Some newspapers say that Rain will attend a traditional Hanbok fashion show, but this story is not true.

Public information services support soldier Jung Ji-Hoon (Rain) will only compere and bring the 'Festival Arirang for the World Peace' to a close, in part one and two of the event that will be held in the USA on May 8th to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War, respectively.

일부 매체에 보도된 '국군홍보지원대원 비의 패션쇼 참석' 기사 내용은 사실이 아닙니다. 홍보지원대원 정지훈(비)은 한미동맹60주년을 기념하여 오늘 5월 8일 미국에서 열리는 '세계평화페스티벌 아리랑'행사에서 1부 사회와 2부 엔딩공연만을 진행합니다.

**We are aware that there are discrepancies in the dates.  Dates of May 5, 7 and 8 have been used.  It is possible that the event in the United States will be on May 7 and because of the time zone difference, ROK_MND has used May 8.  As more information is received, we will continue to keep you updated.

Rain will be the host of the 1st part of the festival and will give an ending performance in the 2nd part of the festival.
