Although he\u2019s serving in the army, Rain was able to spend Christmas Eve with some of his closest acquaintances. It was reported earlier today by local media Sports Seoul that Rain was given about five hours on December 24 to spend some free time with his visitors that included Lee Mi Kyung, the CEO of CJ E&M, Kim Dong Won, the director of upcoming movie \u201cSoar into the Sun,\u201d and fellow actors Jung Suk Won and Kim Sung Soo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the poor road conditions due to the heavy snow fall from the previous day, the group of visitors made their way to the Yeon Chun military camp where Rain is currently stationed. Because of the sudden passing of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, the alert level was higher than normal, and most vacations and visits were very limited. Rain, likewise, was not granted any vacation days, but partly because of his outstanding training results, he was given special permission to greet his special guests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CEO Lee Mi Kyung, brought food for the soldiers. She\u2019s known for being a mother-figure to Rain as he\u2019s also mentioned in his \u201cVIP Thanks\u201d album, \u201cI love you CEO Lee Mi Kyung for always taking care of me and supporting me like your son.\u201d Lee Mi Kyung, the granddaughter of Samsung Group\u2019s founder Lee Byung Chul, has been a central figure in Korea\u2019s entertainment business. She\u2019s very close with other actors such as Lee Byung Hun and Jung Woo Sung, as well as some of the YG artists, and is known to have played a key role in arranging Rain\u2019s Hollywood debut.<\/p>\n

The upcoming movie, \u201cSoar into the Sun,\u201d is a story about the Korean Air Force, starring Rain, Jung Suk Won, Kim Sung Soo, and Shin Se Kyung. It is scheduled to premiere at the end of January.<\/strong><\/p>\n
