Rain, receives Time’s invitation to dinner party, but he will not in this year’s 100 most influential people for 2007

“Beautiful guy”, Rain receives Time’s invitation to dinner party.
At the beginning of the month, he received the invitation to “Time’s 100” dinner party held at America Lincoln centre (?). “Time 100” dinner party invites the 100 most influential people of each year and the 100 most influential people of the year before.

Rain is invited to the party as alumni, thus he might not be chosen as this year’s 100 most influential people.

Usually, half the people attending the party are alumnus, thus the party is more of a reunion party.

Checking the candidates from the previous years, there is very little people who enter 100 most influential people for 2 years in a row and the only people who enter 2 years in a row are heads of states.

However, Rain is on the frontline at the online voting for the 200 most influential people, thus does he stand a chance to be selected this year again?

But, the online voting is to allow people to take note of the event. It does not affect the selection for the 100 most influential people.

Time has already chosen the 100 most influential people and will announce the results through the magazine that will be release on the 28th April (Korean time)

Rain attended the party with a black tuxedo and he met Jerry Bruckheimer, George Lucas and other stars like P.diddy at the party.

However, he might not be able to attend the party as it clashes with the Louis Vulton event.

Rain is also the first Korean artist to be chosen as “100 most beautiful people” by People magazine.

The Electric New Paper
By Chang May Choon
07 November 2006

This must be the ultimate fantasy - to have your Prince Charming bend down with a shoe for you. It happened to a lucky girl in Taipei. Her ‘prince’ was none other than Korean singer-actor Kim Jeong Hoon of Princess Hours fame. But it was ski shoes, and not a glass slipper, that he helped her with. He was there to promote skiing for Korea Tourism Organisation.But this is an example of how obliging the boyish heart-throb is, and how eager he is to win over the Asian market. When fans in Taipei asked about his love life, his glib reply was:‘Why do I need a girlfriend when I have you all?’ And Jeong Hoon, has many anecdotes to share, even though he professes to be shy and reticent…

Jeong Hoon has visited China at least six times - enough for him to pick up some Mandarin. When in Qingdao two months ago, he said he learnt the phrase ‘wo ai huo guo’, or ‘I love steamboat’. Also, he replied in Mandarin when asked by China Entertainment Television what he would say to move a girl’s heart. ‘Yi jian zhong qing,’ he said, meaning love at first sight.

As for his most embarrassing encounter
he recounted how he was once caught using a female toilet because the gents had ran out of toilet paper.

What about his ‘most suave moment’?
He said he feels great whenever he checks out his flat stomach in the mirror after workouts. How vain.

But his most dramatic anecdote yet is how he got thrown out of his house, naked.
He told The Chosun Ilbo: ‘I have always been bothered by my ‘pretty’ looks… As a kid, I used to pull pranks that irritated people just to make myself appear more manly.

‘Once, in kindergarten, I said I wanted to leave home and got chased out of the house, naked. But it was too cold outside, so I had to go back. In the end I got beaten up and shed plenty of tears.’

So Ji-sub officially is done with military service awwww and seems like people had a little welcome back party or something for him ^^

He was discharged from the army on 27th April 9 a.m and have served for 26 months. He has 500 fans started waiting for him around 3 am in the morning (!). 300 out of the 500 fans came from Japan.

When he came out (finally), his fans were screaming for his name. SJS said, “He’s really happy that his fans came from afar. He will work hard to thank them.”

“Cain and Abel” will start filming in June.

Spring’07 ACTOR STYLE KOREA Vol.12

A man of potential underneath an adorable appearance

Q: Thoughts on beginnng solo activities as an artiste?
A: Felt more stressful during the time working as duo (UN). Whereas the advantage now is being able to do things the way one desires. Because of this sense of responsiblity, so there’s an urge to work even harder than before. I feel that after I have begun solo activities, I start to take more initiative and being able to explore more of my inner self.

Q: What happens if your friend and you fall in love with the same person?
A: In actual fact, a similar incident did happen. Knew very well that the girl I liked is the girlfriend of someone closest to me. If I had confessed my feelings, it would develop into that kind of complicated relationship which I really detest, so I give up on this feeling. I think I will do the same should I encounter the same situation again in future.

Q: Yul is someone who can easily converse and meet up with a girl, what about you?
A: Actually I don’t think I can have true friendship with girls. Since kindergarten days, I have always befriended the boys. Perhaps it sounds a bit arrogant, I had been a role model for others since young. But good friendships didn’t come from other model students,rather those friends who were slightly bad. I guided them in their studies, and they in turn taught me the fun stuffs. So there are very few chances to befriend the girls, always just teasing them slightly .
