**NOTE: If you were on our bulk order list to get this hat, you should have received an Update email from me on Friday, February 10, that R.A.I.N. Company has canceled international bulk orders in favor of online ordering at Gmarket.

very soon…

A post shared by RAIN♥ (@rain_oppa) on Dec 16, 2016 at 7:32pm PST

Hi, all! R.A.I.N. Company has put the snapback hat Rain personally designed for fans on Gmarket, and the limited online sale started a few hours ago at 8 PM Sunday night (February 12)! For those of you who might want one, here is what you need to know:

• The English language order page is HERE: → http://bit.ly/2lv64zQ

• The hat price is $29.oo USD. Gmarket’s quoted international shipping price is around $30.00 USD, give or take. (We know… steep!)

• As I understand it, the sale will last for as long as the hats last. Quantities are limited.

For anyone who is not familiar with shopping on Gmarket and is having problems following the order process, I’ve made screenshot instructions from when I put in my personal order. I hope it helps! Please see those below:

[2 clips][Eng trans] Kim Kwang Min gives Rain a call on MBCeveryone1’s Video Star, Ep. 54. (7/18)

•July 23, 2017 • 1 Comment

— Cloud cover by Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^

I have to give Rain’s longtime friend, actor Kim Kwang Min, props here. It’s never easy for anyone to admit their shortcomings, much less on TV in front of, like, everybody. And for him to be able to get out of his feelings, look back, and understand that Rain was acting as a friend (not something many people can do, take criticism), he’s a pretty cool guy. These two have worked together on K-dramas A Love To Kill, The Fugitive: Plan B, My Lovely Girl, and upcoming Chinese TV drama Endless August.

Translation begins around a minute into the first video. » For more about what was said before that, see the second SOOMPI News article in my previous post HERE. Thanks to our Sunnypeony for her hard work! ^@@^

[articles] Rain check: Of a bad tenant, a good friend, and Cloud USA in the news.

•July 23, 2017 • 2 Comments

— Cloud cover by Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^

Well, peeps, if Rain re-posting from our Instagram wasn’t cool enough, it also landed Cloud USA in the Korean news (Nate, Newsen, eNews 24, etc.) and on Naver blogs. They must be watching his social media like a hawk! The gist of these write-ups is how Rain revealed a refreshing, handsome appearance [in a picture] of him picking out dessert in a café, how he re-uploaded the picture onto his Instagram from his U.S. fan account, and how even with sunglasses and a hat he could not hide [all that handsomeness]. True, oh, so true.^^

[29 images][2 making of][CF] Rain Ad Campaign of the Day: Nikon, part 4 of 4. (2010)

The materials from Rain’s Nikon campaigns is so extensive, I had to break them up into parts to survive trying to post it all. Are we really — finally — at the end of this thing? Onwards, then! I hope you’ve enjoyed our journey. 🙂

Winter/Spring 2010. After all of that running around Seoul and other places with Rain using his photography skills, Nikon put all of his images together in a D5000 series photo exhibition for the public. I can’t remember if the camera package presented to that lucky winner was a giveaway or an auction, but I do remember that the event happened earlier in the month, online, and all the dude had to do was come and pick his prize up from Rain. ^@@^

[4 images][1 dance cam] Instagrams abound: 비 wants you to see…

…that he does think about his Clouds and is gathering them close. He’s been showing some of his unofficial global fan groups love on his Instagram randomly this summer by re-posting from theirs, something he’s never done before on social media. As far as fans go, these actions are unprecedented. And we adore and appreciate the gesture. ❤

7/14. Rain was at C27 Cheesecake &Coffee in the Apgujeong neighborhood in Gangnam District, looking classy casual and getting his dessert-on, haha. (Image: @____1223____) Weibo user Melody noticed that he was wearing the Nikes he posted about on Instagram last year. (Image source: @sunnypeony) Apgujeong is considered to be one of the wealthiest and most fashionable neighborhoods in South Korea. ^@@^

Actually, I should probably rename this Rain check something like, Stephe Goes On Several Rants. But hey, y’all should be used to me by now.^^

7/7. Diamond Lover check: For the longest time, I didn’t give two hoots about watching Diamond Lover (2015). » SEE the official long trailer » SEE the official CEO trailer. I didn’t try to watch it, and I didn’t care to watch it. I’ll tell you why.
