South Korean star Rain adjusting well to army life
SEOUL — Fans wept as he was drafted into the army last month but South Korean pop sensation Rain is apparently adjusting well to military life.
Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-Hoon, will become an assistant instructor next month at the boot camp which he entered in October, the defense ministry said Wednesday.
“Assistant instructors are chosen based on outstanding training results and their willingness, and Jung has shown that,” a ministry spokesman told AFP.
Rain was recently also named top marksman at the camp.
The 29-year-old singer has a huge following across Asia.
Many fans, including hundreds from elsewhere in Asia, burst into tears when he entered the camp to start his 22-month mandatory military service.
South Korea, which has remained technically at war with North Korea since their 1950-1953 conflict, requires all eligible men to serve in the military, although candidates can defer their service.

he’s a chameleon who blends perfectly well with his surroundings. he may seem playful and childish in variety showns and behind the scenes/reality footages, but when you give him a job, he does it with laser-like focus and passion that inspire even the most focused/passionate people in the industry. hope he stays the same^^ we’re so darn lucky to have an angel like him who makes us proud always, even without him knowing. <333

It’s not a suprise that JuHoon is not just adjusting well but also doing a excellent job in the army.His top performance on everything he does with a attitude of putting his the best to the best is always making us love him even more. 21 months more to go and it may seen to be long but we will be Waiting For Rain.
Best regards to JiHoon
Thank you

I’m not surprise AT ALL he’s adapting so well cuz he’s down to earth, a true leader, humble and a smart man. What surprised me was his marksman skills cuz it seems that Rain has eagle eyes too!! Lol!! I think the ROK army choose well giving him the opportunity to assist in training. Rain is a wise man with many skills and I’m sure he can improve that training to make it even more effective. Go Rain!!! 🙂
