South Korean pop icon Rain was officially released from mandatory military service Wednesday, with hundreds of fans shedding tears of joy over the star’s comeback.

About 700 devotees from South Korea and abroad exploded into ecstatic cheers as the 31-year-old K-pop star emerged from the defence ministry building in Seoul, where he had gone to receive his discharge papers.

Some banner-carrying fans, weary from camping out overnight in drizzling rain, broke into tears as the star walked out wearing a military uniform.

“Thank you all for coming to welcome me. I’ll do my best. I love you all,” Yonhap news agency quoted the singer as saying, as he gave fans a military salute.

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-Hoon, is one of the biggest names in the world of K-pop, which commands a huge following in South Korea, across much of Asia and beyond.

In January, he was confined to barracks for a week after he was caught sneaking out for to meet a love interest while on official duty.

He was dating a Kim Tae-Hee, a TV drama star with a massive following in Japan.

South Korean men are obligated to serve about two years in the country’s armed forces.

Military service is taken extremely seriously in South Korea, which remains technically at war with North Korea because their 1950-53 conflict ended with a ceasefire rather than a peace treaty.

Apart from those with physical disabilities, exemptions are rare and anyone refusing to serve — for moral or religious reasons — faces an automatic jail term.

Celebrities are frequently caught attempting to evade military service for fear they might be forgotten by their fans while in uniform.

“Gangnam Style” star Psy was forced to serve twice after it emerged he had furthered his showbiz interests during his first stint.

Sugar Club’s member Kandy Wong recently admitted that she and her boyfriend of two years, Dominic Ho, have called it quits.

As reported on TVB News World, during an interview with the Hong Kong media, the Cantopop singer dismissed rumours about a third party in their relationship and stated, “We broke up because I have been really busy lately and had no time for our relationship.”

It was a known fact that Kandy earned more than Dominic, who is just a minor actor in films. While the singer refused to talk about their relationship, the actor was more open about their relationship, and even named his photobook “Kandy Krush”, which led to speculations that he had been using her to gain exposure for himself.

The actor has also denied news of their breakup, and insisted that their relationship is still going strong.

To this, Kandy commented, “I don’t want to make any comments about other people’s publicity stunt. My company has never pressured me to do anything. They just told me not to promote other companies indirectly!”

Meanwhile, Dominic is still hoping to reconcile, saying, “We may not have the same opinions about work, but I still care very much about her. We are both too busy with work and there is just no time for each other.”

Dominic also dismissed rumours that he had been using his girlfriend for publicity, saying, “It’s not true. The real issue has nothing to do with publicity. I don’t like this kind of speculations.”
