[From Rain] Our Soldier Boy is enlisting on October 11.
— Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^
{*Edited to Add: You can read 10Asia’s 9/23 article, Rain To Enter Military On October 11, HERE. ^@@^}
The time that we all knew was coming a year and a half ago is now upon us. Rain has released his enlistment date as October 11th on his official site. He says that he just got confirmation himself this morning.
It’s all right—you all can cry if you need to. I won’t scold you. My own stomach feels like a burning lump right now. But it’s going to be okay. He’s going to fine, he won’t disappear, we’ll still have fun, and we’ll be planning his Coming Home Shindig before you know it, so start chilling the champagne!
I was just telling Terri tonight that I wished he would go ahead and tell the date as soon as he knew it and put everyone out of their misery, so that we could all move forward with him. And he up and does it. Thank you, JiHoon dear! We really appreciate it. ♥ *sigh*

“Hello, this is Jung Jihoon. The fall has finally greeted us. I’m here to tell you that I will enlist in the military on October 11th. I will enlist in active military duty, but I’m not sure where I will go. This morning, my enlistment date was confirmed and I wanted to tell you first.”
“It’s been nearly 10 years since my debut…Because of my fans, I was able to do so many things and value the hard work and glory. I’m entering later than most people, but I will work hard and faithfully to make up for it.”
“I was able to fulfill so many dreams thanks to the fans that cheered me on for 10 years, thank you. I will return as a more mature Jung Jihoon.” -Posted by Jung Jihoon (2011.09.23)

Sigghhh… I’m saddened just like everyone else here. I’m only going to send him tweets that make him feel good, though… Nothing sad coz he doesn’t need that. You know he’s getting enough sadness/meanness to last him a life time.
What I’m the most sad about is that I only discovered him a little over a year ago. Well… now I’ll get to watch all the videos and fancams and dramas that I haven’t watched yet. Thankfully there’s so much stuff to watch! And after 2 yrs he’ll be in L.A.! My cousin works for Imagine entertainment… hopefully they’ll do something with him so I can go visit her… haha.

OMO… SO SOON! I was hoping it would be later, though like all of you, I know it would not be any easier. I am going to remain positive and keep lifting JiHoon and his family up in prayer. I know all will be fine, as this is another chapter in his life. I’ll wait patiently, and will be waiting with open arms for him to return, and come to the U.S. too!
JiHoon is forever my “Korean Boo”

My heart is still acking from thinking about him leaving so soon. I have been fighting off tears all day. I knew it was coming this year but I was really hoping it would not be until December. Even though I still probably would of not been ready to see him go. I have only been able to enjoy Rain for 1 year and a month. So to me it is too soon to have him leave. I am trying to look at the situation in a postive manner but it is so hard. I keep saying to myself I know 2 years will fly by fast. I just pray and send postive thoughts out to Rain that he will do excellent in his training,return safely,stronger,and better. I cannot wait until he return!!!!!!!!

Kongsao,
I don’t know the answers to all of your questions and I’m not sure anyone else here will know all of the answers either. But I will try to answer part of them for you…
1. The first six weeks or so of Rain’s military service will be his “basic training.” That is very similar to the process here in the U.S. Rain will be serving the Army for about 22 months. There is no way to know exactly how long he will be serving, but he is supposed to serve for about 2 years. Hopefully, towards the end of those two years, someone will tell us when he is going to be released from service.
2. Rain has said he will be serving in the ROK Army. Unfortunately, South Korea is still a country technically “at war” with North Korea. There is no way to tell whether or not Rain will ever be sent to the front lines to war. I like to think that the ROK Army would not be stupid enough to send Rain to the front lines to fight, but I don’t know that for sure. I know nothing about the Republic of Korea’s military policies or how or where Rain will be serving during his enlistment period for them.
3. The first few months he will be in training and I believe it’s very similar to the U.S. military, where they are not allowed to have contact with the outside world at all. During that time he will not be allowed to have visitors or to take leave to visit family and/or friends. However, once that training period is over, he should be able to take some breaks now and again, to visit with his loved ones. (And at that point, I believe he will get his cell phone back too…)
4. We don’t know how long his military service will last exactly, but he should be out by the end of 2013–if all goes well. Since Rain has an ongoing contract for 4 years with J.VJQ, a Chinese cosmetics company, I imagine that he will be released to go do some photo shoots for them. He may have other obligations we don’t know about that he will continue to meet as well. I imagine they may let him leave the country for special circumstances, if he gets special permission. However, I doubt they are going to let him do any major concert tours or fan meets or anything like that.
5. As far as I know soldiers only serve in one branch. However, he could also serve in a special unit as well. For example, if he became a special forces soldier (I.e., a covert operations agent or a paratrooper), then that “special” training would be in addition to any “basic” training he would receive. American soldiers usually serve in a “secondary” branch as a “secondary” career track, but I don’t know if Korean soldiers do the same thing. Soldiers work regular work hours, just like everybody else does. They have shifts and things like that. And Rain is a citizen of the Republic of Korea. So, he will be serving in the Republic of Korea’s military.
And that’s all I know. Anyone else?

Wow, NOW it feels real. I want to echo what Lluvi@k0r3ana said and that while it’s not a popular sentiment, I too am glad a date has been set and it’s official when he’ll be going in. I feel the sooner he goes in, the sooner he will come back to us. As far as whether he’ll be on the front lines or not, that is way too “heavy” to even think about. Many of us here have had or do have family, who are military and thinking about Anyone you care about on the front lines is not where you want to take your mind if you can help it. Honestly, Bi ultimately will have to go whereever his superior officers say he will go. However, as Stephe said to us many moons/posts ago, Bi is South Korea’s biggest global ambassador and no doubt they will take that into consideration when giving him his assignment.
As I have said before, I will try my best to only put “good vibrations” out there for him. For those who believe in the power of prayer, as I do, I intend to do exactly that and pray that South Korea stays at peace while Bi is serving. I think that will serve him much more than carrying sadness in my heart, even though I do feel the “heaviness” same as everybody else.
Baby Love, know that you have the love and support of your Clouds worldwide (in the U.S. especially) and that same love and support will be waiting for you when you come back. In the meantime, we’ll extend that support to Papa Jung and Hana and the Boys, as well. This is a different kind of “stage” you are about to perform on, but I have know doubt you will perform on this new stage with the same aplomb. Peace……………………….

He worked hard so he could give his sister an education, a future for her and his dad. It makes me mad that they make him feel ashamed for not being in the military sooner when they know the glory he’s given to Korea during these years.

Those people need to shut up and mind thier own business! They need to live thier own life. Most likely they do not know him personally. So they do not have the right to say when he should of gone. I am sure Rain is not the only person or celebrity who have enlisted at a later age. The government allow a age range for them to enlist. They have the youngest and the oldest age requirement. So what does it matter when he serve. As long as he does serve like he is required to do. So anyone making stupid remarks need to go some where and mind there own life. Stay the hell out of Rain’s life!!!!!

Hi, loridee.
If I’m remembering correctly, you go in the Army first for your six weeks of basic training, and then for active duty (where you’ll actually serve during your term) you’ll either stay in the Army OR go to the Air Force, Marines, or Navy, and you get your actual job in that branch. It doesn’t necessarily mean the front line.

Even though I knew the day would come this still sucks to finally have an official date!!! I was hoping that he would not have to go until like December. I am just not ready for him to go.

I know that Rain is fufilling his responsibilies and I respect him for that. I respect anyone who chooses to go into the military regardless of the country. However, I must admit I still do not agree that a person should be forced to join the military. I feel it should always be a decision the person makes.
Can someone refresh my memory on a couple of things:
1. I know the goverment tell them the date they have to enlist. And they can ask to delay that date like Rain did. However, do they get to choose the branch(army, marines, navy, airforce) they go into? I ask because Rain said he does not know where he is going.
2. When was Rain actually suppose to have enlisted intially?
3. What is the earliest age you can enlist? I ask because Rain said he is enlisting later than most people.
4. What would happen if he did not go?
LikeLike
1. I believe a man can request a certain branch, but that branch and the government have the final say as to where he actually goes…
2. He was originally (tentatively) scheduled for September 2010.
3. I think the earliest is 19, after high school.
4. If he didn’t go, he’d be arrested and charged with draft dodging, and put in jail for a long time, and live in shame afterwards. Technically, S. Korea is still at war with N. Korea and there is only a ceasefire (armistice) in place, which is why they’re so strict.

I’ve been my parents’ caretaker since they fell ill a few years ago, and being a 14-hour flight away, as much as I would have liked to go to Seoul, seemed irresponsible and makes me uncomfortable. I would only want to be a couple of hours away from them at most, in case of an emergency or something. The air fare from Atlanta to Seoul is also alarmingly expensive, which would be pretty irresponsible too when medical care and medicine expenses and just plain ol’ living well should come first.
One day in the future, though, I’m sure I’ll get to see Rain, and South Korea. I just have to be patient, for now.^^
