Red Carpet and performance location: Alice’s World of Pop at the Landmark Hong Kong venue. Boy, what a crowd! 🙂 And let me say this right now — longtime Cloud Biblueberry of Cloud Taiwan had THE BEST VIEW IN THE HOUSE. If I’d been standing where she was, no doubt I’d have keeled over and hit the ground.
Her fan cam will be a longtime favorite in this camp. Well done, sister! *applause, applause* (AND the Hip Song grind from the side, to boot? Fiyah! 🔥🔥) ^@@^
(When Rain tweeted this image back on 10/10/2011, the day before he enlisted, we thought he might be in a barber shop, maybe getting his Army haircut… but no! He was doing his thing for new sponsor Coupang with actress Kim Tae Hee, before she became his girlfriend and his wife! They were the new faces of the company, sooo cute.^^ SCROLL DOWN for more. BTW… the concert he’s talking about here was his Last of The Best street concert in Gangnam on 10/9. The city had to close off seven lanes of traffic for that thing! ^@@^)
NOTE: The last day that you can apply to Rain’s Official Cloud Cafe for Cloud 10 membership is October 30. As we understand it, as long as you get your Naver ID and apply for membership by that day, you will still have time to complete any membership requirements. Yippee!
** NOTE: THESE ARE MY EXPERIENCES ON MY DESKTOP COMPUTER. Figuring this stuff out on my tablet has been harder, so in the interest of time, I’ve been pursuing my 10th Cloud membership on my PC.
Hi, fellow Cloud 10 hopefuls! Good to talk with you again. Sorry that it’s been a little while, but learning to navigate Naver and trying to get my Diligent Cloud requirements done so I can be upgraded to an official 10th Cloud has been quite distracting. And, I must admit… FUN! I cannot tell you how much I’m enjoying the camaraderie on the site. In roughly 3 or 4 days, I reckon I should be a bona fide member of this new term and finally able to read the private message that Rain left in the Cloud Cafe for all 10th Clouds. Some of the earliest applicants have reached 10th status, I see. Congrats to them! So excited! 🙂
A lot of y’all have asked me how to post pics and videos, so here are my experiences with that in the hopes that it helps.
** NOTE: Though I will also be setting up my Tab A to access the Cloud 10 site soon (with the Naver Café app for Android in the Google Play Store), at the moment I’m doing all of this on my desktop computer. Seems like this will be easier for the time being.
Hi there, peeps! Time for me to check and see if my application’s gone through and I’ve been accepted on the new Cloud 10 café site. Fingers crossed. Read on! ^@@^
** EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention… I did all of this from my computer, rather than my Tab A or my phone. But I imagine it will work the same whether you’re desktop or mobile. ^@@^
Firstly, I want to thank those who went the extra mile for Clouds and Rain fans by posting Naver tutorials based on their own experiences, in the hopes that it would help the rest of us. Korean mega-portal Naver is something most of us have run into in the K-Pop/K-drama world, right? But when it comes to navigating the thing, it’s brand new territory in another language, not to mention daunting, frustrating to the point of tearing your hair out, etc.
The 9th Cloud term has lasted longer than any other, as far as I know, and we certainly got our membership money’s worth, as far as I’m concerned. But, as much as I’ve enjoyed it, it is coming to a close and R.A.I.N. Company has opened the recruitment doors for Rain’s official 10th Cloud fan club, if you choose to walk through them.
(FYI: Even though there is an English Talk board, many Internet browsers now have a tool bar option that will translate the page you’re on with the click of a button. You can successfully use that with the fan club site. Try it!)
**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.
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 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:
There are waaay too many good shows of all kinds on TV in many countries and online these days and we need a place to dish about ’em, am I right? What say you? Let’s discuss! ^@@^
WE GOT SPOILERS. Please back out of here & DON’T SCROLL unless you’re good with that.
The previous Cloud-watching post from 2/29/2016 – 5/17/2016 is HERE. ^@@^
Don’t let those images you’ve seen of the R.A.I.N. Company building empty and in ruins alarm you, peeps! It’s all good, because Rain and company have pulled up stakes and moved on up to one of the most prestigious and expensive (if not THE most prestigious and expensive) address in Seoul.
And the agency deserves it, IMHO. (I am wondering what’s going to happen on the site where the building used to be, though…?)
