They say three’s a charm… But
when you put Rain, Lee Junho and Choi Minhwan in one mix, it’s the
complete concoction for perfection.
It’s early in the morning and it’s friggin cold where I am, but I just
had to share this doppelganger galore dedicated especially to noona
(older sister) fans out there whose hearts are feeling empty these days
lol.
2PM’s Lee Junho has always been known to
have a strong resemblance to Rain. But his talent goes more than just
his looks. When I first saw the live performance of 2PM’s second single
“Only You,” it was Junho who stood out the most. Jay is my fave but I
think he was the most stable singer-and-dancer—because he was moving
smoothly, doing acrobatics and all while still displaying stable vocals.
Being rookies that they were, some of them still looked a bit awkward,
like for instance, resident cutie Khun seemed a little like a
deer-in-headlights during his part of the song. Back then he still
needed to work on his facial expressions, so did Wooyoung who was
concentrating so much on his dance moves. Nevertheless “Only You” was a
great song and it’s great to see 2PM’s huge improvement since then. But
Junho, in my opinion has always been real good, it was as if he was
performing his whole life!
Junho: Dude, are you my long lost
brother?Rain: I love this guy!Junho is 2PM’s second maknae Performance pics: Can you guess
who’s who?Rain doing Khun’s trademark chest
rubbing dance while Junho does the Rainism body touching LOL.Rain, being in the same company as 2PM
before he spread his wings and created JTune, seems to be the boys’
hyung (big bro) whom they always looked up to. I think as trainees when
they see Rain work hard it inspires them too. There’s countless
performances where 2PM gave tribute to Rain, like their “Instead of
saying goobye” perfs, Jay and Junsu singing “I do” on the radio, 2PM
dancing to “Bad Boy” while Chansung did a solo of the magic stick dance.
So appropriate to leave the provocative dance to the maknae LOL! Khun
did a milk CF wayyy back in Thailand with Rain in it, and in variety
shows the two seemed to be comfy with each other, teasing and always
laughing. Even after Rain left JYP they seemed to get along still, like
in this photo taken with Junho where Rain was about to perform Rainism,
his first song independent of JYP.
More Junho goodnessJunho’s trademark bootaay! Fans
nicknamed him “Mae ung” (sorry Idunno how to translate) which roughly
means “charming hip.”Junho’s trainee daysLMAO he looks like he was having a
great time by himself doing selca. He looks freakishly like
Rain too!
FT ISLAND’s MINHWAN and RAINThere’s a slight resemblance when Rain
was younger. In the show “Let’s sleep here tonight” where 4 ahjummas
interview celebs in their dorms/apartments and in the end the stars
choose which one will not get to sleep in their place (I swear, some
Kshows are weird)—the ahjummas spazzed when they saw Minhwan’s photo,
saying how he looked like a young Bi. Minhwan told this episode when FT
had a gig outside Seoul, and the old ladies where like “Omona! Rain’s
here!!” LOL Minhwan and his ahjummas. That’s even worse than noona
fans! Such jailbait!
FT’s maknae: Oh little drummer
boy, come to noona! *LOL creepy much?*Typical noona jailbait: Minhwan,
don’t work when you’re tired. Noona will make money for you!Isn’t he just the cutest thing
evarrr? Sigh. Wait til he turns 21! This boy’s gonna be a heartbreaker!
Be still my noona heart!!Now let’s move on to an older,
more legitimate fangirl-worthy man! But before that, for comparison’s
sake,,, here’s Rain in his pre-teen days:Cutie Rain I swear, this post was a bit
difficult to do because I had to label the photos , otherwise I would
get lost on who’s who! What’s admirable about Rain is that he’s
one of the celebs who works DAMN hard. He took a huge gamble when he
broke away from JYP after seven long years, braved criticisms,
censorships and took his performances to the next level. He braved the
waters outside of Korea, and despite difficulties in language he’s still
trying. Plus in the middle of all that, and with his own JTune company,
he owns a clothing line and a coffee shop! Talk about being an
everyman!
As a bonus, I collected body
shots of Rain. *TeeheeMORE
