Can someone make a gif where it "rains" Raina? XD Maybe a birthday cake with Catallena Raina candles and in the background a bunch of her heads fall like raindrops

I always enjoy moments when she pouts because her ayego is cute/awkward

In the past, Raina always did her Christina impression and it's gotten better!

Favourite Moments
I've got lots so I'm just going to pick a random 3.

I really like this video


LOL @2:21-2:25 Raina tearing Nana's belt and then getting punished by the class leader with a hammer to the head.


@0:24-0:40, also note @ 0:35 Jung Ah becomes air born.....LOL the aftermath @0:40-0:58, poor Jung Ah.


My Favourite quotes

@2:36 "I hope to become a respected singer where people respect me for my talents and skills. Since I have a lot of goals and confidence, if you ask me to do something. I will do it."
\

Fun Facts

1) The name Raina means to give strength. Their manager give her the name intending for her to give strength to people with her voice.

2) In "My Teacher is Coming" Raina reveals she's been playing the piano for 10+ years... that was about 4 years ago so it probably more like 14+ years now.

3) Pre-debut Raina was a DJ and known as 천소랑 at Say Club KcCast (a radio program) and was quite famous with that name. Because of her short hair at the time people thought she was a boy. Sources jjang Soonduk, Pledis A-Class

4) Raina shows off her rapping in her cover of Chris Browns run it in her audition clip. After that Raina has been promoting her rapping skills on many shows/interviews throughout these years e.g.  "My Teacher is Coming", tvN Taxi, Tick Talk interview e.t.c

Here's another one


5) This may not be a fact but I think Raina is very smart. When I saw her in Playgirlz School she appears to be very articulate(I don't understand Korean it's just how she spoke that makes me think this) and that may have contributed to why she was the only person to have ever been chosen as vice leader in Playgirlz School although one of the times was because she won a nose tickling contest.

6) In the Oricon Style interview Raina says she has no secrect because she is an honest girl....after that Nana reveals Raina has a firm butt. LOL

7) Raina shows off abs in the 2014 April issue of Ceci magazine

8 ) Raina along with Nana didn't like Orange Caramel when the sub unit first started. See KBS JJC&HR 2PM interview for more info.

9) In Lee Sora's Music Plaze interview Nana said "Raina looks very kind but she could be very tough too." LOL which can be confirmed in Playgirlz School when you see Raina throw Jung Ah into the water during that wrestling game in episode 7.

10) I think Raina doesn't just look very kind she is very kind. During the T-ara bullying scandel a Music Bank staff said "There were other singers that witnessed her[Hwayoung] not being allowed to enter the waiting room and crying out in the hallway of the broadcast station.”
This article from  musebro suggests that After School welcomed Hwayoung and Raina gave Hwayoung Raina's clothes to wear. It's clear from the photo that Raina's clothes don't match what Nana and Lizzy are wearing and Hwayoung clothes seems to match Nana and Lizzy but not what the rest on T-ara members had.



Right now I'm open to the idea that the photo could be fake as well as the other stuff I've read said so I'm not sure whether I should have wrote that. I'll let you guys be the judge but keep your minds open. Does anyone know whether that picture is fake or not and whether it is from Music Bank?

11) Raina is a lyricist and has written the following After School/Orang Caramel songs; "Standing Here" i.e. the Korean version of M2M's "The day you went away", "Still/Yet", "Love Love Love", "Timeless".

12) Raina's solos/duets include "Love Does Not Wait", "Leaning against time", "Timeless" with Jung ah, "Superwoman", "Meteor and Piercing", "Crying While Putting Makeup On" with Jung Ah


Things I like about Raina
1) I think she's smart
2) She's kind hearted.
3) She can be strong headed and tough as well.
4) Her determination she's shown in achieving her goals.
5) She's a pianist and the piano is my favourite instrument.
6) She's a lyricists and I like the songs she writes.
7) There are things about Raina that reminds me of Kahi. Lately it's been her physique. There's also her leadership skills, she's a pianist, a lyricist, when both Kahi and Raina were younger they look like boys.
8 ) She's pretty/cute and has an awesome voice.

I think I may have missed something but that's all I can think of right now.

Off topic, in the Playgirlz School video with the runway fashion show that marks the second time JuJu gets the Korean Won and loses it. She's bad with money lol (When she was class leader on a previous episode she only took a few bills out of the envelope and Kahi found the rest)

@4:44 Hoi Hoi

@Marinesquad49 Which Playgirlz School episode has the runway fashion show that you are talking about? I remember in episode 6 Nana uses a table like a catwalk and in episode 9 they have a runway competition to decide who the next leader will be and YAY!!! Raina wins honestly I think Jung Ah should have won but the fashion stylist was being bias which I guess isn't a bad thing otherwise Raina would never get another chance to be the class leader.

I don't remember Juyeon losing money in episodes 6 or 9 though. Are you thinking of episode 7 where Juyeon steals Jung Ah's money @2:50?

@3:43 in episode 9 part 2

and @4:44 episode 5 part 1   

Marinesquad49 wrote:@3:43 in episode 9 part 2

Oh that's what you mean by Juyeon losing money   .

Now back to the topic, here's another of my favourite Raina moments

WOW Adam and Thurston. I think you guys would be a great editor-in-chief for our magazines XD Thanks for these <3

I agree! Adam and Thursty you guys are amaze :')

Also, @marinesquad49 I really want that gifset to be a thing!!!

I can't stop laughing for this video   

Feel like I saw this a little late... (?)

Although I'm not very good at expressing myself with words (much less in another language other than that originally I speak) I always try to help with anything, but I think that I can not do much 8'(
Also, I plan to make a Fanart for her birthday (as always, I can just draw e.e)

You're not late at all, YoYo! No worries

I'm excited to see your art! Its always so good! Maybe we can even feature it into the magazine!

(Also you do a lot for the forum and ASDaze community. We really appreciate you ヽ（´∀｀）ノDon't feel discouraged!)

@YoyoMG, I love your fan fanart, can't wait to see it

@3:40 Raina's cover of Kelly Clarkson's Because of You


White Winter and Because of You. @6:52 RAINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just remembered something about Raina that makes me really like her and it's her passion for singing. You can see it in her like when she sings Ugly on Perfect Singer 140103.

I don't like how she sang Ugly on Perfect Singer 140221 because the new make 5 mistakes and you're out rule made her sing for the sake of passing the challenge and that passion that I felt in her previous performance just wasn't there. But what I do like about that episode is when she sang after failing @1:45 also I'm going to add that cute stomping thing she does @2:02-2:04 to my favourite moments list.

Raina is too good for that show if they are going to implement such a stupid rule.

Well, today I took the time to take my notebook and draw a little ^^  
So I finally finished the fanart of Raina for her birthday!! 8'D (?)
Although I am not very good at drawing on computer, I've tried and ended this way. ._.


Honestly, I did not like much ( p_q)
I love color red

It's gorgeous YoYo! It's so good omg :')

What does it say in Korean???

as a raina fan, i realise i learn more form this thread ,than being able to contribute to it. And @YoyoMG as usual nice work there    

@captainsprunchz: Says: Happy birthday to you ~! = 생일 축하합니다~! and Raina = 레이나 :3

@bennyraina Thank you very much ;3; ♡

Happy Birthday to Singing Takoyaki XD

I've used that T-ara scandal to demonstrate Raina's kindness but honestly I don't have anything concrete to tie that picture to the T-ara scandal. Right now I still own Raina something to demonstrate her kindness in case that picture is fake or has nothing to do with the scandal so how about this.

In episode 11 of Playgirlz School, during the games to determine who dances to what songs Kahi becomes more and more annoyed/upset from Jung Ah's trolling(LOL Jung Ah bullies Kahi and Juyeon bullies Jung Ah). I think Raina picks up on how upset Kahi was at 6:13 to 6:22, in the back ground I think Raina says something to tell Jung Ah to give Kahi a piece of the sign(someone who can understand Korean please confirm if that's true or not) as Jung Ah was handing pieces of to the other members.

If anyone is still interested, in one of my early posts on this thread I mentioned how it was said that Raina welcomed Hwayoung to OC's waiting room and gave her clothes to Hwayoung when T-ara wouldn't let Hwayoung in T-ara's waiting room. I thought that incident was the one mentioned at http://notara.tumblr.com/post/28482641381/the-complete-and-full-explanation-of-t-aras where Music Bank staff said people wittnessed Hwayoung not being allowed to enter her waiting room.

I express 2 questions concerning the validity of that photo and the tumblr post from musebro, the first question is was the photo fake and the answer turned out to be not, it is real. The second question was, is the scene from Music Bank and that answer turned out to be no. The photo is actually from the final round of MBC's Kpop Cover Dance Festival (17/11/2011),
@0:42


This doesn't necessarilly mean that musebro's info is wrong because the post doesn't explicitly state when and where Hwayoung was bullied and not allowed to enter T-ara’s waiting room. I just assume it was the Music Bank incident because that's the only one I know of. The scene in the picture could still be one of multiple incidents that Hwayoung was bullied and force to stay out of her waiting room but I don't know anything to support this theory, or whether Raina really gave her cloths to Hwayoung.

While we're waiting for Renzel to finish Raina's magazine(take your time Renzel, I'm really patient hope you have time to do one for Nana as well) here's some more





@3:36 to 5:10 Raina defeat 3 opponents in a row in chicken fight games. @4:56 LOL, BEG FOR MERCY ALL YOU WANT HYUNA, OH HYE RIN TAKES NO PRISONER WHA HA HA HA!

@Sarah, sorry. I wish I could help but I've been really busy with implementing the MAMA voting feature for the Playgirlz Voter for the last few of days as well as other stuff I have going on in my personal life. Hang on off the top of my head here's some facts about Raina:
1) She gets easily irritated(fact from an interview that I can't remeber where from...might be a tenasia one), LOL remember how she got annoy by San E when San E said all she wants is to be notice(i.e. give the attention) when they were on some show I can't remember the name of for now and what about when she gets annoy be Nana's resistance to Raina's attempt to convince Nana to when customer with an up size bow in episode 9 of Playgirlz School.
2) Raina and Nana didn't like the idea of Orange Caramel when they were introduce to the concept.
3) On Music Access Raina revealed that she was never a JYP trainee, she auditioned 6 times for it but never succeeded....and thank goodness
4) Raina has the most complaints towards Pledis(can remeber the interview I got that one from, you'll going to have to look that one up as well), I've got a lot of complains towards Pledis too.
5) Her voice is awesome and she's not afraid to publicly share it. LOL, look up that scene from My Teacher is Coming where she embarrass they unnies by sing out low in the coffee show.

Sorry Sarah that's all I've got for now, I need to go to work on somethngi.
