CUSAWeiIGTwitterOkay, y’all. There I was, deep into one of my DramaFever K-dramas, one eye on The Grinch Who Stole Christmas on the telly, sipping a steaming cup of cinnamon tea with lemon and honey, happy as a tick on a hound… when I made the fateful decision to take a second to check my phone.

I picked it up. Swiped to my Twitter highlights. And…

boom

My head (figuratively) exploded.

The rest is kind of a blur.

I vaguely remember snatching at my headphones, getting tangled in the wires and nearly ripping my ear off. My tea went one way, my glasses flew off the other, and I think I cursed in a couple of languages.

Man!

You can put a Cloud in the hospital like that, Hoonie. 몸짱! (Momzzang!) All buff and stuff!^^

I don’t know what possessed you to take up thy selfie stick today, but we are mighty thankful. Thank ya! 🙂 ❤

[from Rain][on rumors][2 trans] “…I will tell you myself directly.” (11/20)

large*Edited to add 11/21: A great squawking arose over one of the translations of Rain addressing the rumors of his non-wedding (what a surprise).

So. I’m adding a second translation to this post for more clarification. (I got the first translation from a commenter on Rain’s IG post, not from Allkpop. I stopped reading Allkpop years ago.)

Sometimes, when Rain speaks, his main point (the Big Picture) is totally missed because of people being all deep in their feelings and sipping haterade like it’s southern iced tea. His main point here is if he gets married, he will respectfully tell us out of his own mouth so don’t get worked up. Because of the language barrier, HOW he said it can be debated until the cows come home with all sides declaring why they are right. *sigh* * SMH* ^@@^

Translation by IG commenter rjanemr @ Rain’s IG:

“Hello… This is Rain, Jung Ji Hoon.

The weather has become very cold.. Everyone, please be careful and don’t catch a cold. It’s just that up till now, many articles related to a wedding have come out, and it seems like we have made a lot of people confused. I’m uploading this post because I think it’s right that I tell you myself. Marriage is an important matter of life and it is a big deal for the people concerned. It’s a very important matter, and if we decide to do something big, I will tell you myself directly. I consider that to be my etiquette towards my long-time fans and to you all. From now on, unless I say so from my own mouth, please don’t believe [other reports].

Thank you.”

1476-4442-Maroon-Qpop-logo-02As was announced earlier in the month, Rain (a.k.a. Jung JiHoon) is coming down on the rooftops in Queensland.

He arrived Down Under via Brisbane Airport yesterday and received the warmest of welcomes, fit for a king. The players involved in that welcome and in this newest Queensland tourism campaign for South Korea were front, center, and more excited than ducks on a June bug.

They were waiting for him to get off the plane, y’all. Then they got that Twitter Itch. Heck, we don’t blame them one bit. 🙂

Thanks for choosing Rain and showing him such hospitality, TEQ, and for being so gracious to his fans online. ❤

I think you’ll find that he is the man for the job.^@@^

Let’s take a quick look back and see what was going on in the Rainiverse and in Rain’s career, shall we?

Yesterday on 11/8, 국제뉴스 (International News) Global 24 published an article about Rain’s concerts in Seoul this coming December 11 – 13.

The gist: These three concerts are confirmed and will have special meaning to him because of how long it’s been since Rain brought a full solo concert stage to his domestic fans in Korea… The concerts are officially a part of The Squall World Tour 2015 – 2016… and they will take place at Seoul Jamsil Olympic Park’s SK Handball Arena in Bangi-dong (neighborhood), Songpa-gu (district).

The reporter also mentions Rain’s plans to take the tour all around Asia and to Australia and the Americas.

newspaperOnly the Chinese leg of the Rain Asia Tour “The Squall” has been nailed down at the time of this post.

No other countries, cities, or dates have been negotiated yet, but are in the works, so stay tuned. (*Please note: The concerts set at the Warner Theater in Washington D.C. on March 8 – 9 next year are not 비 Rain. His picture has been mistakenly posted by ticketing websites instead of the Beatles tribute band, also named RAIN.)

He has confirmed that he’s coming our way, so we’re all good. We will happily wait for dates and anticipate him around next summer or fall. (Pssst… hey, Hoonie, don’t forget Europe! Your European Clouds remember when you came to Germany in 2011 and are dying to see you again!^^) 🙂 ^@@^

AEN20151103001700315_01_iSEOUL, Nov. 3 (Yonhap) — South Korean actor and singer Rain will embark on a world tour later this week, starting in China, his management agency said Tuesday.

The 33-year-old will start in Changsa of Hunan province on Saturday and stop at various parts of the country, including Shenzhen, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and Nanning, R.A.I.N. Company said.

The tour will also take him to Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia from next April to May before he crosses the Pacific to perform in Australia and the Americas.

The singer is also scheduled to release a single and hold concerts in Seoul next month.

“I hope to put on a show that is more passionate than flashy like in the past,” he was quoted as saying by the agency, which he founded last month after leaving Cube Entertainment.
