Rain to unveil his home to fans on reality TV show


Dec 19,2013

Rain
World star Rain will give fans an inside look at his home on the upcoming reality show “Rain Effect.”

The singer, who debuted about 15 years ago, will open the doors of his home so that fans can get a closer look at his everyday life on a reality TV show on cable channel Mnet.

“It might make people laugh because he tries to avoid the cameras set up all over his house, [especially] when changing, so he hides behind doors,” said the broadcaster. “It will also be touching to see how he has strived to keep his body muscular, although he is not a big fan of sports.”

The reality program will air the first episode tomorrow at 11 p.m.

“Fans will find Rain very attractive as he shows many mistakes because he is not yet used to the reality program format,” the production team said. “Also, it was impressive to see him putting in his best efforts to keep his top position.”

class="title"[brief synopsis][caps][Rain Effect] From Stephe’s desk: Episode 1 from an English-speaker’s POV. raineffectopeningterryyu_cusa.jpg?w=497

Cap courtesy of Terry Yu @Twitter.

Rain arrives at his house, says hello to little General (Janggoonie) and his other dog, a giant poodle. After shooing Jangoonie out (probably to do his “business”), Rain tells the poodle to sit for a treat (앉아! / an-ja!) and when that doesn’t work, sits on the dog and shows how it’s done. And gives it a treat. LOL! ^@@^

bb27llhiiaawmth.jpg?w=497&h=280

Cap courtesy of 74rabi @Twitter.

He changes clothes behind a door (the only way to avoid the cameras in the house) and has lunch with his personal assistant. After that, it’s on to the airport to leave for Japan (time to ZEPP!), and on the way he stops and gets his hair “did.”

When he arrives at the new Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk hotel in Japan, the first thing he does is LEAP on to the bed a la JiWoo in The Fugitive: Plan B, LOL! Then he takes a gander at all the cameras. When it’s time to have a “serious” meeting with his Fabulous Crew, whatever it is he’s saying gets NO response from them whatsoever (particularly Gori), and Rain leaves the room in a snit after throwing down his water bottle. When the crew follows him, we see the real deal — everyone falls out in laughter as it was only a birthday prank being played on Gori (Big K). Food and drink all around! Good acting, JiHoon! ^@@^

{*Edited to Add: Because of this article at enewsWorld, now we know that Rain was “complaining” to the team about their dancing and how they didn’t work well together as a team anymore in order to prank Gori. Poor birthday guy! Aw!^^)

On the plane to ZEPP Osaka, he reads an article about himself on one of his peep’s cell phones.

The Fabulous Ones and their glorious leader jet over to Hong Kong for the 2013 MAMA. On the plane, it’s time for going over choreography, and sleeping. Except for Rain, of course—while others are resting, he’s got his ear buds in, still going over things. That’s our world star workaholic! ^@@^

When he arrives for his 2013 MAMA rehearsal, he looks road-weary but nothing stops him from taking care of business, and you still see a spark of excitement in him.

The night of the 2013 MAMA… When Rain is out of hair and makeup and is fully dressed except for his pink blazer, he pays a visit to good friend Lee Hyori backstage!

Aaaaaand… that’s where we leave off until Episode 2 next week. Total broadcast time, 54 minutes (and not one interruption for a commercial ad. Now we see why they played them all at the very beginning. Great job, Mnet!) I feel blessed to have been able to watch this episode live. If Mnet America comes through with English subs, that will be gravy on the potatoes!

class="titleNews"Lee Hyori Claims Rain’s Parody Dance to IU’s Song is ‘Dirty’


2013.12.20

Lee Hyori bashed Rain on his parody dance to IU’s song on Rain Effect.

In December 19’s broadcast of Mnet’s Rain Effect, Rain was seen meeting with Lee Hyori and Lee Ha Neul in the waiting room for 2013′s Mnet Asian Music Award.

Upon seeing Lee Hyori, Rain hugged her tightly and talked about his time in the army and how IU’s song was used to wake his team up every morning.

Lee Hyori Claims Rain’s Parody Dance to IU’s Song is ‘Dirty’

“I even memorized IU’s dance moves,” said Rain, who then started dancing to IU’s You & I at the spot.

“That’s too sexy,” commented Lee Ha Neul upon seeing Rain’s hand moves, but Rain refused to stop and continued his parody of IU’s dance, folding his hands in and out with his arms spread widely.

“Now that I think of it, that move is suggestive. I didn’t realize it when IU did it, but you made the dance dirty,” said Lee Hyori, embarrassing Rain.

Lee Hyori Warns Rain to Watch Where He Places His Hands

Singer and actor Rain brought cameras backstage of the 2013 MAMAs in the latest episode of Mnet’s “Rain Effect” that aired on December 19. 

In particular, he stopped by Lee Hyori and Lee Ha Neul’s waiting room, sweeping Hyori up into a tight hug since it had been a while they last saw each other. 

The now married Lee Hyori greeted him playfully saying, “That’s adultery,” before asking, “How have you been? It’s been a really long time.” However, once she discovered the cameras she turned on Rain and reprimanded him more harshly saying, “What is this. You can’t just do whatever you want with Noona’s body” causing everyone to laugh. 

In related news, “Rain Effect” is a new show that will follow Rain’s preparations for his comeback as a world star after two years.

class="at_title"How Was the First Episode of ‘Rain Effect’?

 December 20, 2013 10


How Was the First Episode of ‘Rain Effect’? (Photo : Rain Effect screen capture)


Singer and actor Rain returned to mainstream media through his new reality program "Rain Effect." There's much anticipation as to whether he will be able to restore the familiarity he once had with his fans through this new show.

The first episode of Mnet's "Rain Effect" aired on the 19th. His goal was to show off a candid side to him that previously remained unseen in other works and onstage as a world star.

Despite having 15 years under his belt since his debut, Rain isn't familiar with reality programs. Rain wants to draw closer to the public by showing himself just as he is, without any fluff.

Rain has taken a long break from the public's view, especially because of time spent in the military. He was also wrapped up in the entertainment soldier controversies. And there's question as to whether he will be able to wash away the negative image that he's currently enveloped in.

That's the reason why Rain made himself vulnerable and showed his plain makeup-less face. He also revealed his face and did his best to show that he's putting special effort into the show.

Not only that, the show also revealed the preparations that went into his first Japan tour in 4 years, as well as his rehearsals for 'MAMA.'

Shin Chun Ji PD said, "The viewers are probably most curious about this popular world star's everyday life, and Rain as a person. We've captured Rain's private life in his relationships with others and his home. So you can look forward to the show."

[20-Dec-13][allkpop]J.Y. Park says Rain reminded him of a starving lion

Posted by memo-rain on December 21, 2013


jyp.jpg


J.Y. Park shared that Rain left a pretty beastly first impression on him.


The JYP Entertainment CEO held his 'Bad Party - Halftime Show' concert on December 20 at Seoul's Olympic Park, where he revealed that former JYPE artist Rain was like "a lion about to starve to death" when they first met.

Before singing "Instead of Saying Goodbye", J.Y. Park said, "A hyung I knew asked me to see an audition. He said it was someone who was rejected by 16 labels. When [Rain] walked in the door, he was like a lion that was about to starve to death."

He explained, "Though he looked tired and like he was going through a rough time, he had a lion in his eyes. He was full of pride and dreams. Though he wanted to be a singer, his pride didn't allow him to beg for it."

J.Y. Park's 'Bad Party' concert has been going on since 2007, and this year marked his 19th anniversary as a singer. As for Rain, he's currently preparing for his comeback as well as starring in his reality show 'Rain Effect'.

What do you think of JYP's comparison?

Rain and Kim Kwang Min Reveal Hilarious Details of Their High School Life

Singer Rain‘s long-time friend and actor Kim Kwang Min recently shared what his school mate was like in high school.

On December 19, Kim Kwang Min appeared on MNet’s special program titled “Rain Effect.” Rain was getting ready to catch a flight to Japan in order to attend his Japanese tour, and after choosing a fashionable outfit fit for the airport, he finally headed to the van. Much to his surprise, Kim Kwang Min was waiting at the van and warmly greeted the world star.

Bi said, “He promised to help me with my Japanese tour. We have been friends for 15 years, and we met during our second year of high school.” Hearing this, Kim Kwang Min corrected, “Not the second, but during our first year,” to which Rain added, “Well, wasn’t it the sophomore year when we became friends?”

The actor answered, “Right. Rain was quite popular and successful around his freshman year, so he became arrogant and looked at people like they were bugs,” jokingly teasing his friend. Surprised over the sudden attack, Rain decided to respond with a similar tone, “If this were high school right now, he would not be able to joke like this,” to which Kim Kwang Min commented, “I matured a lot in ten years in my own underground scene,” making everyone burst in laughter.

“Rain Effect” airs every Thursday at 11pm (KST).

Lee Hyori appears on Rain's reality program for a hug and a chat

December 20, 2013
Lee-Hyori-Rain_1387578563_af_org.jpgA new episode of Rain's reality program 'Rain Effect' aired on December 19 and included footage of Rain meeting up with Lee Hyori and DJ DOC's Lee Ha Neul backstage at the 'MAMA' this year.


Lee Hyori responded, "Hey, this noona is no longer a noona you can mess around with however you want."

Upon seeing Rain, Lee Hyori said, "It's really been a while.  How have you been?" and gave Rain a nice hug while Lee Ha Neul exclaimed, "Affair, affair, affair," to everyone's laughter.

Rain said, "While walking all the way to the waiting room, I could not tell who was who."  Lee Hyori had another sassy response for this statement!  She teased, "You couldn't even though you know every woman?  You did not learn every single one of their names while watching TV in the military?"


Rain responded automatically with, "I did learn them."  To further amuse everyone, Rain said, "Our wake-up call was IU's song so I even learned the choreography," and started doing the main point in IU's dance.


Watching him, Lee Ha Neul said, "Aren't the movements too erotic?" and Lee Hyori agreed, "Now that I look at it, it does seem kind of erotic.  I couldn't tell when IU did it, but it looks dirty when you do it."


Although they haven't seen each other in a long time, it appears their cute friendship and teasing hasn't gone away.

class="content-title"Rain Says He Mastered IU’s Dance Routine While Serving in the Military class="content-title"Dec. 20, 2013rrrrrrrrr.jpg

On the Mnet show “Rain Effect,” which aired on December 19, singer and actor Rain was at backstage of the “2013 MAMA.”

Rain visited his close friends, Lee Hyori and DJ DOC member Lee Haneul, in their waiting room. Rain said to Lee Hyori, “I didn’t recognize anyone while I was walking over here.”

After Lee Hyori heard this, she asked, “Don’t you know all of the girl groups? Didn’t you memorize all of the [girl groups] members’ names when you were in the military?” Rain answered truthfully and said, “I did.”

He spilled the beans about his military experience and said, “Do you know what our morning bugle was [in the military]? The senior officers turned on IU’s song when they woke up in the morning. I even memorized the choreography. If they asked me ‘Hyung, can you dance to the song?’ and I would [dance for them].” Rain then continued to demonstrate IU’s dance.

As he observed Rain’s arm movements Lee Haneul said, “Isn’t this too much?” and Rain replied, “But this is part of the choreography.”

Lee Hyori embarrassed Rain saying, “This is too provocative. I didn’t realize it when IU did it, but it looks dirty when you do it.”

class="at_title"Rain Tells Lee Hyori How He Used To Start Every Day In The Army By Dancing To IU's 'You & I'

December 20, 2013


rain-revealed-to-lee-hyori-left-that-he-


Rain's two years of service in the South Korean army's now defunct Promotional Support Brigade were highly publicized.

Yet, apparently not all aspects of the 31-year-old K-pop singer-turned actor's days in the army have been uncovered.

In Thursday's series premiere of "Rain Effect," a new Mnet reality show about the singer's life, Rain disclosed a quirky habit he had during his mandatory service to Lee Hyori, backstage at last month's Mnet Asian Music Awards.

After an extended embrace, the two old friends swapped stories, leading to Rain's reveal that he had woken up the other Promotional Support Brigade army recruits every morning with the IU song "You & I."

"I even memorized IU's dance moves," said Rain, demonstrating the choreography.

According to Hyori and DJ DOC member Lee Haneul, Rain turned IU's dance into something more lurid.

"That's too sexy," Haneul said after rain demonstrated his IU moves.

"Now that I think of it, that move is suggestive. I didn't realize it when IU did it, but you made the dance dirty," Hyori joked.

All eligible males between the ages of 18 and 35 must enroll for roughly two years of army service in South Korea (the length of mandatory enrollment changes by several months depending on which branch of the military that they serve in).

Rain was one of the last army servicemen to serve in the Promotional Support Brigade.

Before the elimination of the program back in July, the nation's pop stars could enroll by submitting their album sales figures and a letter of recommendation.

The program was eliminated after the news program "Scene 21" behaving filmed celebrity recruits from the program behaving illegally after an army-sanctioned concert.

The footage prompted public charges of favoritism for famous soldiers.

According to a press release issued by the "Rain Effect" producers, the reality show is a completely new experience for the veteran performer.

"As Rain is not used to a reality program, viewers will see a new side to him that is very likable," the statement read.

"Although it has been 15 years since his debut, Rain works at everything he does as if he was a new artist, in order to protect his status as a top artist.  This show is sure to make an impression."

And the reality show is just the beginning for the "Speed Racer" star, whose new album is slated for release on Jan. 6.

Rain is currently in the US to shoot the Brian A. Miller action film "The Prince" with Bruce Willis.

1:44
Rain can't seem to get used to the hidden cameras.

1:51
[Rain] : Phew..too many cameras!

Rain looking for a place to change his clothes.

2:13
Rain poking his head out the door.

2:21
This solution is a fudge rushed in to hide himself changing clothes.

2:22
[Rain] : It's driving me frantic!

2:29
[Rain] : :How could they install so many cameras!

2:23
[Rain] : I shouldn't have accepted the offer.
Rain regretting it very much.

2:39
[Rain] : Phew..It seems to me that it is not.

2:44
[Rain] : I regret immensely what I've done. This job is driving me insane.

2:50
[Rain] ; Sarangy (Rain's pet dog No 2), come on!

2:54
[Rain] : Sit down! (to Sarangy) Sit down!

2:57
[Rain] : You're screwing around because I treat you nicely.

3:02
[Rain] : Sit down! Sit down! Please sit down!

3:16

3:18
As soon as Sarangy sees the food, he rushes to it like he is possessed.

3:22
[Rain] : Sit down Sit down!

3:24

3:45
Rain can't find the fridge door.

3:48
He finds that there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator.

3:57~4:03
[Rain] : Hey, Gang-pal!, now I don't have anything to eat. Where are you?

4:05
[Rain] : I see.. I'll hang up.

4:09

4:19
He calls his sister on the telephone.

4:26

4:29
[Rain] : Hana! Why doesn't the TV work?

4:33
[Rain] : Now it is working.

4:39
But, TV still doesn't work.

4:42
[Rain] : Ok, the biggest button on the left?

4:48
[Rain] : The green power is switched on, but TV still doesn't work.

4:50
[Rain] : I have no idea why.

4:52
As Rain just isn't interested in domestic life, he's incapable of doing such a simple task.

5:01
He finally withers on the vine.

5:06
[Rain's friend 'Gwang-min', whose nickname is Gwang-pal] : Hey, Rain.

5:13
[Rain] : Aren't you hungry?
[Gwang-min] : So I've bought some Taco.

5:18
[Rain] : Many cameras have been placed throughout my home.

5:19
'Gwang-min' has been working as an unknown actor for 10 years, and putting aside all his work to go follow Rain is a byproduct of one of Gwang-min's character traits.

5:20
[Gwang-min] : I still get nervous when I am taken by the camera even though I am an actor with ten years' experience. [laughs]

5:25~31
[Gwang-min] : I should pose for the camera naturally.
[Rain] : You know, it’s over the top. Do as you usually do, please.

5:41
[Rain] : I wonder if the reality show is true.

5:44~54
[Gwang-min] : Frankly, it is difficult to just act naturally while the camera rolls.
[Rain] : Like you?

5:55~6:06
[Gwang-min] : I guess I find myself acting in a play in such a situation.
[Rain] : Don't worry, let your feelings be your guide and become abusive, because your swear words will be removed in final editing.

6:09~16
[Gwang-min] : I should have shown my Korean gangster rap.
I have to continue to act professionally to support myself.
[Rain] : Your name has been spelled as an unknown actor with ten years' experience on my mobile.

6:20
[Gwang-min] :That way, I may not receive attention from scouts.

6:21~40
[Rain] : This reality show makes me think I need to share my every movement with fans.

6:41~55
[Gwang-min] : Now you need to throw off the mask of mysterious respectability as a star, and become human again.
[Rain] : Taco is so delicious!

6:58~59
Rain is obsessed with eating!
[Gwang-min] : Mexico-style food is very trendy.

7:03~26
[Rain] : Anyway, I am quite concerned whether....
[Gwang-min] : Me too.
[Rain] : What's your worry?
[Gwang-min] : I worry about you.
[Rain] : Did I do anything wrong?
[Gwang-min] : I should conduct myself properly.
[Rain] : You don't have to even think about meddling in my affairs.
[Gwang-min] : If I make a revealing comment, I cannot tell what may happen in the future.
[Rain] : I don't mind.

7:29~41
[Gwang-min] : [Cutting to other subject], I stoped by Gangnam Station to do my shopping.
[Rain] : What made you decide to go there?
[Gwang-min] : This is the latest thing in mufflers. I got a bargain when I bought it for half price.
[Rain] : You're running me down, [giggling]

7:45~56
[Gwang-min] : We'll have to show how well Koreans perform in Japan.
[Rain] : By the way, when I arrived at the airport after my discharge from the army, I found that there were so many newspaper reporters in and out of it as if they resided there.

7:58
Rain left for Japan on 13 November 2013.

8:09~12
[Rain] : I can’t believe my eyes. I wonder how they could place the cameras inside of the car! 

8:13~25
[Rain] : Hi, boss, it's me. Psy just called and told me that he has some concerns that he’d like to discuss when I'm scheduled abroad.

8:26
Rain is pretty much tied up.

8:27~40
[Rain] : I will be holding concerts in the Japan for the first time in four years, and my tour will feature concerts in about five cities for 15 days.
I'm sure that must be very interesting.

[Rain ] : Ouch! Take it easy!

9:37~49
['Lee Seo-hyun', who is a make-up artist in charge of Rain's make-up and who tries to be all things to him.]
[Rain] : My crew team told me, "It's incredible that it can be located in a place like this." [laughs]
[Lee Seo-hyun] : That's why it is so different.

9:52
[Rain] : Please put on my makeup with great care because I want to look nice.

9:57
It bothers the 32-year-old Rain to think of how he will look at the airport.

10:01
He looking at himself in the mirror with his face nicely made up.

10:08
To the exclusion of his nose, Rain is concealing his face with his collar and glasses after his make-up.

10:13
[Rain] : Let's go!
Gwang-min is sitting in the car already.

10:16~40
[PD] : Rain, your friend Gwang-min is accompanying you to your tour in Japan?
[Rain] : Yes, he will be a helper for me during the tour. We'll help each other.
[Gwang-min] : I try to make time for him despite my busy schedule. [laughs]
[Rain] : He has nothing else to do even in Korea. [laughs]

10:41~55
[Rain] : Gwang-min has been my best friend for over 12 years since we were sophomores in high school.
[Gwang-min] : We first met each other when we were first-year high school students.
[Rain] : We started being good friends when we were sophomores.
[Gwang-min] : That's right.

10:59~11:10
[Gwang-min] : Rain was very popular at the time, but he always stops me from talking back to him, keep bringing up the great reputation he had in his first-year high school days. I've also risen to fame as an actor despite being in the underground film scene. [laughs]

11:11~28
It has been exactly three months since 'Choi Sang-hyun', who is Rain's manager, joined Cube Entertainment. When he needs to talk to his superiors, he inwardly breaks in on them.

[Gwang-min] : I think 'Choi Snag-hyun' has a facial resemblance to actor 'Lee Hee-joon'.
[Rain] : Right! I thought that Choi was a model at first. Isn't he eager to gain a foothold in the job? [laughs]
[Gwang-min] : His job may be a sham. [laughs]

Choi smiles awkwardly for a moment even though he is aware of the fact that the two say that in a jovial manner.

11:30~32
[Rain] : Choi already knows that I'm a little scary.

11:37
Incheon International Airport.

11:39

11:41
[Fans] : Please, have a nice trip and be safe!

11:43
The place is swarming with reporters, all in a great frenzy to get the story.

11:47~50
[A reporter] : What’s the purpose of your visit to Japan?
[Rain] : I'm departing from the country for my concert tour there.

11:56
Rain being mobbed by photographers and fans.

12:10

13:03
The rehearsal reminds people of a real performance.

The Rain Effect camera can't be avoid even in Japan.

13:56~58
[Rain] : Whew! Dad, I am so tired I could die!

14:10
[Rain] : I wonder how many of cameras are placed here.

14:12
Rain still has a hard time adjusting to the cameras.

14:14
[Rain] : Aren't the cameras stashed under the bed?

14:21
[Rain] : This one looks like a camera.

14:33
[Rain] : Wow! There is another one here!

14:35
Rain repeatedly lets out exclamations of surprise at the scene.

14:36
[Rain] : I wonder how many of cameras are placed !

14:40
Rain just wears a vinyl hair cap provided by the hotel.

14:45
The war of nerves between Rain and the cameras seems likely to continue.

14:56
Rain is still washing his face even though the camera is rolling three times faster than before.

15:06
[Rain] : It's important that I wash my face to be a handsome man. hahaha

15:14
Rain blowing his nose.

15:17~22
[Rain] : I dry my face naturally for my skin health, instead of doing it with a towel.

15:25
Cleansing -> moisturizing the face by using a lotion.

15:29
[Rain] : Good!

15:33
Rain is truly a master of acting.

15:36
[Rain] : I'm asking you guys to hold a surprise birthday party for 'Park Kyung-ryul' today.

15:43
It's been 8 years since 'Park Kyung-ryul' became a dance for Rain.

15:45~16:08
[Rain] : Intentionally I'm gonna pick a fight with 'Park', complaining about his dance skills believed to be already obsolete. When it is all done in fun later, he may be more deeply affected by the moment.

16:10
10:00pm

16:14
Rain and the others use hidden cameras to surprise 'Park' on that night.

16:22
[Rain] : Come right in, please.

16:24
The atmosphere around the room is cold unusually.

16:31~17:04
[Rain] : It's just that… I'm very discontented with our present situation where some of you guys seldom do their best during the performance. You have simply become far too slack I’m sorry to say.

17:08~16
[Rain] : I think we don't agree in tone as we used to. I really don't feel like working with you guys anymore in such a condition.

17:19
'Park' never realizes that he is being had.

17:25
[Rain] : Cut it out! [dumping his water bottle unceremoniously on the floor]

17:27
'Park' being startled.

17:34
'Soo-bong', one of the dancers, is putting his heart and soul into acting.

17:37
The hidden camera event is reaching the most interesting part.

17:40
Meanwhile, the others get ready for the birthday party for him.

17:50
[Rain] : 'Soo-bong', 'Kyung-ryl'! Why don't you come inside for a while?

17:54
What is it now?

17:59
They see the room light is off.

18:06
[Rain] : Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~

18:20
The day is 'Park's birthday.

18:38
Don't cry, please!

18:45
A surprise event for the dancer Rain has known for 8 years.

18:52
[Rain] : Please speak the true that you were so nervous! [laughs]

18:57~19:00
Dancers : 'Park' showed up with a disappointed look on his face. [laughs]
The expression on his face was really awkward. [laughs]

19:04
[Park Kyung-ryl] : Actually, I identified with what Rain was saying. [laughs]

19:11
[Rain] ; Happy Birthday!

19:17
'Park Kyung-ryl' has a soft heart, contrary to the tough looks.

Rain and the others making do with ramen for dinner despite his birthday.

19:27

'Park' seems to be out of sorts.

19:36
Rain shopping at a supermarket for the surprise party.

19:39~47
[Rain] : It's been 8 years since I worked with 'Park'.
Everyone, including him, is indispensable to me.

19:49
They are doing their utmost to prepare special food for the birthday party.

19:56
[Rain] : I was a good actor, right?

19:59
[soo-bong] : Your acting was definitely natural. (laughs)

20:02
[Rain] : Happy Birthday!

20:14
[Park Kyung-ryul] : I'm sure Rain will do a wonderful job again, like himself.

20:15~21
[‘Gyu-sang‘, who has been working with Rain for 8 years since he knew Rain when he was Rain's senior in the same junior high school.]
: Rain is always nice to his seniors. I think he was lonely much of the time
because he was really far from home. We're happy with him.

20:22~26
[‘Soo-bong’, who has been working with Rain for 5 years. loves a tan]

20:40

22:05
[Rain] : It's a very nice view. [gazing out the window]

22:22
Rain ordering food in Japanese.

22:43~48[Manager] : Caesar salad, please.

23ᜡ~25
[Rain]: I don't like to do exercise. I really hate doing exercise .
It's a bitter pill to swallow, but I'll try.

23:30
Rain stays physically fit anywhere, at any time.

23:40
Let me tell you, Rain's gorgeous figure has not been made in one day.

23:50
[Rain] : He is my amazing security team.

23:59
[Rain] : Phew..

24:02
Rain's character may be warped if he keeps exercising.

24:05

25:42
[Park Hye-jung, who is a stylist in charge of Rain's costume. She treats him as an ordinary person]

25:52~26:02
[Rain]: 'Park Hye-jung' and I have been friends for 10 years. She always treats me as a friend even though I behaves rudely sometimes. Right?
[Park Hye-jung] : Yes, you're right. [with a bad grace]

26:05
[Rain] : We should identify a strong costume concept for my 6th album.

26:10
[Rain] : We should look for a concept that can make me look sexier without exposing my body.

26:15
[Rain] : If there is a reversal in concept, so much the better.

26:19~26:25
[Rain] : Under such a concept, I can look sexier, more cute, and more romantic on the stage.

26:24~28
[Rain] : If we go around shopping parades hunting for items, we can find what we want.

26:30[Rain] : Manager, what kind of clothes do you think I should wear?

26:38
[Manager] : I think it might be better if you take your top off. [laughs]

26:42
[Manager] : Maybe that's why you currently concentrate on giving your upper body a workout. [laughs]

26:42~51
[Rain] : The reason for doing so is to stay fit. You mistake me for the man who develops chest muscles. (laughs)

26:54~27:01
[Manager] : You told me that your strength isn't what it used to be, so I think you do so to show that you are still physically strong.
[Rain] : It's your logic. I have my own logic.

27:07~33
[Rain] : Are you hungry? [to Kwang-min)
[Gwang-min) : Yes, I haven't eaten and feel very hungry. Let's get something to eat.
[Rain] : I'm not a mother bird who feeds her young.
[Gwang-min] : My wallet's fat, so I'll foot the bill. How about getting something to eat at a high-class restaurant, the price of which is over 700 yen.
[Rain ]: Do you seriously mean what you say?
[Gwang-min] : Of course. A loaf of bread is better than the song of many birds.
[Rain ]: All right, if you say so.

27:34
[Rain] : We should take care of the costume concept first thing because it is the most important thing as of now.

27:41
At a shopping mall in Fukuoka's Hakata.

27:49
Rain's words and actions are different. He is already looking at the menu.
Rain confirms the location of the restaurant as soon as he arrives at the shopping mall.

27:52
[Rain]: Let's find clothes to match the concept after taking a meal.

28:02
Smelling the foods makes them stop walking.

28:09
[Rain] : I have to lose my weight.
28:13
[Rain] : I am the man who has money in his wallet. [pulling out some money from his wallet to pay for something to eat.]

28:15
[Kwang-min) : I'll get the bill. Please don't do this.

28:21
The delicious-looking Dakoyaki.

28:28
[Gwang-min) : I've bought a lot of Dakoyaki. Let's eat them together!

28:32
[Rain] : Hye-jung, try it.

28:37
[Rain] : Is it hot?

28:45~52
[Rain] : It is very very hot! How did you eat it?
[Gwang-min) : The owner told me that the food is really hot, so we should blow on it as we eat. I was going to mention it, but it slipped my mind.
[Rain] : You should have told me that!

28:55
[Rain] : My tongue is hurt.

28:59
Let's eat first, whatever may happen afterwards.

29:07~
[Rain] : I like this food. [pointing to the menu]

29:15
Rain is looking for other menus even before chewing and swallowing the dakoyaki.

29:21~24
[Rain] ; Gwang-min, this is the restaurant specializing in omelet rice you were talking about.
[Gwang-min]: It's probably delicious.

29:25
[PD] : I've never seen such an intense look on Rain's face since I saw him shooting a film on the studio lot.

29:31
[Rain] : How should I say it? umm..I have a fetish about something to eat.

29:37~41
[Rain] : I'd like to recommend this food to you, Gwang-min.[pointing with his finger] How about going into the restaurant? We have to choose what to eat before going inside.

29:45
[Rain] : Decide quickly.

29:49
The food Rain decided on is udon [noodles], and the one Kwang-min decided on is omelet rice.

29:52
[Gwang-min]: I hope the food is nice.
I am worrying because Jihoony [Rain] may feel bad again if the food isn't pleasant to his taste.

29:57
[Gwang-min]: Let's go into the restaurant specializing in omelet rice over there.

30:01
They abide by Gwang-min's decision.

30:05~10
[Rain] : Recently I've cooked food myself. I think I have the right touch about cooking.

30:11~16
[Gwang-min]: Rain's Jjigae [stew] tasted so good.
[Rain] : Didn't it?

30:17
What the two said has not been confirmed yet.

30:19~22
[Gwang-min]: Rain's Kimchijjigae was much better than my mom's. [laughs]
I was very surprised.

30:24
[Gwang-min]: That is why I was angry with her.[laughs]

30:29
They are treated with the food [omelet rice ] chosen after much consideration.

30:37
Rain reacts with a mysterious smile when he takes a bite of the food.

30:46~51
[Rain]: Is it delicious? hey?

Gwang-min pretends that he didn't heard.

30:53~59
[Gwang-min] : There is a famous restaurant of the name of 'Younhee's Omelet Rice' widely known for its delicious omelet rice in Daehakro, Seoul. [laughs]

30:01
Rain thinks to himself, "We should have ordered noddle"

30:03
They drive from Hakata to Tenjin.

31:06
Their objective in doing market research is to decide upon which costume concept they should choose for Rain's new album.

31:13
Rain browses clothes in stores diligently.

31:18
[Rain] : How do I look? Not bad?

31:21~30
[Rain]: Vintage-style clothes are sold here. Street brand or something.
They only specialize in vintage clothes. I think you guys should see them.

31:32
The shop is overflowing with colorful clothes and a wide variety of props.

31:36
[Rain] : The concept for my new album this time is based on a singing beggar. [laughs]

31:42~50
[Kim Hye-jung] : These clothes need mending to apply them to the concept.

31:52~53
[Rain] : If you pick out the most probable ones, I'll choose some good clothes among them. Then, let me try on those ones.

41:57
'Kim Hye-jung' is picking out some clothes for the concept.

32:04
[Rain] : The title track from my new album will be an exciting song with some visual effects.

32:06~15
[Kim Hye-jung] : The song is like upbeat sound of samulnori that heightens excitement for people. The vintage concept is so good.

32:19
The concept seems to be open to the public beforehand [or it is not]

32:22~25
[Rain] : It seems to me that it is not.
[Kim Hye-jung] : Why?

32:32
[Rain] : This is not what I asked for, I'm afraid.

32:46~50
[Kim Hye-jung] : You look great.
[Rain] : What?

[Kim Hye-jung] : Don't you think?
[Rain] : You certainly are a poor judge of value.

32:55~33:00
[Kim Hye-jung] : You can think like that, but I like clothes of this style.
[Rain] : Alright, Okay.

33:03~06
[seon-hwa] : So they are not yet finalized, aren't they?
It is only to get a sense of what he might look like.

33:10~15
[Rain] : They seem about right to me, but they don't have one in my size.
I like them a lot. That's what I'd hoped for, and it feels good to look like a beggar. [laughs]

33:25
Is Rain looking to find a gift for his sister?

33:27~34
[Rain] : Hey, just try it on for size. [ to Kim Hye-jung]
[Kim Hye-jung] : I have no idea why he does it.

33:39~48
[Rain] : You look good. I want you to have it. It is a birthday gift from me.
[Kim Hye-jung] : Do you really think I look nice in it?
[Rain] : I'll say. Try out the clothes in front of the mirror.

33:50
She is pleased with his gift.

33:53~56
[Rain] : I'm sorry that I missed her birthday. Now I've come to give her a present.

34:00
There is one man posing in front of a mirror in his new clothes.

34:03
[Gwang-min] : Maybe Jinhooy will buy this one to me.

34:08
[Gwang-min] : This one appeals to me.

34:16
[Gwang-min] : How is this one? [to Rain]

34:18
[Rain] : Put it back where you found it [laughs]

34:25
[Gwang-min] : The game is up. [laughs]

34:29~32
[Rain] : This outfit seems too thin. [touching what Gwang-min wearing]
He needs clothes that are wearable for the midwinter.

34:35
[Gwang-min] : I can wear many layers of clothing. [laughs]

34:09
Gwang-min is still anticipating being able to convince Rain.

34:40~43
[Gwang-min] : Do you want me to put it back where I found it?
[Rain] : Yes. [laughs] Tact is never his strength.

34:46
[Rain] : Although he knows about the situation where we are busy with work..

34:56~35:04
[Gwang-min] : I think I'll be back tomorrow and persuade to change his mind again. This is what I want. Good-bye. [kissing the clothes goodbye]

35:06
[Gwang-min] : See you tomorrow. (to the clothes)

35:17
Rain is being taken by the camera.

35:18
Rain and his staffs travel from Fukuoka to Osaka by Shinkansen.

35:20
[Rain] : I wan to travel by train at some future day.

35:27~30
[Rain] : Travel by train is more convenient than others when I have a concert tour.

35:31~37
[Rain] : Are you taking a picture of me? [ to the manager]
[Manager] : No, I'm not.
[Rain] : Please don't do dare!
[Manager] : I had my picture taken by myself.
[Rain] : Oh, you did?

35:41
[Rain] : You do look a sight! [watching him having his picture taken by himself] [laughs]

35:45~50
[Gwang-min] : You look tired, I think. Let's get to sleep. [to Rain]

They were very tired with their hard works, so they were able to go to rest easily.

35:55
Rain falls again.

36:00
Osaka in Japan.

36:05
The second day of his concert tour : on November 22, 2013.

36:08
Rain clears his throat before the performance.

25:13~21
[Kim Hye-jung] : There is a report about your performance to be presented at MAMA and new album on the newspaper. [to Rain]
[Rain] : That's what you were saying?

36:25
[Rain] : No one can keep a secret.

36:29~33
[Rain] : Originally I was going to let preparations for MAMA be made under a cloak of secrecy.

36:35
Japanese fans pouring into the concert hall to see Rain's performances.

36:40
Fans filling up the concert hall.

36:46
Rain has a perfect figure that makes people happy.

36:57~37:07
[Rain] : Today is the 6th day of the tour. Please reserve yourself for later, and be careful not to hurt yourself! Let us all do our best again today. One two three, fighting!

37:11
They are quite ready now.

37:23
[Rain] : Everyone, how have you been? Long time no see.

37:32
Rain having a fantastic performance for his fans who have been waiting for him for a long time.

37:43
Rain stirs the fans to feel as one by performing passionately on the stage.

37:57
The hall is a seething cauldron of emotion.

38:04
The shows are all finished in Osaka.

38:07
[Rain] : I'm exhausted. Please don't touch me for 5 minutes.

38:13
[Rain] : In my 30s, I find I've lost some of my stamina. I get more tired day by day.

38:19
[Rain] : Hey. Gwang-pal [Gwang-min], suddenly I feel weak as a kitten.

38:22~27
[Gwang-min]: You were seen performing harder on the bigger stage than on yesterday's one. No wonder you have been exhausted.

38:28
[Rain] : The very thought of performing at MAMA makes me sick.

38:37
[Gwang-min]: If you keep feeling so anxious, you cannot sleep even at night. [to Rain]

38:40
[Rain] : I think I am unable to sleep because I have to form an idea of the main plot for my performance at MAMA scheduled for tomorrow.

38:43
[Rain] : Now I am out of practice.

38:43~48
[Gwang-min]: Haven't you got the plan of the stage management in your mind beforehand?
[Rain] : I had no time to prepare. I have to cram for it.

38:51
Kansai International Airport at 1:00am on November 22, 2013.

38:57
Rain leaving for Hong Kong right after finishing his concert.

39:02
His fans came to see him off at the airport late at night.

39:12
[Fans]: Fighting!

39:23
[Dancer] : I think you've been storing a lot of music in your mobile entirely on your own. [to Rain]

39:98
Suddenly, dancers are taking pictures of something.

39:31
Rain's body is swaying in time with the music.

39:33
[Rain] : Nobody has heard the music but us.

39:47
That's the Rain Effect!

39:57~59
[Rain]: I'm trying to close our meeting quickly. Please gather here!

40:02~15
[Rain] : I'll go up by using wires during the performance [looking at the monitor sent from the MAMA producers]
We have no time to practice, but we have the ability to give such a performance extemporaneously.

40:20~44
[Rain] : Our first priority is to remain cool, but something is still wanting.
I hope you guys can come up with a better idea than this. After concluding the prepared motion, we'll be finished for the day.

40:48
Finally, they are departing for Hong Kong.

40:58
Dancers go to rest easily, but Rain can't sleep because of things facing him along with his manager.

41:04
Rain working fastidiously.

41:09
Rain is really busy working on come up with a concept for the MAMA performance all night. He is a real workaholic.

41:15
They arrived in Hong Kong at 4:30am on November 22, 2013.

41:17~41:30
[Rain] : Rain is saying to his manager in Chinese, "Ni Shipaloma!" [laughs]
[Mamager] : Haha. Weird pronunciation!
[Rain] : "Ni Shipaloma" means "Have you had a meal?" in Chinese. [Phonetically, it means "Damn you" in Korean]

41:32
[Rain] : It seems odd to you?
[Mamager] : Jihoony hyung [Rain], "Ni Shipaloma!" [laughs]

41:42
[Rain] : Don't say that word in Chinese again. [laughs]

41:51
Manager's nose is all stuffed up.

41ᝀ
[Rain] : Now I have a nasal decongestant spray. Do you want me to give it to you?
[Manager] : No, thank you. I can stand this much pain.

41ᝂ~59
[Manager] : I like it as it is now.
[Rain] : Really? Are you a pervert? [laughs]

42:02
It is raining without a break in Hong Kong.

42:03
[Manager] : It's raining again. [laughs]

42:07
Wherever he goes, Rain brings rain to the region.

42:12
Rain who has been up all night, arrives at the MAMA venue.

42:23
At the MAMA rehearsal, about 10 hours before the event.

42:28
[Producer 'Han Dong-cheol'] : Keeping dangling on the wires is not such an easy undertaking. It may be extremely dangerous.

42:36~41
[Rain]: Regardless of how hard the work may be, I'll do it.

42:44
But there are potential problems.

42:48
Even if it's the last thing, Rain wants to do it.

42:52
Rain checking all the equipment.

42:59
[Rain] : Aren't you able to carry on the work faster?

43:03
The wire speed is much slower than he thought.

43:11
[Rain]; I think I have to dangle on the wires alone to lighten them.

43:15
[Producer] : I'll try making things work.

43:23~37
[Rain] : Let me give it a try. Clearly, there has to be a surprising scene while I dangle on the wires.

43᜴
Rain and the producers understood how dangerous that was, after he tried it himself.

43ᝀ
Rain is torn.

44:02~31
[Rain] : I dangle on the wires with my legs apart and doesn't look good.
Besides, the disadvantages of the plan far outweighs the advantages in many ways.
There is no choice but to abandon this plan. I'll give a different performance as a substitute for it.

44:32
[Rain] : I know you guys are too tired, but we have to do our best to the very end. (to dancers)

44:38
Rain begin rehearsing according to the changed choreography.

44:43
[Rain] : One moment, please.

44:45
[Rain]: When you guys appear on the stage, I want you to walk stylishly. (to dancers)

44:52
[Rain] : I'd like you to focus on that.

44:59
They are busy practicing according to the quickly changed choreography.

45:08
They go through a final camera rehearsal.

45:25
Rain and dancers work in perfect harmony.

45:34
[Rain] : I would like to thank everyone.

45:39
Rain is gratified with the result.

45:43
Rain and dancers leave for their hotel to prepare for the performance.

45:51
[Rain] : I am to perform without any wire. [to 'Park Yong-bok', a director of Cube Entertainment]

45:54~58
[Park Yong-bok] : Your performance at the rehearsal was great.
[Rain] : I'll do good work tomorrow. Ah! I'm to do today, not tomorrow.[laughs]

46:05~15
[Rain]; It's incredible that they do such things by working through the night.
Korean people really have guts! I only slept for about 2 hours.

46:17
[Rain] : Let's not keep in touch with each other for about 5-6 hours. [laughs]

46:27
[Park Yong-bok] : Alright. Ok.

46:30~31
[Rain] : And, you should turn off your phone. [laughs]
[Park Yong-bok] : I can't do that. [laughs]

46:34
2 hours before MAMA.

46:37
MAMA is a big festival for musicians.

46:42
1 hour before MAMA

46:47
Rain is really glad to see singers 'Lee Hyo-ri' and 'Lee Ha-neul' again after all these years.

46᜽
[Rain] : It's been ages! What have you been up to?

46:55
[Lee Ha-neul] : Adultery! Adultery! [laughs][He meant it for a joke]
[Rain and 'Lee Hyo-ri' put their arms around each other and hugged / Not long after 'Lee Hyo-ri' was married]

46:58
[Lee Hyo-ri'] : Don't mess with me, Jihoon [Rain]. [suddenly being strong for Lee Ha-neul] [laughs]

47:02
[Lee Ha-neul] : You two's actions can be easily misunderstood. [laughs]
[Rain] : I know what you mean.[laughs]

47:05
[Lee Ha-neul] : Can I intrude myself into the conversation of the two top stars? [laughs]
[Rain] : Please, come on.

47:07
The two do not beat around the bush, embarrassing Rain.

Park Jin Young Talks About His First Impression of Rain
December 21, 2013

rain_jyoung.jpg

Singer Park Jin Young recently talked about his first impression of Rain at his national tour concert, “Bad Party: The Halftime Show” on December 20.

Before introducing “Instead of Saying Goodbye,” which he wrote for Rain, he talked about how he first met the singer through the request of someone to watch Rain’s audition. “I was told he (Rain) had gotten rejected at 16 other auditions, and when he came in through the door, he looked like a starving lion. He looked so exhausted, but I could see a lion in his eyes, just full of his pride and dreams. He was someone who wanted desperately to be a singer, but his pride wouldn’t let him beg and plead.” 

Park Jin Young’s “Bad Party” is his annual brand concert that started in 2007, and this year celebrated his 19th year since his debut.

Park Jin Young will be performing in Seoul until December 22, after which he will hit Daegu, Pusan, and Incheon on December 24, 25, and 31, respectively.

[22-Dec-13][starNews]Rain came back from the US yesterday. He'll concentrate on his singing career.

Dec. 22, 2013


mn%281%29.jpg

 

 

 

Singer Rain (his real name, Jung Ji-hoon) has been back home in Korea after completing a new hollywood film titled "The Prince".

 

According to his agency CubeDC on the 22nd, Rain who left for Atlanta to shoot the movie last week, arrived in Seoul at around 5:15pm on December 21 landing at Incheon International Airport. It is his second visit to the US, aimed to film "The Prince" since his first visit earlier this month.

 

Prior to this, Rain worked with the movie's leading actor 'Bruce Willis' on the 30th of last month, staying in LA, Atlanta, etc. Reportedly, this time he got set to team with other famous actors.

 

'The Prince' is Rain's first new hollywood film since he starred in Ninja Assassin in 2009. He gets set to team with Bruce Willis, John Cusack, etc. In the film, Rain plays the role of cool-headed and intrepid 'Mark'.

 

An official with his agency told Star News today, "Rain's whole schedule for filming has been finished. There aren't many scenes where he appears in the movie and he is combining both movie shooting and preparation for his new album. Because of these circumstances, he accomplished his work on the film in short bursts."

 

Again Rain has been set to work on his new album due out next January 6 since he was back in Korea after finishing shooting the movie.

 

After three years and nine months of releasing his album 'Back To The Basic' in April, 2010, Rain will be back with his new album next January 6. His song 'Busan Woman' published at his last concert in 2011 before his enlistment was just an event song for his fans.

 

Participating in almost every aspect of his new album, Rain has finished shooting a music video for the title track from the album and recording most of the songs including the title track from it.

 

The official added, "Rain has been working intensively soon after his homecoming, giving himself up to the preparation for the album. Under ordinary conditions, he'll only be absorbed in rehearsing for his comeback to the domestic stage."

 

Meanwhile, Rain has opened the preparation process for his comeback to the stage in Mnet's reality show 'Rain Effect' series since its first episode aired on December 19th.

[22-Dec-13][Dramabeans]Variety Roulette: Rain Effect

Posted by memo-rain on December 23, 2013


rain1-00002a.jpg

I totally wasn’t intending to write up the brand-new reality show Rain Effect, but I fired up the first episode out of curiosity and immediately got sucked into its fun, funny vibe. (Trust me, I wasn’t looking for another thing to recap!) It’s been a while since we’ve done a Variety Roulette; nothing like a little Rain to merit a comeback.

These kinds of reality-docu shows aren’t by any means new, but it’s not often you get one with a star as big as Rain. (And I’m sure I’m not the only one who had a brief flash to the Jeon Ji-hyun character doing one in the newly premiered drama You From Another Star.) True, he hasn’t been as big in recent years as he once was at the height of his pop-star fame (the mid-2000s were SO all about Rain), even if you factor for his two-year army-duty absence, but he’s certainly achieved enough to have solidified his place as a lasting star in the K-pop firmament.

(Also: watching Rain Effect reminded me of my own crush on Rain back in ye olden days of Hallyu—and while pop-star crushes eventually fade, I’ll never forget that giddiness that having one brought. It’s really those little joys in life that make fandoms so worth it—not the star him/herself, but what they make you feel and how they recall a specific time of life. I’ll always have a soft spot for Rain.)

Rain Effect airs on Thursday nights on Mnet. I’m not entirely sure how many episodes are planned in total—if you know, please let me know in the comments!

SONG OF THE DAY

Rain – “How to Escape the Sun” 

EPISODE 1: “Do You Know Rain?”

rain1-00004a.jpg

We open with concert footage and the information that Rain, aka Bi, aka Jung Ji-hoon, is returning after 1,326 days—he’s done his mandatory military service and is now making his comeback with a new album in the works and concert tours—and is doing this program to show the untold story.

It’s an intro told with dramatic flair and promising Big Things, which is why I’m so pleasantly surprised when we begin the show proper to a much funnier vibe—it’s the Rain you’ve never seen before, but that’s because he’s never let the cameras show him being so normal before. You know, if by normal we mean unable to use household electronics and having difficulty feeding himself.

rain1-00018.jpg

rain1-00021.jpg

So. It’s November 12, 2013, and Rain arrives at his house and acquaints himself with all the cameras that have been mounted for this show. He’s still awkward in front of them, and goes around the house noting each one, and as happens with these kind of reality shows, he laughs incredulously when he has the moment of realization about what he’s actually gotten himself into.

He resorts to hiding behind an open door to change his pants, after first checking from multiple angles that he’s safe. We see him crouching in the corner, shaking his head: “This is nuts.” He wonders if it was a mistake to do this show, while the caption tells us: “Currently flooded with regrets.”

rain1-00026.jpg

rain1-00035.jpg

He’s got two dogs that welcome him home, the hilariously named General (aka Janggoonie, the tiny tiny dog) and the poodle Sarangie (or Lovey, the much larger dog). He tries to get Sarangie to sit on command, which doesn’t work at all, and at one point he’s crouching over the dog’s hindquarters to force it to sit for its food. The dog gets its food despite its dubious sit-on-command skills, and then it’s time for Rain to rummage in his fridge for people food, to no avail.

He calls his buddy Kwang-min to bring some food, then struggles with the remote control to turn on the TV. He has to call his little sister for help, saying stuff like “Where’s the button? The green light’s on but the screen won’t show anything,” sounding like somebody three times his age trying to wrap his head around all that newfangled gadgetry. The caption helpfully points out: “The world star who can’t turn on his TV.” He fiddles with the remote a little more, and then: “Ultimately, fails to turn on TV.”

rain1-00040.jpg

rain1-00047.jpg

Kwang-min arrives with tacos, and as a struggling actor himself, he’s sorta working his way in the industry on his own, but also sorta part of Rain’s entourage. I really enjoy the inclusion of Kwang-min because he offers up a counter for Rain as the other end of the celebrity spectrum (as in, he’s not one); also, because they’ve been friends for a dozen years, they’re also very comfortable together and chat in banmal.

They have this amusingly meta conversation about how hard it is to be natural in front of the cameras, and how even in this moment they’re trying to be normal, but finding it difficult. You can see Kwang-min putting on this air of trying to be cooler than he is, which is both secondhand-embarrassing and really entertaining. (Rain can see it too, and just has to shake his head. “Go ahead and swear like you normally do,” he says. “I’ll have them bleep it out.” Instead, Kwang-min half-talks like he’s prepping for a stage play.)

rain1-00058.jpg

rain1-00065.jpg

The next day is when Rain heads to Japan for a 15-day, 5-city tour. His first point of concern? Airport fashion. Lol. Though to a star, it’s probably as much a stress as it is a thrill, and as Rain notes, in the two years he’s been away the airport has become a total paparazzi feeding ground.

Rain pulls up to a total hole-in-the-wall type of salon, and the next thing you know the world star is crouching in a bathroom getting his hair shampooed while water runs over his bare feet into a drain in the floor. Haha. Totally not the chic, uppity type of Gangnam establishment you’d expect him to visit. Apparently even the PDs were surprised.

The stylists do a good job—Rain looks like he could’ve just stepped out of the house dressed casually, as though this is how he looks all the time, only the best version of that. You know, with that sprinkled-with-fairy-dust aura that seems to hover around big stars. (Apparently there’s just a ton of effort put into looking like you put no effort into it.)

rain1-00080.jpg

Kwang-min’s in the car heading to the airport, and jokes with the PD about clearing his super-busy work schedule to accompany Rain on tour. Rain just laughs, “He’d have nothing to do in Korea anyway.” They’re asked about their long friendship, and start talking over each other with their own version of events. (Kwang-min calls Rain Ji-hoonie, which is entirely natural given their long acquaintance but also really cute.)

Sure enough, it’s a total fashion show at the airport. A round-up of the ensuing articles in the press show Rain being described with words like “luxury” and “charisma”—all in all, a successful airport fashion experience. In the plane, Rain makes faces at the camera mounted in front of his face, while the caption notes, “Plays well alone.”

rain1-00083.jpg

rain1-00088.jpg

The next day begins his “Story of Rain” tour in Nagoya. Then it’s off to Fukuoka, then Osaka, and last is Tokyo.

He has a rehearsal at the arena, and hearing him do his run-through reminds me of one of the reasons I’d loved Rain so much, which was how good he is at singing live. I’d never call him the strongest vocalist, but he does have great live singing skills, which isn’t so true of singers who have as much emphasis on dancing as he does.

There are cameras throughout Rain’s hotel room in Fukuoka (and even in the hotel hallways), and he goes around checking each one’s placement. I love the boyish vibe that’s emerging as he goes on his camera hunt; the cameras are there, may as well have some fun acknowledging them.

rain1-00116.jpg

In the evening, he has a meeting with the PDs to discuss the birthday of one of his dancers, Kyung-ryul, who’s been with him for eight years and has been in his videos. He explains his birthday surprise, which entails getting angry at Kyung-ryul hyung for doing a crappy job and saying he doesn’t want to work with him anymore. OMO. The PD’s all, “That seems too harsh,” but Rain is practically giggling, saying that he spent the whole train ride thinking up ideas of how to make an impact.

So late that night, the dancers arrive in Rain’s room, and he begins the fakeout. And oh man, he punks them so hard. It’s awesome because you know it’s gonna reverse in just another minute, but also chilling because I’ve almost forgotten that Rain can be a really convincing actor and he’s totally sticking to this role—none of that over-the-top hamminess or wink-wink at the audience. Just stone face.

rain1-00132.jpg

rain1-00130.jpg

He sits down his crew and starts in on how he saw concert footage and was terribly disappointed in how half-assed and out of sync they were, and how their dancing has lost the feel it used to have.

The birthday hyung sits there looking like he might cry while Rain goes on in his stern boss voice, “We don’t have to work together anymore, you know.” Acting like he’s fed up, Rain gets up angrily saying, “Fine, let’s not” and stomps out, flinging the door shut. Eeeek. A moment later he comes back to call the birthday hyung over, and the guy gets up with trepidation.

rain1-00145.jpg

rain1-00143.jpg

The moment the dancers enter the other room, Rain giddily sings Happy Birthday at them, and I’m pretty sure there may be tears, and maybe some pants nearly peed. Man, that was a hard punking. Rain asks, “Was I scary? You were scared, weren’t you?” Dude, I was kinda scared and I knew it was fake.

Caption: Jung Ji-hoon, taking off Rain persona

Now we’re on the morning of November 18. Rain’s manager wakes him up, and the first thing he wants is breakfast. Pancakes and bacon and coffee and just a lot of food for first thing in the morning. His manager first orders in English, and I’m thinking he’s doing a decent job at it but Rain doesn’t agree, so he takes over and starts ordering in Japanese.

rain1-00177.jpg

Afterward, it’s off to the hotel gym, and Rain admits hating to work out: “I just have to do it.” Man, I wish that weren’t a true statement. He sweats through his workout, and the caption reminds us: “This body doesn’t make itself.”

At one point, all the effort sets Rain off swearing and he gripes, “I wish there were a pill you could take for your body so you didn’t have to work out!” I hear you. Hey, I’m not saying we’re made for each other, but like minds are important in a committed relationship, I’m just sayin’.

Then it’s nighttime, and fans pile into the arena for his concert. We zoom through it, resuming the next day as Rain heads off to go shopping with his team, which includes his stylist. I enjoy how the show has zeroed in on everyone’s special traits, like the manager who “still manages to say everything he wants to say” and the stylist who “thinks of Rain as an ordinary person.”

rain1-00210.jpg

In the car ride, Rain tosses out ideas for his next album, wanting to find an angle that’s sexy without being too nekkid, or has a twist of some sort. That’s what he’ll be shopping for on their excursion today, and he asks his manager what kind of clothes he should wear. Manager: “Shirtless!” They crack up, and the manager adds, “Isn’t that why you’ve been working out your pecs lately?” Rain protests that he’s just maintaining his figure, not building it up.

Buddy Kwang-min hasn’t eaten yet and wants to grab a bite, and Rain calls himself a mama bird to be feeding him all the time. So Kwang-min offers to treat today… as much as seven dollars’ worth of food, LOL.

In the car, Rain outlines clothes as the priority, but upon arrival at the mall he beelines for a cafe menu. Heh. He drools over some takoyaki (while bemoaning his need to lose some weight) and Kwang-min buys, as promised. Of course, even as they’re chowing down, they’re also looking at sushi menus for their actual lunch. Rain admits to having a food obsession, which I’m sure I’ve heard before about him.

The food comes, and Rain takes one bite of his omurice and knows it’s not good. He asks Kwang-min if his is good, and Kwang-min (who insisted on omurice over Rain’s choice, udon) has to smile sheepishly because he can’t defend his choice.

On to clothes shopping. They drop in on a number of shops, and come to a vintage street clothing store where Rain lets his stylist choose what he’ll wear. From behind the dressing curtain, we hear him sighing, “I don’t think so. This seems wrong.”

Out he comes, and HAHA. On the one hand there’s vintage, and on the other there’s the revival of the Fresh Prince. Ah, the tattered patchwork jeans, the flannel shirt tied around the waist, the early nineties. His stylist really likes it, going for a “rags” concept that I’m not sure I buy. I’m also not sure if Rain actually lets her convince him it’s a good idea or if he’s being deadpan, but he ends up nodding, “It’s a good idea. Like a beggar.”

He picks out a jacket for her as a birthday gift, which she likes… and then Kwang-min puts on a jacket and says, “I wonder if Ji-hoonie will buy this for me.” HA. He tries to build up to the request smoothly, asking Ji-hoonie for his opinion, and Ji-hoonie says immediately, “Put it back.”

Kwang-min figures that Rain won’t budge but still tries anyway, making the longest, most reluctant production of putting the jacket back. “You really think I should put it back? Okay, I’ll put it back. I’m putting it back now!” He tells his VJ that he’ll have to come back tomorrow and try again, lol. He gives the jacket a kiss and tells it to wait for him.

The next leg of the tour takes them to Osaka via train. As Rain warms up for his show, his staffer notifies him that news leaked of his MAMA appearance and his upcoming album, and he sighs in disappointment: “You can’t keep anything secret.”

So he gives a lively performance, and after the show we see Rain lying on the floor of his dressing room, groaning, “Just let me be like this for five minutes.” Aw, is the old man feeling the effects of aging? He says the ole body’s not the same after hitting thirty and wonders why he’s so dizzy and tired today (uh, you just answered your own question). He sighs, “Thinking of doing MAMA tomorrow makes me want to cry.”

So that night he flies to Hong Kong, and while riding the shuttle bus, he and his team start listening to music and bopping along to the dance. He hasn’t had time to work out his MAMA performance yet, but the producers of the show have sent videos of the stage and the wire work they’ve planned for his number. They don’t have the time to choreograph a group number, so they’ll all go freestyle, they decide.

His dancers pass out in the plane, and Rain stays up working on preparations. Eek, are you actually going to perform on no sleep? They arrive at the venue in Hong Kong, where the producers outline the dangers of their wire stunt and run through the mechanics. Rain isn’t happy with how slow the wire-lifting is, and the team tries to think up some last-minute workarounds to give the performance that cool factor it’s lacking.

I find it rather fascinating watching him in action, because you can definitely see how Rain got to be the star he is—it’s not just being a good performer or having a marketable image, it’s also knowing exactly who he is and having the confidence to know he has to deliver to his highest level. He’s decisive and passionate, and in this he actually reminds me a lot of his mentor/hyung JYP. It’s not so much that he has a specific, concrete idea in his head of coolness that he has to execute. It’s more that he has an inner barometer telling him what does and doesn’t make it to that level, and if something isn’t cutting it, he’ll work at it until it does.

By this point Rain has been awake and traveling for so long that he’s rather disoriented, and you sort of think he’s going on sheer concentration and adrenaline. After the rehearsal he’s pleased with the plan for tomorrow’s performance, and has to be corrected: “The show’s today!”

Then we zip ahead to that night as stars begin arriving at MAMA, and Rain pops in to visit old friends: Hyori and Lee Haneul. He and Hyori hug, and Haneul jokes, “Adultery!” (Since she’s married now.) She teases that he can’t just bee all handsy with her now, and then they sit down to chat.

Hahaha, Rain admits that he has no idea who any of the new idol groups are anymore, and Hyori retorts, “You know all the girl groups.” He sheepishly admits that yes, he did acquaint himself with all the girl groups’ names while watching TV in the army, where their wake-up call song was IU: “I even learned her dance.”

It’s the hand-grabby motion from IU’s “You and I,” which leads to a quip about it being way too risque, lol. Hyori cracks up, saying, “I didn’t realize when IU was doing it, but now that you’re doing it, it looks dirty.” Mmm, Rain dirty…

With that we end, with promises of a brain meltdown moment for Rain in next week’s episode, along with some cursing and revealing disclosures from Haneul and Hyori. And is that… Rain cleaning up dog poop? I dunno about you all, but I’m definitely watching.
