Rain Explores Shanghai Nightlife

Rain is very discreet about his trip to Shanghai this time round. Fans had to wait around Che Tun to catch a glimpse of their idol.

Yesterday was Rain's second day in Shanghai. His primary tasks were to familiarize with the dance steps, try out his images designed for the TVC, as well as attend a photoshoot session in Che Tun for the TVC's publicity photos. Filming of the TVC commence officially today, while the main highlights of the TVC, the dance scene with Sun Li, will be filmed on the 15th.

With a lighter schedule yesterday, Rain had a chance to explore Shanghai's nightlife the day before with four bodyguards. He was dressed casually, and was hardly recognized as he walked along the streets. He didn't take the car prepared for him by the local organizer, but took a cab back to his hotel with his bodyguards.

Despite the late night out, Rain woke up early at 6.30am and headed to Che Tun to try TVC images and attended the photoshoot session. Upon reaching Che Tun, he immediately expressed interest in the old buildings of Shanghai in the 30th century. Although the buildings were unauthentic, he still recorded them on his DV, and even requested to make time on his schedule so he can visit these structures.

Yesterday, during his free time between trying on his images, Rain practiced Mandarin with his Chinese tutor. According to his tutor, his Chinese has improved significantly, and he can now converse in basic mandarin. However, he still needs some correcting in his TVC script.

The female lead, Sun Li, also appeared at the photoshoot yesterday. Other than practicing her dance moves, she has also been working hard at her Hangeul, hoping to communicate better with Rain. In order to understand Rain better, Sun Li has watched Rain's serial drama, "Full House", twice.
