So far, JiHoon has 3728 Yellow Ribbons for Rain and counting! Thanks so much, everyone! PLEASE keep spreading the word so that the Yellow Ribbon for Rain Brigade continues to grow and grow. Eventually the time will come when he is finally allowed very limited sessions online, or he might have to wait until he gets leave. There is no telling how far off or how soon that might happen, so let’s keep our heads level about that—this is only his sixth week as a military man, after all. Let’s just make sure he sees LOTS of Yellow Ribbons For Rain whenever that time does come for him. Let’s surprise him with a united global Brigade he can be proud of!
You can see Private JiHoon’s first letter to his Clouds and fans HERE, in our previous post. ♥
° EDITED TO ADD 11/20: For information on where to write JiHoon presently, please go to our information post HERE.
Oh, happy day! Five full weeks of boot camp are over and done, and JiHoon’s father tweeted to us all today about his excitement over seeing his son at the upcoming graduation ceremony. Boy, what a tearjerker that’s going to be, for sure. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they’ll have someone take a great picture of them together for Tweeting. I mean that would simply be spectacular.
See you later on in the week, dear fans!
° EDITED TO ADD 11/17: You can see pictures hot off the presses of JiHoon’s basic training graduation ceremony, which happened today the 17th, HERE, and HERE. And his family’s tweets are HERE. Now that boot is done and he has received a unit achievement citation, the word is he will have three more weeks of training (probably for his new position and specialized stuff) and then take his formal place as the ROK Army’s newest Assistant Training Officer in mid-December, right when his eight weeks of training are supposed to be up.
This is early information, so if there are any changes to it, we’ll be sure to update you. Thanks.
Rain is Eternal. Where clouds stay gathered, rain will always come. It is inevitable.

ARHG!!!! Stephe I love you girl!!! Love these picts!! Thanks for posting!! 😀 Rain looked soo Ughnn sexy!! Oh man, Rain is THE MAN in so many ways!! He’s my baby and I’m soo proud of him! As I keep watching dramas and knowing other korean actors, they can’t get close to Rain’s amazing acting skills. I enjoy these dramas, they are amazing too but Rain can deliver soo much power and layers in his interpretation of a character that there’s no contest!! Rain is the best!! I can’t wait to see him in a drama or movie again!!

I cannot put into words how proud I am of JiHoon right now. I could barely post the graduation pics when I saw them. I was lightheaded and out of breath, just lying back in my chair trying to function. It was rough! LMAO WTH
GAH, he looks more handsome and capable and delicious than he’s ever looked on any drama or movie set EV-VAH. Real life trumps reel life, yo!

Hey Mari,
Wasn’t it you that mentioned “Boys Over Flowers” k-drama? If so, I thought I’d watch it when I read that and I am so Hooked! I Love it. Those are some Hot guys. Lee Min Ho my F4 of choice (SMILES). Thanks for the tip. I have a lot of k-dramas to watch apparently.

OH Yes Bia you are gonna LOVE Boys over Flowers!! Argh!! I started to see it cuz they are showing it in Puerto Rico on a local channel and I am soo hooked too!! Lee Min Ho is great, not as good as Rain but he has potential. You can see him in City Hunter and he is soo good in it!! I’m watching that one too and is AWESOME!! Boys over Flowers is really well done, they filmed on amazing places in Asia, the fashion the F-4 show is georgeous and the chemistry between them and the girls is steaming hot!! I fell in love with Kim Bum the guy that do pottery and Kim Hyun Joong, the blond one. They are so handsome and are amazing singers too!! I found the music of the drama in Itunes, there are two albums, Boys over Flowers and F-4 Special Edition.

Yeah I’m watching it on YT right now. I’ve been watching it the last three days. Cramming it all in. I don’t compare anybody to Rain, just like I didn’t compare anybody to MJ. Some entertainers there is no comparison for, so why try? (SMILES) I just judge entertainers as I come to know them. Yes, they are ALL really handsome and Fly, but Lee Min Ho is closer to my ideal. City Hunter is next on the list. (SMILES) Oh and Kim Hyun Joong I remember, because there’s a lady on another site I visit that is SO GONE on him. (SMILES) Anyway, I’ll get back to watching.

Yes I know you are right, I shouldn’t compare Rain with Lee Min Ho cuz I’m soo bias to Baby Boo!! Lol!! No but really, Lee Min Ho is really good. If you think that his interpretation of Jun Pyo is good wait till you see him in City Hunter, right now I’m going nuts with him!! Argh!! He’s mature, stronger, manly and his skills as an actor/action hero are much better. I’m impressed cuz he do a lot of fighting and
stunts in City Hunter and he’s good. Also there are a bit of kissing and he’s pretty good at that too!! I rewinded that kiss over and over!! Lol!!
