CJ Ent. sold the rights or better copies of R2B to many countries outside of South Korea. In US the movie came out already. I wonder what about the other countries, will they release the movie in the theater or just release it on DVD? Regarding Rain's ability of acting, I know that nowadays young singers are quite ambitious and really take acting seriously (just take for example Park Yoo-chun in SScandal, it was his first drama and he was really good). But in the beginning of 2000's, it was not very well received when singers suddenly turned actors and they weren't that successful. And at that time Rain decided to act in a drama and he did it although many adviced him not to do, to jump into acting only 1 year after his debut. But as usual Rain listened to his heart and proved everybody wrong. Doing Sang-doo in 2003 was the best decision as he proved from the hour 0 that he has a god-given talent and an awesome actor! And I am not saying that because I am his fan, it is a FACT! A friend of mine just recently watched Fugitive and she said although she didn't like the drama that much (she was honest and I respect her opinion), she was amazed by Rain's acting ability and already asked me what other projects he acted in ;-), so I would say our Rain convinces and wins them all!!!

[부여] 가수 비, 백제문화제 뜬다

축제기간 '국군방송 위문열차' 녹화차 부여 방문
2012.09.06

by CUCCI@rain-cloud.co.kr

“가수 비(본명 정지훈)와 함께 백제문화제를 즐겨보세요.”
제58회 백제문화제에 가수 비가 뜬다.
지난 4일 부여를 찾은 육군 제32사단 관계자는 백제문화제 기간 중에 국군위문방송인 ‘국군방송 위문열차’ 녹화방송을 부여 백마강 둔치에서 민·관·군이 함께하는 가운데 방송한다고 밝혔다.

이번 ‘국군방송 위문열차’ 녹화방송은 김근태 국회의원(부여·청양)의 마당발이 큰 역할을 했다.
위문열차 녹화방송에는 가수 비와 휘성을 비롯한 연예병사와 아이돌 걸 그룹 등 다양한 연예인이 출현하는 것으로 알려져 축제 관계자와 지역주민들의 자못 기대하는 바가 크다.
특히, 국방홍보지원대원인 월드스타 가수 비의 출연은 잇단 태풍으로 몸과 마음이 지친 지역주민들은 물론 백제문화제를 찾은 관광객들과 함께 호흡하며 젊음과 흥겨움, 열기를 선사할 것으로 기대된다.

군 (軍) 관계자는 “잇단 태풍으로 멍든 농심과 마치 자기 일처럼 피해복구에 전념해온 장병들에게 몸과 마음에 위로가 될 수 있는 좋은 기회”라며 “이번 기회에 민·관·군이 교류의 폭을 넓히고 관광객들에게는 최상의 공연을 선사함으로써 백제문화 선양의 기회가 되기를 희망한다”고 말했다.
한편, 대중스타들이 대거 출연하는 ‘위문열차’는 1961년 10월 처음 출발해 반세기 동안 이어지고 있는 국군방송의 최장수 프로그램이다.

[sep-07-2012] Rain commissioned to be a member of the judging panel for 'Be The Star'.

Rain serving in the Defense Media Agency, was invited to be a member of the judging panel for the final preliminary round of military audition program 'Be The Star' held at KT&G Center in Kanghwa-do on September 6th.

Unlike Sergeant "Park Hyo Shin and Pfc "Kang Chang Mo", this was the first time for Rain to be a member of the judging panel for 'Be The Star' which started in January. Sergeant "Park Hyo Shin and Pfc "Kang Chang Mo" were also members of the judging panel on this day.

As a coach and mentor, Rain gave sincere advice to soldiers who advanced to the final preliminary round.

Rain said, "I want to stress three things. 'The look in the eyes', 'the fullness of self-confidence', and 'Trying it whatever the outcome'. I'll vote for qualifiers of many talents rather than qualifiers who sing well."

In particular, Rain ranked Sergeant "Park Joon Woo"s singing abilities very high, saying, "He sang so well that even a professional teuroteu singer would have been put to shame. I think he should probably be set on taking over the enka markets in Japan by releasing a teuroteu album after his discharge."

Ten of a total of 39 teams survived to the finals on the 6th, and the winner will be picked on the 24th.

The final qualifying competition of military audition program "Be The Star" was held at KT&G Center in Kanghwa-do last 6th.

Rain who was invited to be a member of the judging panel for military audition program 'Be The Star' for the first time, gave outspoken comments, which made every performer tense.

Rain expressed his opinions "How you seek your own style is crucial. I am inclined to hate imitating the voice of somebody."

Also, he gave tips to Pfc "Yang Ji Hoon" who sang his hit song "How To Avoid The Sun", "Basically, there is nothing "Ji Hoon" can't do. Please don't take my color from my voice. You probably should have performed by concentrating on signing rather than dancing."

~0:10:36

[Rain] : We've missed you so much. Let us start the day healthily and energetically!

[KMC] : Listener 'Kang Choon Ho', "I'm a soldier serving in Daegwallyeong.
Many soldiers are waiting in line for the phone even though they are about to receive guerrilla training. They are anxious about their family's safety due to the typhoon damage, and they've been volunteering at the damaged site caused by the typhoon."

[Rain] : We've already received guerrilla training. I hope 'Kang Choon Ho' will do his best to fulfill his military duty until his discharge.

[Rain] : Listener 'Roger That', "I almost got into a car accident today, and the driver swore at me harshly. I'm still trembling!"
It's all water under the bridge.

[KMC] : Listener '#7870', "How nice to hear you two's voices again."
[Rain] : Listener 'Large', "It's so good to hear both of your voices again."
[KMC] : Listener 'Lee Dae Woo', "As the autumn draws near, we have cooler mornings and evenings now."

[Rain] : Listener 'Poomi', "Our largest appetites occur in autumn."
[KMC] : Listener 'Only Yiljin', "Working every weekend, I couldn't listen to the radio. But I'll tune to it today."

[Rain] : Listener 'Only One', "Last week, 'Jung Joon Yil' told us to do something different instead of listening to the radio on the weekend." (laughs)
That's out of question. He can't have it so. (laughs)

[Rain] : Listener '#3462', "I'm alone in the house on the weekend, but it's good because I don't feel lonely any more, thanks to you two."

[KMC] : Listener '#5024', "Welcoming the coming season of fall, my husband, my daughter, and I are getting ready to go out for a walk."
[Rain] ; Autumn is a great season to date with somebody.
[KMC] : I think you have a lot of experiences in love affair.
[Rain] ; I think there were quite a number of women who asked out me for a date. (laughs)

[KMC] : Listener '#7244', "Next Monday is my 14-year-old son's birthday."
Happy birthday!
[Rain] : Happy birthday!

[KMC] : Listener 'Eye', "I miss somebody in autumn."
[Rain] : Please try to ask out somebody you like for a date, giving him a book.

[Rain] : Listener 'Newt Rain', "I felt that I had been unjustly treated for the past week, but I tried to be positive."
We see a great deal in our long life. I hope you'll try to look on the bright side.

[KMC] : Listener 'Son Su O', "The old music introduced on the radio show last week, evoked memories of my early days. I'd like to make a special and memorable moment while listening to the show."

[Rain] : 'Son Su O' has sent letters and books to me. Thank her for her consideration, and I want to thank all those who have supported me both physically and spiritually.
'Son Su O' has a very unusual name, so it's easy to remember.
I think if she runs a restaurant, she can use her name for the restaurant. (laughs)

0:10:50~0:32:40
-Talk with 'Pyo Ju Yeol' about music-

[Rain] : 'Pyo Ju Yeol', thank you for joining us and giving us the time today.
[KCM] : This is typical autumn weather. 'Pyo Ju Yeol', do you like autumn?
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : When autumn comes, I often go fishing, so I like autumn very much.
[Rain] :When autumn comes, it brings back old memories.
In my middle-school years, I always wondered what my mother would bring home. (laughs)
[KCM] : I think you wondered if it was something to eat?
[Rain] : That's right. (laughs)

(1) Singer 'Kim Won Joon's Crazy.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : 'Kim Won Joon' was very popular in the 1990s, but he is quickly making his way up once again. His song 'Crazy', the theme song to the drama 'I Got A Windfall', is being a big hit in the country. He used to have a "pretty boy" image.
[Rain] : 'Shin Sung Woo', 'Kim Won Joon', 'Kim Min Jong', and 'Son Ji Chang' also
used to have a "pretty boys" at that time.

[Pyo Ju Yeol] : Listener '#8922', "'Kim Won Joon' sings with a captivating voice."
[Rain] : Listener '#7820', "I like to hear him sing."

[Pyo Ju Yeol] : Listener '#2930', "Every single word of the song rang so true to me."
[Rain] : I like to be direct in the lyrics of my song.
[KCM] : I like singing the lyrics of my song in an abstract way.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : I like such lyrics full of poetic expressions.
[Rain] : Pooh! The score is two to one in your favor. (laughs)
It was just kidding. (laughs)

(2) Singer and gagman UV's 'I'll Live With Her'.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : Singer 'Yun Do Hyun' participated in this album as a chorus singer.
UV's funny music videos have garnered a lot of attention.

[Rain] : There is something attractive about UV. I like the group because they are not pretentious. I also try not to be pretentious like them or singer Psy, etc.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : In that sense, I think Rain will be loved by many people.
[Rain] : On the other hand, there is a man who acts pretentiously in front of people to leave a good impression. He has a place next to me here. (laughs)
[KMC] : Please tell me who he is. (laughs)
[Rain] : You know as well as I do. (laughs)

[Rain] : Listener '#0232', "I've heard corporal 'Jung Ji Hoon' (Rain) will work with UV."
My collaboration with UV is currently in preparation. Please look forward to it.

[KMC] : Listener '#3864', "I prefer listening to funny songs. I hope Rain will sing duet with KCM after you two's discharge."
[Rain] : KCM is far above me in singing, so I don't think it's possible.
[KMC] : Come on, you don't need to flatter me.
[Rain] : Please don't overrate yourself. (laughs) It was just a joke.
I think KCM's charismatic features make me so attractive onstage.
[KMC] : As you know, my mother is now listening to this show. (laughs)
[Rain] : I know, of course. KCM on stage reminds me of that famous singer, Jo Yong Pil. (laughs)
[KCM] : Please don't make me blush. (laughs)
[Rain] : But, KCM's expression on his face when he sings on stage is quite a sight. (laughs) KCM would be a good singer if he would not just warble his way through the song. (laughs)
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : But, KCM is already a good singer. (laughs)

[KMC] : Listener '#7554', "Singer and gagman 'Park Myung Soo' also sang funny songs."

(3) Taylor Swif's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : She is a hot country singer and accomplished musician who has won many prizes. Also, she has exceptional beauty.

[Rain] : Listener 'Small Eyes', "She is good at singing, and there is gossip about her being involved in several scandals."

[KMC] : Listener '#4922', "Her singing skills are great."
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : The song hits number one on the Billboard charts.

[KMC] : Listener '#8332', "She has an attractive voice."

(4) R.Kelly's Lady Sunday.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : It's safe to say that R.Kelly is the king of R&B soul.
He has released smash solo albums since his debut in 1992.
He is an outstanding musician as there's no need to explain any more.

[Rain] : No one matches R.Kelly in R&B soul music, but he had been living on the street off before his debut. His place in music history is secure even though he has been embroiled in several scandals.
'Pyo Ju Yeol', thank you very much for coming in today.
See you next week.
[Pyo Ju Yeol] : Thank you. I'll see you next week.

0:32:35~0:34:57
[KCM] : Listener 'PC', "I watched a 4DX movie with my friend. During the movie, my chair was intermittently rocking back and forth and almost spilt a cup of pop corn on the floor."
I've never watched a 4DX movie.
[Rain] : When you get a chance, please try to watch it.

[Rain] : Listener '#9632', "I want to learn how to swim well."
Once you're determined to reach a goal, please keep going with staying power. Fighting!

[KCM] : Listener 'The Heels Of Another'. "When I found my funny old letter to my parents while cleaning the house, I burst into uncontrollable laughter."

[Rain] : Listener '#8798', "Today is my birthday, but I have to work and so can't get myself to relax."
[Rain] &[KCM] : (The two sang "Happy Birthday" to her)
Happy birthday!!

[Rain] : Listener 'O Se Wun', "I'm a soldier serving in Gangwondo's Cheolwon region. Yesterday was my close senior soldier's birthday, but I was too busy to have his birthday party. I'd like to give a small party for him later today."

0:35:09~
-Miss A vs Mr. B-

[Rain] : 'Kim So Jung', thank you for being on the show.
I think I haven't seen you for a while.
[Kim So Jung] : Long time no see.
[Rain] : I heard something bad happened to you.
[Kim So Jung] : Since my ear mike suddenly fell on the floor, there was an incident where the program was almost stopped during the live broadcast, but luckily I was able to conclude my comeback onstage in safety.
[KCM] : I know 'Kim So Jung' can sing and dance well. Which do you prefer, singing or dancing?
[Kim So Jung] : I like both of them.
[Rain] : KCM, please stop talking nonsense, and just do your work. (laughs)

-Story 1-
[Rain] : Listener 'My Heart', "It has been a year since I've broken up with my ex-girlfriend. Yesterday I received a short text message believed to be sent from her a year after I broke up with her, but my cellphone screen wasn't numbered. I thought it must be her message. I don't know her true intention, but on the other hand, I find my heart keeps wavering."
It means still she cannot give him up.

[KCM] : I think she just wanted to tell him how much she cherishes the memories of those old days and miss him.
[Kim So Jung] : So do I.
[Rain] : I think he does not really need to restore relations with her, but he can reach her with a light heart. That way, the reunion between the two may be cooler.
[KCM] : I think it might have been a wrong number. (laughs)
[Rain] : Yeah, it could happen. (laughs) In that case, I guess he will not have to show any particular response. (laughs)

[KCM] : Listener 'I Miss Rain', "Please just let her go."

[Kim So Jung] : Listener '#7638', "As a matter of courtesy, she did so."
[Rain] :But I think he can't put her out of his mind.

[KCM] : Listener '#3021', "Please don't dwell on it. Just forget about it."
[Rain] : Listener '#8686', "He is managing his women." (laughs)

[Kim So Jung] : Listener '#7554', "Her message reminds of me the fox and the grapes." (laughs)
[Rain] : Listener '#1030', "It feels like he's going to reach her."

-Story 2-
[KCM] : Listener 'Shrimp Cookie', "I've dated with my girlfriend since I ran into her in Busan a few years ago, but I'll be joining the army in December. She told me she would live freely during my military service, but I know that she says that in a jovial manner. However, I'm constantly worried that she would leave me during my military service."

[Rain] : I think he has to do his best to stop her from leaving him.
[KCM] : They should probably act on their desires.
[Kim So Jung] : I think they'll feel more comfortable if they just become friends after his enlistment.
[Rain] : That couple already belongs together, so it is impossible for them to become friends. The situation I hate the worst is neither fish, flesh nor fowl. (laughs)

[KCM] : Listener '#3462', "I think love affairs are beyond man's control."
If he just goes with the flow, he may get a clue to the problem.
[Rain] : But, only people who do their best get the chance to make their dreams come true.

[Kim So Jung] : Listener 'Rubber Shoes', "I'm sure she can wait."
[Rain] : Listener '#5698', "I think she's constantly in love." (laughs)
I don't think so. (laughs)

[Rain] : Listener 'My Love Boku', "I think he should just relax and let things flow. I hope he'll let go of his worries and obsessions."

[KCM] : Listener 'Because Of You', "If they truly love each other, their temporary separation shouldn't really matter."
[Rain] : It's important to do his best however the result turns out.

[Kim So Jung] : Listener 'Eye', "I hope he'll be in touch with his current emotions."
[KCM] : Listener '#8972', "She shouldn't have said such things in his hearing."

[Rain] : Listener 'Green Tea Ice Cream', "Frankly, out of sight is out of mind."
And to conclude, by December he has to do his best to stop her from leaving him. (laughs)
[KCM] : Anyway, I hope he and she hook up together.

-Story 3-
[Kim So Jung] : Listener 'Military Rubber Shoes', "There is a man with a lot of charm I've known for a very long time, but we've not yet formed a relationship. We used to be in regular communication by letter or date with each other whenever he got a vacation during his military service, but he suddenly dropped correspondence with me as soon as he left the army. We are not lovers, but I feel betrayed by his defection even though I don't have any feelings left for him."

[KCM] : He is such a bad hat!
[Rain] : I feel like he used her.
[KCM] : I think she should pay him for his insults by causing his trouble.
[Rain] : How? (laughs)
[KCM] : Let's try to think what to do. (laughs)
[Rain] : Is it really necessary to do that? I think she should cooly let him go.
[Kim So Jung] : I think the quicker she lets him go the better as far as I'm concerned.
[KCM] : Such a man looks for her only when he needs something. When he reaches her, she can get revenge on him by behaving coldly toward him.
That's exactly what it is...managing men. (laughs)
[Rain] : Incidentally, KCM has a wide circle of female acquaintance impliedly. (laughs) KCM often makes a long-distance collect call to somebody believed to be a woman for three hours after work. (laughs)
[KCM] : Rain's statement is at variance with the truth. (laughs)
[Rain] : I meant it for a joke. KCM is such a romanticist and he often makes a telephone call to somebody believed to be a woman over two hours, but I don't know who she is. (laughs)
Anyway, thank you for coming in today, 'Kim So Jung'.
[Kim So Jung] : Thank you.

[KCM] : Listener '#4537', "My eldest son has come to get a vacation for the first time since he was enlisted. I can see him three days from now."
[Rain] : Her son might be anxious for time to move on unlike her.
[KCM] : Rain's each and every word touches my heart with such intensity.

[Rain] : Listener '#7704', "I hope I'll surely be accepted by the university through nonscheduled admission."
We hope to see good results.
[KCM] : Fighting!

[KCM] : Listener '#5114', "I wish I had a younger brother."
[Rain] : Listener '#0988', "My father will be buying a laptop computer for me today. I can't wait to have one."

[KCM] : Listener '#5644', "I was so tired that I fell asleep quickly without washing myself last night, and I even overslept. But knowing that today is Saturday takes a load off my mind."

[Rain] : Listener '#7638', "I performed services for our community yesterday. But more help is needed."
In the wake of one of the deadliest typhoons to ever strike the nation last time, we also try to volunteer.

[KCM] : Listener '#5909', "It comes the Gizzard Shad season. I'll cook for myself."
[Rain] : I just have water in my mouth. Are you licking your lips, KCM? (laughs)
Please stop it. (laughs)
The most important thing for us, is to be good to our parents while they are here, regardless of the weather.
[KCM] : I'm in full agreement with you.

[Rain] : KCM, how are you today?
[KCM] : I'm really in a good mood today.
[Rain] : The weather is just right to go for a walk. I hope all the listeners will have a great weekend.
[KCM] : Small gifts will be provided for listener 'Military Rubber Shoes', 'Son Su O', and 'O Se Wun'.
[Rain] : This has been Rain.
[KCM] : This has been KCM.
[Rain] &[KCM]: See you tomorrow! Thank you.

[Rain] : It can be an instinctive reaction - if it's noon on the weekend you tune in to The Desire To Speed. Please have a good time again today by staying tuned to The Desire To Speed!

[Rain] : Personally, I like pop group 'Asoto Union'. (after their song)
[KCM] : Me too.
[Rain] : Are you able to guess who they are? (laughs)
[KCM] : Of course, I am. (laughs)

[KCM] : Listener '#8908', "I'll tune in to The Desire To Speed!"
[Rain] : New soldiers have recently been transferred to the Defense Media Agency.
A PR soldier named 'Gyun Woo' has a knack of impersonating other singers. He's so good at doing imitations. Others can't hold a candle to him.

[Rain] : Listener 'The Scent of Chrysanthemum', "I've colored my hair by using coffee, but consequently, my hair has been seriously damaged."
You'd rather apply the dye on your hair, instead of coffee.

[KCM] : Listener 'Have Courage', "I think I'm addicted to cellphone games. I want to get out of this mess."

[Rain] : Listener '#5575', "Autumn is the best season for reading, but I don't have time for books these days."
I want to recommend a book, Carnegie's 'How to Stop Worrying and Start Living', to you.
[KCM] : I want to recommend comic books to you. (laughs)
[Rain] : KCM, but you don't read any book recently. (laughs)
Except for working, you slept all day long. (laughs)

class="title"[Cloud USA] R2B Return to Base account: A Tale of Three Ajummas.

— Written by Stephe Thornton, Managing Editor@Cloud USA on September 11, 2012.

R2B Return to Base account: A Tale of the Three Ajummas (September 6, 2012)

Like Rain, R2B: Return to Base brings people together who would usually never meet or speak with each other.

I’ve been to see Rain’s Korean summer blockbuster, R2B: Return to Base, five times now here in Atlanta. Yes, five. So far.

The first time was just to get it out of my system. We have anticipated this film since early fall of 2010, when he was filming KBS TV drama The Fugitive: Plan B with the Media asking, Will Rain put on that Red Scarf? Will Rain star in a new Red Muffler remake? (It’s been nearly two years to the day that those rumors started.) We’ve waited since the announcement came from CJ E&M that yes, he would. And since early 2011, when he began R2B filming and behind the scene glimpses came filtering out. Summer 2011, when R2B filming wrapped. October 11, 2011, when Rain walked into army boot camp, snagged for two years by the R.O.K. military. After a full two years of waiting for R2B to finally drop in Korea, and then having it not only come to the U.S. a mere week after that but to the ATLANTA METROPOLITAN AREA with ENGLISH SUBTITLES, it was either be there on opening day or bust.

It really didn’t matter where I had to go. It could have been hours away at the other end of Georgia, or across the border into another state. Terri and I drove to NYC last fall for SM Town at Madison Square Garden. You think we’re not going to drive to RAIN?

The second viewing was for my review of the film (which I’m in the process of writing now, please stay tuned). The third and fourth times were to gauge audience reactions (also a part of my review) and for fun. The fifth time (and any hereafter, R2B is in the third week of its limited release here) was totally for my personal enjoyment (again, fun). Rain being larger than life in his latest project, on a movie screen that I can drive to, is an amazing occurrence that I never thought would ever happen. His talent shines like new money in this movie, as do his cast mates’, and R2B itself is a romp of doggone good entertainment. You laugh, you cry, and you laugh again. Heheh.

amccolonial18atlanta_r2b_cusa.jpg?w=300&

You know, it would have probably helped English-speaking moviegoers to know that R2B was Korean WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Fail.

When I arrived at the AMC Colonial 18 in Lawrenceville last week on September 6 for what I thought was the final showing of R2B, I certainly didn’t expect anyone else to be there. It was a weekday, early evening, barely past rush-hour traffic, and most people (who weren’t still stuck on the roads or on the job) would be at home feeding their kids and trying to unwind from another hard work day. But as I walked into the theater, I heard loud talking. Loud talking, in Korean. I froze at the stairs when I saw the two ajummas (아 줌마) sitting in the middle of the theater in the semi-darkness. They quieted, and stared back. I stared at them. They stared at me, probably thinking I had wandered in the wrong door. After all, I’m a large Black woman and R2B is straight-up Korean, kind of a strange combination when you think about it. I stared at them. They stared at me. I stared at them. They stared at me. Finally, I snapped out of it, went up the stairs past them, and found a seat where I had a great panorama of the screen.

While waiting for the movie to start, I got comfy-cozy, had some snacks, and listened to the ajummas talk. Loudly. Only a few words that drifted up to me made sense, seeing as I’m a mere grammar student at this point. “괜찮아” (gwaenchanh-a, it’s okay)… “네맞아요” (nemaj-ayo, yeah that’s right)… “우리차” (uli-cha, our car)…” 저쪽 이상” (jeojjog isang, over there, over yonder)… I thought I caught a couple of 비s up in the mix too, but they were talking so fast…

R2B started and I was a happy camper, even more so because I realized that, with the ajummas being loud, I could catch some their reactions. They were quiet when Rain came on screen for the first time, but chuckled and laughed at his antics and those of his cast mates’ throughout the film. They guffawed at the whole glider scene, chattered excitedly over aerial combat, cracked up at his reaction when he finally got a date, and seemed properly somber during the suspenseful parts. They got really quiet when I laughed at Rain with the Korean cartoon tears on his face (I think an American finding that funny probably freaked them out).

All too soon, the movie was over and singer Heo Gyu was crooning the ending theme “Closer To the Sun.”

I looked down below me. I didn’t see anyone. The ajummas had been so quiet the last half-hour, I assumed they had snuck out close to the end, so I checked my phone, grabbed my tote and stood up to leave. Turns out they were just really short women, because that was when they popped up out of their seats, turned around, and stared up at me.

I stared at them. They stared at me. I stared at them. They stared at me. It was like déjà vu, man, and it was starting to get weird, so I tried the first thing that came to me. I waved. And they waved back.

That was my cue to not leave the way I’d come in, but to cross the theater and leave with them.

Their first question was, “You like Korean film?” Me: “Oh, yes, for a long time.” Ajumma #1 was digging frantically in her purse, I wasn’t sure why. Ajumma #2: “This film has famous singer, you know?” Ajumma #1: “Yeah, famous singer from Korea. L-l-l-ain.” Ajumma #2: “Bi. You know Bi?” Me (Ajumma #3) (with a chuckle): “Ooooh, yes. I know Rain, all right.” Hahaha! Hilarious, right? Picture me so tickled, I was grinning like this at that question:

They were all too happy to prime me on Rain as we strolled out into the carpeted corridor. “This is his film, yeah.” “He’s in the Army now, yeah. In the Army.” They seemed quite proud of him. “He’s a good singer. Really good.” “Oh, so handsome! Real cute, yeah.” “Actor, he does everything.” “He’s the best dancer. The best. Real sexy. Like this here…”

That’s when Ajumma #1 (who also could have been a Halmeoni)(할머니) proceeded to bust a move right there in the AMC that looked something like minute marker: 0:37:

Ajumma #2 cracked up at her. I just lost it when she tried to do an abbreviated “Hip Song” grind. Talk about awesomeness.

They were very surprised when I told them I’d been a Rain fan for nigh on seven years and considered him a real talent.

After we hit the Ladies Room, we talked about the new CJ Entertainment film coming to the AMC in September, Masquerade (starring Lee ByungHun), and how I became interested in Asian culture as a child, how my Air Force vet father adored Seoul when he served there and sent us home everything from clothing to furniture to dolls in hanbok, and how much both ladies had enjoyed R2B.

Out in the parking lot, as we separated to go to our cars, Ajumma #1 finally found what she’d been searching for in her purse and gave it to me—a pack of Orion Gosomi premium biscuits. “For you. They’re really good.” Talk about making my heart happy! I love how eager the Koreans I’ve met have been to share of themselves, their culture, and simply help me out, even if they could barely speak English. That’s what life’s all about, folks. (She was right. Those crackers were delicious.)

Like Rain, R2B: Return to Base brings people together who would usually never meet or speak with each other.

This has been a tale of three ajummas and one Korean film. And how, when anyone steps outside of the norm with a smile and a wave, they can help make the world better.
