{*ETA:   Holy cannoli, he’s going to put his recruit-mates on an exercise regimen. Poor things! They are doomed. LOL! And what’s this? There isn’t a woman in the world who can resist him? Okay, I’ll give him that one. ROFL! ^@@^}

This is part career-introspection and part “where he is now.” Prepare to laugh when: 1) The bubbly host starts breaking down “Busan Woman” in the airport, 2) when she gets WAAAAY too close to his nipple LMAO!, and 3) when he starts hugging the girl group cut-outs. LOL!

You won’t laugh, however, when you see how upset BbaekGa was at JiHoon’s enlistment. Aw, poor dear. ♥

We send Rain’s father, sister, family, friends, hyungs, little Eagle brothers, and the General all our love and support. Fighting!

4:27
Guest : That shirt was sold a lot at that time (laughing)

4:29~4:55

In second place is that dance movement.

5:05~
– The work was the beginning of his fame –

5:11~5:29

5:33

5:50~6:10
Rain : I think I was up at night making the song.
This is a simple movement which indicates the start of the song by striking my palm and fist together repeatedly.
Actually, It was created while I was kidding around and joking.

Rain : I was able to get the royalties from the song for the first time.

6:19

Rain ; I’m second to none in kneeling down before them, (in giving a complete obedience to their authority) I’ll do whatever they say.

6:45
R : Your future senior soldier has all but had a stroke of luck.

6:46~6:51
R : Many stars are encouraging you via videos

6:52
Rain : Please tell me who they are.

6:56
R : “Oppa (Rain), please don’t forget that we are always by you” from Girl Generation.

6:58

Rain: I want to set up a health group for soldiers in the army.
I plan to make them exercise to strengthen their stomach muscles for 30 minutes before they go to bed every day, for 2 hours every Sunday, each.

7:26~49
Rain : I’ll be ‘Jung Ji Hoon’ (Rain) who works hard in a more mature manner.
Entering the army at my age makes me embarrassed and sorry.
It’s true that I feel pressure from the overmuch concern on my entering the army.
Anyway, I’ll be back after working hard to serve in the army well.
Please be happy and healthy..I’ll see you one year and nine months later.
