Rain wants to become a fighter pilot

Catch me if you can...but i'm running away from enlisting...
until 2010 that is!

South Korea's top star Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) was originally called to enlist for military service on 28 September 2010. However, the celebrity has requested to postpone his enlistment to next year (2011).

Rain has also stated his preference in serving in the Air Force during his 2-year service. According to a report on Newsen, Rain has a high chance serving in the Air Force, much like fellow celeb Jo In-sung. So Rain wants to become a fighter pilot!

Rain's reason for postponement is that he is busy shooting his latest drama Fugitive and is also in the midst of pursuing his graduate degree at Dankook University. It is reported that his postponement has been accepted by the MMA (Military Manpower Administration).

Rain wants to join the Air Forces? Liz is already imagining Bi in TOP GUN style sun-glasses, a white tee and jeans. Hahahaha...
