-The response of recruits in the 1st Platoon attached to the 10th Company –
내가 훈련받고 있는 곳에 비있다 ㅋㅋ 지금까지 두 번 정도 봤다.
There is Bi (Jung Ji Hoon) in the unit where I serve..keke.. I’ve seen him a couple of times.
비가 언제 떠날지 모르겠네 ㅠㅠ 요번에 다른 중대 수료하고서 연예병사로 빠진다고 언제 떠날지 모르겠어 ㅋㅋㅋ
난 코앞에서 비의 미소를 받기롱~
I don’t know when Bi (Rain) is going to leave ㅠㅠ They say he’ll transfer to a different department in which he will serve as an entertainment soldier. He even smiled at me right under [his nose? ^@@^]~
비는 중대가 틀려서 우리 훈련은 담당안하고 가끔씩 밥먹으러 나갈 때 봐, 근데 나는 딱한번 봤다..
Rain and I serve in different companies, so he isn’t in charge of breaking in new recruits including us, but sometimes my mates see him whenever they go for meals. I just saw him once.
5사단 신교대에 비(정지훈) 있다.
There is Bi (Jung Ji Hoon) in a recruit training center belonging to the 5th Division.

-The response of recruits in the 3rd Platoon attached to the 10th Company –
나 그리고 비봤다 말도 했다..
I saw Bi (Rain) and even talked to him.
비 정지훈이 여기서 생활하고 있다.사진이랑 실물이랑 많이 다르긴 한데 참 훈남이다.. 지금까지 세 번 봤는데 연예인이라고 별꺼 없는 것 같다.. 오늘 날짜는 2월 25일이다..
Bi (Jung Ji Hoon) is serving here. I think his picture is quite unlike him, but he is a man of great charm. I’ve see him twice, and I think there is no great difference between celebrities like him and ordinary people. Today is February 25.
난 여기서 비도 보고 조교들도 착하고 좋아 ㅋㅋ
I see Bi (Rain) and teaching assistants here, and they are good-hearted guys…keke.
이곳에 월드스타 비가 있어요..밥먹고 나오면 정지훈이 족구하고 있어요 ㅋ
There is world star Bi (Jung Ji Hoon or Rain) here. Oftentimes, I see Jung Ji Hoon playing foot volleyball when I come out of the cafeteria building after meal..ke..
우리 부대에 비있다..ㅋㅋ 열쇠부대에서 보고 싶으면 니도 입대해라
There is Bi in the same unit as me,,keke..If you want to see him in unit Key, you should try to join the army for yourself.
나 비 (정지훈)하고 같은 건물에서 밥먹어. 신기해 악 ㅋ
I eat in the same building as Bi (Jung Ji Hoon).. Amazing! Wow! ke..
참 그리고 우리 부대에 정지훈이랑 써니힐 남자 있다.. 둘 다 봤는데 정지훈은 실물 역시 진짜 쩔더라 ㅋ ㅋ바로 코 앞에서 질리도록 보고 있다..
Ah! there are Jung Ji Hoon and pop group SunnyHill’s member [Jang Hyun ^@@^] in my unit. I’ve seen both of them, and Rain looks as impressive in actuality as he does on TV.. keke..I’ve seen him too many times, before my very eyes.
비 밥먹을 때 정면으로 한번 제대로 봤었음..역시 연예인이긴 하더라..
I looked Rain straight in the face when he had a meal. He’s just the celebrity.

비는 뭐 티비랑 비슷해 어깨 개넓음 ㅋ ㅋ
Rain looks as impressive in actuality as he does on TV. He has very broad shoulders..keke..
비조교님은 사람 많이 오는 날은 모습 안보이시니까 절대 못볼 꺼고..
Since teaching assistant Bi (Rain) never lets it show when many visitors come to the unit, you will never be able to see him.

Yes, so they say he was in Itaewon with Bbaekga. And so they say in the accounts that he was in the unit on such and such days. My point being readers have to take ALL Rain sightings and accounts on whatever media with a grain of salt because anybody out there could be wanting to impress people. Or not. Just sayin’. (Not being a party pooper here. Enjoy these things, they’re fun. Just don’t swear by them because you really don’t know.)
What I’m hoping is that he never gets in any hot water with the military for being somewhere he didn’t specify or merely went to on the spur of the moment. I mean what a drag, trying to be incognito all the time because you know somebody out there is going to offhandedly let the military know EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE, when and at what time, every time you’re seen. Poor thing.

Exactly. No, you’re not a party pooper at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if he told his peeps not to visit at all, even though you KNOW they will. He’s the type that would sacrifice that way….you know just to keep “confusion” down. Human nature is typical. For as many soldiers that love his presence, there are probably one or two who are not so enamored. (SMILES)

@ felisshi,
Naw, I don’t think it’s him being shy (the not being seen in public with visitors). I think that it IS him being aware of his celebrity and trying to keep the public (his fellow soldiers) at arms length during his time with friends. You know how we all get “relaxed and crazy” when are with our buddies or friend girls? We are no longer our “prim and proper” selves. Well I’m sure he wants to chillax like that too without everybody staring at him. So his visitors probably get to visit him in a more private area.
Rain in the army is like how it would be if the late MJ was in the army. Who Doesn’t know him? Who wouldn’t stare at him? He can’t Be normal even when he tries to/wants to be. (SMILES) What’s really funny to me, is the one or two soldiers who try to “throw a little shade” his way, but in a “nice” way. The one that said his picture is unlike him, but HEY at least he’s charming…ain’t no big deal between him (celebrity) and me (ordinary people). *SMILES*

Thanx for sharing these soldier messages! I always love reading notes like these, because they make me happy to hear about our PRINCE!

Interesting news, but he was in Seoul on march 4, with Bbaek Ga in the Italian restaurant and now I read that he is already back in the unit, the news are spreading fast…Sometimes I am wondering if those military acquaintances just want to impress people with those affirmations , but that does not means he is already back in the unit. Vacation ended so soon?:))Tnx Cloud USA!

They are not fans but they are just excited as we are. One soldier mentioned that if we want to see Rain in the same unit key, we should join the army. Believe me, if only I could, I would. Bi has always been one who wants to be treated as equal like the others so when visitors come, being the celebrity that he is, he doesn’t show himself in public… too shy I guess and he doesn’t want to create a scene.
Thanks for sharing…. at least we get to hear some news about him first hand; and not by the press…hehehe ! ! !
