UPDATES

Based on what was posted by Jay of Rain-USA, this is what JiHoon, et al revealed at the presscon:
1. His second Hollywood movie is called Ninja Assassin (based on the anime Ninja Scroll) where he would be playing the lead role of Jubei. It will be helmed by the team of Joel Silver and the Wachowski Brothers. He has stressed that his role will not be Japanese. At which point, I felt like he was looking straight at me, saying, “quit worrying, AgentP, no possible diplomatic rows will happen in the future”. Although it got me to thinking: aren’t ninjas supposed to be Japanese?? Someone please enlighten me on this.
2. He is going to release a single for the Olympics (I guess this is the one for Samsung), and then the next album - that is, the one for international release -will come after the second movie… if he has time to do so (wait, does this mean he has something planned after the movie that is more concrete than recording the album?? hmm… ).
So I guess we’ll be seeing more of JiHoon Jung and less of Rain for a while…
3. Rain: “I have no problem conversing in English.”
Whooooaaaaaa! Big words! Is this a challenge or what?

is this BYJ?

Once summarized article comes out, we will post in press section.Well... It is not that brief, is it?!source : Rain-usacredit & special thanks : Jay@RainusaAs shown on Rain-usa

I think JiHoon is staying in the US for a while. That’s a LOT of luggage for a guy, don’tcha think

Seriously, what could be in a guy’s luggage that could merit a ‘Fragile’ tag? Any guy out there who could answer? (yes, Dens, I’m looking at you. )
I don’t think he’s carrying his CK gear, it’s the CK people who will provide that for him.

one lucky gal...

Lucky Thai fan gets a phone call from Rain!credits:penpaklotus/Doraemon's_sister/P'Singhtoh@ Rainthailand.netfarmer@sexybi for translation
I was browsing through RainThailand.net and read that one lucky member (P' Singhtoh) of RainThailand Fanclub received an unexpected phonecall from Rain himself.
Here goes: (translation from Doraemon's_sister account as told by P'Singhtoh to Doraemon's_ sister)Time: 6.50 am Thailand 31/10/07
A heavy male voice greeted with the hit saying "Anyong...
"P' Singhtoh was probably wondering who in the world was calling her early in the morning..
The voice kept repeating "Anyong...anyong..." "I'm Rain"
With that phrase, P'Singhtoh was in shockThe male voice kept repeating, "I'm Rain...you know"
By this time, P'Singhtoh wasn't about to waste any more time"Yeah, yeah I know"
she saidAccording to P'Singhtoh,
Rain spoke in English...his voice was really heavy and husky...his English wasn't bad as she could easily understand what he was trying to convey to her
Rain said to her that he had received the gifts and flowers that RainThailand sent him and thanked them for it...he asked her to also thank her friends as well
He also said that it was really cold now in Korea and told them to take care of their health because health was the most important!
(note: the before story is that some members of RainThailand made gifts for Rain and sent it to him. They wrote their names on the back of a RainThailand poster board.
P'Singhtoh wrote her name along with her phone number. The other members even teased her about whether he would ever call.
And he did!! Never in their wildest dreams did they think it would come true! Lucky gal indeed!!)

Rain fly to USA again

Oppa Rain went to USA this November 2, 2007 to record the OST of the upcoming animation movie "KUNGFU PANDA" , although it will only be a brief stint, he was hoping to meet up with some movie producers to deal with his second hollywood movie...I happen to watched the video of this footage at you tube and boy was it scary....the US fans were crazy...they were literally shoving him, no bodyguards around as this was supposedly a private arrival but who knows who keep on leaking out infos about his whereabouts...one fan tapped his back a few times that he winced a little, either the said tap was so hard or as we know it Rain doesn't really wants to be touched, as we all are especially if its a stranger...any way Oppa Bi, have a fruitful stay in LA...

Rain caught redhanded

This playful Rain with a mask, was caught in Everland, Korea!

This kid went to Everland yesterday night, and the tall guy from Koyote was with him...Before that they went to elsewhere, and they ate hamburger.

When they were in Everland, Rain wore a mask (sth like gauze mask ), playing games and the best part, people can recognise him!!!

Guess what he said.... "Please hold on a while, hold on ya..." Then RAN AWAY!!

just to rehash what everyone had already said, that is SO Full House. I wonder when is he going to re-enact the presscon announcing he’s getting married? hehehe. (Of course, the marriage has to be for real. And preferably, with the same woman he did that scene with. harharhar)
