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

[willenette]

*** I remember during 2006 when RAIN shot this photo exhibition he was perplexed when he had to pose with a one-month-old baby in his arms. He doesn't really know how to hold a baby. When the shoot was nearly over, the infant suddenly had an "accident" all over him......the baby urinated. Rain's clothes and hands were soaked in pee - hehehe. The Love Photography Exhibition has been held annually since 2003 by the Social Welfare Society and photographer Cho Sei-hon to help children in government care and aims to match unfortunate children with loving adoptive parents.

Remember this photo?

Celebrities Raise Awareness of Adoption with Photo Exhibition

Korean celebrities are being drawn to a photographic exhibition by photographer Cho Sei-hon as part of a campaign to encourage adoption.

The 20 photos feature stars such as Choi Ji-woo, Lee Min-ho, Kim Hye-soo and Lee Seo-jin holding up babies who have been abandoned by their parents but who are blissfully unaware of this as they mesmerize the viewer with their innocent smiles.

The photographer, who will display his works at Seoul's Insa Art Center from Dec. 14 to 19, has been working on the project since 2003. The idea was sparked when a social worker approached him about taking a picture of a 100-day-old baby who was up for adoption, and Cho saw this as an opportunity to raise awareness of the issue.

About 100 celebrities, such as Rain, Kwon Sang-woo and Ko So-young, have participated in similar exhibitions so far.

"I've been holding these exhibitions every year, but I'm always hoping that I don't have to do this because there will be no more babies up for adoption," Cho said.

"I hope more children find good families through the exhibition, so they can grow up being well-loved and cared for," he added.

For more information about the exhibition, call 02-567-8814.

Hi willenette, thanks for reposting the photo, how could I not remember it? I love said pic plus the funny memory that goes with it. Rain is so lovable when it comes to kids, specially girls/daughters but I think it will take a long time before we see him as a dad.

Hi anjjo, I do agree with you - RAIN to settle down after his MS is quite impossible yet..............I think (5) years more after his discharge might be possible.....................But, I just hope & wish for him that there will be a girl to take care of him soon.....I want him to be happy.

We try to pass along a request.

Hi, we're 8th term Cloud executive board.

As mentioned earlier, we were going to support Rain by providing the items he needs

immediately after he was deployed at an unit where he officially serves in the army.

But the Rainy Entertainment side has asked us to hold on, and we're waiting to hear from

the side. It's natural you are wondering why they've asked us to do that, so we'll let you

know soon as we hear from them.

And, we have a special favor to ask of you.

It's just that.. each of you would probably like to express your gratitude to Rain who has

been undergoing military discipline in cold weather, and whose hard work which has made

him the pacemaker among his soldier mates.

However, we ask that you need to refrain from personally contacting him a little bit more,

remembering what he said, "I want to serve in the army in obscurity."

Instead, we hope you'll support causes affiliated with upcoming Cloud fan club event by

stating your invaluable comments.

Thank you.

anjjo, every time I see some photos in bibigo I always think of his upcoming movie. Look at some other cast here - We must admit that beside the leading lady and man roles, there are sidekick /supporting roles which if played by perfect person would be great additional appeal for a drama/movie. KSS for example in this movie l feel that he’ll be playing an important role for the movie and we also loved how he and RAIN created a deep chemistry and many memorable funny moments in FH. So I’m thrilled when I knew that he will join upcoming RAIN’s movie as the pilot as well.

***Watching all these video clips again I remember all stories we read during this ceremony. I remember how it was reported that he was eating for 2-hours during that day & consumed (4) boxes of packed-food brought by his families & friends.....Even before we know that RAIN really loves FOOD..............Wondering why RAIN doesn’t gain too much weight when he eats too much, huh? Well, there are people who do not gain weight no matter how much they eat. Maybe he’s one of them. I wish I could be like them. But, there are so many goodies in the world, which are yummy. Isn’t it that what we like we eat a lot, what we don’t like we don’t eat much. It’s similar to everyone else & maybe RAIN is like this. I remember the time when he suffered from weight issue. Netizens were saying he was swelling up. He has the bod and he has the fast metabolism. Aish………..some people have everything. Life really isn’t fair – hehehe.

Hi willenette & bbly, today is the 2nd month anniversary of Rain's enlistment and 2013 is still very far away With the announcement that Rainy Entertainment is taking over the materials and informations about Rain, and is going to handle the paperwork related to Rain, including his portrait rights during his military service I wonder why Hana ( @daisybong ) @29rain's sister deleted her Twitter account - as reported by ratoka in her facebook account. I have known as previously reported that Appa Jung founded Rainy Entertainment and it is understandable that Hana is assisting him with the running of Rain's updates and her twits are our best source, so it is really surprising why she did that. I suppose we must respect her reason for said deletion and hope for Rainy Ent's proper management of Rain's current concerns and issues.

- Rain was in Busan city attending Busan International Film Festival at that time (10~13th October 2011) and found Mr and Mrs Hong (Seung Heun) there. -

아이구~~~형한테 이쁜 짓하는것좀 봐요!

Oh my~~ Look at the gentle loving gesture of Rain to his hyung (my husband) !

늘 느끼지만, 다정하고, 멋있고, 형~형~누나~누나~그런 살가운 니가 우린 넘 이쁘단다.

Always thinking that Rain is so cool, we can always sense Rain trying to be affectionate to us while calling us by the title, hyung~hyung~nuna~nuna~ We are deeply moved by his affection towards us.

이쁜 짓도 곧잘하는 지후니

Ji Hoony (Rain) who often does things that strike on our mind.

어우~~오늘 차에서 내릴때 다른때보다 더 멋져 보였어 ㅎㅎ

Wow~~Rain looked more handsome than ever when he got out of his car today..haha..

니가 퍼주니까,,,매운탕이 더 맛있더라 ㅋㅋㅋ

It seemed to taste better, since Rain ladled Maeuntang (spicy seafood stew) into a bowl for us...kekeke..

해운댈 와두, 우리보다 더 잘다니고, 더 여유로운 지후니,

니가 델꼬 하는데는 다 맛있어.

아마도,,, 너니까 주방장들이 더 맛나게 해주는게 아닐까 싶다.

니가 퍼주는 것도, 오늘이 마지막일 듯 싶구나 ㅠㅠㅠ

Rain who got around more often than us and was more leisurely than we were even in Busan's Haeundae beach.

Any food served in any restaurant he took us, appealed to our palate.

Maybe, every chef was more concerned with cooking the food because of Rain, a very prominent guest.

I'm so sad at the thought that today is likely to be his last day of ladling the stew for us..ㅠㅠㅠ.

His first words were always, "How's Howari (her daughter) doing?"

I'll raise her (Howari) well..

It was a day when he briskly said "Aah~I must enter the military now", but I was rather worried about him.

We'll make an effort to win a championship ring the winning team will be presented with, and we're going to visit Rain who is in the army with roast chicken and the ring in hand as we promised.

I hope he (Rain) stays healthy in cold weather.

[De-12-2011] Rain is to officially serve in the military as a teaching assistant at a recruit training center belonging to the 5th Division from today.

Singer and actor Rain (his real name, Jung Ji Hoon) is to officially serve in the military as a teaching assistant at a recruit training center belonging to the 5th Division beginning on the 12th of this month.

Rain has received his military basic training and executive education based on a core technology for the battle that includes special qualification and firing exercise at a boot camp during the past three weeks.

Before this, 19 of 20 and 10 of 10 targets went down before his shooting during a day and night rifle drill, respectively, so he received a perfect score in the test and made it to the top 3. For his high grades, he even received a citation signed by the divisional commander.

Meanwhile, Rain is going to have a job training recruits who have just entered the military. He is expected to serve in the army for about 21 months, and will retire from the army on 10 July 2013.

Sigh...........2013 is still so far away.............But, I don’t think RAIN signs up with new Agency other than his Rainy Entertainment when he discharged from the military on 2013. About these Adidas photos, RAIN can sell anything & it would be sold out due to his popularity. The man will be a success to model anything.

I feel so sad & bad that Hana is deleting his Twitter account now. Now, we could just rely on Daddy Jung's update..... Wondering how’s his ankle right now, huh? What about his health condition? I hope everything goes well for him! Was his ankle injury recovered already? Wondering also if the cast has been put on? Although it’s not a severe injury I just hope it didn’t affect his ability to walk. I hope he doesn't push himself too much because it can easily turn into something worse.... I hope he’s alright now because ankle injury doesn’t go away quickly. I hope he’ll be more careful! Take Care, RAIN & stay healthy!

Drought in most of his sites are creeping in already.......................I hope we could get to hear about him. This is the reason why I hated his going into military service. I don’t want RAIN’s popularity to burst like a bubble. I don’t want it to ever going away. Sometimes I’m worried that it could suddenly disappear like bubbles popping after MS but I’m very sure that Clouds are going to transform the bubbles into soap, and solidify so it can’t pop. I’m sure his popularity is still on the rise when the time comes! I’m sure he will try harder to become better than right now.

Rain Pays Tribute to Outgoing Manager

The K-pop superstar Rain has paid tribute to the role of his manager Park Jin-young in his stellar rise. Park “taught me to fish instead of how to eat fish. He taught me many things, including how to sing, but he always stressed the importance of standing on my own feet,” Rain told reporters.

Dressed in pink dress shirt and black suit, Rain was discussing the end of his contract with Park’s management agency JYP at a press conference before a concert at Japan's Tokyo Dome. Park “has taken care of me with great sincerity over the last few years. I thought I’d better give him some space,” Rain said. The singer will decide where to turn next once his world tour ends in June. He may either move to another management firm or set up his own independent company.

Rain is the first Korean pop singer to perform at the Tokyo Dome, which seats some 43,000. The concert has been thoroughly prepared, he said. “Stage equipment weighing more than 100 tons is used in the show. When the Japanese production suggested a concert at the Tokyo Dome, I actually doubted whether I could do it. I’ve heard many top Japanese artists played with less than half the seats filled at the Dome. I confess I was relieved that tickets have sold well.” Rain’s world tour started last October and is nearing the end. “The world tour was a great opportunity for me to test my shortcomings and transcend my limitations before entering the U.S. market,” he added.

Asked about the recent parody of his music video on the popular U.S. satirical show “The Colbert Report,” Rain said it was an honor. “I’ve watched the program. I was surprised when I saw the show host imitating my music video. He chooses only world-class celebrities as his topic.” Rain was in good company: Madonna, Michael Jackson and Lindsay Lohan were also parodied on the show.

Recently, Rain got a foot in the door in Hollywood by being cast in a supporting role in "Speed Racer." “I met the Wachowski brothers, who created ‘The Matrix’, and I decided to play the role. To become a top star in Hollywood, I think it’s important to build a career by taking each step cautiously. This role is like a miracle for someone who doesn’t speak English very well.”

But Rain still shows great passion for music. “I’ve been writing down my ideas about music since I was a trainee. When I have more confidence in my music, I’d like to become a producer.”

He gives credit to Park for getting him where he is today. “If Park hadn’t made songs for me, I wouldn’t be here. I was lucky to work with Park. I am happy with every step I’ve been through.” So what drives him? “I want to win the war against myself, because if I fall, hundreds of staff working with me would stumble.”
