[video link][Eng trans] Rain at the Love of Country Walkathon with Seoulite. (1/19/13)

So, the military had originally told reporters that they would be able to interview Rain that day? Really?? Wow. Whoever put a stop to that didn’t find that in the least amusing, I’m sure. And you wonder why we scream about him being unfairly used all the time instead of them letting him just be Corporal Jung. O__o

Singer Rain serving in the army appeared at his first official event for the first time after his probation period. The event was crowded with thousands of reporters and fans. When reporters asked him questions on his current status after he was submitted to a disciplinary measure, he wouldn’t answer any of them.
0:15~0:35
Corporal ‘Jung Ji Hoon’ known as Rain, who was disciplined for dating with his girlfriend and actress ‘Kim Tae Hee’ while off the base for official military duties, showed himself in public four days after his probation period.
This event was to look back upon an attack which happened in 1968 when armed agents infiltrated into the country.
0:37~0:56
[Rain] : “I’ve come to participate in the event that is to look back upon “1.21 Attack” which happened 45years ago when armed agents infiltrated into the country. With many citizens of Seoul in attendance, I’ll do my best to do my duties. Loyalty!”
0:58~1:14
It was plain to see Rain was nervous throughout the event, and no matter what reporters asked, he didn’t say a word while walking along the areas where the armed agents infiltrated. When asked how he would serve in the army for the remainder of his military serve, he just said the same thing, “I’ll try harder from now on.”
1:15~1:23
[Rain] : “Thank you very much for inviting me along, and I think what is important is not the outcome of the game but participation. I’ll do my best. Thank you. Loyalty!”
1:26~28
[A reporter] : “This is your first official event after your probation period. Please say a few words about it.”
1:29~1:39
Military authorities, who originally notified reporters that there would be an interview with Corporal Jung, were keeping him, isolating him from reporters throughout the event.
1:40~
Military authorities expressed, “There’s a lot of controversy about what entertainment soldiers have received preferential treatment, so we are being careful about this.” However, there is widespread criticism of their policy to use the solider at the center of the controversy, not long after his probation period, for publicity purposes.

Of course he had to answer some questions but, it is really hard to ignore reporters because of the persistants . They should have just let him be alltogether.. But, then no pay and no survival .. I think reports can over due it sometimes.
