Breaking News: It has just been deemed that Rain has probably lied about being at least TWO CENTIMETERS taller than he actually is.
I know. This changes everything.
Rain was captured in the photograph below with Runaway co-star Lee Jung-jin, off the set while in Japan. This has spurred some controversy with netizens who have pointed out that Lee Jung-jin’s profile says he’s 183cm, while Rain has always touted his 185cm height. Clearly, someone’s not so good at math.
Fans who have actually met Rain in person are putting up comments that he’s at least 180cm, while some reports are insisting that it’s the camera angle that’s creating the optical illusion that Lee is taller.
Okay, everyone say it with me now…WTF?
I know that Korean celebrities have all sorts of profile information out there, and that fans feel ownership over such information, but the level of betrayal and counter-support over two centimeters is…just…
Now, if they were talking about a 2cm difference ELSEWHERE…that’d be a different story.

Celebrities lie about their profile all the time. Whether it be about age, weight, height, etc. It’s really not that serious.
Well,lets predict;he would have to make a press confrence to clarify this very “important issue” admit it,then apologize to his fans.sigh.seriously.If this meh kind of stuff matters,I suggest every celebrity in korea to get themselves psychologists as their advisors..seriously.it’s a bumpy road out there
Haha Rain blows
What? I understand some of them lie about college degrees but height? He so darn tall anyway so 2cm isn’t an awful lot
I don’t think his fans will mind it one bit even if he admitted he lied about his height. Wait… did he say it himself or was it made up by netizens and people who post his so called biodata online.
And that first pic is of him is horrible – he looks drugged out
What??? He’s 2 cm shorter??? That’s it! I’m canceling my membership to his fanclub!
Hahaha, Korean fans need to get a life, there are better things to worry about.
P.S. I do agree with you, if it was a difference of 2 cm elsewhere, then we have a case kkk
@girlfriday,
lol naughty girl
You are sooooooooo right. Some people have way too much time on their hands. Is Rain any less hot shorter – NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
i agree
AND PLEASE its not like they all dont do that
sriously, if ANYONE is expecting me to believe that Jang Geun Seok is 182cm, when he looks SO DAMN SHORT then i will eat my own hat
and post the footage on youtube
for me not important , i like him for his talent , not his height .
He looks ok to me , not short , we all like tall celebrities but talent always more important .
Either way he’s taller than me… and yummy.
Well, here in the U.S. celebrities lie all the time about height. I consider 2cm to be more on an embellishment or exaggeration… Hardly a crime.
2 centimeters!! OMG! the world’s coming to an end!!!
korean netizens need to get a life fast! next thing we know, they’d be arguing about hair color and contact lenses!
Now, if they were talking about a 2cm difference ELSEWHERE…that’d be a different story.
Now, if they were talking about a 2cm difference ELSEWHERE…that’d be a different story.
Now, I love the above quoted sentences…..to be sure, I WILL BE disappointed and sad if the much talked about 2 cm difference IS ELSEWHERE….no decent lady will be happy with that BIG (2cm) difference….:))
I laughed when I heard the theory about the camera angle, but it may have been true. Fans have been trying to prove his height like crazy: http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=shm&sid1=106&oid=241&aid=0002011225
lol GF… i love your wittiness. you slay me
“Now, if they were talking about a 2cm difference ELSEWHERE…that’d be a different story.”
hahaha, can i just say this made my day? i havent laughed this hard in a while!!
ok, seriously, i dont think theres a point about lying for a 2cm difference or to have a public outcry about such a thing. well, either way, i doubt that he had a choice about what image he wanted to show. that would have been up to his higher ups, no?
This made my day. Period.
Not important…..
Take It Easy
HAHA. I so agree. I’d definitely be more concerned about false advertising in other places. 2 cm off the top doesn’t really make a difference to me – he’s still taller than me.
OH my GosH!
That’s a grave sin! i’m so hearing a lawsuit about it.!
hahaha! so funny! it really doesn’t matter at all.
who cares ,.Rain has reached that certain point of confidence and success anyway.
whether he is 5’10 to 6’2 , his fans will always love him. i guess.
@ 91 This Is Me Posting – I love you. I’m gonna close my eyes, count to ten, and when I open them, you’d better be on my bed, naked. Oooonneeee, twooooo, threeeee……..
I’m with you. WTF!!!! leave the guy alone.
Here in the U.S., 2 cm really is meaning less. But I guess ELSEWHERE is extremely relevant to all people…….O_O.
(You always make me laugh out loud.)
By the way, love, love, love the Taec banner. It always makes me smile. The boy’s all ears.
HMPH! Why I do declare! I cannot believe that Rain would lie about his height. TWO WHOLE CM! Really?! I feel so betrayed and hurt. Where is the love? Where is the honesty?
*snort/snicker*
Why do Koreans make a big deal out of this? I know cultural differences and all but when I see people going crazy about height with American stars. . . .well all the fans would be viewed as idiots.
what is the point of this………………………….if they like him, why should they care if he lied about his height of 2 cm or not….lol
…Really Korea? REALLY?
lol. the title is wrong. Fans in KOREA cry. crazy people. netizens.
“Now, if they were talking about a 2cm difference ELSEWHERE…that’d be a different story.”
Oh, Girlfriday. You naught git.
*climbs on soapbox*
Everyone please note; while we may laugh at K-netizens because they appear to be crazier than we are, it is important to remember that we all have our faults and that we all … um, that we all …
Pfft. Yeah, they’re totally nuts.
*steps down from soapbox and joins in the mockery*
Oh really?! I understand, that’s no big deal.
I love this guy Rain is kinda shorter but it doesn’t matter to me — I love Rain as a fan! ^___^
I am very shorter than him — My height is 5’1 half, hehe. =) =)
HAHAHA FUNNY!
snort! hehehe
Hahahaha..thanks for making me laugh Girlfriday…and yes..it really does matter if the 2 cm is somewhere else…lol
i think this discussion needs parental guidance…15 is allowed right!!!
i’m not really surprised that he’s shorter than some actors… i mean i never thought he was TALL tall. haven’t people watched full house? he looks a bit on the short side. or were those his legs? haha maybe the uproar is partially due to the fact that he’s built an image and career around his looks and people find out it was “fake”… or whatever
ROFL! It’s the hair and shoes. Flat soles and not enough volume in those dark locks of love.^____^ v Rain can make good use of stretches or yoga and who knows even girlfriday’s version of ELSEWHERE may benefit as well. Pahehe~
They’re wearing different shoes where Rain’s are flat and Jung Jin’s aren’t and Jung Jin’s hair are a little bit spiked up
look at the drainage grates, clearly he’s standing on lower ground.
@ Girlfriday:
My friend just sent me this update. Have you seen this?
http://community.livejournal.com/omonatheydidnt/3951609.html
Wholly sheet, this is hilarious. Height is sirius bidness, y’all, and those K-netizens don’t play! I’d stay away from reading the poster comments, but the article itself is lulzy enough.
I really don´t think that a 2 cm are the big deal!
It´s still Rain, for the love of God!!
He is still the charismatic, great actor , excellent singer, and hottest korean guy for me, and also for lots of people……
so as long as he doesn´t change his dedication to his work is fine with me!!!
I love you Oppa!
Wow, I almost pissed laughing at the title. 2 centimeters, huh.
I think some people totally missed the point of this article, and that CRACKS ME UP. I’m dying laughing over here.
LOL – The last line was the best thing I’ve read today!
@ Uden
What??? He’s 2 cm shorter??? That’s it! I’m canceling my membership to his fanclub!
ME TOO
LOL
hahhahahahahahahha 16 is allowed in here rite? ahahahahhahahahahahhaha
*insert sarcasm*
that .73″ difference in height is just completely UNACCEPTABLE. Rain should be ashamed of himself!!!
agreed that his shoe size is much more important.. and the size of his hands. if he lied about those, it’d be the end of the world!!!
oh boy. this was the juicy scandal the public needed: ‘height’-gate!
the korean entertainment industry just baffles me sometimes.
i am all for the ELSEWHERE!!!!
my brois 6’0 and helook taller than that guy…
NOT THAT IT MATTERS but it’s been proven this is just a bad angle. There are pictures with him standing eye-to-eye with 186cm Lee Chunhee (both of them barefoot) and he’s almost as tall as him.
but like I said it doesn’t matter. He’s still a giant. haha
HAHAHAHA !!! That is why RAIN is RAIN and he is a superstar
@girlfriday… you just brightened my day LOL
