Eric at Choongnam Nonsan Military Center

It has finally happened. The longest running boy band has temporarily called it quits because of the inevitable military service.

Eric of Shinhwa has left to fulfill his military duties at Choongnam Nonsan Military Center on October 9, 2008. He was sent off by 200 fans from both China and Japan.

His departure now signals the countdown for the rest of the 5 members. Dongwan is up next in November and Minwoo in May 2009. On the other hand, Junjin has postponed his start for February 2009 with his announcement on October 6, 2008, With Shin Hyesung exempted from service due to his physical condition, Andy will probably follow with an announcement of his own once his solo activities are also finished.

Although this is a sad time for many dedicated fans, it was probably a good thing. With the comebacks of what seems to be every “idol” group in Fall 2008, there would have been too much competition for them anyways...

Kung Fu Panda " Kung Fu Fighting" Rain's Version

Rain 5th album is coming out

I have no idea what “Rainism” means but the term probably has nothing to do with “controlling my mind of chicken breasts and vegetables.” However, if I were to guesstimate, then “Rainism” refers to the half-naked, hunkier and modern version of the 70’s disco group, Village People (above). Or it refers to Rain looking like Tom Cruise in the 80’s hit movies Top Gun and Cocktail (below). Or maybe I am getting blinded by staring at the computer all day and thinking/wishing that Rain would be Tom Cruise or singing YMCA?

Rain’s 5th album, “Rainism” will be out shortly but not before the full-fledged barrage of promos- first the comeback showcase at MBC Dream Concert on October 9th, then a television special on MBC called appropriately, “It’s Raining” on October 10th and then a week later, another comeback showcase called, “Me Rain Dance” on October 17th. And let’s not forget the 2nd teaser MV that will released on October 8th.

Dang, don’t I sound like a crazy fan?

The chicken breasts without the vegetables did it.

Rain Teaser 2

After getting his ear pulled in the 1st teaser, Rain undergoes more abuse in Part II of the teaser. This time, the love interest, Ha Ji-won steps it up a notch with a full on face slap. What can we expect next? - Ha Ji-won poking out Rain’s eyes with a spoon? hitting him with a frying pan? running him over with the car?

As for the title “love story,” I don’t see the connection. Love does not mean pulling ears and slapping. Or does it?

Check out the teaser Part II:
