Rain says that he plans to enter the army in the latter half of next year after shooting a hollywood film.

Rain talked about the terms of entering the army at KBS TV's Wednesday and Thursday drama series 'The Fugitive Plan B' farewell party last 6th.


On that day, Rain expressed as, "I'll enter the army in the latter half of next year after shooting a hollywood film I've recently arranged my schedule to fit into."


And, he said, having a great affection for 'The Fugitive Plan B', "'The Fugitive Plan B' series haven't enjoyed high viewer ratings, but the drama's continuity in a unique way in a tightly woven plot has created a huge fan base for it. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have made a lot of friends during the drama shoot. I think this drama will win wide acclaim among the public as time goes on."


Adding, "I really wanted to appear in a soap drama, but I think 'The Fugitive Plan B' can be far better received by the overseas critics because it is a detective drama with lots of suspense."

Police have been investigating MC Mong due to suspicion of military enlistment evasion for the past several months. Recently, it has been revealed that during the past 7 years, MC Mong has postponed his enlistment 7 times. MC Mong has been receiving more criticism than ever.

MBC’s “News Desk” stated on the 10th that MC Mong received his first draft statement for active duty in August 1998. Thereafter, MC Mong delayed his enlistment for the next 7 years 7 times. Additionally, at the time, twelve teeth that MC Mong no longer has were reported to be in normal condition.

There were a variety of reasons stated for his seven postponements. A few of these include MC Mong’s application for a Civil Officer Examination, work related training, and qualification examinations.

MBC stated, “During the height of his activities in the media in 2005 and 2007, he postponed in enlistment with the argument of his ongoing Civil Officer Examination Application.” They also revealed he had performances on the day of or the day after the examination.

MBC stated that due to his low scores on his dental health examination in 2004, MC Mong received a military service exemption. However, he is being investigated because of the recent increased suspicion of the possibility that he intentionally removed his teeth.

Representatives of MC Mong are asserting, “There were no medical procedures done in order to illegally receive exemptions. All medical attention was given for legitimate reasons.”

Korean superstar Rain will be able to pursue his singing and acting career for several more months following the deferral of his military entrance date to next year.

The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) said late on Thursday that it will push back Rain's military entry to an unspecified date next year from the originally set September 28 of this year.

All Korean men serve two years of mandatory military service, mainly during their early to mid twenties, but Rain, 28, had initially held off serving his military duties to study for a master's degree.

He then submitted an application this May requesting for another postponement for reasons relating to his career. Rain is one of the main stars of upcoming TV series "Domangja s1" set to premiere in late September.

Following the MMA's decision, Rain may appear in one more drama or movie before joining the military next year, according to his agency.

An official with upcoming film "Red Scarf," a remake of the Korean movie of the same name from 1964, had said last month that there is a high chance Rain will play the main character in the story which tells of the life and comradeship of various soldiers.

The movie would mark his second local big screen role, after critically acclaimed director Park Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay" while he has also appeared in Hollywood pics "Speed Racer" and "Ninja Assassin."

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, is considered one of the most successful Korean stars in the entertainment business throughout Asia.

ELFS are really diligent. Another photo of Super Junior Kangin from the army has surfaced.
This time it seemed like it is a self taken pic.

He's not wearing military uniform so I'm asserting that he took it during rest time maybe?
I got no info how this picture released.

It has been reported that Super Junior’s leader Leeteuk is going to the military.

In recent variety shows, Leeteuk has talked about his fear of the status of his popularity when he comes back from the military. On the August 2nd show of“ Happy Birthday“, Leeteuk stated:

“Kim Jong-min and Chun Myung-hoon don’t seem to have gained back their popularity completely after returning from the army. I’m worried I’ll go through the same thing when I come back. Kim Jong-min, Chun Myung-hoon, No Yoo-min, Lee Sung-jin and more have not been able to get used to the variety programs. People have been saying that they’re not as good as they used to be.”

Afterwards, Lee Kyung-kyu, the MC, advised him, “Just be more carefree. You work way too hard. On Strong Heart, you work so hard. If you work this hard, you’ll have nothing to do when you come back.”

Fans are saying that he shouldn’t be nervous, because they will never forget the awesome leader for Super Junior.
