For us Clouds unfortunately, Rain won't be making a comeback any time soon, but he will be debuting one of his J.Tune Entertainment trainee's this July, a 16 year-old who will use either her real name or a stage name, "Dahee".

'Dahee' will be the first trainee from J.Tune to debut and is said to be the female version of Rain... of course she is - she's being trained by the master himself! After auditioning last year, Dahee was immediately signed because of her amazing dance skills. She has recently finished recording her debut song as well as the rest of her first album and will soon be filming her debut music video. "For the next 2 months, Dahee will be put through rigorous singing and dance training in preparation for her debut. Rain won't be involved in the performance at this point, but that could change later," commented a J.Tune representative.

I'm already impressed that the girl is actually ready to debut so soon, after "only" 1 year worth of training. Since this IS Rain's first trainee, it could either be really successful... or not. We'll just have to wait and see.

Rain decides to do away with his Six to Five clothes and goes back to nature

World Star Rain (Jung Ji-hoon) is the face and body of Korea's new cosmetics brand Nature Republic.

Rain shows off his famous body in a series of black and white photos for Nature Republic's website.

What is the brand's philosophy? It says on the Nature Republic website:

"Nature Republic", based on Mother nature's law, is a new cosmetic brand, created by combining both state-of-the-art technology as well as natural substances of the utmost quality.

My abs are not photoshopped...it's all natural I tell you...

The arty pictures were shot in Brisbane, Australia with the forest as an amazing backdrop. Rain, bare chest and feet walks through the serene forest, becomes one with nature.

This is the first of a series of ads and CF that Rain will be doing for Nature Republic (네이처 리퍼블릭). He has inked a two year contract with the cosmetics brand for a cool 1.5 billion won. Kaching!

If he were green, Rain would look like the incredible Hulk in that last pic

Nature Republic opened its first store in Myeongdong, Seoul in March 2009. By middle of the year, 100 stores will be in operation and the goal is to open 300 stores by end of the year. A very aggressive plan I would say.
