Hi rain4life, thanks for sharing this here. He posted this last Friday. These stuff came from Clouds : Japan, China & Korea. He posted this with a caption : Thank you # Cute #Packer # cloud # japancloud # chinacloud # Clouds in Korea. 

 

 

*** Also, thanks for sharing another image he posted yesterday. Seoul is really such a beautiful city! I couldn't agree with him more. I remember in my 1st visit to Seoul some years back, my 1st place I went to was Seoul Tower.  Have you been there, dear? It is one of the most popular destinations to visit on vacation to South Korea, and for good reason! Not only can you take in a 360 degree view of the entire city of Seoul, but there are also museums, restaurants, shops, and more inside. There’s a rotating restaurant at the top! Seoul Tower has been the backdrop of countless K-drama scenes, like in Boys over Flowers. Visitors have the opportunity to ride the Namsan cable car up Namsam Mountain to get to the tower. Once at the tower, visitors can purchase tickets to ride the elevator up to the observation deck, which provides a stunning view of the entire city. One of the most memorable and popular activities at the tower is locking padlocks onto the fence and metal trees as a symbol of eternal love. You can purchase a love lock, or bring your own, write a personal message on it. and then declare your undying affection by locking it to the tower forever. If you come at the right moment, there are often guards dressed in historical clothing and performances of traditional Korean song and dance. There are fun souvenir shops inside, including the Hello Kitty store! If you're planning your trip to Korea, Namsan Seoul Tower definitely must be at the top of your list! If you’re in Seoul you’ll definitely see your idol’s advertisements on walls and on television literally everywhere you turn.

 

 

I have never been to Seoul  My friend spent her honeymoon there, she said she would never forget  that city. It's really is too beautiful.

***  Oh............I'm sure in the future you could get to see the place where RAIN is. Things often cost about the same as they do in American cities, but taxes and tip are included in everything there. What you see is what you get! In other countries, the price on a menu or price tag is not the actual price that you pay. Taxes and service charges are usually added at the end. In Korea, those chargers are already included in the price, which makes things a lot easier when doing things like splitting bills! During dining, sticking your chopsticks in your rice - never do this there! For them upright chopsticks resemble the incense burnt at funerals or ancestor worships. So, that’s a definite no-no. And in South Korea, it’s more common to eat as groups of two or more than it is to eat alone. Eating alone is considered somewhat taboo, but, NICE that the trend of eating alone now is becoming more and more pronounced around Korea. Shopping for beauty products is also often on the bucket list for those visiting and staying in Korea, myself included. They don't call Seoul the beauty Mecca of Asia for no reason. When I first stepped out of Myeong-dong during my 1st visit I felt a bit overwhelmed with its bright electric lights and record-high makeup shops per square meter. I was lured in with free samples of masks and creams in little packages. Korean cosmetics are affordable and diverse to meet any taste. The first obstacle I encountered during my visit to Seoul was the language barrier. Most beauty centers in the area are short on English-speaking staff and it will probably take them some time to become more foreign-friendly. That’s why, it was quite difficult to obtain any information on the options and services they offer. As an extremely technologically-savvy country, it is not surprising that Korea has high-speed internet access almost anywhere. Even the public internet you connect to in shopping malls and cafes are faster than other countries’ fastest connection. Korea has one of the cleanest and most easily accessible public transport systems in the world. The subway and buses run in each and every direction, so you’ll never be lost! Add in the fact that the systems are strictly cleaned and maintained. And ....being loud on subways or buses is generally rude. See - it's really too beautiful there.

*** Thanks for sharing some captures from the message video of SP-68. RAIN is sporting a new haircut, which is a trend in Korea now. It made him looked younger. They call it "choppy bangs" - Many celebrities have been sporting this new hairstyle such the likes of Park Bo Gum, etc..........So, RAIN has hopped on to the trend. He surely pulled it off. It's a little similar to "mushroom hair" - hahaha - Although, looking at it seems a bit awkward.  As what you said, silly haircut.

Rain’s new biopic “Uhm Bok-dong” is halfway done

CinemaOnlineAsia Monday, June 05, 2017  biopic, celeb, movie, music, news, rain, uhm bok dong, vfa2017,viral fest asia

South Korean superstar Rain will soon be starring in an upcoming South Korean biographical drama film based on the famed cyclist Uhm Bok-dong, and the shooting of the film is almost halfway done.

“I'm shooting a new movie called “Uhm Bok-dong”. Obviously, it's based on the life of the Korean cyclist of the same name during the Japanese colonial period of 1910 in Korea,” said the actor during our interview with him at the recent Viral Fest Asia in Bangkok.

“The shooting of the film is about 40 percent done, and it would most likely go on until mid-August,” the actor added.

Uhm Bok-dong became a national symbol of pride for the Koreans when he defeated Japanese cyclists and won the championship in a bicycle race which took place during the Japanese colonial rule of Korea.
 

Rain mentioned that this is the first time that he has taken on this kind of role, and he hopes that he gets to try on more challenging roles in the future.

“The role that I'm playing now is a character that I've never tried playing before and it is very challenging and interesting, so I'm sure that it will be a new experience to the audience as well.”

“I really enjoy working with the other actors on the film, and I hope that in the future I get to try on other different kinds of new and unique characters,” the 34-year-old singer-cum-actor said.

After filming is done, Rain will be focusing on releasing his new album which is set to be released by the end of this year.
 

“If I’ll be staring in a new drama, the album is expected to come out in December, if not, it could be around mid-November,” said Rain whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon.

Meanwhile, the King of Pop also noted that he is embarrassed to be called King of Pop by his fans even though he feels honoured at the same time.

“Apart from me, there are a lot of other well-known artistes in the entertainment industry. I’m just a shy person who tries to act and sing in my own style, and with own ability. I’m just helping the others to help promote K-Pop to the rest of the world.”

“So rather than being called the King of Pop, I rather be known as one of the artistes who contributes to the industry,” he continued.
