Why do I love this man very very very much??
1. His voice is what makes me fell for him for the very first time. I saw him earlier starring in popular-booming-in-Asia kdrama "Full House" with the beautiful SHG *I LOVE that kdrama, btw, awesome storyline! sugoku omoshiroi ne!*. I thought he was cute back then, but not enough to turn me into some Rainholic-fangirl like I am now. I liked him and that's it. I don't even bother to know about him more after the kdrama ended.
Time passed by, and then I put his song "It's Raining" into my cellphone and started liking his strong manly voice. Not many Asian male singer can sing well and still sound masculin like Rain Oppa *many other just have girlish tone in their voice, which turns me off* And that's how "It's Raining" became one of the songs in my "Most Played" list.
Soon after, my friend gave me her collection of Korean songs and Rain was one among the singers. I downloaded all of his songs into my cell and they automatically became my daily dose! I LOLOLOLOLOLOLOVE his VOICE!
2. His SMILE :) After becoming a fan of his songs, I started to google his photos. When I saw his cute boyish smile, I become even more into this guy! I spent my free time browsing for more of his pictures, and got a HUGE crush with his SMILE :) and...
3. HIS HOT DAMN BODY AND KILLER ABS!!! What's so special is that he has a MAN-BOY COMBO in him! He's got that cute boyish smile while under him he's got a scrumptious-send-me-to-hell-dayum-hot-body! And I LOOOOOOVE HOT BODIES! ^^~ yummy! His body drives me crazy!
4. His DANCE MOVES *WOOHOOOOO*!! He's like one of the most eye-catching-energetic-supa-dupa-cool dancers around the globe! His dance is HOT STUFF and D*MN COOL! Can't get my eyes off him while he's dancing!! That is why when I first watched his concert, I'm stunned and overwhelmed by his moves! This is the starting point when I began my fangirl-life!
5. Him as a PERSON.
True, I'm just a fan from a faraway country. True, I'm just blabbering if I said that he's a good man and someone to look up to. True, I DONT KNOW HIM AT ALL, he's just some guy whose photos are all over in my PC and cell *^^* and there's no way I can tell what kind of a guy he REALLY is.
This is the story.
First, I was just looking for his photos so I can collect them and see them whenever I feel like to. One day, I stumbled upon this blogsite which name I can't input here *I really have a high appreciation for this blogsite! And I'm just a no-blogger to write the blogsite name here!*
From this blogsite, I began to learn many things about Rain Oppa.
One, that he's not all candy-dandy-happily-ever-after man. He faced many problems and mistakes in his life. He became who he is now through a lot of hard work and steep climbs. He has a quite sad background.
Two, he's got hella lot of anti-fans who live to BASH him and HUMILIATE him. It's like a cyber-war going on between the antis and the defender a.k.a fans a.k.a CLOUDS in the blogsite which I mentioned earlier.
Three, the cyber-war is FUNNY :) I LOVE RAIN OPPA but the antis are plain funny and I enjoy reading their comments bashing my lovely Oppa. And some antis do have their REASONABLE reason for not liking *or hating* Jung Ji Hoon shi.
Four, I'm not sure anymore wether he is truly a kind humble person as I wanted to believe him to be. Some antis stated that somehow after all his fame and fortune in entertainment industry, he has become ARROGANT.
Five, that he is trying to break into USA market and go international and fulfill his dream on becoming a WORLD STAR.
Six, his english is SUPER BAD that I feel like snapping him in the back.
WTH is he thinking??
Seven, I still love him no matter what.
All this time, I thought celebrities lead a happy exciting dandy easy life. But seems like i was wrong. From what I learnt, Rain Oppa made a lot mistakes in his carreer and he's faced many problems. He is just human after all, not some semi-god fans make him out to be.
Knowing this, I feel different towards him. It's something I couldn't clearly express. Just that I feel for him and I care for him. And I really wish him all the best luck in the world. I am now a supporter.
Maybe some people would think that I am pathetic for caring for some artist who doesnt even know my name or that I exist. But I can't stop idolizing him! He's become part of me I can hardly separate ^^
I learn that becoming a true fan is not just about praising him and defending him blindly, and then just throw him in the garbage can just because he's no longer lovely or there's a newcomer greater than him. Becoming a true fan means to support him all the way to reach his dream and to understand that he is too a normal guy with normal human needs. And a normal human DO MAKE MISTAKES and STUPIDNESS.
This post ends here.
