[09-26] Rain, "It's just simple chronic back pain, I'll serve in the army


This is from the agency itself so until I see what's new today this is what's really going on with Rain.




25-Sep-12][Daily Sports]Rain, "It's just simple chronic back pain, I'll serve in the army although I break my back"







Rain's agency has officially announced its position on the current state of affairs in a situation where all kinds of suspicion and speculation ran rampant about how singer Rain's lower back is.



On his official homepage on the 25th, Rain's agency set out its official position on the issue, " 'Jung Ji Hoon' (Rain) has got a bad back since before enlistment, so he has continually received treatment for the pain. It's just simple chronic back pain, so he has no difficulty at all in serving in the army. 

Therefore, he cannot ever think of being invalided out of the army, and he must probably want to proudly leave the army even though he breaks his back."





"Jung Ji Hoon" was complaining of pain in the back on the afternoon of the 23rd and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital with permission from a military surgeon. He was planning to be commissioned to be a member of the judging panel for the "Be The Star" finals held in Gyeryong City's Culture &Art Complex on the 24th, but he was absent for the event, and he wasn't able to participate even in an event for "Armed Forces Day" scheduled for September 25th.

After Military Release, Will Rain Sign On Again With J.Tunes Company or Find A New Agency?


Despite Rain’s release from his army duties still being months away (barring his back condition doesn’t worsen), the entertainment industry is already abuzz over where Rain will sign on with once he returns. 

Back in 2007, Rain parted with JYP Entertainment and founded his own agency, J.Tunes Company. But last year, before enlisting in the army, Rain increased J.Tunes Company’s capital by issuing new stocks before transferring ownership to JYP Entertainment. Rain’s then-contract with J.Tunes Company expired in October of last year and the singer is now currently under Rainy Entertainment, founded and headed by Rain’s own father.

Speculation remains divided what Rain will do once he returns from his army duties with some saying he may choose to found his own agency once more. 

Others, however, argue with Rain’s long-standing connections with the staff and groups like MBLAQ and the upcoming girl group Two X, Rain will not easily give up ties with J.Tunes Company.

120926 [INTERVIEW] [Stars ★ Ask About ②] Lee Joon "If I am given a vacation I want to go Machu Picchu"


We heard stories of if MBLAQ is given a vacation where do they want to go, and also their their usual fashion preference.

Q. [Travelling] Where do you want to go if you are given a vacation?
(Mir) Firstly is Guam. Secondly is France. Thirdly is Singapore. I have not been to France, so it is one of the country that I would like to visit. Although we had been to Singapore, but we are not there to have fun, so I would like to visit there on a vacation.

(G.O) Compared to a holiday resort, I would prefer tourist attractions more. (Laughs) So Hong Kong is my favorite. In Hong Kong it seems like they have everything that I could think of. For example if I say 'ah I would like to see this', I just have to go there and they will be there. Eating delicious food and to go on shopping it seems like I will be able to find them easily according to the changes in my mood.

Secondly is Singapore. Although we had stayed in 'Marina Bay Sands Hotel' but I didn't get a chance to visit the swimming pool. Thirdly is France. I would like to go visit Montmartre. "In fact it is because I got to the Montmartre bakery to buy bread frequently". (Haha)

(Lee Joon) I want to go to Egypt. I want to the ruins of the era left six thousand years again and one of the 8 wonders around the world, Egypt. Personally I like to visit historic sites and I feel that I will be learning a lot.

Secondly is an ancient city in Peru (Machu Picchu). Machu Picchu is only the wonders in the world. It is a city above the mountain. Because it is a place that is hard to explain scientifically, so I would like to see it with my own eyes. Thirdly is India. Compared to tourist attractions like Guam and Singapore, I am more interested in countries that are full of culture and customs.

(Seungho) I went to Singapore before and I also wanted to visit the swimming pool located at the 'Marina Bay Sands Hotel'. Secondly is Guam. I have not got a chance to go there yet. Thirdly I would like to visit Japan's circuit. Using our country as an example, we are to race on racing tracks, but Japan made their roads into circuits, because it is somewhere you can race your car so I wanted to go. I like the instinct of speeding. (Laughs)

This is the first time we have had vacation. Because we are having our Asia Tour, and because we are having our Taiwan visa so we couldn't go overseas, I only went to Busan once with my friends. "Upon arriving we went to the sea and ate sushi and took photo. We only took one photograph. (On the photo shown to the reporter, leader Seungho took off his charismatic look, and in turn have a mischievous appearance) there is only one with the manly look. And that is all" and after I drove hard and return to Seoul. (Laughs)

(Thunder) Singapore 'Marina Bay Sands Hotel', firstly it looks great. (Laughs) Secondly is Guam. Although I am not really good in swimming but I love the seawater. Thirdly is India. I also have a lot of interest towards Indian music. I remembered last time Seo Taiji sunbae-nim* (sunbae = senior) said that Indian music is really nice.

Q. [Stage outfits VS Casual wear]
(Mir) My favorite color is black. Secondly is white color. Because black is a very invasive color, it is also easy to mix and match with various outfits. Thirdly is blue. Usually I like to wear jeans.

(G.O) Our group name is MBLAQ and it is also influential to our liking towards colors. Although I usually like to wear black, but because of our profession, we need to have more exposure towards the clothing we wear on stage, so we had worn a variety of colors. But strangely I still prefer black, when you open up my closet it is actually monotone, there are either black or white, but there are more black. So black is in the first place, followed by white and blue, it is the same as Mir. (Laughs)

For my casual I prefer to have them more masculine. Although sometimes I would want to wear clthing with Dandy look and Marine look, those kinds of striking costumes. But "because they doesn't really suit me, so 
I would still pick dark and simple outfits."

(Lee Joon) Beige, black, white. I do not particularly like one color. This apply to food and also colors, I don't especially prefer one. (Laughs) "I need to find something I like in the future. The outfits now are all picked by coordi noona. It looks okay right?" (Laughs)

(Seungho) First place is red. I certainly like black, red, monotone and neat outfits. No matter how these three colors can mix perfectly.

(Thunder) My favorite color is black, Secondly is white, and thirdly is blue.

Q. [Fashion Preferences] Idol fashion, what is the most important thing to you?

(Mir) What I like are watches they are in the first place. Secondly is suit. The reason for watch to be in the first place is because men likes to wear watches a lot.

Because I have a weak heart so I didn't buy watches that are expensive. (Laughs) I like Cartier too, I must buy a watch in the future. (Laughs) And thirdly is white tee and jeans, they are easy to get and are most stylish.

(G.O) I think suits looks good on all men. This time round when I am filming drama 'Ghost', Ji Sub hyung wore a black suit while filming the scene at the funernal. I am having thoughts like "Even men will think that he looks cool, if it was women they would be deeply attracted by him".

Secondly, "I had tried on a lot of different accessories but watches are indeed really important to men." Different from women, men had a different view when talking about fashion I guess.

(Lee Joon) I think for the overall look and feel of the outfit, having a good body figure is really important. "Men need to have good body figures, it will then look well on whatever you are wearing. If you do not have a good figure, whatever branded stuffs that you are wearing still looks weird on you", and if you are talking about good figure, Rain sunbae-nim* (sunbae = senior) has a really good figure. Secondly is watch, I don't like expensive things. (Laughs)

(Seungho) Firstly I think suit is really important to men. Secondly is sunglasses. Although I don't specifically collect them, but if you cover up your eyes, the others will not be able to see your expression clearly and I think that it will be really attractive. Thirdly is watches. If you like branded things, then watches and cars have no limit. So to some extent it would be great to set a proper line I guess.
(Thunder) Usually I like suit styles. To be honest I wanted to wear suit style. (Laughs) Secondly is hats that can be used as a single accessory. Thirdly is attitude. Not matter how well you dress, or how many branded things you wear, I think that to have your own feel and the attitude is the up most important thing.
