Korean superstar Rain will be able to pursue his singing and acting career for several more months following the deferral of his military entrance date to next year. The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) said late on Thursday that it will push back Rain's military entry to an unspecified date next year from the originally set September 28 of this year. All Korean men serve two years of mandatory military service, mainly during their early to mid twenties, but Rain, 28, had initially held off serving his military duties to study for a master's degree. He then submitted an application this May requesting for another postponement for reasons relating to his career. Rain is one of the main stars of upcoming TV series "Domangja s1" set to premiere in late September. Following the MMA's decision, Rain may appear in one more drama or movie before joining the military next year, according to his agency. An official with upcoming film "Red Scarf," a remake of the Korean movie of the same name from 1964, had said last month that there is a high chance Rain will play the main character in the story which tells of the life and comradeship of various soldiers. The movie would mark his second local big screen role, after critically acclaimed director Park Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay" while he has also appeared in Hollywood pics "Speed Racer" and "Ninja Assassin." Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, is considered one of the most successful Korean stars in the entertainment business throughout Asia.

Subject: Rain says done lifetime's worth of running for "Fugitive" Mon Sep 27, 2010 1:44 pm
Asian pop sensation Rain, who is constantly on the run as a fugitive in upcoming TV series "Fugitive Plan B," has said he has had to run so much that he has probably done a lifetime's worth of running.
In the romantic comedy investigative action series about a conspiracy involving a hefty sum of money going missing in times of the Korean War 60 years ago, Rain plays Gee-woo, a private detective at an international secret agency who becomes pegged as the murderer of his own old friend.
"Lee Jung-jin and my relationship is that of a chaser and the chased so we really ran a lot... I've done a lifetime's worth of running," the singer and actor told media outlets during a press conference for the drama held in Seoul on Monday.
He explained, however, that the action sequences were "not too tough to handle" after having received a year's worth of grueling training in Hollywood for Wachowski Brothers' pic "Ninja Assassin" last year which had left him with zero percent body fat.
The downside, he said, was that the show's director Gwak Jeong-hwan of hit drama "The Slave Hunters" fame, was becoming increasingly expectant of their performance.
"He was doubtful of us pulling off the action sequences at first but after we succeeded the first few times, he now thinks we can do anything and so just yesterday, we jumped over a wall three meters high," Rain jokingly complained.
From the start of the press conference, Rain had expressed his excitement over working with Gwak and writer Chun Sung-il, the mastermind duo behind "The Slave Hunters" which he claimed to have been a fan of.
Starring Jang Hyuk, Oh Ji-ho and Lee Da-hae, the show hit viewership ratings of nearly 36 percent during its two-month run from January this year and was lauded by critics for its strong storyline and beautiful scenes produced through the use of a Red One camera.
Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, rose to stardom throughout Asia through his solo singing career in 2002, but has made several solid acting appearances on the small screen as well including "Sang Doo! Let's Go to School" and "Full House."
"Fugitive," a 20-part series featuring a multinational cast of Korean actors Lee Na-young, Daniel Henney, Lee Jung-jin, Kong Hyung-jin, Yoon Son-ha, Hong Kong-'s Ti Lung, China's Josei Ho, and Japanese actors Takenaka Naoto and Uehara Takako, will premiere on September 29 on KBS.

Τι έχει το προσωπάκι του που δε το βλέπω εγώ? Μια χαρά φαίνεται ο άνθρωπος. Επίσης θέλω να πω ότι ο Rain έχει twitter αλλά δε το χρησιμοποιεί.Η φωτογραφία είναι από το twitter κάποιου άλλου(δεν ξέρω αν είναι στο προσωπικό ή αν είναι φίλος του) που ανέβαζε κι άλλες φωτογραφίες του Rain κατά τη διάρκεια των γυρισμάτων του Fugitive.Έτσι έγραφε στο rainlegend.

Subject: Rain shows off his chic airport fashion Tue Nov 30, 2010 12:42 pm
Spoiler:
Singer and actor Rain recently showed off his chic yet casual style at an airport.
On November 27th at 11:30 AM, Rain appeared at China’s Baiyun International Airport in order to attend the 16th Guangzhou Asian Games closing ceremony performance.
Baiyun International Airport was filled with fans and reporters since the early morning when word got out that Rain was performing at the closing ceremony. When Rain appeared, the fans started screaming and raving for him.
On this day, Rain matched a simple white shirt with a black coat and jeans. On the surface, it seemed like a plain style, but hidden points drew attention. The perfectly popped up collar of his coat had military patterns, and his brand name white backpack gave a casual look to the rest of his outfit, which had the potential to look stiff.
When the stylish Rain appeared, excited reporters let their flashes go off, and there was overwhelming coverage of Rain’s airport fashion. The cute appearance of the backpack-wearing star walking quickly through the airport made him look like he was going on a field trip and caused his fans to laugh with amusement.
Rain later went on stage for the closing ceremony and confirmed his reputation as a Hallyu star by putting on extravagant performances of his hit songs “Rainism“, “Hip Song“, and “Friends“.

“Red Muffler” changes title to “Soar: Close to the Sun”
We’ve been doing a lot of coverage on Rain’s new movie,”Red Muffler“, but now we’ll continue to do so under the movie’s new title, “Soar: Close to the Sun“.
To celebrate the official title, the producers released a still-cut featuring Rain, who plays the role of the passionate fighter pilot, ‘Jung Tae Hoon’. The shot is both dramatic and mysterious, which aligns perfectly with the film’s theme of illustrating the lives and dreams of fighter pilots – a profession that is little understood by the general public.
Producers have brought in a Hollywood filming team specializing specifically in aerospace technology. The team reportedly took part in films like “Inception” and “Dark Knight.”
Stay tuned for more updates.

Rain gives a lecture at Seoul National University
On May 3rd, multi-entertainer Rain gave a surprise lecture at Seoul National University.
A representative from Rain’s agency stated, “He’s been preparing to give a lecture since last year, but because of his busy schedule, he wasn’t able to give one. He fortunately found time today to meet with the students at Seoul National University. The topic of the lecture was ‘cultural contents’. The lecture was based on answering students’ questions and was conducted in a Q&A format.”
Although Rain intended to keep the lecture a secret, news surrounding his lecture spread like wildfire and about 300 students came to the lecture. The lecture was reportedly conducted for about an hour and 3o minutes.
