Rain told him to stay strong. And he did.
Who would have known, back in 2005, that the young kid overwhelmed by Rain’s presence and hanging onto Rain’s every word would grow up to be… Jun-Ho, of 2PM? Who knew? Rain advised him and the other teens on that Rainy Day in Thailand: “Rather than being handsome, it is better to have a face with character.” And “If you ever give up, if you ever quit, that’s it. Nothing will come after that.” Jun-Ho might have been terribly shy, but he was obviously smart because he burned those words into his memory, made it through the harsh discipline of being under JYP, » fought off the cruelty of many everyday rumors, and turned himself into this:

These moments, back during Rain’s Rainy Day tour, may have helped give Jun-Ho that extra strength. The amazement shining in all of these children’s faces was, indeed, a sight to behold.
Incidentally, there are times when Jun-Ho doesn’t really look like Rain… and then there are times when you would swear the two were separated at birth. When I ran across the cute picture I’ve put at the top of this post, I originally grabbed it because I thought it was RAIN. Nope. Jun-Ho, taken by Chan-Sung.

(second vid) this is one of so many things i love about Rain. very few of us can thrive or learn how to continue on in life when others are saying negative things to and about you.
most of us would start feeling insignificant and worthless. it’s a hard battle to fight when there’s no help. you do learn to depend on yourself. (a lesson Rain was forced to learn) isn’t that a sad thing to realize someone said things to emotionally scare you? while never offering words of encouragement? Rain’s a STRONG, STRONG person. i know people who have crumbled under this kind of stuff. i hope he continues being blessed.
