[past fan accounts] At the same moment he lifted up his face – and it’s him, Rain!

Note: It makes perfect sense to me that he would be very polite and gentle but with that kind of look in his eye. The Korean media and paparazzi are cutthroat, and sometimes fans can be cutthroat out of a clear blue sky. As a celebrity, you never know what anyone’s going to do to you or say to you in public, so you’d best be on guard. (And he’d already been through so much by then.)
I’ve added some “Bad Guy” and “Lotte Star Avenue” eye candy to this post, completely for gratuitous reasons. You’re welcome. 🙂 ^@@^

1. http://gall.dcinside.com/list.php?id=t_ara&no=588485 This one was dated 2010.4.27. Brief translation:
We saw from our car someone who looked like Rain so we turned and followed him. When we were at our target man we tried to verify if he is Rain. At the same moment he lifted up his face – and it’s him, Rain! We couldn’t help exclaiming how handsome he is. He looked so sexy when he ate a skewer of fish cakes. And he ate 10 of it!! He surely enjoyed food. I like man who enjoyed food^^ And his body is strong ^^

I have seen many celebrity artists, if I have to choose 3 “top stars”, then Rain surely is one of them. When I saw him in tv when he just debuted, it had not occured to me at all that he was good looking. I just hadn’t thought about whether he had a handsome face or not. However when I saw him in person at the Lotte department store, his body was slim, his shoulders were broad, and he’s tall. He looked really handsome than I had expected and his pose was great. There was a murderous? look in his eyes but when he spoke, he was so tender and gentle.

Of all the celebrity artists I have seen, Rain is one of my choices who carries “celebrity artist” to its best. I saw him even before he was tagged as “world star”. His physique is really good, his shoulders look so handsome, and he is slimmer than he appears in tv. He has good skin and his eyes are not as swollen as I had expected. You just couldn’t take your eyes off him as he posed there. His face is smaller than I expected and he really is much more handsome than I had expected.

I honestly think Bi Rain was taken by surprise and he adjusted accordingly.
How would you feel with strangers always in your face, fans or not gawking?
He recovered nicely and his personality shown through. He’s like that, surprised or whatever he has learned to recover positively. Can’t say that for all well-known performers.

I’ve viewed some of his earlier performances where Bi Rain a little thicker but proportioned buying feel whether slender or thick Rain takes good care of himself, practice healthy habits as we see by his flawless skin and clear eyes and his charasmic personality and dance moves to die for! God bless him is my prayer.

I’d just like to say since I first saw JiHoon in NA and found cloudUSA among other blogs I’ve noticed in several pictures JiHoons face had been altered and a few weren’t even him. Hahahaha I’ve only once said something because frankly I just figured everyone would see what I was seeing, that for whatever the purpose, joke? Or just to see if we’re paying attention? IDK? Well apparently not everyone was noticing? Anyway I guess this is why some are so surprised? Myself I wouldn’t be shocked at this mans extreme beauty inside and out. JiHoon has been blessed in so many ways and hes also a very thoughtful person as well. I’ve said it so many times JiHoon my sweet friend your an AWESOME person. I’m so very proud of you. 💭💖☔

Thanks Stephe. In photos of him sometimes I see an intense gaze and I wonder if this is what the fan saw. I just can’t imagine Rain having a “murderous look” in his eyes. But I guess that was just how it looked to her.
