anjjo said: As of now, with a sigh of relief, I hope we can move on and go back to normal. Rain should have realized after this latest "scandal" that a celebrity like him with such huge magnitude had little privacy and is always under scrutiny - the public is at all times watching, judging his every move. He must have learned his lessons and be more cautious in his future endeavors and life's challenges. I've read that the probation starts today (Jan. 9) till 15Jan.

(LEAD) Singer Rain disciplined for dating during service

(ATTN: UPDATEDS with more details in paras 2-3; ADDS comments by vice minister from para 8)

SEOUL, Jan. 8 (Yonhap) -- A military disciplinary committee said Tuesday it has ordered K-pop star Rain to not leave his unit for one week, the lightest form of military discipline that can be administered, over dating a top TV actress while on official military duty.

The move comes after the 30-year-old singer, who was spotted dating actress Kim Tae-hee while he was on leave last month, faced strong backlash from the public over the special treatment of celebrities while they fulfill their mandatory military service. All able-bodied South Korean men are conscripted to serve roughly two years in the armed forces.

class="art_title"Rain Disciplined for Bunking Off Military Duties

Singer and actor Rain has been grounded for one week as punishment for bunking off military duties to meet his girlfriend, actress Kim Tae-hee, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday.

The decision was made by a disciplinary committee at the Army entertainment corps, to which Rain belongs. A ministry spokesman said Rain's offense was failing to obey a senior officer. "Rain was told not to have private meetings while on military duty and is being punished for failing to obey the order," the spokesman added.

It was the lightest available punishment.

According to the ministry, Rain left his base citing official duties on Nov. 23, Dec. 2 and 9 to work on a song for a military event at a recording studio in Gangnam. On all three occasions he met up with Kim between 9 and 10 p.m. after working on his music and apparently was dropped off in front of his base by Kim's car.

Altogether the star has spent over 90 days off base since he started his military service, vastly more than any ordinary conscript could dream of.

MANILA, Philippines - Korean pop star Rain has been meted out punishment of one-week probation by the Ministry of National Defense following media reports showing that he dated actress Kim Tae-hee.

The singer, who is completing his mandatory military service, violated a military rule that prohibits enlisted citizens from having private meetings.

A Korean entertainment website posted pictures of the singer and the actress together.

However, his dating came under fire from Koreans, who said he was being given preferential treatment because he was a celebrity.

The light punishment a disciplinary committee imposed is that Rain will be confined to barracks for one week for self-reflection.

Reports said Rain dated Kim Tae-hee on Nov. 23, Dec. 2 and Dec. 9, the dates in which he was outside the military base on official business.

"Kim [Tae-hee] apparently drove him back to his base in the ministry compound every time, and Rain reported back at around 10:30 p.m.," according to the Chosun Ilbo.

The issue of Rain's days spent outside the base also became an issue.

The Chosun Ilbo said Rain took 94 days of leave or a fifth of his 450 days of service and had 28 days of regular holidays.

Another report said Rain had 44 days of overnight leaves to fulfill his official duties and 27 days as his vacation and to perform in shows as part of his duties as an entertainment soldier.

After the photos of Rain and Kim Tae-hee were published, the actress' agency confirmed that the two were dating.

It was reported that the actress left South Korea a few days ago to celebrate her father's birthday.

Rain and Kim Tae-hee are two of Korea's most popular celebrities.

The date controversy surfaced as Rain is just months away from completing his military service. He will be discharged on July 10.
