Rain in the eyes of his team members

The Army’s cafe has posted many letters from other trainee solders who are in the same unit as our prince. Some of them mentioned about our prince^^ We gained lots of information from them!
Big thanks to the diligent Chinese clouds 卡机马门 http://weibo.com/1802043831 and WW-2013 http://weibo.com/1572738474 and many others if I have overlooked. They compiled and translated the Korean into Chinese. Please give them full credit when post this elsewhere.

From No. 10 trainee soldier: Jihoon brother, just like the kind brother next door, he is the brother next door ~~ but very cool.
Second letter from No. 10 trainee. He said there is a reward and punishment point system in the army. If you get 15 points per week then you are allowed to make a 3-5 minutes phone call. He only got 7, 8 points this week. In their hall only Jihoon brother got 15 points. He said Jihoon brother is amazing, very kind, very cool. He’s like a brother next door, but outside he is a world star. “I eat and talk by his side.. it’s only possible here..”
From No. 34 trainee: 35 trainee soldiers stay in one large house, so everyday they do things together, like 35 of them going to shower.. He slept close to our prince so he could see our prince’s sleeping face everyday. He said Bi brother is a nice man. Bi brother told them on their graduation ceremony he will sign for all of them, and will take photo with all of them.
Another letter: “Jihoon brother is really nice, just like a kind hearted brother next door… But, wow.. his body is just great… His height may be 185 cm.. totally cool.
There were similar letters about our prince being like a kind hearted brother next door, without the pretentious air of a world star..
Information from Korean fans on the reward/penalty point system:
Each soldier will start with 0 point. To gain points you have to: 1. volunteer to be on duty, 2. transform the boring, restless atmosphere during spiritual education, 3. give up and offer your chocolate pie to others, 4. finish your action loud and sound and fast during training, 5. positive attitude at training.
Korean fans also found out from the letters of other trainee soldiers that our prince was chosen as the leader of trainee soldiers (the leader of the whole Squadron 12 trainee soldiers). So he has to set example for everything. He has to stand up whenever something major happens, and he has to be responsible for many things. He has to provide feedback to the army about his squadron. If anything goes wrong with the squadron, he has to take the blame and penalty. He will get compensation leave, but then he will have to be on night duty.
The squadron leader was by recommendation from the trainees, and then selected if the person agrees.
Over…
Feel so so proud of our prince! Feel so so proud being his cloud!

LOL,
Going to be interesting, indeed.
I especially thought recruit #34’s was the funniest comment–how he said he slept close to Rain so he could “see his face every day?” ROFL. How in the world is Ji Hoon handling that kind of rapt attention from these guys every single day? I mean, I’m sure he’s used to the attention and all, but in the past he’s always had security keeping the most bumfuddled fans at bay. And these guys are right NEXT to him doing that, watching every move he makes, invading his personal space. I know that would drive me crazy. I just don’t know how he does it.
I mean apparently Rain has this special aura or something, that makes people go bonkers over him. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. It’s just incredible. The more I read about it the more worried I get about what MY reaction will be if I ever get to see the guy in person. (Lord, PLEASE don’t let me make a fool of myself. LOL.)

You can forget it Terri, it’s GONNA happen. We will all lose our natural minds if he was 2 ft. away. I’ve already “given up the ghost” on that one. Yeah, the whole staring at me while I sleep thing, would creep me the hell out too (SMILES). You know it will wake you up, when you feel somebody’s presence that close to you. (HA!) I can see Bi now, waking up….(*stretch…yawn…stretch…scratch…startled…GEEZ dude What the???*)…..SMILES

Aw, thanks Dianne. You are so kind.
I wish we had had more time to visit, but the road home beckoned. Like Stephe said–thanks SO much for your hospitality. It was a delight finally meeting you in person, as well as your hubby. (What a nice guy! :-})
I especially enjoyed checking out your lovely home and your incredible Rain stash. I was particularly envious of your “Rain’s First Drop.” Wow. Too bad you had the sense enough to check our purses as we left. Darn it! ;-}
Ladies, FYI, Dianne was Cloud USA’s second member way back in the day. Yep. So we were excited that we were able to fit a quick visit with her in our schedule.
(We were also thrilled to meet even more of our Cloud USA members in NYC. But more on that later…)
