[On Benamoo site, one of Daum fan cafes, on 29 January 2013, the military PD posted a comment putting heart into Corporal 'Jung Ji Hoon' (Rain) and communicating his current status in military.]

I've become Rain's fan since I heard his music and watched his dramas and movies.
I hope you are a big help when things are hard for him.
As I'm sure you all know, the days he gave morale-boosting concerts ought to be regarded as a work assignment rather than a personal leave.
By car, it takes ten hours from here to Yeosu Expo and back, therefore, he could not do it all in a day and had to be a guest at a cheap-looking hotel, the price of the room per day was about 30,000~40,000won.
I can't make heads or tails of this situation where although the truth is that it was impossible for us to pay the hotel bill that cost over 30,000 won by our military credit card, reporters gave the distorted report on purpose.
When he (Rain) is often seen in my company, it hurts to see his drooping shoulders. Please encourage him~ Fighting~~!!

CJ Entertainment Proudly Presents "R2B: Return to Base" DVD

Rivals on the Ground ... Allies in the Air

Action-Packed Drama Starring Rain, Flying Onto DVD March 12th  

"... high-octane finale ..."
- Los Angeles Times

"... pretty swell entertainment".
- Film Journal International

Two pilots must set aside their differences and lead the way to rescue a comrade and prevent war in the action-packed drama "R2B: Return to Base", flying onto DVD March 12 from CJ Entertainment America.

After pulling a dangerous, daredevil stunt at an air show, hotshot elite Air Force pilot Tae-hun (Jung Ji-hoon, aka Rain, Ninja Assassin, Speed Racer) is kicked off the military's top-notch "R2B: Return to Base" air team and demoted into combat.

Arriving at his new unit, the talented but reckless fighter is quickly popular with the majority of the squad, even sparking a heated romance with the lovely Se-yeong, the wing's best technician, whose faulty hearing is the only thing keeping her out of the air. But Tae-hun's brash ways soon cause tension with the unit's own ace top gun, the strait-laced Cheol-hui (Yoo Joon-sang, "In Another Country", "The Day He Arrives").

When a North Korean MIG fighter enters their air space, a reconnaissance mission erupts into a fierce dogfight, leaving one team member dead and another missing. Now, with just minutes to pull off the biggest airborne mission in history, they must set aside their differences and lead the way to rescue their comrade and prevent war …

"R2B: Return to Base" is presented in widescreen (aspect ratio: 2.35:1) and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound with English dub and subtitles. Special features include "Sortie's Ready! 500 Days of Filming", "Pilot G-Force Test" and " Characters " featurettes; behind-the-scenes; outtakes and trailers.

[press release][R2B][warning] Rain returns to North America: CJ Entertainment presents Black Eagle DVD.
2013.02.05

— Written and compiled by: Stephe Thornton, CloudUSA.org ^@@^

With it now being February 5, we'll go ahead and put up the actual Black Eagle (R2B: Return to Base) North American DVD press release that CJ Entertainment America's PR team were so kind to share with us last month. Huge thanks to them for allowing us to give you some of this information earlier, in our previous article on January 23 HERE.

Everyone, do be on the lookout for legitimate places where Black Eagle can be pre-ordered for purchase, starting today. Walmart seems to be one. And Best Buy seems to be another (although they need to step it up as far as providing decent information). As was brought to our attention a few weeks ago, Amazon.com may be another. Remember, this is a wide release, so look high and low, and chime in. Release date: March 12! Check out the places the movie is for rental on that date and after!

WARNING! PLEASE USE CAUTION. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! There is more than one "Black Eagle" movie out there now. Like a 1988 release starring Jean Claude Van Damme and a young Master Shô Kosugi. And this one, which appears to be a January 14 Region 2 release in the United Kingdom (we cannot vouch for this at the moment; we have sent an inquiry to CJ). Note the similar DVD box art, but Rain's North American movie slogan is "Take the Battle to the skies!", not "To break the enemy, you need to break the rules." Seeing as payment on Amazon U.K. is indeed in pounds sterling and not dollars, that tells you which one you're going to get in the mail. Capiche? Be careful where and what you order! And watch what you pay! You get what you pay for. The cheaper is not always the better.

Jan. 30, 2013

Kim Tae Hee was spotted for the first time after going public with her relationship with Rain.

Y-STAR‘s ‘Live Star News‘ showed footage of Kim Tae Hee visiting a hanbok store for her upcoming drama ‘Jang Ok Jung, Living in Love‘. Because she would be playing a Joseon fashion designer, Kim Tae Hee was fitted into the clothes she would be wearing on screen and checked over all the sizes herself.

The store employee commented, “Kim Tae Hee tried everything on and [decided on] what was the prettiest for [the drama character's] concept. She was very pretty.”

Even though the press surprised her, she never lost her smile in front of the cameras. However, when a reporter asked her about Rain, she showed surprise and left quickly.

[04-Feb-13][Dramafever]Jung Joon Ho Pokes Fun at Kim Tae Hee and Rain

Posted by memo-rain on February 6, 2013

Actor Jung Joon Ho commented on today’s hottest couple, Kim Tae Hee and Rain.

On MBC Section TV Entertainment News which aired on February 2nd, Jung Joon Ho flaunted his speaking ability as he brought laughter to the set throughout his interview.

During the interview, it was revealed that when the actor, who claimed that he has a quite a large social network, called Kim Tae Hee earlier last month on Happy Together 4. Despite all the anticipation, the phone was answered by an unfamiliar woman who stated that the phone was no longer in service. He reminisced about the embarrassing situation and explained rather jokingly, “I think around this time, Kim Tae Hee must have been busy dating Rain.”

But then he added, “It’s hard to carry on relationships amongst actors because we all end up working on different projects.”

THN's Korean Cinema Style Week 11: Park Chan-wook - "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK"

| 2013/02/08

This year will see three of South Korea's most commercially successful and critically acclaimed directors present their English language debuts. Kim Ji-woon ("THE LAST STAND"), Park Chan-wook ("STOKER"), and Bong Joon-ho ("Snowpiercer") have already proved themselves in their homeland, and here at THN we are taking a look back over their past efforts. Here's our first look at the films of Park Chan-wook, join us each week over the course of the next few months as we explore The Land Of The Morning Calm.

"I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK"

Director: Park Chan-wook

Year:  2006

Cast: Im Soo-jeong, Rain, Choi Hee-jin, Lee Yong-nyeo, Son Yeong-soon, Oh Dal-soo

Plot: After an apparent suicide attempt, Cha Young Goon is sent to a psychiatric hospital. She also believes she is a cyborg and so doesn't feel the need to eat. A fellow patient sets about encouraging her to not starve to death.

After hitting, what seemed at the time, a career high that could never be beaten, it was time for Park Chan-wook to try something different. His Vengeance Trilogy was receiving praise the world over, and he had made a name for himself thanks to the dark themes, gruesome visuals, and thought provoking content. Something new was needed, something completely removed from his previous work. Enter "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK", a bizarre fantastical romance that had more in common with the quirky worlds of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, than it did Park Chan-wook. However, this wasn't just a sudden change in approach triggered by some career crisis. "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK" came from a very touching place, and that was Park's decision to make a film more aimed at teenagers, of which his daughter was one.

I wanted to make a movie that my daughter and her friends could watch; one that dealt more with adolescent teenage concerns.

With that quote it's kind of easy to see where Park is coming from…kind of. The film has a very definite whimsical charm to it. It may take place in a mental institution, but each of the characters is crafted with a lovingness that makes it easy to relate or at least empathise with. The characters are infused more with slight quirks than what would be described as traditional mental illnesses. It is certainly an innocent fantasy that Park has sculpted this asylum into. Rather than delve deeply into specific illnesses, we have a series of patients who are almost like cartoons. There is the man who must always walk backwards and believes everything is his fault, a woman who suffers from mythomania and gives her own 'interesting' accounts of everyone's back stories, just to name a couple. Their illnesses are often played for laughs but never in a cruel and mocking way. Seeing Shin Deok Chun (Oh) take the blame for everything or just contemplate that certain actions may have been his fault, is humorous in a bittersweet kind of way.

In terms of the main characters we have Cha Young Goon played by Lim Su Jeong, best known for her role in "A Tale of Two Sisters", and Park Il Sun played by Korean pop sensation, Rain, in his first major acting role. Both these young stars bring an innocence to their roles which is essential but challenging to pull off. Young Goon believes she is a cyborg and has been admitted due to an attempt to attach electrical wires to herself via cutting her wrists. Seen as a suicide attempt; and because of a grandmother who believed she was a mouse, Young Goon looks to be recharged but believes food will cause her to malfunction. Il Sun is a kleptomaniac with a difference, he is able to steal people's souls and their traits. Il Sun feels an immediate connection with Young Goon and gives himself the task of convincing Young Goon to eat. Their entire relationship brings into question how those in psychiatric care are treated. The doctors' solution to Young Goon's refusal to eat, is to give her shock therapy and force feed her. On the other hand, Il Sun decides to play into her delusions, by "creating" a device that he then pretends to surgically place inside her. He tells her this device will convert food into energy without harming her. This works to a degree, but is it healthy to humour the mentally ill girl? Il Sun isn't completely oblivious to the dangers that his tactics may introduce, as we see in the final moments of the film.

1. [+204, -49] I don't even want to see this guy again. Don't ever media play about being a world star. Seriously, try that again and I'll kill you.

2. [+180, -28] Sigh... Wouldn't even hate him this much if he just admitted it. All this time, his only concern was image making, trying to seem masculine and cool but he's just a pathetic little guy under all of that... Just admit all of it and apologize.

3. [+169, -25] This ba$tard has more articles released while in the army than out ㅡㅡ

4. [+48, -6] World star.. more like world debt. Had to compensate $15 million USD for losing a lawsuit in Hawaii... Set up a fashion company and got caught trying to run away with the funds. Played around with J. Tune's stocks...

5. [+42, -7] The only thing Kim Tae Hee had going for her career was her image but thanks to you, that's all shattered so she's trying to go back to her Seoul University image by going around holding lectures... ㅋㅋㅋ How bad is your image for Kim Tae Hee's to go down with it?

3. [+325, -14] Can he really be considered a soldier protecting Korea?

4. [+274, -14] So he filed the lawsuit but obviously he's got something going against him that he refuses to attend despite being called in twice

5. [+254, -21] Your crime is too big to forgive... Go stand in line behind Yun Jung Hoon.
