4/13/2020. It’s collaboration time! R.A.I.N. Company and Sublime Artist Agency have signed an MoU to collaborate on Rain’s activities and those also under his management (a.k.a. the boy band he is presently producing). I like the look of SAA and how they keep their social media updated. If indeed they’ve already been on board the Rain Train for good minute with all these 2020 ambassadorships coming to fruition, I’d say this is a WIN. An icon of Rain’s caliber has a lot of plates up in the air and needs a LOT of management. Sometimes, one company just isn’t enough! ^@@^

4/9/2020. Adorable Rain posted a video message on his Weibo account, YAY ๐ฅฐ In his post, he wrote (as best I can tell): “Hello, everyone. I’m Rain, spokesperson of the brand GRE-KRITI. I’m really happy and proud to represent this very beloved beauty brand. Please protect yourselves at this particular moment. Beauty and love are always with us, look forward to meeting you!” I’m relieved to see him smiling and safe. Aren’t you? ๐โค ^@@^

3/24/2020. I was watching a YouTube video about bad photoshopping of shoulders and ran across this, to my surprise! Two things to note — ๐ธ๏ธthe YouTuber indicates Rain in his “Raizo” form is an example here of a realistic body shape and NO photoshopping ๐๐พ๐ and ๐ธ๏ธI like how he’s referred to as “Korean actor Rain” when most people only acknowledge his pop star status, you know? YESSS๐ ^@@^
3/23/2020. Longtime friend Kevin Ra posted these photos of Rain for sponsor Health Helper after the original releases. Handsome is as handsome does, y’all! ๐ ^@@^
