get each master in each country in charge to give you more details.

(Japanese, those who come from overseas countries except Japan and Korea, and Koreans should contact master "hina", each master in each country, and Q&A section, respectively.)

5. "hina" will be fully in charge of the process for membership like the 7th term of the Cloud, in case of those who come from Japan.

6. Signs-up for membership will take place via "rain-cloud.co.kr", so you are asked to upgrade to Explorer 8 version or use Google Chrome program if you can't get to this site easily.

In borderline cases, you should watch how things will go through your friends.

We'll be seeking for another ways to make you get access to the site soon, and since we're slated to recruit additional members for the club even after closing, please don't worry too much.

Thank you.

anjjo, thanks for posting more photos during his Paris trip. It's so nice to see this pics that keeps on reminding you of something - especially when he was in London attending that MCM event. Honestly, lucky London fans! It's worth it when you actually get to see your favorite celebrities! Seeing those pics they even have his stuff, so it's real fans and not just people who want to see Korean actors/singers. Now THAT is dedication! I bet RAIN was touched. Hallyu spreading to the likes of Europe - that's so cool! It's still amazing although we know that RAIN fans are around the world!

Hi anjjo, ye, I know.........in fact, I like the spread photos as well.

Hi willenette, here's another treat, enjoy his broad shoulders and sexy back

Remember this from Full House? Do you think he will be like this when he joins the military or appears similarly in his film Living in Heaven? The hair is protruding at his back so it must be shorter.

anjjo, thanks for posting the photos. I tell you - not only sexy-back BUT front as well this time.....RAIN is so handsome & sexy! He looks real good. Wow, time to reminisce old times.......FH - hehehe. I don't want to imagine his looks when he enlists. Sigh.....here I am again - I'll miss him soon. He's making the most of his remaining time before the military takes over...I just hope he could rest & be healthy more before his enlistment comes. About his looks in the movie, I'm so excited to see although I know very well that his hair will be short - This is a must-watch movie this year because of RAIN, his last work before MS..... Good Luck on LITS! Can't wait to see some still photos soon. Let's all enjoy the movie. About this FH pics you posted, not a bad idea if he would always wear a cap in the movie so in case the hair will have no bangs I wouldn't see the forehead most of the time - hahaha. Kidding aside, oh, hopefully it will be successful.

So he started his training already. I know I said I am against war movies (especially if those are remakes) but maybe I will change my mind once I see Rain in his uniform, with his hair short and black.

bbly, ye, RAIN in a pilot uniform - Imagine him getting out of a plane in slow motion and sexily takes off his cap......*drools* - so cool!

[Guest bbly]

My dear bbly, how could I misunderstand your post, we've been online friends here for quite sometime and by now I am aware of your "style" heheh you know its hard to find someone like you who apologized first before posting your opinion on some issues, afraid to hurt the feelings of others, and for that I salute you!

You are too kind, dear anjjo ! I always prefer rather being careful than hurting or offending someone unintentionally. Written words can always be interpreted differently.

Ok, I don't know what to think about this Esquire Bourne Identity thing? Are they saying that our man looks like Matt Damon ? I hope not.

And regarding the comment from Rain's agent, of course he is still young (it doesn't matter if he looks younger or not) and secondly some stars in Hollywood made it big after they were 30, so it's not a big deal when he returns from MS and is only 31 years old (Western age).

Rain, reveals watch photos... sexy and wild

Sexy and wild watch pictures of singer Rain (Jeong Ji-hoon) were revealed.

He proceeded with watch photo shoots in fashion magazines "Esquire" and "Cartier". Rain is the first Korean to be on the magazines twice in a row after 2008 November.

He showed off masculine wildness and well kept elegance in these pictures.

Even if we're not talking about star power, he’s still the most influential, modest, respectful, and sexy celebrity of Korea. He looked clean and presentable in suits. I won't say "big thumbs up" to this pics since I love more the other photo you posted above but this cover is a very cool look!

[22-Feb-11][dkpopnews]SNSD's Yoona spotted holding Se7en's hand?

The photo of YoonA paying a visit to Se7en’s restaurant was shared on the internet recently.

On an online community, a post entitled, “YoonA was caught alone with Se7en” was published. However, do not be alarmed because YoonA was posing with a huge standing image of Se7en outside his restaurant, Yeolbong. In the photo, YoonA who dressed casually posed with a smile while shaking ‘Se7en”s hand.

Operating in Yeoksam-dong and Shinsa-dong in Seoul, Se7en’s steamed chicken restaurant, Yeolbong had received visits from a lot of celebrities besides YoonA. On February 21st at around 10pm KST, Rain tweeted, “Today we visited our dongsaeng’s (younger brother’s) restaurant” Among other celebrities who had visited Yeolbong are So Yoojin, Park Hanbyul, Lee Jung, Shim Taeyoon, Yoo Inna, BoA, SHINee’s Onew, Yoon Eunhye, etc.

1. Please correctly post your contact number where we can reach you, email address, and your full postal address for the membership card.

(We cannot be held responsible for what happens caused by wrong information)

5. You can check to see whether the payment have been credited to the account or can check out the list of those who have become members, at one time after the completion of the application.

(There seems to be a lot of considerable disquiet about whether the procedure for joining has been done properly, so the lists of both remitters and applicants will be announced on this site on a weekly basis.

First the details about it will probably come out this weekend.)

6. Make sure you keep your own remittance slip carefully which could be used instead of the membership card.

We hope to get a lot of interest from you.

We'd appreciate it if you let it spread to other sites far and wider.

Steamed chicken - sounds good to me! If Rain enjoyed it, than I am happy for him.

anjjo, wahhhhh........I love this! Thanks dear for posting more photo. Please keep them coming. In this magazine he’s wearing sleek, modern-cut suits that definitely emphasized his masculine charms. Hmmmmm... delicious man. This issue is definitely worth drooling over. Can it get any better than this? Love his SEXY expression in this spread.

bbly, I agree with you - hehehe - Although, there were times that I don’t love the way he looks, like his hairstyle I can never get enough of him. But, gosh, he looks so manly in the Esquire magazine.

I totally agree with you, it is amazing how much masculinity he radiates in this photo shooting! I have no idea if it can get better than this but this issue is for sure a must-have.

I wonder why Se7en opened a restaurant and if this is common in Korea. And I would like to know if it is really delicious or if people are biased because he is a celebrity and friend.
