Rain’s transformation to chocolate abs

rain1

And all it took was “controlling my mind and menu with chicken breasts and vegetables,” not to mention vigorous training.

In the unidentified photos, Rain documents his transformation from chopstick skinny to chocolate abs for his role in the upcoming butt-kicking flick, Ninja Assassin.

Ninja Assassin, directed by James McTeigue, opens in Korea on November 29th

    lolita, Popseoul is not where you come for ‘news’!! It’s just a blog where people put forward their comment on what has happened in the Kpop Entertainment Industry.

    You are the one who is stupid, coming here expecting breaking NEWS! ……………stupid

    gimme some of that chocolate!

    All I’ve got to say is AMEN and thank GOD his role in ‘NINJA ASSASSIN’!!!

    Because of his role, Bi Rain put some meat into that skinny body of his. It’s a great thing! Way too many Asian boys in the entertainment world are too skinny for my taste anyway and then excuse their petite body as ’sexy’.

    At the same time, I think bodies like Kim Jong Kook is so unattractive! Too much muscle is disgusting but Bi Rain is just right! :D

    Also another thing, I’m SO glad he chopped those dreadful long hair of his. It didn’t suit him whatsoever!

      Rain still needs to pack on a bit more bulk (still too skinny around the chest, back and arms).

      Kwon Sang Woo, Song Seung Heon and the newly bulked up Choi Si Won have better builds than Rain.

      Also KJK has gone away from his “meathead” build and now has a less bulky musculature.

  15. 40 Dovey November 11, 2009 at 12:09 pm

    Read elsewhere that he hardly talks in the entire film? Very sad… =(

  16. 41 lily November 11, 2009 at 12:38 pm

  18. 43 mq November 11, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    looks like those transformations from doing the p90x workouts!

  19. 44 Maki November 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    Ughh is it just the picture quality or are his abs weird looking? lol weird..

    Though I did see the Ninja Assassin preview-and it looks sweet, but then again I have a bias for fighting/marital arts movies. w0o ninja!

  20. 45 Maki November 11, 2009 at 4:01 pm

    I just noticed his hips (last pic)……….teehee. XD’

  21. 46 hye jun November 11, 2009 at 4:54 pm

    love ittttttttttt~

  22. 47 maria November 11, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    He looks like he’s in so much pain in the last photo…all those chicken breast and vegetables must have been giving him nightmares lol

  23. 48 bwahaha November 12, 2009 at 8:51 pm

    Even at its worst shape, his body is better than most of the people who comment here

  24. 49 soju November 13, 2009 at 6:23 am

    lmfao. if they really wanted to show a transformation, they should have posted a pic of his big ass too. and btw, his abs don’t even look good. and that butter face! omg! don’t get me started on the butter face!

  25. 50 kuraudo November 15, 2009 at 12:44 am

    People who are complaining his abs are deformed? You must be very uneducated. No one’s body is symmetrical, even peoples breasts are one bigger than the other, and the abdominals aren’t a bar of chocolate, or machine made. Yeah you go get a body like that and tell Rain and his million dollar trainers how to train..

    The stupidest complaint I’ve ever heard.

  26. 51 maybe..maybe not November 16, 2009 at 11:36 am

    His slim jim is poking…XD

  27. 52 james November 18, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    genetics attributed to the look of the unbalanced abs. nothing wrong with it.
