Rain writes a book report


Rain wrote a book report as a part of his reflection/probation period. Although the full translation isn't up yet (I'd wait for allkpop), the only part relevant to understanding the comments is when he says, "I feel like I should just transfer to the frontlines and get it over with."

The gist of it is that he feels like people aren't giving him credit for the times he actually did fulfill his service and that they're chalking it up as if all he did in the army was sit around going on dates.

1. [+1,201, -51] Ah, now this is the true man I knew was in him. He feels like he should transfer... then I think we should help send him to the frontlines with a petition... This is a time when netizens can actually help!
- Yes, let's start a petition
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Send him off to the frontlines like he wants with a petition
- ㅋㅋㅋ I want to help him as well, let's start it

2. [+921, -45] Then he should transfer... It's not like anyone's stopping him. Oh Jong Hyuk even delayed his discharge to receive more training.. Would it kill him to just do his best for the two years he's required to serve? This just shows his normal work ethic...

3. [+551, -19] He feels like he should transfer? You're the one that said you wanted to be a regular soldier and then applied to be a celebrity soldier after just a day~ You're not an elementary student so why are you writing book reports on your reflection paper? Let me laugh...

1. [+1,216, -111] "I feel like..." Then you should do what you feel like

2. [+1,209, -153] He just doesn't care anymore, does he? If he was a regular soldier, he'd be spending his probation running laps in full military gear... But he calls this a probation....

3. [+1,170, -138] He applied to become a celebrity soldier because he wanted. So why is he not transferring to the frontlines since he obviously wants it? ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+246, -5] He has it so nice. He gets to spend the coldest week of the year reading a book inside without any outdoor activities.

5. [+205, -4] From now on, if any other soldier does something wrong, make them read a book inside and write a book report on it.

1. [+1,070, -288] I really wasn't going to login for this but I just had to. I served in the same line as Rain. Our unit has the first privilege of recruitment from the line and so I was there when our unit went to recruit Rain but Rain refused and was adamant that he not serve with us. Our unit was the frontline troops so Rain is running a big fat lie right now.

2. [+853, -136] Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does he think the army is just some school he can transfer in and out of? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+810, -129] Honestly, he's a corporal now so he could transfer to any line he wants and it wouldn't matter because he's at a high enough rank where he doesn't have to do anything difficult anymore. The lines will be full of soldiers wanting to get on his good side so they're going to suck up to him. He's basically trying to spend the few months he has left on the frontlines purely for his image but it's obvious what he's trying to do here.

4. [+110, -4] Rain is obviously feeling the heat now... He knows that if he discharges like this, his image is down the toilet and he can kiss his comebacks goodbye, which also means no more dramas or CFs... He was probably dreaming of coming back as a world star like Psy before his scandal with Kim Tae Hee went out... What a pathetic life.. Farewell, Rain.
