이친구….

해외에서 오랜기간촬영하면서

중간중간얘기를해보니.. 참 맑구,밝은청년이다.. 사실,,쫌 놀라기두했다…

어찌보면 어린나이에 많은것을

누리고,경험했으리라..

사람은 원하는걸얻으면

오히려,우울해지구..경솔해지것만.. 본인의일에 누구보다도 정렬적이며.. 지치구,힘들때두,,,

남을배려하는모습은.. 사실,,나이많은 나두 고개가숙여질정도다..

요즘,,말두많구,탈두많을때.. 묵묵히 열심히 연기하는모습을볼때

진정 프로라는생각이든다..  연예인이라서 본인의 의지와는

상관없이 많은일들이터지는것을

그누구보다도 많이본 나로써는.. 비는…잘할꺼라는,,잘이겨낼꺼라는

믿음이 생긴다..

참으로..매력있구,,

본인의일에 정렬적인 이친구를.. 지켜보기로했다… 참으로 오랜만에 밝은아우라를가진

친구를보니..

말많은이바닥,,,

흔들리지말구,,본인의 의지대로

잘해나갈꺼라는,,,

In my talks with this guy (Rain) whenever time allows from the shoot abroad, for a long time I’ve discovered he is a genuine person who has a really bright personality.  As a matter of fact, I’m a little astonished at how well he is doing.  In some ways, I can probably describe him as a person who has enjoyed many things and experienced much since his early age.

When people get what they want, they feel still more blue and act rashly, but he has great dedication to his work under God and is caring although he is also exhausted and feels like a rag.

I can’t help but to take my hat off to this guy who is a lot younger than I am, for the way he does.

I think if there is a true professional, he is the one, when I see him working on in silence even in his recent much-troubled, scandalous status.

As for me who have often watched entertainers being dragged into many scandals regardless of their wills, I think he [can surely make it] through this trial.  I’ve decided to watch this guy who is a man of great charm and has a passion for his career.

Seeing this guy who has an aura of greatness [even] after such a long time, I’m sure he [will] do a great job, relying on his own judgment and dispassionate view of the situation, even in this tumultuous field.

Ti Lung replacing Eric Tsang on upcoming Runaway drama.

•September 3, 2010 • Leave a Comment

HanCinema 9/3/2010 —

Hong Kong actor Ti Lung will be joining the star-studded cast of upcoming KBS TV series “Fugitive”, according to a press release from the show’s producer on Friday.

Ti Lung will be taking on the role of General Wai, who is friends with Ji-woo played by Asian superstar Rain, and a business partner to Kai, played by Korean-American actor Daniel Henney.

The role was originally set to be played by Hong Kong actor Eric Tsang but he dropped out due to a conflict in scheduling.

Ti Lung will be joining Korean actors including Lee Na-young, Lee Jeong-jin and Kong Hyeong-jin, as well as other foreign stars including Japanese actors Naoto Takenaka and Uehara Takako and Chinese actress Josie Ho.

“Fugitive”, helmed by noted TV producer Kwak Jeong-hwan and written by Cheong Seong-il, the creative team behind the hit KBS TV series “The Slave Hunters“, is about a hefty sum of money that appears after 60 years since it disappeared in times of the Korean war.

Ti Lung is well known for studying martial arts and was discovered by the famed Shaw Brothers. His acting career began after his role in the “Return of the One Armed Swordsman” opposite Jimmy Wang Yu.

He continued his movie career by starring in other works such as in John Woo’s “A Better Tomorrow”, “Drunken Master II” and “Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon“.

“Fugitive” will begin its run on September 29.

Wow!  Ti Lung was one of my favorite martial arts actors back in the day.  This is awesome news, though it is unfortunate about Eric Tsang.

Word on the street: Rain’s military enlistment postponed?

•September 2, 2010 • 17 Comments

Asian source Yonhap News reported in its pages today that the Military Manpower Administration  has announced that, due to his schooling and upcoming film [after his drama?], etc., Rain won’t have to report for active duty until early next year.

An MMA official made a statement that yes, Rain had submitted a request for an extension to his September 29th reporting date, and seeing as there was no real reason not to grant it with all the factors involved, that his request is being accepted and his service postponed.

[We paused for a moment upon reading this.  This official’s actual statement was translated to say, “Since there is no reason why we should disapprove the proposal for the postponement, I think it’s been permitted.”  However, seeing as in our experience, Korean-to-English conversion doesn’t always match exactly when it comes to past/present verb tense, we feel that he could just be speaking in a casual tone, the same way we use Sure, I think so in the States even when we know something has already come to pass.]

And in related news, the Defense Ministry’s PR department has plans itself for a large-scale movie, which Rain and other enlisted K-celebs will all take part in.  The PR department’s manager is quoted as saying, “We plan to schedule the movie production at that point [when] Rain enters the army, but our movie is still in its conceptual stage and the details of the scenario have not yet [been] completed.”

(Thanks to rain bird and Rain Europe for this information.)

Well, fans, what do you think of that?  Hopefully now some of you will relax a little and not be filled with so much depressing Doom & Gloom.  We’re hoping to see something more official from J.Tune, but at the moment this Word on the Street feels awfully good.

Now do you see why I was posting those things about K-celebs serving their country and still staying in touch with their entertainment roots?  The military would have to be crazy not to be chomping at the bit about having Rain’s talent at their disposal.  Here’s your proof that they’re practically salivating over it already, as we speak.  He won’t be completely deprived of what he loves to do best while he’s enlisted, folks.  And he’s going to come back a lean, mean, fighting machine bursting with even more ideas and plans for all of us, his fans.  Thirty isn’t old, nowhere near.  Our best years with Rain are yet to come.

Let’s thoroughly enjoy the extra time we’ve been given with Ji-Hoon.  And let’s concentrate on being a positive, supportive fan base for him, rather than dwelling on negatives that can’t be helped, when his time approaches in 2011.

BiAlamode, on the “Soaking Wet: Fan Introductions” page, 8/10:
Ninja Assassin”……..This is the movie that started IT ALL for me. I just “lost my heart (and my mind, my husband would say)” to JUNG JI-HOON, RAIN/BI. I told my husband, “Unless you can do a backwards handstand on a bed of nails and flex every muscle your body has to offer, be quiet and let me watch the movie, Sshh!

purplezest, on the “I have come to Japan…” post, 8/10:
awwwwwww he’s like a squishy marshmellowy goodness sandwiched between UNF! and UNF!

marisara, on the “All I want is your lips” post, 8/16:
*drooling* Gosh, I need a bib the size of a tent for this video.

Divalcious, on the “Oh, Rainnn. You beamin'” post, 8/13:
The 1st thing I thought about while watching this was his swagger. He walks like sex on 2 feet. Mmm mmm mmm!

riverwood, on the “I see you looking at me… again” post , 8/18:  I still can’t say that I am a butt person. But I sure am a Rain’s butt person. *blush*

What we wantAn unbiased write-up of Rain’s recent (and very important) sit-down interview with Money Today, where he tries to clarify the controversial stock situation that has been plaguing him for months.

What we’re NOT gettingAn unbiased write-up of Rain’s recent (and very important) sit-down interview with Money Today, where he tries to clarify the controversial stock situation that has been plaguing him for months.

Rain’s fans want and deserve the straight facts of this Q & A session properly translated and in Black & White, what the interviewer said, how Rain responded, additional information that Rain offered, et cetera, so on and so forth.  The facts.  Not the media’s personal opinions about “thinly veiled ruses” or netizens’ opinions about how he must be playing dumb because, frankly, what you all think isn’t important.  The meat of the story and what the man is trying to get across to everyone is.  He’s a human being, and at least he was man enough to sit down and give the situation some air time.  What ever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt on this planet?

So.  When we find such a write-up by someone without an axe to grind or by someone who doesn’t get their jollies by helping the celebrities they despise take a nosedive, we’ll share that here.  Until then, when we can properly educate ourselves about what actually happened and come to our own conclusions, no go.

°

FYI, all Rain fans:  Rain has left Hong Kong and is now safely in Cebu, the Philippines as we speak.  He has Runaway filming to do, and of course he has his appearance at the SM Mall of Asia in Manila on the 11th.  Stay tuned…!

°

A final thought:  Suddenly I keep seeing It’s on like Donkey Kong everywhere on the blogosphere, when I haven’t seen or even used it myself since the freakin’ 90s.  Did I throw that around a bit too much here lately and restart something, folks?  Well, cool.

Attention Latin Clouds: Rain’s Full House to air in Latin America.

•September 1, 2010 • 2 Comments

Sharing Yoochun 8/31/2010 —  A Peruvian television channel has recently acquired the rights to broadcast well-known Korean dramas and have been noted as taking yet another step forward for the Hallyu wave.

Kpop fans in Peru could not believe their eyes as a recent commercial aired throughout Panamericana Televisión. Announcing them as ‘coming soon’, a commercial showed various upcoming dramas to be aired throughout the fall and next year, “Coming soon are the some of the best Korean productions. Viewers will be captivated by some of the most intense story lines.”

The commercial included KBS‘s Boys Before Flowers (Las Flores Salvajes/Wild Flowers), MBC‘s Strike Love, KBS‘s Summer Scent (Esencia De Verano), MBC‘s Heading To The Ground starring DBSK‘s U-Know Yunho (Sin Limites/Without Limits), KBS‘s Full House starring Rain, and KBS‘s Spring Waltz (Ella Es Una Mujer/She’s A Super Woman). The channel will begin their Korean broadcasts with MBC‘s Queen Of Housewives on August 30th.

After the news slowly began to spread among Kdrama communities in Latin America, fans could only comment with excitement. A fan commented, “I’m really amazed that those dramas are coming all the way over here, I can’t believe this is real…I can’t wait to watch!”

MBLAQ’s SeungHo and Thunder give one of my favorite Rain tunes, “You Know,” a great spin on Cool FM Radio.  Ooooh, I can’t stop grinning.  Enjoy, all!

Rain goes digital with a new advertising jingle…

•September 1, 2010 • 5 Comments

… for SK Telesys and the W Phone.  Check it out.  You supposedly can download it free from music site MelOn, but people have been having a lot of access problems trying to do that, so…

As we understand it, the ad song was penned by Rain and long-time friend/collaborator Kim Tae-Wan (aka C-Luv), who also had a hand in the creation of Rainism and was featured on the early 2010 MBLAQ release “If You Come Into My Heart.”

You may recall that Rain serenaded Tae-Wan and his new bride at Tae-Wan’s wedding back in February of this year.

You can find the song’s lyrics on our Lyrics Page 4.  (Very clever!  I’ll bet the censors were like, “Can we ban this one?  Checking, checking… awww!  So close!”  LOL)

First MBLAQ’s “Y”… and now Rain’s “W”.  At this rate, there are 24 more songs to go.  Haha! 😛  Kidding.  You know we’re down with you, Ji-Hoon, all the way.

And on The Cloud, Rain’s Official Fan Site, I found this translation. (By Cuckoo.  Thank you, Cuckoo!):

Hello, this is JTune camp.
Here is schedule guide about artist’s concert.

Special guest is expected to be performed in about an hour in Manila. [Since ‘in’ about an hour doesn’t sound quite right, should this be ‘for’ about an hour, maybe? :-}]

It (as well as its talented owner) is clearly the Star of the Show. 😀

When I looked at this partial performance, the first thing I thought was, here is more evidence of just how much “soul” this man from Seoul has humming through his blood.  Doesn’t matter what color his skin is.

This to me is Rain truly lying back, chilling out, and just feeling a song, without thought.  Just connecting with the words and how good they feel.  Just letting what happens… happen.  (Lord knows he was probably tired to death anyway.)  LOVE this.

‘Ji Woo’ (the main character Rain plays in the drama) is now on stand-by !! (haha)

In the picture, it is the moment of changing the lights and the camera angle during the shoot.^^  Ji Hoon hyung (= Rain = ‘Ji Woo’) was shooting a lot of action scenes without any help from stunt men.  I loved to see him spending time preparing for the next scene even in small doses, so my camera caught such an image of him.

Every actor is hard at work on Runaway.!!ㅋㅋ

So… here’s your quiz for today, fans:  What is the one important and glaringly obvious thing that we’ve been able to discover about Ryan Moon’s relationship with Rain from his wonderful Tweets?  Think about for a sec…

Time’s up!  If you said Ryan is younger than Rain, give yourself a Gold Star for the day (he almost always calls Ji-Hoon by hyung).  Good going.

… back when he was ZEPPing all over Japan.  As we understand it, this was posted on J.Tune Camp Rain Japan (the official Japanese Cloud fan site, please see the permanent link in our blog sidebar under RAIN SITES).

Okayyyy… is this a hint of the Red Scarf film everyone was talking about back in the middle of the month?  Or is Rain heading to Hollywood again?  Hmm.  We’ll have to wait and see… 🙂

And either way, it’s a winner!

(brief translation by rain bird @rain-eu.)

Rain : Hello everyone, how are you?  This is Rain. Long time no see.

Q: Please tell us about your Zepp tour concert.

Rain : So far, you’ve visited my concert held in a wide area, but there has been an opportunity to feature good performances traveling Japan’s cities such as Fukuoka, Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai and so on.  There’ll be 9 shows in all, and the last one will go in Saitama.

I believe it’s time for you to experience a new style of concert where we can get closer to each other.

Q : What’s next for you?

Rain : My new drama is coming soon, after that I’ll start shooting a film.  You can expect to see the drama in Japan after my splendid Zepp tour concert, so I hope to get a lot of support from you.

Q; Please send your greetings to your Japanese fans.

Rain : Hi everyone, Are you staying healthy?  I can’t pay a visit to you often, but I hope you to quench your anxious thirst for my performance through this Zepp tour concert.  Hope you are always healthy, I’ve always been appreciative of your support, and I love you..

Your support of my drama and film would be greatly appreciated.

Rain’s remarks, included in the making of clip from the Legend of Rainism Rain Asia Tour in Japan DVD:

그런말이 있는거 같아요.그러니깐
선물은 즉 현실이고 .. 현실은 즉 선물이구..
영어의 단어를 좀 비유를 하자면
.. present 라는 단어가 현실이기도 하고 선물이기도 하거든요 때로는
그러니깐 맞는거 같아요.
지금이 제게는  제일 중요하고 미래는 누구도 예측할 수 없으니..
미래를 위해서 열심히 사는 거 같아요..
[레전드오브레이니즘 레인 아시아투어 인 재팬 메이킹 영상 중에서 비…]

(brief translation by rain bird @rain-eu.)

Well… actually, nobody knows what may happen tomorrow.  You know what they say, “the gift of the present, the present of gift” has currently been impressed on me as being important, this English word “present” means “reality” or “gift”, for example.  So, the conclusion literally seems so right.

I think I dip into the future and work hard in the prospect of coming success, since this very moment is most important in my life and no one can predict tomorrow.

In other words, there are times when you should live for the moment.  Live in the moment.

[mblaq] Top Korean bands entertain Taipei.
