Rain check #2.
— Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^
Rain’s face may be his fortune, but his expressions are fascinating to NO end… especially when you catch the natural ones as opposed to the business ones. You know what I’m talking about—the expressions that make you feel as if you’re looking directly at JiHoon, the man underneath.
We’ve seen a truckload of images of Rain at the J.VJQ press con in Beijing… but not until I saw these did I realize that JiHoon was there too. And Cloud China and China RainBar were in Tha House!

The fifth pic…so adorable. He has that “I’m innocent” look. He doesn’t strike you as somebody who sings about magic sticks and tears open his shirt on stage. I like that about him, his character being complex and all.

How funny that u posted about this. Stormy and I were discussing this very thing the day the first pics from this press con came out. He definitely has a business face (what a good way to put it) and i would say it’s usually characterized by what I like to call his “bland fake smile”. He was certainly enthused and interested to be at this press con coz he was giving real smiles and expressions for a lot of it. Such a nice thing to see.

@Stephe – How funny, I was just thinking something similar after watching the videos of this ceremony…. , and now here’s a post.
I was thinking about what it must feel like to sit in a room with over 95% of the people speaking a language that you do not understand, and they are all taking about you, etc… (okay, maybe he gets about 7% since he has been studying Chinese for a little while). You are reliant on a Translator, and conversations and different activities are happening around you very quickly. (I will save my thoughts on the art of translating for another time, I’ll just say that to do it effectively and quickly, can be a difficult task at times.
Now having shared all that, my immediate thoughts were JiHoon is a true PROFESSIONAL. He has to stay “ON” (i.e., his business face) almost all the time. Not only for these events/ceremonies, but also when he is out and about, so his facial expressions are not misconstrued. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not implying that JiHoon isn’t genuine. It’s just that some of the harmless daydream trances that we can sometimes fall into for a second, or a thought crosses our mind about something and you unconsciously frown or look spacey, or bored… JiHoon doesn’t always have that luxury regardless of how tired, harried, bored, hungry, or whatever is truly running across his mind at time. Sometimes however, we do catch glimpses of those off moments… I love it… 🙂

You’re right about that! Absolutely right. And he does really well at never getting into trouble with that. He really is something. I just don’t know how he does it.

@chisun,
I just left a comment in the forum last night regarding this very issue with celebrity and Ji-Hoon among other things as well. If it was me, I would’ve gotten myself in trouble a long time ago. Rolling of the eyes when I’m tired, would have been my “speciality.” Pic #4 (holding the mic with “twisted/pursed” lips, like a fidgety little boy…..priceless! SMILES). Pic #5 (mischievious smile…..”Yep, I’m the man!”….his look seems to say) cracks me up.
Ji-Hoon is truly a “character”…..I would LOVE to know what’s really going through his mind at these things. THAT would be an awesome conversation!…….(SMILES)
