The » last time we talked about the official Speeding Instinct sub-site on DEMA, it wasn’t much to look at, to tell the truth. It was mostly all text, and about the only decorative thing on it was this thing here:

It didn’t really matter, of course. For Rain and KCM’s new radio show to have a permanent home on the DEMA website at all, where listeners could get information and interact with the show, was pretty awesome. We were as happy as clams.

Well, looks like the sub-site, new as it is, has already had a quick overhall, y’all…! Because now it looks like this:

Talk about Bobble head cuteness overload! 😀 Much, much better than before. Makes you giggle. Listeners leaving messages and comments should like this.

[fan account] Rain’s 3rd Consolatory Train performance: For the Airborne Brigade.

[Fan Acct] Saw Rain today.

Source: 안녕.? / annyeong.? @ DC Inside

English translation: 화니

–Rain performed at live radio show ‘Consolatory Train’ held in the 3rd Airborne Brigade on May 23 –

The distance wasn’t adjusted with my cellphone zoom and the photos didn’t come out. Rain performed two songs, wearing a muscle shirt and blue jeans.

The titles of the songs are beyond recollection..ㅠㅠ

Ah..the first one was Rain (It’s Raining) and the second one was Hip Song.

I am not sure whether that is right or not.. Because I was so excited that I couldn’t remember which song was which.

Anyway, when the MCs said, “Since Rain is a world star, he can perform only one song.” after he disappeared behind the back stage after his first performance, we were extremely disappointed. Then, as the stage lights were suddenly turned off, he appeared on stage again and performed the second song. We shouted, “Encore!”, but he didn’t sing an encore.

After all the performers came forth to receive applause, Rain was the last to go off the stage, then he whipped round and came to the salute so cutely.

Even from men’s point of view, he looked so cool.

It chanced that I saw the outstanding performance, and it was really great.

SONG OF THE WEEK: “My Way” from Rain’s Vol. 5 album Rainism (2008). He describes this song as his autobiography, and indeed it does encapsulate the feelings of a starving young man refusing to compromise and finally reaching his goals and dreams. Yes, JiHoon, you made it. You won! » You can read the “My Way” lyrics HERE on our Lyrics Page 4.

[articles] R2B: Return To Base set to hit the tarmac in August.

•May 22, 2012 • 16 Comments

— Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^

*rolling my eyes*

Yes, of course it’s military lingo, but if it’s anticlimactic and takes all the suspense out of movie-goers’ expectations for the plot— Oh, never mind. If I have to explain that to you, CJ, there’s just no point. *sleeping on it some more, maybe I’ll come around* Let me see it on an official poster. Maybe that’ll help…

I’m only concerned because of general movie-goers who aren’t necessarily fans of Rain or other actors in the film—they need their curiosity pricked and to be enticed with a title that promises to take them on a breathtaking ride. Rain’s fans, not so much. It could be called “The Turd Express” and they would pile into theaters in support of him. (Okay, that was a little over the top, but you get what I’m sayin’. Heheh.)

Rain’s movie undergoes final title change to ‘R2B: Return to Base’

Rain‘s last movie before his army enlistment, ‘Soar: Close to the Sun‘, has finalized a release date and announced a title change.

On May 21st, CJ Entertainment revealed that they would be changing the movie’s title to ‘R2B: Return to Base‘. Representatives stated, “The movie will be undergoing a title change and is scheduled to hit theaters this August. ‘Return to Base’ is army lingo for safe return and is actually said in the movie itself.”

The film also features Shin Se Kyung, Lee Jong Suk, and others. The film was produced by staff members that also worked on ‘Dark Knight‘ and ‘Inception‘.

Stay tuned for more updates!

[clip] Revisiting November 2009: Silver talks “Raizo.”

•May 22, 2012 • 2 Comments

— Written by: Stephe Thornton, Managing Editor ^@@^

Producer Silver, co-star Rick Yune, Rain, and Director McTeigue at the movie premiere in L.A.

Hollywood super-producer Joel Silver, owner of Silver Pictures and co-owner of Dark Castle Entertainment, talks about Rain, producing movie Ninja Assassin, and more in this interview from around the time of Ninja Assassin’s U.S. premiere in November 2009. As we understand it, Mr. Silver will be leaving his 25-year relationship with Warner Bros. studios at the end of this year.

We truly appreciate him giving Rain the shot that he did. Even after Jang DongGun’s starring role in The Warrior’s Way, a South Korean in a leading role in Hollywood is still pretty unheard of, but doggone gutsy and COOL. (For Rain, it’s going to pay off in the long run. Just you watch.)

It will be interesting to see what direction Mr. Silver goes in from here, in 2013. More blockbuster badassery, or retirement?

With his résumé, he’ll be Golden either way.

Ah, yes. I remember it well.

Rain’s gorgeous head of hair was shining like new money and has a life and a mind of its own from the beginning of this video (from his Rain Loves ZEPP Japan Tour) all the way to the very end. Much like Batman’s amazing cape, Beyoncé’s fantastic thighs, and J.Lo’s lovely (boom pow) backside, we just knew that it also had its own separate contract, agent, and representation. LOL! WOW. ♥ Enjoy the hair, all!

And don’t despair. It’ll be back after his military duty is over. In spades. ^@@^

R2B: Return To Base. Hm. Well.

Immediate thoughts: While the R2B letters would look really exciting on the movie poster and grab people’s attention, and my mind loves the visual (think T3: Terminator 3, MIB3: Men In Black III, etc.), “Return To Base” leaves me sort of… flat. After all, when a pilot is “returning to base”, the immediate mission is usually over and he’s okay, moseying on back to headquarters, living to fight another day, so where’s the excitement. Seems anticlimactic. Even “Red Muffler” sounds more exciting because it represents a pilot’s scarf as he flies headlong into a fight. An F-15 returning to base is a lot less stimulating than an F-15 soaring towards the sun on an emergency. (Although after Rain’s character pulls the crazy-ass air show stunt that gets him into deep trouble, returning to base for punishment will be the last thing he’ll want to do. Haha.)

“Lt. Jung TaeHoon” is a maverick/rebel after all, so perhaps the suspense of him not returning to base whenever he’s told and the consequences of his actions is what’s being alluded to. Maybe, after being suspended, his desperate bosses have TaeHoon return to base to attempt a rescue because he is the best, after all. Or maybe the question is being asked, Once the enemy is vanquished, who will and will NOT be returning to base? But there’s no telling. This title could mean anything.

Writers’ sensibilities can be fickle. Maybe I’ll see it in a better light once I’ve slept on it.

I really wish CJ Entertainment would stop dropping the ball and bring their Soar Into The Sun website sub-pages up to speed. Are you marketing a blockbuster or what? Make the thing look good, for God’s sake! Am I missing something? What are you doing?

[Rain] : Have you heard about the Ghost?

[KCM] : No I haven’t,

[Rain] : The people constantly talking to someone on their Smart Phones (iPhones) have been called the Ghost. As the number of Smart Phone users is growing, the adverse effects of the Smart Phone are reaching a serious level. They actually have no one to talk to in the visible world, but we are real-life friends. So please tune in to ‘The Desire To Speed”!

1:08~1:29

[Rain] :The first song was JYP’s ‘You’re the only one’.

[KCM] : I love the song.

1:30~2:37

[Rain] : Listener ‘Hee Dae Min’s comment, “I hope you’ll make the show speed at the maximum speed. (the show will be a lot of fun today).”

Nice day for a long ride. We also want to go on a drive today.

[KCM] : And today is Sunday.

[Rain] : Oh, right!

[KCM] : How I wish I could go out and do something exciting for a change on Sunday !

[Rain]: Too bad, but it’s just one of those things. Ah..I thank ‘Rain Maker’ for the wonderful lunch. The fan club brought us delicious food today, and we really enjoyed the meal. Thank you again. Anyway, as a good neighbor is better than a brother far off, I should be treated better by you.

Thank you so much for coming on our show, and it’s nice of PR soldiers and performers to come all the way down here today. It took nearly six hours to get here. Also, it’s a pleasure and honor for me to be here today.

[Rain] &[KCM] : Rain and KCM’s “The Desire to Speed”!

0:10~0:47

[Rain] : As Kant explains that, “Take a rest after your hard work is worth every penny”, we should work hard on weekdays if we want to find a real pleasure on the weekend.

[KCM] : That’s right! Oh, I’ve just remembered a really nice wise saying by someone.

[Rain] : Let’s stop talking about it. (laughter)

0:48~0:56

[KCM] : Strength of mind results from a workout, not from relaxation.

[Rain] : Why is everything always associated with a workout? Anyway, it’s good to exercise while listening to the radio music, isn’t it?

1:23~2:13

[Rain] : (After Rain corrected KCM’s wrong pronunciation after the song) I think KCM always associates everything with exercise.

[KCM] : Those are UK’s writer Alexander Pope’s words, not mine.

[Rain] : What he said isn’t entirely wrong. Because we can keep healthy and relieve the stress by exercising.

[KCM] : Totally! I think there is nothing like exercising while listening to good music in order to relieve the stress caused by working.

[Rain] : KCM, your pronunciation is not correct today of all days. Did you happen to get drunk?

[article] Word on the street: Soar Into The Sun to premiere in August?

News to be taken with a grain of salt, of course.

It may very well be true. All I’m saying is right at this moment, I don’t see anything official in CJ E&M’s camp yet, such as a Soar Into The Sun tentative release date on the film’s sub-pages on either the Korean or English site. Or an update in their newsletter or line-up. But that could simply be a webmaster problem. You know how that goes. *shrug* Oh well, let’s all just hang loose and see what develops.

Rain′s Film ‘Flight: Close to the Sun’ to Premiere in August

The blockbuster film Flight: Close to the Sun, which Rain finished filming before he entered the military, will be premiering sometime in August.

A rep for the film recently told enews, “The film is in its last stages of production, and is aiming for a premiere during the summer peak season.”

Some within the film industry had brought up the possibility that the film was drifting without a fixed date for release.

The rep clamped down on those rumors, and said, “[The film] is in its last stages of production. It’s just that the schedule was pushed back to hold the premiere at a better time.”

The film, directed by Kim Dong Won of The Housemaid fame, was originally scheduled to premiere near the end of May, but the date was pushed back to August.

This seems to be because the film industry has started to see the summer vacation season as the peak season. Successful and issue-making films such as The Host, May 18, D-War, Haeundae, Take Off, Quick, The Front Line and Sector 7 all met with their audiences in summer.

As such, the release of Flight in August means that the distribution company expects a lot from the film.

Some officials stated about Flight that they “heard there is a possibility the film will be put in a new form through the finishing touches,” and that they’re “looking forward to how it will turn out.”

A cast member from the film also told enews, “Some are voicing concern about the film because its premiere dates have been pushed back, but [the concerns are] not true. They’re probably concerns by some officials who just saw the edited draft version. I heard that the visuals are pretty good.”

The concerns especially seemed to have more ground as the film’s release kept being pushed back even though it had held its press conference at the Busan International Film Festival in October 2011.

Officials said, however, that “the press conference had to take place at that time because of Rain’s enlistment schedule.”

Flight: Close to the Sun is a film about the love and friendship between air force pilots, and stars Rain, Shin Se Kyung, Jung Seok Won, Yu Jun Sang and Kim Sung Soo. Director Kim Dong Won, who produced My Boss, My Hero 2 and City of Damnation, directed the film. The film made issues for costing more than 10 billion won to produce.

[ETA tweet] Rain and KCM’s official Speeding Instinct sub-site on DEMA.

As we understand it, Rain and KCM’s new military radio show, Speeding Instinct, has a new permanent home on the ROK Ministry of Defense’s official website.

It’s in Korean, of course, so for us, looking at it doesn’t really mean a hill of beans, but it sure is nice to know that the new DJs have a place where listeners can get information about their show and see what’s coming up. Wonderful! 🙂

Edited to Add: A tweet from the official Speeding Instinct Twitter about the new sub-site/homepage.

[fan account] It hit me how popular he was.

Rain at the Consolatory Train live military radio show at the Naval Academy yesterday, May 17.

English translation: 화니 @The Cloud Rain News Board

Pfc ‘Kang Chang Mo’ (KMC) was supposed to sing 2 songs, but he is singing third song. Hope Rain will sing 3 songs, too.

1. Today’s Consolatory Train took place in private.

Only naval cadets and their families were allowed access to the venue, but I was able to enter the venue through personal connections. I had to sit in the back seat, where it was impossible to bring it into focus when I took photos of Rain…ㅠㅠ

3. I regret letting down those who were looking forward to seeing pictures of him.

Rain finally appeared on stage after others’ performances [that were ^@@^] boring me.

I started waving a banner and a R-shaped cheering material I brought, standing on my chair. I wonder if he saw them.

4. Rain was wearing a light blue jean, the same beanie as before, and a thin leather jacket. When it was Rain’s turn, the crowd murmured with excitement for an instant, and the cadets who had sit still before that, rose to their feet as soon as he entered. They repeated after Rain in unison with a powerful and resounding voice whenever he produced a refrain, “chupha.”

5. It hit me how popular he was. After Rain’s performance, his 4 dancers were seen being so exhausted from work backstage, and they drove away in the car soon. Before that, when I asked his dancer Sungtack where Rain was, Sungtack answered, “I don’t know either, actually.”

6. I regretted asking the question about Rain, but knew I had to ask about something at that moment. But, I can imagine how hard it must be for Rain.

7. “Park Hyo Shin” became the latest at the live show. Midway through his performance, “Park Hyo Shin” said, “My songs are being performed at the end, but I dare not think of that as long as Rain is in society.”
