South Korean pop sensation, Rain (Jeong Jihoon) hasn't been to Hong Kong for quite a while now. He arrived in Hong Kong from Los Angeles last night for the DHC opening ceremony that's taking place at Metro City Plaza today. Yesterday, about 50 fans gathered early at the airport. When they saw Rain with his aura of matured musculinity and a face full of stubbles, they screamed excitedly and proceeded to run after him, causing quite a chaos indeed.

Chaotic scene; Rain takes the wrong route twice

Rain's flight arrived half an hour earlier ahead of schedule. He walked out of the airport at about 7.15pm, wearing shades, camo cap and dark green long-sleeve tee. He wore his tee-shirt cape over his cap, covering half his handsome face; a chin full of stubbles gave him a manly look. He was carrying an LV bag and holding his passport and handphone. 6 dancers accompanied him. When he saw his fans, he said "Hi" in a friendly manner, causing his fans to go crazy and rushing forward to surround him.

He originally wanted to leave by the back exit used especially by hotels or travel agencies, but the scene was so chaotic, he took the wrong route twice and was eventually surrounded by many fans. When he lowered his had and held his passport to his chest in defence, some fans screamed in excitment because they managed to touch him. After much difficulties, he finally managed to get on his artiste van. In between, some fans gave him dolls as present. His manager received the dolls on his behalf.

Rain and Im Soo Jung kissed in the Mental Institution

Other than this, "Cyborg Love", the movie directed by Pak Chan Wook, which Rain is co-starring in, has just released its trailer. The most attention-catching portion in this 2-minute trailer is the kiss scene between Rain and his female co-star, Im Soo Jung. "Cyborg" is a romantic comedy based in a mental institution. The story tells of Im Soo Jung's character who believes that she's a cyborg, and Rain's character, who often imitate other people because he fears he may disappear. The two eventually fall in love. In the movie, the two dons white patient gowns. Im Soo Jung seemed to have shaved off her eyebrows and Rain gave up his sauve hairstyle in exchange for a bowl-cut and a pale look--both made sacrifices for the sake of art. The movie will be screened in South Korea early this December.
