There's a signboard in an unit belonging to the 5th Division, Yoencheon-gun, Kynggi-do,
where Rain works as a teaching assistant.
Singer and actor Rain (29, his real name is "Jung Ji Hoon") serving in the military, had a
very nice Christmas with his acquaintances including "Lee Mi Kyung" (53), vice chairman
of the CJ.
Deluxe foreign and domestic cars, including Carnival vans which are usually used for
transport of entertainers, were lined up at a recruit training center belonging to the 5th
Division, Yoencheon-gun, Kynggi-do, last 24th, at around 10:00 am when it was on the
eve of Christmas. They drove all the way from Seoul to see Rain serving here.
At this visit, CJ's "Lee Mi Kyung" was accompanied by "Kim Dong Won" who directs
"Flight: Close to The Sun" which is Rain's last film before his military service, and Rain's
"Flight: Close to The Sun" co-stars such as "Jung Seok Won" (26) and "Kim Sung Soo"
(38).
Even though road conditions were being blamed for the heavy snow overnight, they didn't
mind coming down there to let Rain not be lonely as this Christmas was special for him
because it was his first Christmas at the military.
The atmosphere from inside and outside of the military unit, was rather strange and
awkward even though Christmas was near at hand, because vacation, outing, and staying
out overnight were restricted by North Korean leader "Kim Jong-il"s death.
Rain has got days off as a reward as he's received a citation for being an ultra warrior,
but the incident has caused him not to go on vacation for a while.
His fans' messages left in a noodle restaurant right in front of Rain's unit, gave us some
slight idea of the atmosphere of Christmas.
The visit was done from around 10:00 am to 3:00 pm in the unit.
As "Kim Sung Soo" and "Jung Seok Won" spent time with Rain almost half the day on
Christmas Eve which raises people's pulse rate more than Christmas day does, delaying
dating with their own girl friends, the three of them showed off their close friendship and
loyalty.
"Lee Mi Kyung", vice chairman of the CJ, specially prepared a car with Bibigo (a Korean
food brand produced by the company) on it for Rain and his soldier mates performing
their duties in cold weather while cutting themselves off from society even on Christmas
Day.
A special connection between "Lee Mi Kyung" and Rain is widely known as she's had a
motherly affection and carefulness for him.
"Lee Mi Kyung" carrying on a three-generation family business, the eldest daughter of
"Lee Maeng Hee" who is the eldest son of the late "Lee Byung Cheol" who is the founder
of the Samsung group, has great influence with the domestic culture and art world.
Meanwhile, "Flight: Close to The Sun", a more than ₩ ten billion action blockbuster set to
make its debut in South Korea on the fourth week of January next year, is about the
activities, love, and friendship of flighter pilots.
In the movie, Rain plays a flight lieutenant called 'Jung Tae Hoon" belonging to Black
Eagles, a special Air Force team with top guns, working with "Jung Seok Won", "Kim Sung
Soo", "actress "Shin Se Kyung", etc.
