Rain works six to five
by | December 16, 2008 | 26 Comments

I’m sure a 6-to-5 workday isn’t what “Six to Five” means, but it sure seems like it, doesn’t it?

Perhaps to give his project a kick-start, Rain recently posed for a spread for new fashion line Six to Five in preparation for the brand launch.

The shoot took place over the weekend in the Philippines, and Rain will be representing the brand himself as the model for the 2009 season. Six to Five will hold its “launching show” on December 23 (no holiday rest for the workaholic?), at which Rain will strut the catwalk with about ten other fashion models.

The event will also serve as a “mini-concert” where he’ll perform seven of his hit tunes. The CEO of Rain’s company JTune Entertainment explains that Rain wanted a chance to wish his fans a merry Christmas in the absence of a year-end concert.

Let me get this straight: Rain has personally designed parts of his fashion brand, for which he’s shot promo ads and is acting as brand model. He’s performing double-duty at the fashion show, modeling and singing, as explained by the entertainment company he operates. A healthy ambition is all and well, but dude, you don’t have to mix ALL of your individual efforts into one thing. At this point, there are too many fingers and too many pies.

    why did they shoot in philippines? just curious.

    man, i’v never been a fan of rain. for me, he’s just an “okay” actor/singer.
    but he looks really hot in this picture though.. hihihi.

    wow! if they indeed did a shoot here in the Philippines, it must be top secret. I can’t find any blog accounts of someone seeing him here. aaah! we missed the opportunity.

  3. ilovekangmae

    i agree, hanneebuff! we missed the opportunity to see him here. :(

    I dunno. After all the celebs who just show up and smile for pictures at the launches of fashion lines/perfumes/books/etc that they barely had anything to do with, other than lending their name, its sort of refreshing to see someone who takes full creative interest. Nobody can claim this isn’t his brand….

    He sure got hot! Damn.

    I’m just glad he cut his hair, ick.

    Is the tattooo real??

    Thank goodness someone else commented about the tattoo. I’m not a fan. I normally love tattoos, but dude, did he seriously just get a ROCKET SHIP ON HIS CHEST?! Did he just go to a tattoo shop and randomly point to one of their samples?! This tattoo is not artistic and does not even enhance his physical appearance.

    The “Tattoo” is the logo for “Six to Five”. The logo was superimposed onto the photo.

    he didn’t have to be shirtless to promote his brand
    no offence but…showing too much isn’t sexy for me…

    He was here in the Philippines and the media doesn`t know about it?!
    I wish I saw him and I would really want to have an autograph and picture with him.
    Too bad I missed the chance!!!

    Its distracting imo :/

    This man has shot covers for every mag/shoot/ product possible in Korea but there is something about the pic above that screams supermodel!

    He poses and looks better than some of the runway models I’ve seen.

    Love this pic.

    I’m not feeling the clothes. Will people actually BUY that stuff? And what’s with the rocket? Is he trying to say something by choosing, of all symbols, a rocket? Interesting, indeed.

    I agree nobody in the media knew about Rain’s shoot in the Philippines? Did they intend to conceal his coming or what? He’s also popular in the Philippines & am almost certain he’ll be swarmed by his fans if they knew he was coming! By the way, Rain he looks good in that photo! I like his hair short like that! Aja

  17. 17 LadySin

    he looks so tall and, um, hard.

  18. 18 michy

    wow.he’s looking hot there…..can’t complain. lol

  19. 19 Rebeca

    Okay so: i have to admit…….

    after looking at this pic, you pretty much forget about liking him, not liking him, him working too hard, him doing too many things at once……

    and all ur focus just ends up at his toned chest..

    my goodness…

    this man is hot

  20. 20 sk

    Sadly, Rain doesn’t take photos with FANS. He’d take a photo with anyone else ie. friends of staff, business associates etc. Anyone but those who pay his salary.

    Did I mention that his fans were stuck at the back of the hall during the event?

  24. 24 Jen

    I agree blah, he does not care about his fans like he used to. He has just gotten to big and feel he is above the people who buy his products. His ego is as rock hard as his new abs.
    6 to 5= 6 25 his birthday—-ego much?!
    rocket ship…yep, we all know what anatomical part that is a reference to….

    I loved him when he was humble but now he just thinks to highly of himself.

  25. 25 SaNaa

    Anybody else thinks his legs were photoshopped (longer)… no offence to Rain, it seems to be “normal” in the industry these days…
