SEOUL - South Korean pop sensation Rain is out of the military.
Under cloudy skies today, Rain fired off a crisp salute and thanked a large crowd of mostly media and women who’d gathered to commemorate his discharge after 21 months of mandatory service.
The fans held signs reading in Korean and English: “We waited for you” and “Rain’s coming.” One Japanese fan said she had been waiting for more than a day to see the “entertainment soldier”.
Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji Hoon, has made seven albums and acted in several South Korean and Hollywood films. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011. AP
