November is magazine month for Rain
October 17th, 2008 // by javabeans
As (repeatedly) promised, Rain has begun launching his Korean comeback in earnest, and November’s a busy magazine month for the star, who’s gracing not one but two fashion covers. He shot spreads for the November issues of Esquire (above) and Harper’s Bazaar (below).
With his fifth album — the awkwardly titled “Rainism” — just released on October 15, I foresee lots more Rain news in the making in the coming months. (Raise your hand if you already have Rain fatigue.) On the upside, I’m more than ready to have the focus of Rain-related news revert back to his bread-n-butter: music. ‘Cause that’s the whole reason I ever liked the guy in the first place, and I’ve missed that side of him in the past couple years.

Rain’s cute, more than handsome.
He should take off some of that eyeliner, though.
I’m sorry, but I have to say this, he has an ugly(scary) foot!! Also, big hands!
^ LOL!
Wow, he sure is very, very busy!
His new hairstyle is good, also his new song is not bad.
Welcome back Rain~ ^^
Yeah I like his hair like this…looks better than his usual long hair
whoa his foot at the last pic…
looks a little odd. its like huge and bony.
other thatn that. he looks great.
He look nice by why he look so maga in the top left pic? Meh, maybe it’s the jacket. I like him in the two last pictures better.
I liked his new album. The song Rainism is actually very catchy despite the weird or as you put it awkward title. I don’t really care if he comes to America or does stuff there I prefer his work in South Korea. I want to see him in a drama or a Korean movie (I loved the strange and quirky I’m a Cyborg but That’s Okay) and just yeah.
lol
both my hands are raised WAAAAY up high.
You know, I’ll put up with Rain if it means America gets another Stephen Colbert parody video. I’ve got “Singin’ in Korean” as a ringtone for my other Korean-crazy friend, and it STILL makes us giggle. God Bless America, indeed.
I really like him.
Maybe he tries too hard for the American market but I think if he just returns to where he belongs and focus there he will be more successful.
I like him through Full House so I don’t know much if he is a good singer (I can’t tell because I’m not Korean) but I do know he is an awesome dancer.
Good luck to the guy!
I think he did a great job with the new album and breaking out on his own after JYP. He’s definitely bringing a whole new style to his music – a lot better than the JYP material he had before.
No matter what i think he deserves respect for his attitude and giving it his all.
by the way definitely no rain fatigue – i mean he is after all one of korea’s biggest star (in korea and in rest of asia) so i think he’s getting the attention he deserves now.
he’s really fun when he starts clowning (preferably in korean
) look at him go flexing those neck tendons! he looks positively like the slightly more handsome brother of bong tae-gyu there 
I´m so glad he´s back to looking hot again xD He finally got a decent haircut, thank goood
DD
Thank god he’s back in Korea. And I hope he stays there.
I’ve enough of those ridiculous interviews in English.
Welcome Back Rain!
I really like the MV of Rainism.
yes. he can’t do long hair. no. no. no.
I love his hair. *drools*
The first picture of him is just gorgeous.
Hi javabeans!
Wondering why you don’t have an entry yet about Kim Suna and Rain’s tango? I’ve been waiting for your comment on the show… ^^*
