Check out Rain’s international handspeak. Why speak English when the hands says it all.

The first frost hasn’t even arrived yet, but the Japanese magazine industry is already pumping out the December issues. Donning dark frame glasses and longish bowl hair, mega pop-star, Rain (Bi) has a face that the ajumas would love-all innocent and boyish- on the December 2007 cover of Japanese magazine, KBOOM. The magazine features 20 never before seen shots of the Korean export. Don’t you wish you could snuggle up with him?

09.27.07 Rain–”Studying Abroad in The US Is Rumor…Only For Prep of Special Album”
Singer Rain expressed that his going to the US is only to prepare for his special album, and he has no intentions of studying abroad there (basically meaning to stay to further his studies).
One of Rain’s top representative-in-charge said, “There is no basis to the rumor of Rain furthering his education abroad upon completion of his film shoot and the hold on his domestic activities. The officials have not expressed any similar meaning to this. The US trip is only for the purpose of preparing for the special album.”
According to this person in charge, upon completion of the Shanghai concert Rain will be going to the US in preparation of his special album. This time Rain will be collaborating with a well-known American producer to officially make his march into the US market.
Meanwhile, a close friend of Rain also said, “It is a very famous black music producer. There might be a possible conflict between the release time of the special album and the screening of Rain’s movie, so there might be some rearrangements that have to be made.” Rain will be in contact with part of the staff from the LA concert which was cancelled, and his upcoming work schedule as an actor will be determined based on how his US plans go.
Regarding the matter of Rain’s studying abroad, the related personnel stated, “At present the company has yet to determine if he will attend classes at a university or if he will have a personal tutor.”

09.27.07 [Newsen] Rain’s People Explains Rumor Derived From His US Trip
Singer Rain’s spokesperson explained that regarding the rumor of him “comprehensively putting a stop to all his domestic activites is nonsense”.Regarding the viewpoint made by a media statement that “singer Rain will put a hold to all domestic moves starting in November”, Rain (Jung Ji-hoon)’s spokesperson has published an official remark.
During a telephone interview with Newsen, one of Rain’s related personnel explained, “We have heard about the report stating that his domestic activities will be put on hold. Some domestic media interview that was carried out in China was a misinterpretation of the content of Rain’s interview.” “Rain staying in the US starting in November is a fact, but to say that he will put a hold on his domestic activities is a groundless statement.”
This related personnel said, “Starting in November, during the production of the special album and activities for the area of US there is also the need to consider the study of English, but the learning program and the length of stay all have yet to be determined at this time.” This personnel continued,” It is not wrong to say that he will study, but this does not mean studying abroad.”
Regarding the rumor of him putting his domestic activities on hold, he said, “Apart from making work arrangements for the production of the special album, Rain will work on activities for domestic appearances/performances. The domestic activities will not be put on pause, and this does not mean that his acting career will be interrupted.”
Regarding this small ‘disturbance’, Rain’s spokesperson expressed this regret, saying, “Whatever Rain says becomes news at this time, this minor ‘disturbance’ is the consequence of an exaggerated report.”
On another note, Rain will be having his individual concert on October 6 in China’s Shanghai, and he will be flying into Shanghai on the 4th.

07.09.27 Rain clarifies about his USA plan
Singer Rain has made clarification on the rumours regarding his USA plan, “It said that Rain will stop all his activities in Korea, this is indeed ridiculous!” Regarding the reports by some media “Singer Rain will stop his activities from November onwards”, Rain (Jeong Jihun) voiced his official statement. A spokesman of Rain explained to Newsen during the telephone interview, “We’ve heard about the rumours saying Rain will stop all his activities in Korea. A media had twisted the facts during the interview in China.” He added, “It is true that Rain will go to USA on November onwards but it is untrue to say that he stops all his activities in Korea.” “From November onwards, Rain will work on the album production and at the same time, he is thinking to learn English for his future activities in America region. At this point of time, there’s still no concrete studying plan nor staying period in USA.” The spokesman said, “Yes he’s keen to learn, but not enrolling for long term studying.” About the rumours saying Rain will stop his activities, the spokesman mentioned, “Other than album and some schedules in USA, Rain will concurrently attend some performance events in Korea. Not staying in Korea doesn’t mean that he completely stops his career.” The spokesman also added, “Well when every word from Rain can get up to the headlines, it shows that the rumours are caused by overstated news.” On the other hand, Rain will fly to Shanghai on Oct 4 to get ready for his Shanghai concert held on Oct 6.

07 Sept 26– Rain Passes Through Eventful Period, Starting Afresh With Activities
Han Lianshe Nantong, September 26 - For singer and actor Rain (25 years-old), the early part of this year is considered “the most eventful time” for him. Rain himself also said that the experience of this period of time is “the pain of production”.
This year, Rain acted in the movie
On the 24th, Rain attended the closing ceremony of the 9th Asian Cultural Art Festival in Nantong of Jiangsu Province in China–the Central Committee Television (CCTV)’s reporter for the music program “Zhong Hua Qing” had the privilege of interviewing him, and could not resist asking him about his feelings regarding supporting oneself (meaning being his own boss I guess) as well as regrets deriving from the world tour.
Rain smiled and said, “During this period of time there has been many matters, and I have also gone to many countries. It’s possibly because of all this, I think that my body is not like before, condition is not very good…”
He did not disclose any further, and expressed his regrets regarding this.
“To me it is difficult (withstanding) matter. It’s too soon to discuss all the situations right now, so I think that after some accurate results I will inform everyone.”
But as soon as the matter of his film shoot in Berlin between July 2 to August 31 was mentioned, Rain became very happy.
Rain indicated this, “With Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Emile Hirsch and other actors, it felt like one big family spending this 2-month period together. They taught me many everyday usages of slang words which has helped me out a lot. At the movie studio each actor was provided with a trailer, and the inside of each trailer was organized like his/her own home. Each week we all took turns to dine together in these trailers. I used barbecued meat and other Korean dishes to entertain them, and they all had a good time eating.”
In the beginning the Hollywood stars were doubtful of Rain as a first-timer from Asia, thinking “will he be able to act well, or will he have issues with the language?”. But Rain’s performance stemmed out from their anticipation and his role was increased from the initial script. Moreover after listening to his music via Youtube, they showed their appreciation towards Rain.
The two-month long film shoot has enabled Rain to come up with new ideas for his next activity. Rain is determined that even if he fails, he must diligently work towards obtaining success in the American show business and music industry.
Rain has received an invitation from a famous Hollywood director to act in a leading role (unclear as to whether it’s ONE or many invitations), but he is presently still considering. As a singer, Rain is establishing an effective system in the US. Rain will also go to the US in November to study English with the possibility of him going to and fro South Korea amidst that time, but he is planning on staying in the US temporarily for one year.
Rain said, “After watching the very first episode of the American show
Rain added, “After such a long time of seperation I am very happy to be back in China. I am also very grateful for the fans’ enthusiasm. I will definitely put in all my efforts.” (End
Officially, Rain is “vacationing” while Yang Dong Sun tries to take his place. He told the media that he wants to rest for next 3 weeks, so he’s ignoring all requests for interview. Talk about endless modesty. But this does not stop floods of speculation articles about Rain’s whereabouts and of course, we are here to share. It looks like Rain is preparing for a big business transaction to bank on his popularity while it lasts. Instead of going public with his Rainy Entertainment, many speculate that Rain will merge with another company then go public, following in Bae Yong Joon’s footsteps.
Rain, it’s about time you give a press conference to clear everything up. But how naive of me to even think that Rain will even give us a straight answer. He’s going to refer everything back to his motto and his hard luck story and hope that we all forget about his concert fiasco.
*Rain is scheduled to perform in at the Korea-China-Japan Asian Art Festival on Sept 24

well your man officially from August 1st gave up his stocks in “WHITE Corporation” the company which Rain, holds the biggest share of their stocks.The reason for this decision a Rain’s spokesperson stated in an article from Korean Mydaily is because “WHITE Corporation has gone through failure during this short-term of investment and at present is on the borderline of going bankrupt, but the company has also been slow in submitting the application of bankruptcy, and such an act could possibly put serious implications on Rain and his people. So Rain has no choice but to give up his share of stock to avoid sharing the responsibility.”
Rain was the major stockholder at 34% for this corporation! Hmmm seems like things are going down hill and this is just a start!
Another news … is that Rain seems like Officially opened his own office! It’s called “Rainy Entertaiment” laugh at the name all you want … we already did with our stafff months ago! We thought we were hallucinating so never shared the news on the mainstream .. but Rain himself gave out the address and asked even fans to send their Fan letter to his new address! Official news on Baidu stated the following on the event:
Rain’s agency opened officially in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, on the 20th. Relevant personnel said, “It’s set up temporarily to manage his matters, in other words, an agency,” in an attempt to defer from the saying that they’ve set-up a company on their own. However, some inside analysts said, the truth is, they may be paving path for a “Jung Jihoon incorporated” entertainment company with Rain as the anchor artiste.
Meanwhile Korean news are stating Rain will be back in Korea in mid-August .. happy of all Rain’s US concert tour organiser, Star M who submitted a public apology statement on the 27th … thinks all is great and can’t wait to start the new projects with Rain! Star M Planning said, “We will do our best to revert damages that has been done to Rain’s reputation“. *yawn* someone remind them about the long list of their lawsuits please~ Star M has short term memory or something?
Address of the Rain’s Personal Office
89-8 Chungdam-Dong, 3rd FloorGangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea, 135-101
* Fan letters or presents can be sent to Jung Ji Hoon or Rain

Season 2 of the popular kdrama is in the making!!
There is already a script that’s been worked on for a year and is ready for episode 3. Casting hasn’t been done so it is unknown if Rain or Song Hye Kyo will be in it. Casting will be done this year and the drama will be filmed and aired next year and the director has not been decided yet. Since the first season was a big hit, season 2 could also be a big hit.
What do you guys think about it?! I think there’s gonna be a slim chance that Rain and Song Hye Kyo will be in it. I also think that season 2 won’t be as good as the first one. But if Rain and Song Hye Kyo is in it..it will be as good as the first season!!
