During the event, we see him shortly posing at the sponsor photo wall and being interviewed by the reporters. Our man is gorgeous. And with those very expressive eyes, we have more or less an idea that he is saying kind words to the people.

Beautiful! Flower/LED and Rice garlands 

Stunning! LED garlands lit up!
Our fellow kind-hearted Clouds gave these rice garlands for this event, which will be donated for charity in Rain's name. I'm so proud to belong in this fandom. (^_^) One thing worth mentioning is how good these garlands looked with Rain's pictures on it.

No Umbrella Needed

"No Umbrella Needed"

Rain on me;
Shower me with your love.

Rain on me;
Wet me with your dance.

Rain on me;
Soak me with your song.

Rain on me;
I want to feel your smile. 

Come water my garden;
my earth is dry, my flowers are thirsty;

Rain, Rain, Rain on me;
Waiting For Rain.
                                      
                                   -Lee24


Poem written by @lee24_ans, as inspired by Jung JiHoon. Clouds don't need an umbrella because our sunshine is Rain. Clouds smile whenever it rains.  So bring on the downpour! (^_^)
