[24-Dec-13][soompi]Rain’s Military Investigation Over, Case Dismissed

Posted by memo-rain on December 24, 2013


soompi.jpg?width=750


The investigation by the prosecutor’s office for violation of military rules against singer Rain has finally ended.

According to a source in the law field, the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office has dismissed the case against Rain, following accusations that he had violated the military code of conduct while in active service.

The ordinary citizen who had lodged the complaint against Rain had claimed that Rain took frequent leave from service as a celebrity soldier, and that he had violated military code. He had demanded criminal punishment for the singer. The Gangnam police station had forwarded the case to the public prosecutor’s office.

Rain had previously received seven days of probation for violation of military rules. He had faced a military disciplinary committee in January of this year for frequent outings and nights out; he had also been captured on dates with actress Kim Tae Hee in uniform but without his military cap, thereby violating service regulations.

His agency, Cube Entertainment, stated, “We were notified that the case had been dismissed on December 12. Rain’s comeback will be carried out as planned.”

Rain appeared at the Mnet Asian Music Awards this year, and currently has his own reality show on Mnet, “Rain Effect,” which will show what goes on behind the scenes as he prepares for his impending comeback.

[24-Dec-13][allkpop]Rain cleared of suspicion for allegedly violating regulations while on duty as a celebrity recruit

Posted by memo-rain on December 24, 2013

ll.jpg?width=750

Rain was cleared of suspicion by prosecution for the allegations of him violating military service regulations while on duty as a celebrity recruit.


As previously reported, a citizen filed a formal complaint against Rain to the Seoul Central Prosecutor's Office back in November for allegedly violating military service regulations and taking frequent vacations while serving as a celebrity recruit.

It has been revealed that the person who reported Rain had watched the footage of 'On-Site 21' on celebrity recruits, which showed Rain, KCM, Mighty Mouth's Sangchu, and Se7en enjoying a night out after their duties by drinking together, and also seeking out massage parlors in the case of Sangchu and Se7en. At the time, Rain was already let off with a light punishment of 1 week probation when his previous military controversy arose about his vacation days, and was not considered to have done anything wrong by the military in the outing he took part in in the footage from 'On-Site 21'.

Following Rain's participation in an investigation this past month, his agency Cube DC stated on the 24th, "According to the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office, Rain was cleared of suspicion concerning his alleged violations of military service regulations."

With this good news on Christmas, Rain recently returned to Korea following filming for his Hollywood film 'The Prince' and is currently preparing for his upcoming album to be released on January 6.

Singer Rain cleared of suspected military code violation

2013-12-24

SEOUL, Dec. 24 (Yonhap) -- K-pop star Rain has been cleared of suspicions that he violated the military code of conduct during his mandatory service, the singer's agency said Tuesday.

The 31-year-old singer, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has been investigated by prosecutors over allegations that he spent too many days off duty before being discharged in July.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office probing the case dismissed charges against Rain on Dec. 12, CUBE Entertainment said in a press release.

All able-bodied South Korean men are required to serve about two years in the armed forces.

Rain spent 21 months as an "entertainment soldier" as part of a special unit designated by the defense ministry as an agency for promotion.

The now-defunct entertainment unit had employed actors, singers and other entertainers to provide TV and radio programming geared toward military audiences before it was abolished amid rising criticism over the special treatment the entertainer soldiers received.

Rain is one of the most popular male celebrities in South Korea and a well-known star in other Asian countries, and has appeared in several TV series and films.

[24-Dec-13][sports Seoul]"30Sexy"-"La song", Rain's doble title tracks from his new album due out January

Posted by memo-rain on December 24, 2013


00.jpg


The name of Rain's new album is 'Rain Effect' due out next January 6th.


It is the same as that of his reality show series, the first episode of which was broadcast last 19th. The reason for this is to express his more upgraded musicality.

Rain is set to return to the music scene with the double title tracks from his new album. One of the tracks is entitled "30Sexy" where he is now at the height of his outstanding vocal skills.

The other is La Song. It includes a wide variety of genres including Hip Hop, Old School, Electronic, Rock, Funk, etc. that he has never tried, being harmony with one another. It is some kind of uptempo dance tune where he is expected to enthral music fans with his lovely look and explosive dancing.

[25-Dec-13][MBN]Rain acquitted on charges of violating military law.

2013.12.25  

%EB%AC%B4%ED%98%90%EC%9D%98.jpg

 

 

 

Rain has been acquitted by the South Korean prosecutor since he was sued by an ordinary person for violating military law. In late November, the case was referred to the prosecutor by the police stating their opinions that he is clear from suspicion, and then recently the prosecutor has also decided to drop the charges against him.

 

Meanwhile, Rain has been working frantically on final arrangements for his comeback to the music scene with a new album due out next January 6th since he finished shooting hollywood film 'The Prince' not too long ago.

Rain reveals he conversed with Lee Hyori once when they were both naked at a tanning salon

December 26, 2013
Lee-Hyori-Rain_1388074940_af_org.jpg


On December 26, a new episode of Mnet's 'Rain Effect' aired, featuring footage taken of Rain and Lee Hyori backstage at the 2013 MAMA held on November 22.


As Rain and Lee Hyori were always known to be close friends, they relayed an interesting story about a time they had a conversation together while both were naked in the tanning salon.


Lee Hyori said, "I have a lot to say to Rain . . . First, I should say everything about the time I saw your naked body in the tanning salon."  Rain replied, "That was really funny.  I went to the tanning salon and I heard Lee Hyori say from the next room, 'Is that Ji Hoon (Rain's real name)?'"


Lee Hyori continued, "We conversed while we were both naked.  We did not see each other.  We talked with a wall between us, but thinking of the fact that he was next to me made me have weird imaginations.  You know."

[26-Dec-13][allkpop]Rain explains in a sweet speech why his fans have the right to criticize him

Posted by memo-rain on December 27, 2013


all.jpg

On a new episode of Mnet's 'Rain Effect,' Rain compared his life to a roller coaster, saying that there were many ups and downs, specifically in relation to how others viewed him as a celebrity.




The production team asked Rain why he never talked about his past in detail. Rain explained, "People used to think of me as a proper and charismatic person, but one day, those thoughts became distorted. However, I did not think that this was unfair. Even if it were unfair, I did not want to show this. I thought that whatever I did, I should just endure it, thinking that the truth would be revealed at some time or another."



He continued, "It is not like I could just be applauded forever. There has to be ups and downs. Long ago, I used to think, 'What am I doing,' but these days, I accept good criticism and I let other criticisms like 'I just don't like you' go in one ear and out the other."



Lastly, Rain said, "I am working harder for those people who love me. The public are my parents. They gave birth to me and allowed me to eat and live. The people who created me as 'Rain' are the Korean fans. They definitely have the right to criticize me and they also have the right to like and love me because I have enjoyed a lot of happiness over the years."

TVXQ talk about competing and promoting at the same time as Rain


December 26, 2013

TVXQ talked about releasing their new album in January and promoting at the same time as Rain during their press conference on December 26 before their 'SM TOWN WEEK TVXQ - Time Slip.'  


SEE ALSO: TVXQ to make a comeback with 7th album 'TENSE' on January 6th



The boys will be releasing their seventh album 'TENSE' on January 6, so it seems they will not be able to avoid Rain, who hinted that he would be making his comeback around the same time frame.


In relation to this, Yunho said, "I believe that juniors receive energy when seniors like Rain who have more than ten years of experience do a lot of promotions . . . He is a hard-working hyung so I think it will be fine if we all do our best while Rain shows his unique style and we show our unique style on stage.  Of course, we do feel some burden, but we try to make it fun.  I want to see hyung's comeback as soon as possible."


Stay tuned for updates on both TVXQ and Rain's comeback activities!

[26-Dec-13][MTVK]TVXQ and Rain to Face Off in January

Posted by memo-rain on December 27, 2013



MTV.png

Major K-pop acts TVXQ and Rain will both make highly-anticipated comebacks next month — on the same day! Brace yourselves, Cassies and Clouds — it’s about to be a clash of the titans.

SM just dropped the MV teaser for “Something,” the lead track off of TVXQ’s seventh studio album TENSE. 17 seconds of swing music and killer choreography go a long way when it comes to the Kings of K-pop.

Speaking of K-pop royalty — solo juggernaut Rain is making his first comeback since his two-year army hiatus on January 6 according to reps from Cube DC, Rain’s new label. No teasers for his next album just yet, but fans can catch up with all things Rain on his new reality show, Rain Effect.

January 6th is right around the corner and between TVXQ’s 10th anniversary and Rain’s first post-army release, the hype for this match up is going to be insane. We say, bring it on. We’re ready.

[27-Dec-13][enewsworld]Rain Talks About His Roller Coaster Life

Posted by memo-rain on December 27, 2013



e1.jpg

Rain′s life has definitely been a roller coaster - and no one is more aware of it than Rain himself.

December 26’s broadcast of Mnet’s Rain Effect showed Rain performing at his Tokyo concert, which was a huge success.

But after the concert, Rain got in his car and learned that bad news about him had been published, and widely spread, and fell silent as he read through the articles.

Inviting all staff and production team members for a dinner after his concert in Japan has ended successfully, Rain talked about his life saying, “My life is like a roller coaster. There’s always ups and downs. A lot of things have happened to me, but I think I should experience many things.”

“The moment I thought I was a cool guy, things got twisted,” continued Rain. “But I don’t think it’s not fair. Or even if I think it’s not fair, I’ve decided not to show it. I’ve decided to take what life throws at me and hope that one day truth will reveal itself.”

“ I can’t always be praised for what I do. If you go up, you come down too. I used to think ‘what am I doing here’ but now I accept criticisms if they’re supported with good reasons but if it’s just criticisms without any reasons, I just let it go,” confessed Rain.

“I work harder for the people who like and support me,” concluded Rain. “The public is like my parents, who gave birth to me, gave me a way to live and to live by the name of ‘Rain.’ They have the right to criticize me and to love me. If people turn the TV on, because they like me or hate me, that gives me a catharsis. I appreciate the fact that they watched me until the end.”

class="at_title"Reality Shows Give Inside Look to the Personal Lives of EXO, Rain, and CNBLUE

December 27, 2013


Reality shows featuring idol stars is enjoying a popularity that is second to none. They offer a behind-the-scenes look at the music industry's inner working as well as a glimpse into the personal lives of stars. It brings the stars down from the pedestal of international fame and exposes them for the human that they are.

skipped   .     .      .      .     .    .     .


skipped   .     .      .      .     .    .     .


"Rain Effect" is another wildly popular episode, with international superstar Rain being the focus of the show. Mnet airs "Rain Effect" on Thursday nights at 11PM. It reveals the human side of Rain, that is, the fans are able to see Jung Ji Hoon (Rain's given name) the Korean man who is striving to be the best, much like everyone else in every facet of life.

Rain reveals many of his personal life through "Rain Effect", including his house, his gym, his company, and his relations with other people, including other stars. Small clips that show Rain's morning face or his surprise at the cameras installed in his rooms is a welcome surprise to people who expected elite status snobbery from Rain.

One thing that many fans expressed surprise about was the fact that Rain does not like to work out. Even though he has one of the best bodies even among Hollywood superstars, Rain confessed that it is a drag for him to do such workouts. The only reason he keeps it up is so that he can be ready for any role that may come his way. In this way and many others, Rain is able to reach out to his fans as a person and not a world-class superstar.

Reality shows are bringing stars closer than ever to their fans, and it looks to be a trend that will continue to be explored by the cable networks.
