RE: Rain (Bi)
Rain Is in Trouble for Concert Cancellations
Friday August 29, 2008 Korea
Avoiding trouble will only make it worse.
Rain is being called to Hawaii on November 4th 2008. But the trip is not to show off his English skills.
Instead he is being called to testify in front of a federal court for the abrupt cancellation of his concert last year in June 2007. Local promoter, Click Entertainment, is suing Rain and demanding that Rain and his organizers, JYP Entertainment and Star M pay more than 4 million USD for the Aloha Stadium fiasco.
Rain and his previous management have avoided the call to court in Korea. And now faced with a court date in Hawaii., they will likely push to postpone the appearance. If granted, that would buy an extra 2-3 months. But, why postpone? He really should just be a man and take responsibility for his actions. Because, no matter how you slice it, Rain has to go to court anyways. So a few more months is not going to make the pain any less.
Rain’s current management company, J-tunes is washing their hands of any responsibility.
Last year, Rain also abruptly cancelled his concerts in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Apparently, “world star” Rain found fame not because he was talented but because he paid off the producers. Mr. Lee, who once worked at KBS made bold claims that he pocketed up to five billion Won by showcasing Rain dancing in forms of MVs when Rain was still a K-pop newbie.
Mr Lee continued to air dirty laundry by naming other stars who went through the same methods to get a breakthrough. He also named Seo In Young, Lee Hyori and Ji Sung?
one can not buy his or her stardom. even if you "pay" whoever to be featured, if people don't see any potential in you, then no one would "buy" you. i mean come on. how can a nobody, newbie pay somebody that big amount, if he himself has no money? that is a lot of ----. believe me, even if a producer feature you again and again in all the show in every tv station, if people don't see any talent in you, then it won't work. i have known and met wanna-bes in our country and they don't pay to be featured. they would do anything to be featured though, and they would actually guest in any show without being paid!... that is such a lousy story against good/ talented performers. sorry, just my opinion...

Wednesday September 24 2008 Korea
Despite his criticisms of his English, Rain is releasing his title song in four different languages to cater to his fans worldwide.
His title song will be recorded in Korean, Chinese, Japanese and English. However the album;s release date has still not yet been announced.
Rain will be attending the Busan Film Festival on October 3rd as an actor.
That's so awesome! I can't wait!! And about the English thing, it's just that he's so busy that it's hard for him to find time to learn. BUT! He is improving! He gets better and better each time I hear him. He's gonna master it in no time!

Rain, born Jung Ji-Hoon, is primarily known for his singing and dancing talents, but he has also expanded into the world of acting. As an R&B singer, he is perhaps one of the best known stars worldwide, having performed in several Asian countries as well as the United States. His music and dancing talent have been compared to superstars such as Usher and Justin Timberlake. However, his rise to stardom can arguably be mainly attributed to his role in the 2004 Korean drama series, Full House, in which he starred opposite of Song Hye Kyo. The series became immensely popular, and ended up as one of the highest rated and most popular Korean dramas worldwide. Although Rain had some smaller roles before Full House, they weren't very highly regarded and the dramas were not as successful. Rain's role as Lee Young-Jae in Full House won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards. More...
