Rain & Shin Bong Sun are dating?

Rain’s latest CF for CJ Cheiljedang’s red pepper paste brand, ‘Haechandle’, released a hilarious ‘dating’ rumor about Rain and Shin Bong Sun.

In the CF, Rain is found working out while watching the entertainment news. He stops midway when he hears an absurd report about Shin Bong Sun and himself. Afterwards, he blissfully eats a spicy bowl of bibimbap to relieve himself from the bitterness of life.

Meanwhile, three years ago on a variety program, Rain laid out the basics for the dating rumors when he said, “I like Shin Bong Sun. I get nervous everytime I see her“. The comment came after watching her perform her rendition of his “Rainism” dance.

Rain and Se7en have a random Twitter conversation

Singers Se7en and Rain showed off their unexpectedly close friendship with each other through a conversation on their Twitter accounts.

On May 17th, Rain asked his fans on Twitter, “Everyone, what is the best pet to take care of indoors? I need expert knowledge on this. Something that listens to me well.”

In response, Se7en uploaded a picture of a dog and replied, “Get something like this! A pet dog that looks like you!” The picture Se7en uploaded was indeed a puppy with small, squinty eyes that smiled exactly like Rain.

Rain tweeted back, “I think you need to go back to high school. Today’s punishment day!” Se7en then replied, “Ah hyung-nim, anything but that… I’m sorry. You already hit me a lot during high school.”

Afterwards, Rain lightheartedly replied, “What, when? I took care of you the most, people will misunderstand.”

Seems like an exchange only friends would feel comfortable with, right?  Who knew?
