Rain's 20-year-old photo was unveiled

 

 

Recently, Rain uploaded several old photos from 20 years ago on IG. Because there's no difference from then & now who will be 40 years old this year, it has become a hot topic on the Internet. The old photos attracted a large number of fans to leave comments praising him for his "face, which has not aged", and also brought back a lot of memories. 

 

 

 

He uploaded several old photos on IG with a caption - "2002 from fans". Although the photo is not a high-resolution, Rain's appearance can still be clearly seen. Comparing this to him, who is about to turn 40 soon, there is almost no difference except for a little more youthful look.

*** RAIN shared that he still loves his wife Kim Tae-hee like he used to 10 years ago. He said this during episode of TVING's reality show 'Seoul Check-in' when Lee Hyo-ri met RAIN at a small bar in Seoul. Lee Hyo-ri asked RAIN, "How long has it been since you two have been together now?" RAIN answered, "It's been about 10 years, counting those years we were dating before we got married." Lee Hyo-ri asked, "Ah, it's about the same as me and Sang Soon. Do you still love her like you used to?" RAIN stated, "Yeah, I love looking at her when she eats. She's so cute. I mean, it's also that she's simply beautiful, but when I see both her cheeks filled with food, I can't help but to smile." Lee Hyo-ri responded, "It sounds like you are still deeply in love with her. I'm jealous of you. Your daughters are growing well as well. You really have everything in this world." RAIN shyly smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm very grateful for that." After that, Lee Hyo-ri shared her worries, "I'm happy with my marriage, but my husband seems more like my mom sometimes. What I meant is, he seems too much like my best friend. I'm not sure if we're the only married couple like this, or everybody else is like this too." RAIN suggested, "How about trying wearing perfume? Or anything like that. It may be good to create a different mood between you two. That will give you different feelings." Lee Hyo-ri said, "Ah, that might be an idea. I haven't worn perfume in like 10 years. You're right. We might need that sort of

 

change for sure."

*** During RAIN's recent interview with TVING's reality show "Seoul Check-In," he spoke about his family, including his wife Kim Tae Hee and two kids. Rain dishes out his true feelings towards her during their 10-year- relationship.  I'm happy that they are one of Korean power couple who is among the celebrity pairs who managed to keep their love burning despite being both public figures. Although. they are both well-known private when it comes to their relationship, it's still so NICE & COOL that Rain managed to spill secrets behind their decade-long romance. In the show, he revealed to Lee Hyo Ri (the host of the show) what it's like being a father of two. Lee Hyo Ri, who is also a close friend of Rain, joked about how she feels sad that "fewer people are paying that much attention to her." Rain managed to turn the conversation into a lighter note adding that he has his daughters paying attention to him, to which Hyori answered, "I guess I have my dogs.". Rain revealed that she loves when he looks at KTH "when she eats," and that she finds her so cute.  And that when he sees both her cheeks filled with food, he can't help but to smile. Lee Hyo Ri mentioned that Rain seemed to "have everything in this world."  He said that he is "very grateful for that" referring to his wife and kids.

Soompi & Viki Staff Talk: What Was The 1st Drama That Got You Into K-Drama World?

 

 

Along with our recent feature on great gateway K-dramas to introduce to friends, some of our staff members took time to reflect on which K-dramas first got us hooked (and eventually here at Soompi and Viki).

 

Here are the stories of our K-drama-loving crew:

 

 

Semi: “Full House”

 

 

I grew up in a big family, and it was very common to sit around the table and watch K-dramas while having dinner together. It was so fun talking about the backgrounds of the main characters and the romance in the 2004 drama “Full House,” which features the top stars Rain and Song Hye Kyo. “Full House” follows the classic K-drama cliche of the main characters living together by contract, but their cheesy love and the unique qualities of a 2000s drama causes there to never be a dull moment. Also, it’s quite entertaining to see their clothing styles that we would never wear now.

 

Watch “Full House” below:
