Jung Ji Hoon * 정지훈 * 鄭智薰 * (aka Rain/Bi / 비 / ピ) I [Upcoming Drama 2024] Red Swan

[willenette]

*** Someone spotted RAIN at Mangwon Market. Is he shooting a show? I wonder what is this, though.   This is  a traditional market. This is loved by the locals. Apart from yummy hot food, you can also get fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats here. There's just so much to eat at Mangwon Market! Don't expect the market to be as foreigner-friendly, though. Stall owners don't know Mandarin or English. So, English menus are largely unavailable here. This is just a few minutes walk from Hongdae and the Han River.

*** The man said: "I prepared the food personally for Rain hyung. He told me it was delicious and it’s awesome. It was awesome to me too to prepare the food and treat Rain hyung! " It must be lucky to have a photo together with RAIN.

*** In Kim Tae Hee's eyes, Rain is "the coolest man in the world"! JYP can't believe it: she doesn't seem to know his shortcomings.....

 

 

 

 

[willenette]

*** I believe that RAIN invested in the relationship so much. Kim Tae Hee and Rain both put equal effort into their relationship. I hope they stay going strong forever. They are perfect for each other! I love JYP relationship with RAIN ever since.  His interaction with him never changed at all.

J.Y. Park says he doesn't understand how Kim Tae Hee still has lovey-dovey eyes for Rain

 

 

Back on September 10, J.Y. Park appeared as a guest on Rain's very own YouTube series, 'Season B Season'. 

 

On this day, Rain decided to "kidnap"(?) J.Y. Park so the two of them could spend some time chatting. Rain then revealed that there was a gathering involving Rain and his wife Kim Tae Hee, and J.Y. Park and his wife recently. 

 

Here, J.Y. Park said, "To be honest, what really surprised me about your wife... I mean of course I love you, and your fans love you. But your wife was saying, 'How can such a great man exist in this world? How can such a great man be my husband?'. I honestly think, that your wife doesn't know any of your flaws. Really. Like, I know you're cool and respectable, I know our Ji Hoon is cool and charismatic. But admit it Ji Hoon, you're not the single absolute best man in this entire world, right? But she's like, 'This man is the best man in the world'. And I'm just like, 'This guy? What's she talking about?'."

 

Bursting out laughing, Rain tried to explain, "This may sound a little childish, but I think I just give her that much trust." Still, J.Y. Park didn't seem to buy the explanation and responded, "Hmm...".

[SBS Star] VIDEO: J.Y. Park Says He Is Surprised How Much Kim Tae-hee Loves RAIN

 

 

Singer/JYP Entertainment head producer J.Y. Park shared that he is surprised by how much actress Kim Tae-hee loves singer RAIN. On September 10, a new video was uploaded on RAIN's YouTube channel. In this video, RAIN was seen having a conversation with J.Y. Park while driving around Seoul.

 

 

During the talk, J.Y. Park mentioned the last time they met with each other. J.Y. Park said, "The last time we saw each other was only like a week ago, right? We met with our wives." He continued, "You know what's so surprising about Tae-hee though? I feel like she doesn't know nor see your flaws." He explained, "I mean, I love you, and there are lots of people who love you. But she's like, 'How does a man like this exist? How is that man my husband?'"

 

 

RAIN laughed, and J.Y. Park went on, "You are awesome indeed, but it's not like you are the most awesome guy in this world." He added, "She always says you are the most awesome guy, but how...? That's just something I don't get. Every time, it gets me thinking, 'Does she really mean it?' What happened there? Can you give me an explanation?" RAIN could not stop laughing for a while, then he commented, "I think it's because she's so pure. It's also that I give her that much trust." To this, J.Y. Park shortly responded with "Ah, okay..." and an awkward smile.

*** Excerpts from Soompi article: ”BTS Talks About Their Biggest Musical Influences, Current Hobbies, And More”.  V mentioned about RAIN.

V also named his members as a big influence, saying that he started making his own music and even a mixtape because of them. “I want to say that it was possible because of my members,” he said. “Rain is also the person who made me think that being a singer seems like such a cool job. When I watched him on stage, I wondered how he could perform in such a cool way all on his own.”

 

When asked by Bae Chul Soo about what he thought about Rain’s viral hit “Gang,” V spoke about how much he loved Rain’s performances and his passion. He said, “I watched ‘Gang’ and thought that people would really like it once some time had passed. It’s addicting.”

*** This is a fun interview. But, is TMI (too much information???) 

 

 

********************************************************************************************************

 

Question and RAIN's answer in Let it 비 episode 10

 

1. Your own routine before poster shooting?

No routine, why do I need a routine.

You think you would look cool even without any routine?

When did I say I am cool? It’s the make up artist who made me look cool.

 

2. Tip for a good shot?

This time I need to reply like a celebrity. My left face is better. And if possible, I won’t eat anything on the day of shooting.

 

3. If you could only eat one food your whole life: Chicken or Pizza?

Of course chicken. I am not that fond of pizza.

 

4. If you can leave now, where do you want to go?

It’s coronavirus time now, where can you go?

If there is no coronavirus.

I would like to get in a camping trailer and travel around our country. Our country has many nice places.

 

5. My charming point - Perfect body vs handsome face?

(Asked his staff), tell honestly what do you think?

Staff: of course Rain oppa’s face
it’s face!

 

6. What do you think is your humor score?

I don’t really know. When I made interesting comments to people around me, I don’t know if they laughed because it’s interesting, or whether it’s because of business relationship.

 

7. Please tell Let it 비 viewers one of your TMI

When you guys eat pork belly, do you eat with Chojang sauce? No? Try it. It’s really delicious. Chojang sauce with sesame oil. And there is the Ssamjang pepper sauce. The ratio is Ssamjang 1, Sesame oil 1, Chojang 3. To me it’s delicious .
(Look forward to viewers feedback)

 

8. You will show a bit of your body at today’s shooting?

That’s what I heard. It’s just a manly, rough sexy concept. Something like that. I don’t know how much I have to show off my body, need to discuss with the author.
(Discussion result revealed )

New coined word test to be continued.

PD: Last time,  we understood that you have been learning the newly coined words, so we will have a test today. We will start with a very easy one.

Q1. 별다줄 (byeol da jul)

Rain: Starbucks? ( the first two words are the same as the Korean word for Starbucks).

Wrong. It is an abbreviation of “shortening everything”. (When one can’t understand what the other person was talking or couldn’t hear clearly what was said).

Rain: Oh I wanted to say that, really.

 

Q2 TMT

Rain: What is TMT?

T is too.

Rain: Too Much Talker! Yesss! I got this right!

 

Q3. Now we will go to a slightly more difficult one. 오저치고 (o jeo chi go)

Rain: (Doubting what he heard).. O.. Jeo...Chi... Go...I don’t know this, what is it?

It’s an abbreviation for “let’s go eat chicken tonight?”

Rain: Did you make this up? (No, it’s in the dictionary). I will send these words to people, and if they don’t know what the words mean, then I will.... ok next.

 

Q4. 복세편살 (buk se pyeon sal)

Rain: (Quickly give up). What is this?

It is short for "Let's live comfortably in a complicated world.”

Rain: Why live comfortably? We should work hard day to day, win or lose. Why buk se pyeon sal? ...Next.

 

Q5. 비담 (bi dam)

Rain: Bi Dam!!!! Isn’t this too much? Always asking me those I don’t know! What should I do?

It’s short for “visual person” (meaning the most handsome person in an idol group).

Rain: Oh that’s me (agree)

 

Q6 The last question is the easiest one. 아바라 (a ba ra)##

Rain: 아빠랑 (Mistaken the words as “with dad”)?
a ba ra... Having Americano with dad? haha haha What is it?

It stands for Iced Vanilla Latte.

Rain: Are you cheating me? Do people really use and write these words 아바라? If I go to Starbucks and ask for 아바라, they will understand?

(distrust)

(We wait for viewers comment on their story of 아바라).

 

PD: You got one correct answer on the newly coined words.

Rain: This is nonsense, really. Hey please write all these words down, we need to study them. That’s enough for today. I’m going to try use 아바라
