K-Pop Star Rain To Face Disciplinary Action Over Lax Off-Duty Conduct
SEOUL, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- South Korean pop star Rain will face disciplinary action for violating terms of his 21-month mandatory military service, the Defence Ministry said Thursday, following revelations he has been dating a top actress while on leave, reports China's Xinhua news agency.
The 30-year-old singer, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has come under fire after paparazzi pictures showed him on dates with popular actress Kim Tae-hee several times last month in what was seen as a violation of regulations.
The K-pop star has reportedly received 71 days of vacation last year, while a regular enlisted soldier is supposed to get only 28 days of vacation during their two years of compulsory military service.
The media revelations touched off criticisms that celebrities who serve as "entertainment soldiers" receive special treatment, prompting the Defence Ministry to look into the matter.
"It is true that corporal Jung Ji-hoon had private contacts on his way back to the barracks, which constitutes as a violation of military rules,"ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said in a press briefing.
All able-bodied South Korean men over 20 are required to serve in the military for about two years.
The bulky "Rainism" singer, who also starred in Hollywood movies "Speed Racer" and "Ninja Assassin," is one of the most successful K-pop stars with a massive following across Asia.
He will be discharged in July.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
