astig nga yung commercial...cute ni Rain...ang galing ng Unilever na kunin si Rain...dapat pala tinanong ko sa kakilala kong taga Unilever...magandang strategy yan para maraming bumili ng Clear

[summer]

Iba nga ang impact pag sa TV mo na napapanuod :D Sana, pag sa GMA , puro yung kay Rain na lang muna and wag na yung kina Bea *wish*
Pati si Arnold Clavio, ginagaya yung "My Name is Rain" pag promote nila yung clear sa radio, lol!

Hi Biers! Rain is featured today in Manila Bulletin's style Weekend. In the cover it says:

FASHION FIESTA

Superstar Rain and Supermodel (http://showthread.php?t=3020#) Diana Dondoe
Fall in LoVe in Valencia

- - - -

This was the time when Bi modeled for Louis Vuitton in Valencia, Spain and he was also invited to watch the yachting tournament . . .


http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/naomz/mb.jpg

I am glad that after the Clear Shampoo commercial, he is given another recognition in the Philippines. I was able to buy my copy just now, so hurry and get one. :D

[docirene]

Hi docirene - huli na tayo......it has been shown in several Asian countries already. I hope so, too that there will be a giant billboard of him to be installed here. :cool:
hehehe, what i meant was (to paraphrase it ) NAUNA PA DITO SA PINAS IPALABAS ITONG AD KESA SA SINGAPORE kc tayo nung nov 18, sunday, sa singapore nov21, wed. pero tama ka, and i am also aware that this ad has been shown ahead in other asian countries. basta ipost niyo agad dito kung makakita kayo ng billboard ni rain ha?

[docirene]

Natawa naman ako " My name is weyn"

uy talaga ba ganyan ang pagkasabi niya? proud na proud pa nga ako nung pinuri ng friend ko sa ganda ng tagline niya sa dulo ng ad eh. didnt even notice that. in my mind and sa pandinig ko RAIN ang bagsak nun, not WEYN. i may be wrong though. pero ok lang yan. no big deal;)

[docirene]

i saw the ad 2 x tonight. i swear i heard it very clearly MY NAME IS RAIN, not weyn. pls go check again. unless bingi na ako.:p promise, he wouldnt mispronounce his screen name. he's been using it for quite sometime now. since JYP produced his 1st album wayback 2002. no way would he mispronounce the name that made him the asian superstar that he is now.

"My name is Rain" nga . . . 4x ko pa ngang pinakinggan and I used headphone pa para sure at Rain nga sabi nya.

[freedert]

eto na:
approximations included! heheh,..

"I USED CLEAR,.. THE WORLD WATCHES MY EVERY MOVE, MY HAIR, MY CLOTHES, MY LOOKS,.. I LIKE BLACK,.. BLACK LOOKS GOOD,.. AND LOOKING GOOD MEANS NO DANDRUFF,... CLEAR MEANS NO DANDRUFF,..

info about clear..

I TRUST CLEAR,..
DANDRUFF NEVER COMES BACK,...

MY NAME IS RAIN!"

hahahah,..

pede na xang intro sa kahit anung gatherings.. heheh,..

[docirene]

hello lark, cfc and freedert. tama talaga ang narinig natin. di tayo nagkakamali. RAIN talaga yun, not weyn. peace to all.;):)

[fatgrrlslim]

Not to start an argument or anything, but I've had that sound clip "My name is Rain" as my message alert tone since September when the ad first came out on the internet. Araw-araw, maya't maya naririnig ko yung sound bite na yun. According to my ears, somewhere in between "Rain" and "Wayne" nga yung pagkakapronounce nya. :p Pero ok lang, cute nga eh.

Regarding yung pagiging "huli" na ipinalabas dito yung ad... actually, like docirene said, nauna tayo kesa sa Singapore. Although last month pa may mga Rain Clear promo ads na sila sa mga buses and subway. I think hindi pa rin pinapalabas yung ad sa Vietnam and Indonesia. 8 Asian countries all in all ang pagpapalabasan nung CF; I think that's excluding Korea and Japan kasi hindi ata available ang Clear doon.

According to our sources, supposed to be around October pa dapat naipalabas yung ad dito pero inuna nila yung kila John Lloyd para magkaroon ng "masa" appeal yung product. Mejo sosyalin kasi ang dating ng Clear dito.

hi, pau. would you have any idea if unilever would similarly give a free rain clear poster here just like in singapore? i already told my husband that he will have to shift to Clear once this happens. hahaha. talk of convincing power. and wow, thx for the info. didnt know that not only was the ad shown here ahead of singapore but also vietnam and indonesia. sikat anman tayo.;) actually i overheard some jeepney passengers talking abt this ad. 'YUN YUNG BIDA SA FULL HOUSE DI BA? SI JUSTIN?"

HAHAHA. that's easy recall. tawagin ba talagang justin si rain up to these days. di makalimot kalimutan kahit pa me bagong FULHAUS local sitcom na si bossing vic. talagang Full House is still the undisputed #1 koreanovela shown in the phils. unbeatable.

[barron]

Rain and Yun Eun-Hye Are China’s Favorite Hallyu Stars
November 27, 2007

According to recent surveys, singing sensation, Rain, and rising star, Yun Eun-Hye, were selected as China’s favorite Hallyu stars.

A Hallyu star popularity vote was cast on the 15th, on a Chinese website by the International Reelection Hallyu Channel (gb.cri.cn/18991/2007/11/14/Zt113@1842259.htm). Rain and Yun Eun-Hye took in an overwhelming number of votes, and were crowned as the top Hallyu stars of 2007.

A total of 15 male and 15 female stars were in the running, and on the morning of the 26th, Rain was bringing in 2,193,388 votes leaving the runner-up, Lee Jun-Gi, far behind in second place. Ju Ji-Hun at the time coming in 3rd place, proving to becoming an up-and-coming star.

Female Hallyu stars were swept away by actresses currently appearing in dramas. The heroine of the drama ‘Gung’, Yun Eun-Hye received a record 2,811,769 votes while Han Chae-Yeong and Song Hye-Gyo came in at 2nd and 3rd with 809,706 and 372,761 votes respectively. Currently on tour in Japan, ‘Asia’s star’, Boa took 106,414 votes, while sexy singer Lee Hyo-Ri received 84,725 votes, standing their ground at 4th and 5th places.

For the '2007 Hallyu Stars with the Most Potential’, netizens selected Super Junior’s Hangeng, and Gan Mi-Yeon, currently awaiting to make her debut in China, as their top picks.

The survey is to last until December 31st in the midst of critical times for Hallyu stars in China.

anong latest kay rain? xa na ba ang gaganap sa fullhouse 2? i mean cla ba ulit ni jenny ng fullhouse? sana cla na lang ulit.... dba may movie xa next year..watch tayo nun ha...


meron bang nag titinda d2 sa manila ng poster ni rain? saan?

kc gus2 kong mag ipon ng maraming maraming picture nya....

[deishi]

korek, RAIN naman tlga. and super love ko din ang clear ad niya at super sikat na mapa sa gma, abs or qtv.

First time ko narinig yun(literally talaga kasi habang pinapalabas yung commercial wala ako sa harap ng tv), akala ko rin "Wayne" yung pangalan ng commercial model ng Clear laking gulat ko ng napanood ko na si RAIN pala yun. I think Koreans have difficulties pronouncing some letters of the English alphabet kaya okay lang. Cute din naman pakinggan.

barron - he's now back in Korea just to do an SK CF & return to US again this first week of December. I don't think he's going to do this Part 2 of FullHouse since he's so busy until next year including his movie to be premiered on May 9. Looking forward to watch this, too. ;)

btw, this may be off topic but i would like to share this video of charice pempengco, a 14 y/o filipina young singer who was invited to sing in a korean tv show STAR KING and she even impressed Super Junior and all the rest of the ppl there, even ellen de generes invited her to guest in her show. wow, im so proud of her. kindly check this out. it was cute how she interacted with the SJ members. i know even rain would probably be impressed with this young diva. i think she was sam concepcion’s contemporary in a singing contest. she lost to him.

07 Dec 03 Korean Stars Going Into Overseas Market



Year 2007 is going to end soon, quite a few Korean stars revealed their Hollywood plan. From Jang Donggun, Jeon Jihyun, Rain to Song Hyekyo, it's no surprise that more and more Korean artists are getting onto the global stage.

(skipped unrelated =p)

Korean super star, Rain finally adjusted his focus on Hollywood from this year onwards. Although the court case of USA world tour was a bad hit, Rain's achievement in filming at least helps him to gain back the confidence. Rain is one of the supporting roles in the Hollywood film <Speed Racer> but it was a very rare opportunity to work with so many famous actors and actresses for a newbie. The film is indeed an excellent experience for Rain.

(skipped the rest... ^ ^;;)

We are planning on updating a video on Rain on Dec. 6th at 12:00 p.m.

We hope that you guys keep supporting and loving Rain.

Thank you

************************************************************************

Ye, the video is already out today…..I’ve seen it. It’s just that I don’t understand what was he saying in the video. :D

[willenette]

Hello, this is J Tune Entertainment.

Here is some more information regarding Rain’s trip to Macau for the CineAsia Awards.

Dec. 6th (Thursday)

Departing: Incheon International Airport @ 9:20 a.m.

Arriving: Macau @ 3:00 p.m. (Macau time)

Because Rain has plans in America, he will be going straight to LA from Macau.

He will not stop by Korea before going to America, so we hope that there is no misunderstanding with the fans.

07.12.11 JYP: Don't be too eager about success, advice to Rain

Park Jinyoung's reminder: Don't show high expectation on Rain, just let him goes on step-by-step!



Park Jinyoung (JYP), the singer-and-producer recently voiced his opinion, "We should lower our expectation on Rain and don't purposely set the targets which are too high for him to reach."

In his interview with <STAR News>, JYP said, "If everything goes on smoothly for Rain, it may not be a good sign. So hope that everyone can hold their eagerness and don't show high expectation on him. Now it's just a beginning for him, a totally new start."

"Whether it's Rain himself, or the people who care about him should lower their expectation. Don't pressurise himself. From the viewpoint of filming, Rain is indeed a newbie, and it's also a new investment from the aspect of businessman." JYP added.

At this moment, it's a new beginning and shouldn't overstress oneself.

People will make mistakes in their life, for sure. However, the high expectation will definitely pressurize Rain and it may result on negtive impact. It's meaningless to be so nervous about success. Lowering the expectation and work out step-by-step, that's the advice of JYP to Rain.

07 Dec 12 Rain Exposes Hip Bones to Sell Jeans and Pockets SGD950,000

[Korea Hot News] By exposing his hip bones to sell jeans, Rain pockets 600 million won (SGD950,000)!

"Asia's Heavenly Prince" Rain garnered 600 million won in modelling fees to expose his hip bones for Calvin Klein Jeans adertisements. In the ad, he exposes his hip bones, a move which scored 100 out of 100.

Rain shot the ad in the desert, deliberately unzipping the fly of his jeans to expose the underwear and his sexy hip bones. Once the ad was published, it immediately became the talk of the town and increased the popularity of Calvin Klein jeans. Rain expressed, modeling winter fashion in the middle of the desert caused him to sweat buckets, however, in order to emote the various sexy male poses, a little perspiration is worth it.

07.12.11 JYP: Don't be too eager about success, advice to Rain

Park Jinyoung's reminder: Don't show high expectation on Rain, just let him goes on step-by-step!



Park Jinyoung (JYP), the singer-and-producer recently voiced his opinion, "We should lower our expectation on Rain and don't purposely set the targets which are too high for him to reach."

In his interview with <STAR News>, JYP said, "If everything goes on smoothly for Rain, it may not be a good sign. So hope that everyone can hold their eagerness and don't show high expectation on him. Now it's just a beginning for him, a totally new start."

"Whether it's Rain himself, or the people who care about him should lower their expectation. Don't pressurise himself. From the viewpoint of filming, Rain is indeed a newbie, and it's also a new investment from the aspect of businessman." JYP added.

At this moment, it's a new beginning and shouldn't overstress oneself.

People will make mistakes in their life, for sure. However, the high expectation will definitely pressurize Rain and it may result on negtive impact. It's meaningless to be so nervous about success. Lowering the expectation and work out step-by-step, that's the advice of JYP to Rain.

True! People are expecting too much from him, now that he's selling globally. Rain should be enjoying everything, every moment of it. Let's help him do what he loves to do - wag natin ipadama sa kanya na trabaho ang ginagawa niya...

Why is it that they said RAIN has failed when in the first place he has not officially debuted in US yet? It’s not over for him but he’s just begun. Now, after his debut if he doesn’t succeed, then it’s fine, Asia has been good enough for him, huh? I hope people would stop comparing him to others because nobody’s alike, so he’s different. :cool:

[virghem]

Sino sa nyo meron pang copy ng picture ni Rain sa Full House. Yung naka Frame na picture dun sa room nya..na may ilaw pa.

Alam ko matagal na ang full house pero kailangan ko lang tlga yung picture..pls. send me an email (densetsu_ghem@yahoo.com).

Maraming salamat. :)

CHARICE PEMPENGCO LIVE ON ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW (12/19/07) showing her vocal prowess with a stunning rendition of Dreamgirls' And I Am Telling You (Complete Version)!!!!

[quotable quotes from ellentv.com]

"I watched this live just now. Charice showed her sweet personality all throughout. Right after this song, it was so touching. Her tears starting coming out and so as her mom. I guess from all their struggles to the culmination of this one great moment on Ellen." "She cried even more when Ellen gave her as a gift an ipod touch after this song (she lost hers on the 13 hrs. flight). She did sing another song at the end of the show - "I Will Always Love You." I tell ya, it was the most beautiful rendition yet from her of this song. Hope someone can post it here soon."
-sushforever

"OMG, what an incredible voice, not only did I get goosebumps, she actually made me cry! What an amazing young talent. It is so refreshing to see a young person channel energy into something positive! I am sure this talented young lady will go far, thanks Ellen for sharing her with us. You Rock!!!!" -- Cindy Kolze

Ellen,
I'm shocked! Where do you find these amazing kids. That's definately a gift from God! When she sang "you're the best Mom I ever had ", I just started balling. My 13 yr old daughter was having a rough night last night. She told me she would be completely lost without me and all I could think of was my daughter the whole time she was singing. I'm still crying! Thankyou for sharing this amazing girl with all of us.
Merry Christmas!!!" - Dorothy

"Well...looks like the audience already looked convinced...saw a lot of them doing this (:-O)
Thank you very much Ellen for giving the kid a well deserved break in the US scene.... I'm speechless after that performance, that kid is incredible. I'm lost for words, how can anyone sing like that? It's not my favorite genre of music but that lil girl almost made me cry." -- John

"Ellen, Thank you for bringing this wonderful young lady into our homes and lives, I can't wait to see her career take off. She will go far with that voice, she is blessed in so many ways and to know that you had a hand in giving her this opportunity has to feel pretty good." - Diane Turner

"I thought Clarice was incredible and I am so excited for her and the endless possiblities she has going for her. It actually reminded me of watching Barbra Streisand when she was starting out. I actually had chills watching this faboulous performance. Ellen, you are so wonderful for helping talented kids get a chance to show their talent. I love you and your show." -- Margie Silver

"what a great performance.
She has a voice of a professional singer or shall i say better than some professional singers. I really do hope and pray that she gets her break.God bless you and may you have all the success that life can bring to you. YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY!!! GOOD LUCK!!! YOU DON'T NEED IT BECAUSE YOU ALREADY GOT IT!" -- Carmela Simmons

"Ellen what an amazing singer Charice is. I had goose bumps and put tears to my eyes. She really deserved the standing O'S." -- Ruthanne Goodwin

"oh my God!!!!!! i was stunned, I'm speechless with this kid, she is one of the best singers I've ever ever heard, i can't believe it that she can sing like that.. i mean who ever knows that this girl could sing a very high pitch song with a unbelievable sining signature, it was one of the most watchable talent i guess, one of the best I've ever seen seriously, this kid can do great in the music scene. and I'm telling you she can do better in the future.. " -- knighty

"Whoa!!!
how could a voice like that coming out from a 15 year old girl??? she is soo... terrific! now, that's an amazing talent from this innocent girl. i had goosebumps... ellen, i think you just become part of her great start. a record deal is imminent!!! Ellen, i admire your ability to see and recognize a GENUINE talent. BRAVO!!! more power to you and your show." -- Edith Bertz

07 Dec 22 [Money Today Star News] Rain Sweeping Across Billboard & Box Office Simultaneously

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/malaydebster/2007122110483316048_1.jpg

Top star singer and actor Rain receives affirmation from the world.

Rain, who will be sneaking into the US movie box office market through Hollywood's work <Speed Racer> by 2008, will be distributing his global record with a brand-new image; rolling up the Billboard charts to the number 1 ranking, thus proving the worth of his reputation as a world-class star.

Playing an Asian-American named "Taejo Togokhan" in <Speed Racer>, Rain is stepping up with his fluency in English and his steady acting skills, giving himself a favorable impression and receiving high praises from the American audience.

Rain specifically aimed at the Asian region to launch promotional activities by using this movie <Speed Racer> as something that will be widely known by its people; as he is evaluated and designated as the Asian star most wanted by Hollywood producers. As Rain is successful in his first step into the US market, his status as a singer has also received extreme attention.

As he works his way up into the first ranking on the Billboard charts with his global record release, Rain's special edition during this time has been set as the union between every kind of pop music between the East and the West. Therefore Rain's music record activities in the US will attract much attention. With this, at the year end of 2007, Rain mentioned that "next year I hope to bring everyone astonishing news". Not only has Rain adhered to the promise he has made to his fans, he has also made a more definite development in his direction of being a world star.

Korean singer Rain to sing Beijing 2008 Olympics Song

In an article on Daum today, it is reported that World Star Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) has been chosen to perform the Beijing 2008 Olympic Song. The song is about "hope and courage".

Rain is currently in the States, busy working on a Hollywood movie. When contacted, Bi expressed great interest in this project.

Many will probably ask if it is apt for a Korean star to be given the honour to sing the Olympic theme song. Why not choose a Chinese singer? How about Lee Hom or Jay Chou? How come a Korean artist was chosen?

Well, i guess Rain's World Star status and charisma has won the hearts of the organizers and he has been selected. They also state that, Rain has many Chinese fans and has made a name for himself in China. Rain has been on quite a few advertisements in the Chinese market namely, Pepsi Cola, Pantech (mobile phone), DHC cosmetics and Fuma (a Chinese mainland brand). Thus organizers claim that Bi is very popular and has a huge fan base in China.

The Olympics is the most prestigious sports event which brings the entire world population in unity. Thus it will be a huge opportunity for Rain to put a stamp on his "World Star" status.

Organizers are also banking on Rain's debut into the USA market this year with his Hollywood movie "Speed Racer". The movie is scheduled for release in Malaysia on 8 May 2008.

Only five days into the new year and already 2008 is beginning to look like a promising year for hallyu star Rain.

Rain Clarifies Olympic Song Rumor

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter

Korean pop singer and actor Rain has not been chosen to perform the 2008 Beijing Olympics theme song, according to his management agency J Tunes.

J Tunes issued the clarification, after reports surfaced that Rain would be performing the theme song for the Olympics this summer. ``An agency in China asked Rain to record a 'candidate' song for the Olympics, but we have not yet recorded any song,'' J Tunes said.


J Tunes said Rain would be honored if he were chosen to perform the official song for the Olympics.

Beijing Olympic organizers will announce the official song and singer, 100 days before the start of the Olympics. The Beijing Olympics will run from Aug. 8 to 24.

Rain is one of the most popular Korean singers and actors in China. He has appeared in numerous advertisements for Pepsi, DHC cosmetics and other products in China. Rain is also appearing in the highly anticipated Hollywood film ``Speed Racer'' this year.

Last year, Chinese superstar Jackie Chan recorded, ``We are Ready,'' an official song that marked the countdown to the Beijing Olympics.

*** I’m expecting it, too. This is good news. Can’t wait for it to come out. I hope we get more news soon since premier is nearing…May. :)


*****************************************************************
The film <Speed Racer> casted by Rain is nominated as the most expected film in year 2008!

Previously Rain dressed up with traditional Korean costume and greeted his fans happy new year. Meanwhile, his agency also revealed his future plan to cast in a new Hollywood film directed by a famous director.

Just recently, Rain's film <Speed Racer> was chosen as one of the TOP10 most expected films in year 2008 by Yahoo netizens. On the other hand, Rain and another female singer, Lee Sooyoung won "The Best Male Singer" and "The Best Female Singer" in 2007 Mobile Performance Awards.

***Poor him…..false rumors &reports are really difficult to handle. And why would RAIN commit suicide? Just because of all these things? He’ll never do this…this is so funny. Being a superstar like him is so tough. A photo or anything can turn into big news for a very popular celebrity like him. :(
**********************************************************
The hardest time in Rain’s life was not when all of his US concerts were cancelled and fled to Berlin, but when rumors about his suicide spread like wild fire among the Chinese Netizens in April of 2006. It hit him hard when he first encountered the rumor but he learned to let it go as he started to pity those who started the rumor.

if you want to hear him brag about his past successes, workouts and English studies, check out Rain’s interview on OBS Kyungin TV on January 12th.

popseoul.com (http://popseoul.com/2008/01/09/rain-cant-handle-false-rumors/)

[willenette]

I think he just doesn’t want to be criticized that’s why he turned it down. But just really want to confirm it if the organizer really offered him to sing the theme song. They deserve a punch to death. This might be a fake report. Most of the time medias are just trying to sell stories. J. Tune said that he was offered to sing but hasn’t recorded any song yet. Luckily, he knows that a Chinese singer should be the one to sing the theme song. For this, I admire him, I give my full credit to him. It’s a great opportunity but well…..I support his decision. :p

***************************************************************

Unexpectedly, Rain turned down the golden opportunity to sing for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He reasoned that it makes more sense for a Chinese singer to be the voice of the 2008 Olympics, but he is planning another event for the Olympics. Glad to see the shrimp eyed star starting off the year on the right foot. Let’s hope that it lasts.

Unfortunately, Rain’s announcement will end the cyber war among the Chinese and Korean netizens who are currently getting carried away at their keyboards to express their conflicting opinions. No more entertainment for those indifferent observers.

The Reminiscence of A Fangirl - A Dedication to Jung JiHoon

It's been a long time since I posted in this thread http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8444/licksmiley4wb.gif Sorry for being random and for such a long post...

I was feeling a little nostalgic after hearing Handshake on another site. Perhaps it was me not having heard the song in a long time. Perhaps it was her talking about Bi being the unfortunate target of bad press or perhaps it was her saying how much she liked that song, a song from his first album which was much more free of the "smoke, smoke, video, video" effects and all.

When that song just suddenly played into my ears, I suddenly felt all the love I had in the start...Just like the time when I was a fresh fangirl when he was just a relatively fresh faced star trying to make his mark. He was the one who started me on Kpop, Kdrama and all things K - the very first love.

As I was listening to the song, I thought of the days I chased him when he was here, of the days when he was just Bi, the charismatic performer who swooned us with his killer moves and heartfelt renditions. That song was so simple but in it I felt I was really listening to Jung JiHoon.

I was a late fan but I know of his journey and had witnessed his meteoric rise. I must admit I don't love him as much as I used to but he still occupies such a special and irreplaceable place in this fangirl's heart.

I feel happy for him that he is that much closer to being a world star that he wanted. I really feel sad for him when there's so much bad press and I know some of it is probably not true. I feel sad when I see much of that fresh innocence gone. Sometimes, he just looks weary and drained. I cannot help but feel at times that something's been lost and loneliness has taken its place.

Somehow, listening to that song brought me to a moment when Bi was so much more Jung JiHoon, when everything was so much simpler, when he would shine even if there was nothing on stage. Just like the complicated setup and the complications of the last tour, I do miss the days when things were just so much simpler for him.

I pray for his good health and the day where his troubles will be less and I will see that dazzling smile on his face again -the smile that reaches his eyes and comes from his heart.

Jung JiHoon Fighting!

I am also a late fan, but I believe that Rain have moved on and so, all of us Biers should. Everything that's happening to him now is the price of fame and fortune. Better, much better than in a steady place with no movement all. But still, you're right, JUNG JIHOON FIGHTING and we must support him all the way!

Jay Chou conferred Chinese version of Rain - 1000+ Korean fans attend film primiere, Friday January 11, 2008

Yesterday, Jay attended the film primiere of his latest film 'Secrets' in South Korea and also grant interviews to the local media. Around 1,000 plus fans were there to support.
The local media also described him as the Chinese version of Rain, meaning to say Jay's popularity is equivalent to that of heavenly king Rain in South Korea.

At the premiere, Jay greeted fans in Korean, what surprised him most was some local fans actually spoke Mandarin when asking questions.
He told the local media said he did not expect to have so many fans in Korea and he's surprised by their warmth support and enthusiasm.

Jay and his family had visited Seoul before on holiday's but this time round it's for work.
The feeling is different, to be able to bring my own workpiece to South Korea and meet-up with the audience; I'm even more happier.

With regards to the local media comparing him to Rain;
Jay commented that they have not met in private but have seen one another's performance on stage.
He added that Rain is full of charisma and charm and he personally admire him but their music style is completely different, there's nothing to compare.

He disclosed that his knowledge and understanding on films are gained

from Zhang Yimou and Lau Waikeung. The two of them influenced him alot, after trying out as a director, he's found it to be very difficult. It'll be one to two years later before he starts acting again. At the moment, he feels that he still has shortcomings. The only option is to learn as he go along.

yup jay chou is a very famous taiwanese singer actor but rain is definitely more handsome and more charismatic. but i'd like to commend jay for a very good acting role in THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER. if rain can be given that, i'd be very happy as it has also been my dream for rain to do a historical drama or film. imagine, jay pitted with bigtime asian actors like chow yun fat and gong li

Hi docirene - thanks for the message. I agree with you but sorry can't comment more about JZ since I'm not really familiar about him. Really, it's your dream for RAIN to do a period drama? Me, I'm not into period dramas but if he's in it, I would surely watch it just like what I did for Bae Yong Joon. :D

[willenette]

tiny bit of the OBS clip:



At around 8:05, his phone rang (or beeped) while being interviewed. The interviewer is curious and asks 'who is that? Is that a girl?' :laugh I think Bi answered "no it's not a girl" :x: :whistle:

translated by kairu/sexybi

this is a real noisy interviewer hihi he even stood up to look at the display
hihi i thought bi would hide

*** this is what the photos we've seen meant, why he's holding his mobile & showed it to the interviewer. Wondering who called him? I believe him when he told him that it's not a girl since if it was, he won't show it to him as what he did, much more if the girl calling is famous, too. Don't you think so? :)

talaga. I loved Jumong so much i just wish Rain would be offered a good role in a historical drama just like Song Il Gook (he was equally good or exceptional in Emperor of the Seas). btw, i recently bought what i thought was a historical drama starring BYJ. i just got disappointed bec. it was more fantasy/magical than it was historical. i didnt even get past the 2nd episode. ayoko kc ng mga dragons, ghosts etc.

RAIN SIGNS FOR SAMSUNG'S OLYMPIC CAMPAIGN

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter
The Korea Times

Korean pop star and actor Rain signed a one-year contract with Samsung Electronics, the official sponsor for wireless communications at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Yonhap News quoted Rain's management agency J Tune Entertainment as saying Rain will be the model for Samsung Anycall's advertising campaign for the Beijing Olympics. He will also sing Samsung Anycall's Olympic commercial theme song, as well as appear in billboards and posters.

Rain is one of the most popular Korean stars in China, because of his roles in TV dramas such as ``Full House.'' He has appeared in advertisements for Pepsi, DHC cosmetics and Chinese confectionary brand Fuma. He also appears in the highly anticipated Hollywood film "Speed Racer'' this year.

Rain was earlier rumored to have been asked to perform official song for the Olympics ― but this turned out to be false. He has clarified that a Chinese agency asked him to record a "candidate song'' that will be submitted for consideration by the Olympic committee.

Samsung Anycall is known for hiring top Korean stars for its high-profile advertising campaigns. Last year, Samsung Anycall's campaign "Talk, Play, Love'' featured Korean pop singer BoA, Epik High rapper Tablo, TVXQ member Xiah and jazz pianist Jin Bora.

Rain worked volunteer in Taeon, South Korea (Rain’s portion only on Jan 16th news)

Rain worked as oil spill clean-up volunteer worker in Taeon, South Korea
Taeon district said “Feel the beauty of life from a quiet image”

Singer/artist, Rain, real name Ji Hoon Jeong: Worked quietly as a volunteer to clean up the worst oil in Taeon, South Korea in cold weather.

One of Taeon oil spill clean-up volunteer worker said Rain worked hard as volunteer to clean up the worst oil under the cold weather on Jan 16th.

On Jan 16th, around 10:30 am, the weather was extremely cold especially in the morning, the skin seems like cracked in such low temperature. Rain insisted to clean up the worst oil although the sea water was freezing cold. Rain’s father occasionally visited Taeon and he came with 20 workers on this day.

Per J. Tune, they really want to do something for Taeon. Then, Rain motivated all staffs from his company to clean up the worst oil together.

Taeon rescue team officer responded in the phone interview,
“Mr. Ji Hoon Jeong was working so hard. He even motivated his staffs to clean up the worst oil together. As an actor and artist, he shows his power. Ji Hoon believed something needs to be done for Taeon; he worked sincerely and did not catch anybody’s attention. He insisted to finish his work. It shows his real personality in this case”

Per this rescue team officer, some press reporters found Rain when he took off his hat during rest time. After a while, those reporters walked close to him. However, Rain did not pay attention to them and continued to do the clean-up job quietly.

Rescue team officer said, “Mr. Ji Hoon Jeong neither say anything nor look at anybody, he just worked quietly.”

….Rain finished the post-production of movie “Speed Racer”. He just came back Seoul on the 14th. Originally, he wanted to plan to take a short break. He went back his office on the 15th, then he worked as oil spill clean-up volunteer worker in Taeon on the 16th…..Rain is planning to go back USA 10 days later, scheduled the details for his new Hollywood movie…The primarily shooting schedule for new movie is around on March and April…

That’s so nice & kind of him, his dad & his staff to help out with that. It happened last December & he’s in US that time. Now, that he’s back in Korea, he gave his time to do this. This is touching for some stars also who do this. And he did this only yesterday. I think this oil spill is really terrible since they’re still cleaning it up to now. So happy to know what he’s doing at the moment. And it’s still very cold right now there & I hope he’s going to take care of himself.



Oh, he’ll be in Korea only for a short time then go back again to US, huh? Gosh, so happy that he has another movie to be shot either around March/April. :D

sadly, i havent. are these in YT? so far, the chances for putting up rain tarps here in the phils seems nil accg to a post i read in one blog site. it says, as soon as the new local endorser for clear is aired, chances are that of rain's may not be seen anymore. this is all the more saddening, di ba?

It's news today, saying bi has signed a one-year contract with this miao group in China for 1 billion won i.e. around US$1million(from Apr 2008 to Apr 2009) for their new sportswear line called millow sport. He will probably do the CF in Shanghai China.

Fans get together for good deed to follow their stars' footsteps make you warm all over in this cold winter.


Rain's management company, J. tune, revealed on 18th, "Rain's USA fan club members recently sent the disaster fund to Tae An - Gun, Pardo - Li."

According to J. Tune, Rain's USA fan club members heard about Rain's good deed at Tae An on 16th and decided to followed the footstep by donation.


Tae An - Gun personnel said, "We don't know how to thank to Rain and Rain fans for Rain fans' donations followed by Rain's volunteer work and donation of the necessary items.

Because of cold weather, the numbers of volunteers are decreasing every day. But after the news of Rain's good deed, the number of volunteers and donations are starting to grow."

My latest in my folder is his SKTelecom CF, his new year greetings & the making of this CF. :D

[willenette]

This is based on a Korean fan’s friend’s account. On 1/19 Rain got a trim at a beauty palour where this fan’s friend works. Rain wore a yellow hooded sweatshirt, jeans and carried his (LV?) backpack. It’s a high-end beauty palour that movie stars/entertainers frequently patronize. It was said that Rain was there just to get a trim. He looked very fit with bulging muscles (looks like he’s been working out frequently lately). This fan’s friend was completely captivated by our handsome Rain (HeHe, who wouldn’t?)

Wala siyang drama pa ngayon after ALTK because he'll be very busy with his hollywood movies & US debut this year. I hope he can give us another drama end of this year.

Kakanta siya sa Beijing Olympics but not the theme song but the song of Samsung who's the sponsor for this event. :D

a VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT from Cloud Philippines...

I know you're all waiting for this. We promised to give you something BIG and EXCITING, so here goes... ;D

First off: the BIG news is...

SPEED RACER IS COMING OUT IN THE PHILIPPINES ON MAY 7, 2008.

Yup, you read that right! The Philippines will experience Speed Racer a full THREE DAYS ahead of the US of A! (that's counting the time difference)

And since you asked for it, we're gonna give it to you. Cloud Philippines is holding a special GROUP SCREENING exclusively for all Rain fans in the Philippines!

http://www.cloudphilippines.com/posts/speed-ad2.jpg

*please click on the link to view the poster

Here are the details:

1. The Premiere Theater at Shangri-La Cineplex houses 88 pax limited seating capacity. In case our confirmed attendees exceed 88 persons, we can still change the venue to Greenbelt 3 Cinemas which can house 160 persons. But we need a confirmed total number of attendees first before we make this step.

We need the participants' confirmation ahead of time and on FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis. This is also to facilitate preparation of our gifts and giveaways.

We shall appreciate confirmation of attendance as early as NOW.

2. Payment for the ticket is also required in advance. We shall be providing everyone the payment details later.

3. As per Shangrila Cineplex' rules, we are required to be at the cinema ON TIME. As of now, we don't know the exact screening time of the movie since it's still in post-production phase and all... The time on the invite is the preferred screening time we selected.

We should also abide by the Cineplex's house rules, ie., no bringing of food and beverages except from those purchased from their snack bar.

4. We are also considering having a small CloudPH get-together 2-3 hours before the screening. Currently, there are no available restaurants/fastfood chains at Shangri-la which can accomodate functions aside from Cravings which can only house a maximum of 40 persons. If you would like us to have a small gathering before the event, please let us know by posting a reply at this thread expressing your intention to join. An additional fee for the food will be asked of you should the mini-gathering pushes through. Of course, a mini-gathering would mean additional treats for the attendees. The estimated total fee for this would be P500.00 (P250.00 for the screening and P250.00 for the mini-gathering).

Please take note that we will only push through with the mini-gathering if we have reached a total number of 30 CONFIRMED and PAID attendees. So please do state your intention to join as early as NOW so that we'll have ample time to prepare.


Cloud Philippines is currently coordinating with Warner Bros. Pictures for possible promotional tie-ups and activities where the Club may participate.

FINAL NOTE: As we are not holding our event on the first day of showing in consideration of those who cannot make it on weekdays, it doesn't mean we are stopping you from watching Speed Racer before our event. In fact, the more times you watch, the better. Just follow the Vilmanian principle: pay, watch, get out of the theater, pay again, watch again, get out again... (repeat to infinity)

We anticipate everyone's participation in this momentous event.

PH CLOUDS SUPPORT RAIN!

A Korean Cloud saw Jihoon outside J.Tune today

Heard he's thinned a lot.
Indeed, he did look much thinner today.
He didn't style his hair, just let it down.
Because his hair is really long, it settled on a center parting naturally.
A first glance, ah! "Jesus concept"!
His hair is bright chestnut in colour...
His long hair was drifted in the breeze
Just like the silky strands of a baby (makes you feel like touching it!)
The people in front went up to talk to him, and he responded.

Went straight into the car park from his office.
Heard he's going for afilming session...

P.S: Mr Security ajussi said Jihoon's a very, very polite person. Very suave!



*** Wondering what is he going to film? Jesus concept? Ye, probably because it’s that long, the style & it settled on a center. Hmmmmm…..lucky fan, huh? Envy her! And he gets thinner. I want to see him, the photo. :)

08 Jan 25 [Kona] Rain Returns to Korea As Overseas Fans Also Head There

Rain, returns to South Korea as overseas fans also head there to see him.

In order to see singer Rain, overseas fans entering into the country has become a hot topic. On the 14th, Rain temporarily ended his overseas activities in the U.S. and returned to his homeland. Coinciding with his return, there have been about 20 fans 'pitching camp' in front of his company everyday. It is not hard to see the fans' absolute dedication in wanting to see Rain, even if it is only for a short instance.

Every time he goes through in and out he is so friendly to the fans in response to their sincerity towards him. His company's side said,

"Whenever Rain see his fans waiting outside, he gets very worried. Because the office is so narrow, there is no means to look after the fans (?). When the weather is cold, he will always ask the fans to go home sooner. And for the sake of the fans, he is working on planning the direction of his company." We share the same hope as Rain, that is to become a "World Star" soon, and to look after the fans well.

KTO’s TV CF Takes First Place At This Year’s 'Adrian Awards'

Korea Tourism Organization (CEO Oh, Ji-cheol)’s TV advertisement and promotional video entries will be announced as this year’s gold and silver winners at the Adrian Awards on January 29th (Jan.28 6:00PM EST in New York) at New York’s Marriot marquis Hotel.

KTO launched their new ‘Korea, Sparkling’ tourism brand in 2007 in order to generate greater international awareness. Impressively, the organization’s TV commercial took 1st place in the travel service category, while their Taekwondo/Temple Stay PR films took second place.

The TV CF (television commercial film) took about 6 months to film, and covers numerous different aspects of Korean culture. Viewers can see the country’s beautiful four seasons, the main production districts of Korea, Dodamsambong, Danojeol folk games, DMB phones, World Cup cheers, B-Boys, clubbing culture as well as a host of other attractions. Also in the promotional video is world star ‘Rain’ as the featured model, presenting a diverse variety of tourism images including Korea’s natural wonders along with the state-of-the-art IT industry Korea has to offer. The TV CF was broadcasted in 85 countries including all major Asian countries including Japan and China, and on 10 channels such as CNN, National Geographic, and the Discover Channel in Europe, North America, and South America, in hopes of increasing international tourism.

The promotional film introduced Korea’s diverse cultures and charms

in a very effective manner and received favorable reviews in doing so. Last year, KTO was awarded with a series of prizes at six major international media contests for its primary role in the international promotion of Korea.

KTO’s Brand Advertising Team’s Choe Seong-Woo stated, “This award has been effective in receiving recognition for the new Korean tourism brand, and we hope that the new brand will bring much anticipated success in spreading the Korean tourism image during the first semester. In 2008, KTO is in the finishing stages of the 2nd set of advertisements for the ‘Korea, Sparkling’ brand and an exciting new PR film, in order for further tourism promotions.

Hi ibel and tarong, yan ang nasa desktop ko ngayon . . . ang cute ano kahit cartoon pix ni Rain cute pa rin.

OT:Last year (last quarter of 2007) pa yang drama ni BYJ yung The Legend. Last year ko pa na d/l kaya lang nang makita ko yung teaser sa GMA ay pinanood ko na. Ang role ni BYJ ay si King Gwanggaetong (The Great King) and long hair sya dun sa drama para ring si Jumong. Ang ganda ng visual/special effects ng drama. Para na ngang movie ang dating. Sori OT.

Yoon Kye-sang, Son Ho-young, Danny Ahn, Rain, Eric, Yoon Eun-hye, Ahn So-hee, Lee Min-woo, Park Jeong-ah..
This is the list of top Korean singers.

Their talents and individuality attracted so many fans to fall in love with them. Sometime as a solo, and other times as a member in a group, they had been on the stage singing for their fans.

However, a whole new story kicks in when they choose the screen as their new stage. The long stagnation in music industry and the introduction of a new concept of "multi-entertainer" increased the demand for multi-talented stars who are talented in not only singing but dancing and acting as well. Consequently, these singers made acting as their second career.

For example, Rain (Jung Ji-hoon) in Director Park Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK", Eric Moon (Moon Jung-hyuk) in "A Bittersweet Life" and "Diary of June" and Yoon Eun-hye in "The Legend of Seven Cutter" have all made their debuts in the film industry.

(skipped unrelated)..........

On the contrary, the TV dramas starred by these singer-actors became huge hits. Examples include Rain's "Full House" and "Sang Doo! Let's go to school", Eric's "Revenge" and Yoon Eun-hye's "Coffee Prince". And many of them can be seen in various entertainment shows as many music programs have closed down.

There's no doubt that the TV viewers are familiar with these singers. However they aren't strong appeal as a main character in a film. Director Yoon said, "If the audience see these stars as actors rather than singers, they will be satisfied with their performance. But we don't have such atmosphere yet".

However, many critiques agreed that the singers should continue to make their debut into the film industry. Because the "actor shortage" phenomenon and the need of these singers to extend their career is closely intertwined and provide solutions to each problems.

translated by: http://hancinema.net/ (http://hancinema.net/)




*** Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with this as long as they can act. But some who can’t, they just better stick to singing because it can only be irritating to watch. I’m sure RAIN & Eric are great actors, too.

Most envied celebrity bodies

Netizens have casted their votes, and have concluded that the most envied celebrity bodies are Lee Hyori's (29) and Rain's (26). An online poll asked netizens, "If you could, which celebrity would you want to switch bodies with?", and the results (drumroll): Lee Hyori and Rain. World star, Rain, got his winning votes for his well-developed figure: his height, muscular body, and his cute face. Lee Hyori got her winning votes for similar reasons: her tight body line and people's love for the way she smiles with her eyes. Along with this winning "couple", runner-ups included Kwon Sang Woo-Kim Ah Joong, Song Seung Hun-Han Chae Young, and Gong Yoo-Yoon Eun Hye.

Rain Is Confident of His Step Into America Through Speed Racer"

Translation:
When mentioning the name of the most influential Korean artist in the entertainment world for the last 5 years, the name Rain most definitely comes into mind. Since his talent was discovered by singer/producer Park Jin-young, Rain's name has jumped sky-high. From the success of his debut album <Bad Guy> in 2002, followed by the success of the <Full House> series to the film <I'm A Cyborg But That's OK>, until today Rain's name is always mentioned among young multi-talented artists. Singing is okay, acting is also good.

The power of Rain in Korea and other Asian countries has been proven through the success of his TV series and concerts around Asia this past year. This year, aside from having the opportunity to make an album in America, Jung Ji-hoon has also received a golden opportunity to act in a Hollywood production called <Speed Racer>. "Bintang" has discussed several times before about how busy Rain is in this movie project under the direction of Andy and Larry Wachowski. Rain has even managed to 'hide' in Berlin for awhile for shooting purposes. After which, he must go back and forth between Korea and America to work on improving his English and the production of his new album. Please, how busy is Rain?

As a figure who is always appearing before the public, Rain's appearance certainly becomes the focus. Whether on stage or on the TV screen, his appearance becomes an important factor. When he is on stage, Rain often brings songs along with energetic dance moves. Hmm, if this is the way, then sweating is impossible to be avoided. But Rain is still very confident whenever he appears before the public. "I used to be very shy, but now I'm a public figure who has to appear in front of many people. After awhile, I start getting used to this kind of situation. I'm more confident these days," says the man who has a hobby of collecting clothes. Yes, as the one who adores the colors red and black, he is confident with his style of fashion and stylish hair that is clear of dandruff. It is hard to ignore that Rain's self-confidence in whatever situation has brought him success and crazy adoration by mostly females. As a model with high self-confidence and the addition of a trendy and stylish appearance, it is appropriate for Rain to become a global icon for Clear Shampoo.

In <Speed Racer>, Rain plays Taejo Togokhan, an Asian race car driver. For this man born on 25 June 1982, receiving the belief of his ability to act in a Hollywood production was an opportunity that could not be passed. Although there was initial hesitation, the feeling of his high self-confidence pushed him to accept the challenge. Rain believes that he is capable of bringing Asia to the forefront of international film. "Nominations in Times' 100 Most Influential People and People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People are due to the support of my fans. But I will be judged even more through this Hollywood movie and the 1st album in America. Everything will occur in stages, so I will not be hoping for success to come so quickly. That is the challenge," he explained. Still, there was a small hint of confidence in Rain's tone, "What will I do if <Speed Racer> becomes top in the box office?" Hmm, what then?

respond to the survey question "Who is the favorite Korean Star you would like to celebrate Lunar

According to a survey by the web page specialized in Korean Films in Vietnam: KST (krfilm.net), the majority of Vietnamese fans selected Actor Lee Jun Ki as their number one Idol to celebrate the Lunar New Year with.

Second in ranking is none other than the multi-talented Singer/Actor Bi-Rain with 16.96% of the overall votes. Despite the fact that last year was not a spectacular year for Rain in the Music Platform but Bi held his own position in the heart of his adoring Vietnamese fans. Hopefully, Bi will becomes even more successful with his debut in the Hollywood movie next year.

Fourth on the ranking poll is Gong Yoo.

Last but not least among the top five favorite stars is the youthful Jang Geun Suk .

08 Feb 06 Rain Participating In Production of Soundtrack For "Kung Fu Panda"

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/malaydebster/32156e346e3a21f92efd739739dfcb33.jpg


Singer Rain will be participating in the making of Hollywood animation "Kung Fu Panda"s original soundtrack. A Japanese movie website reported this: "Singer Rain participated in the making of the animation "Kung Fu Panda" in the US." Rain's role in this time's production of the soundtrack for "Kung Fu Panda" is the first for a South Korean singer to be a part of the soundtrack for an American movie. 4 months ago Rain had received the proposal for the soundtrack by the production company for this animation. They are currently in the discussion stage, after which the agreement will soon be signed. Rain will start participating in the making of the soundtrack for "Kung Fu Panda" after his leave of absence for the lunar holidays mid-February. A staff in charge from Rain's representative company J.Tune recently disclosed Rain's plans for 2008 in an SPN interview: "In 2008, as a singer and an actor, Rain will be participating in more activities overseas." "Kung Fu Panda" is set to be on the big screen in June in the US.

our dear Rain is really going places and im so proud of him. i wonder when he will be doing another korean tv series. i miss seeing him act in one of those koreanovelas. i have seen my dvds of FH, Sangdoo and ALTK several times already. i love to see him play a new role ,in a historical drama perhaps.

grabe sa dinami dami na ng mga koreanovelas na napanood ko, laluna pag romantic comedy like FH, di ko mapigilang mamiss si rain. at sa drama naman ay di pahuhuli si rain sa husay umarte like in Sangdoo and ALTK. bakit nga ba ang dami namang mas pogi sa kanyang mga korean actors pero iba pa din siya? multi-talented kc siya. whereas others can only act, he excels in acting, singing and dancing. sana gumawa na uli sya ng isang new tv series.

[tarong]

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!!!!

docirene, ok lang sis kaya lang super lamig d2 ngayon, siguro dahil sobrang snow sa Iran, malapit lang kc to don, saka papalit na rin ang panahon. sa tanong mo kung kilala sya d2 hindi pa e, sa cable lang may kbs di naman sila nanonood ng korean channel puro english, hollywood at arabic lang, pero syempre pagnapalabas ang speed racer yes, makilala na rin nila si RAIN, :p kaya lang delayed magpalabas d2 kung dyan palabas sa MAY d2 sa JULY pa,nyakkkkk

Talagang maganda ata talaga ang year na to para sa kanya... sana derederetso na, nakakabilib talaga ang lakas ng loob nya, i wonder what it feels like to be with hollywood stars and be a hollywood star, o di ba??? grabe na to,hahaha ginagawa na ba nya yung bagong movie nya?

Yoon Eun-hye, Rain, Han Ye-seul… Stars cried and laughed over substitute casting

What is a common thing between Yoon Eun-hye, Rain, Han Ye-seul, Jo Seung-woo and Kim Ah-joong? They have all became big stars through 'substitute casting'. On 13th, the cable channel's Story On's 'Cover story' deals with those 'substitute casts' who earned their roles over their original casts and made a big hits.

The recent example is Yoon Eun-hye from drama "Coffee Prince" who literary was a centre of attention during the course of the drama. Initially, the role was first suggested to Kim Ah-joong but she was under an exclusive contract with a shampoo company and a contract term states that she maintains long hair until the contract finishes. So the role was given to Yoon Eun-hye, who was prepared to cut her hair short for the role.

Last year's big issue, "Fantastic Couple"'s Jo An-na, Han Ye-seul, was also a substitute cast of Uhm Jung-hwa who refused the role due to her busy schedule from releasing her 9th album at the time. Despite the fact, Han Ye-seul brought out the character within herself and created many 'analects of Jo An-na', which became a sensational hit throughout the country. However, once in the past, Han Ye-seul same mistake as Uhm Jung-hwa when she refused to be in "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" and Jeong Ryeo-won took her place. The drama was literally a jackpot when it was on-air.

This goes same to Rain in "Full House". Initially, the producing staffs gave the role to Jung Woo-sung and then to Lee Jeong-jae. Even so, Rain showed constant interests to the staffs of starring in the drama and when Lee Jeong-jae turned down the offer in preparing for his film "Typhoon", Rain eventually got the role.

The film industry has no exception. Jo Seung-woo, who perfectly digested the role of autistic 20 years old man with the brain capacity of 5 years old in the film "Marathon" grabbed his chance when Shin Ha-gyoon, who was busy shooting other film and Park Hae-il, who felt a burden to act an autistic man, rejected the role.

Kim Ah-joong from "200 Pounds Beauty" also went around few turns before she could get her hand on the role. The directing staffs suggests many top female stars include Ko So-young, Kim Hee-seon, Lee Na-young and Soo-ae but many felt uneasy about a character who undergoes a complete cosmetic makeover. Meanwhile, Kim Ah-joong came into their eyes and she was given the role.

Also there are unlucky stars who have rejected their chances of fame. Cha In-pyo have rejected 'Shiri', 'The Foul King', "The Host", "Friend", 'Kick the moon', 'My Wife Is a Gangster' and 'My Boss, My Hero' and Kim Hee-seon missed out in 'Autumn in my Heart', "All In", 'Winter Sonata', 'Lovers in Paris', 'Phoenix' and 'Sorry, I Love You'.

i didnt know that Rain was just 2nd choice for FH. i thought it was really offered ONLY to him cuz the role suited him to a T. geez, this catapulted him to full stardom. well that's all in the past now and RAIN is larger than life now. and yes i see Cruel Love in kbs world now. i know it was originally meant for Rain but KSW is a good replacement though. i like them both.

Hi cfc - OMG – it’s a hot concert! I love his ponytail, it reminds me of Bae Yong Joon. A bit higher looks nicer. That headband is so cute. I’m so loving this image – cute, HOT & sexy at the same time. I love seeing those sexy muscles again. Looking good, RAIN! Seriously, I really don’t know why this guy is beautifully packaged. I love to see him back on-stage, miss him so much on-stage. Judging from the VODs, it was an awesome concert. :D

Pop star Rain will receive the 2008 Korea Image Stepping Stone Award in recognition of his contribution to promoting a positive image of Korea through his music, the Corea Image Communication Institute announced Monday.
Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, is one of Asia's most successful and well-loved artists, and has recently clinched a major role in a Hollywood film,.

The institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting Korea internationally.

The awards ceremony will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Grand InterContinental Hotel on Feb. 19, during which the heartthrob singer/actor will perform.

Also joining the event will be last year's awardee, maestro Chung Myung-Whun, who will perform with violinist Dennis Kim, cellist Song Young-hoon and violist Hung-Wei Huang.

Rain began his singing career after releasing his first solo album, "Bad Guy," in 2002, a huge success that was followed by other popular albums. He gained worldwide fame when Korean pop culture, particularly pop music and television dramas, became hugely popular several years ago in Asia and other regions.

He launched his acting career with starring roles in the Korean television drama "Full House" in 2004 and the movie "I'm a Cyborg and That's Okay" in 2006. In the same year, Rain was named one of the 100 Most Influential People by Time Magazine and one of the 100 Most Beautiful People a year later by People Magazine.

Rain recently concluded a contract with William Morris Agency, a New York-based major talent agency that represents entertainers such as Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Russell Crowe. He will make his official Hollywood debut in May with a supporting role in "Speed Racer," a family movie written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski (of the "Matrix" trilogy).

The 26-year-old star has also been cast in a major role in "Ninja Assassin," which will be produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowski Brothers, and directed by James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta").

"This will mark the beginning of the second chapter of my life. It is an opportunity that I never want to miss," he said during a press conference in Seoul on Wednesday.

Last month, he lent a helping hand to the nationwide volunteer campaign to clean up an oil spill on the west coast, and donated 300 million won ($32,000).

Answers from the Heart – The RAINing Prince

Article from Sincere Magazine Thailand No.52
By: MASHI
Direct translation from Thai to English by farmer@sexybi

Q: Apart from your talents in singing and dancing, what else do you do?

A: Previously I was filming a movie, but from now on, I would like to fully enter the international market. As for my well-being, everything is proceeding normally. I also intend to familiarize myself in business management; in the sector that I am most specialized with.

Q: People around you often say that you are very genuine. For you, what do you feel is the most important trait?

A: An important trait besides being genuine is the power of perseverance. If one cannot persevere, one will not be able to win. In addition, effort is what takes us to reach our goals. The more effort you put in, the sooner your goals will be realized.

Q: You are a person who is very famous and well-known. Have you ever thought of/wanted to return back to being just a regular guy? Because it seems like you rarely have any personal time for yourself.

A: I’ve debuted for about 5 years already, so my everyday life today has become my norm. I’ve never thought that I live differently from any other person. Before, I normally shopped at places unknown to many; but nowadays, I don’t really have many chances to do such things. But that doesn’t mean that my life isn’t the same as before. I still try to find places to shop where people don’t really frequent. (laughs)

Q: You always put in over a hundred percent effort in everything you do. For you, achieving this point has always been what you expected for yourself, right?

A: When I received the Daesung Award in 2004 and thanked my mother in my speech, that was the highest point of achievement for me already. It made me realize that I have grown and progressed so much at that point. I was the son that mother was proud of. That dream has already become a reality for me.

Q: Do you hold anyone to your esteem?

A: If in the terms of an actor, I would have to say Song Kang Ho (Secret Sunshine/Sympathy for Lady Vengeance). I try to learn from him the most I can. But I don’t expect myself to be as good as him. I also admire the talents from the younger actors as well. In terms of singing, I don’t really have anyone particular in mind because every talent is different in their own way. For me, being able to be everyone’s “bibi” is my greatest wish.

Q: Do you think you have already succeeded?

A: Actually, success is the result of your doings. In terms of fault, I think that I still have many. The result of your efforts is success. If I didn’t put in all my effort but the results were still favorable, to me, I see that as a mistake. I use the amount of effort put in as a measurement for success. If I tried my hardest and succeeded, I have achieved my goal.

Q: Do you eye the newer and younger talents as your competitors?

A: When I first started out, I was also a newbie. The feeling of being a rookie was my own push to do better. But back then, I believed that I was my very own competitor. I had to try my hardest and even until this day I still do. As for the other singers, I think that our styles are just different. Everyone has their own style and to compare this wouldn’t be sensible. For me, being called “bibi” by my fans already gives me great strength.

Q: At times when you are tired and out of strength, but know that you still have obligations to attend to, what do you tell yourself to keep on going?

A: I just tell myself that I want to be the son that my mother is proud of.

Q: Who is the one person that is always in your heart and will never be forgotten?

A: My mother, most definitely.

Q: How did u help coordinate your world tour?

A: Singers must fully prepare and put in all their efforts for their concerts. Right now, I oversee every aspect of the world tour.

Q: This might be a bad question to ask, but between the fame that comes with being Bi the singer and the fame that comes with being Jung Ji Hoon the actor, which do you like more?

A: Hmm… this is quite difficult to answer. But if out of a hundred, I would say 50 percent for the singer Bi, and 50 percent for the actor Jung Ji Hoon. Being a singer is not so complex. But being an actor is also not my life. I play the role according to the character assigned.

Q: If there was a scheduling conflict between your singing and acting activities, which one would you give more importance to?

A: Well normally, I wouldn’t let my singing and acting activities collide. I also hope that this wouldn’t happen in the future either. (laughs) But if it did happen one day, I would have to give importance to both. I would promote my album and my movie all at once.

Q: Being able to walk the red carpet with Park Chan-Wook and the Wachowski brothers must be a dream come true. Can you describe to us your feelings?

A: Being able to work with Park Chan-Wook and the Wachowski brothers is an unbelievable feeling. I also feel that it was truly a great honor for me to work with the three of them. It was a good and fun experience. Being able to receive this honor makes me realize that I have achieved another stepping stone for myself.

Q: Being able to ride your motorcycle is probably one of the best feelings in the world, right?

A: First of all, it is very refreshing, but I cannot be too reckless. When I drive my motorcycle, my head feels lighter. I really like this feeling.

Q: Besides riding your motorcycle, what other activities make you feel alive?

A: Probably snowboarding because of the same reasons as riding my motorcycle.

Q: Are you currently reading any books?

A: Right now I’m reading a book titled ‘Kihai’. No matter how busy I am, I will make time to read this book.

Q: You’ve been a singer for quite some time now; do you ever feel tired of it?

A: I have remixed some of my older songs from my previous albums. Each song is equally important to me. Being able to sing the remixed versions of my older songs in my world tour brings me sentimental feelings. There is no way that I will ever get tired of singing.

Q: Your Korean fans and your international fans all have a high regard for your singing. How do you feel about this?

A: When I first started to promote myself internationally, I did think that it would be great if I could hold concerts in each of the countries I visited. Surely then it was still a big dream. Since then, I have gotten to know many fans from various countries. At this point, I am able to bring enjoyable songs such as ‘I Do’ and ‘With You’ to my fans. It is really a feeling of great joy. Even when I started to release only 3 singles in Japan, the response has been overwhelming. For this, I must really thank them.

Q: I heard that as a child you really wanted to fly on an airplane. When you saw one in the sky, what were your feelings?

A: The very first time I saw an airplane, I just kept thinking ‘Wowww’. It’s really amazing. I think that when I wished to fly on a plane, I got to do so right away. But there was also a time when I felt sick of flying. But I had to be responsible towards my work. Since the plane is not too big for the sky, I should put in my effort towards my duty.

Q: A new album must come with new dance choreography. How did you input your ideas in this area?

A: Music and dance is already a big part of my life. I’m always observant towards my environment. From there on, I’ll just filter it into my dance to see if it will work.

Q: Is there anything that makes you happy these days?

A: I think it might be the days when I can be easy and do things in a slow pace. But I really don’t look back to those kinds of days anymore. But instead, it’s the love from the fans that makes me happy these days.

Q: Lastly, what kind of a person do you wish to become?

A: My happiness is when my family is happy. Everyone’s standard of happiness is different, but I try to do my best. Also, I want to be like my father who is both proud of his children and wife.


*** Very refreshing to read this kind of interviews. I love reading it. :D

Is this RAIN? Can’t recognize him here. Why so thin? He looked very tired. My goodness, his face is too skinny. His fans are definitely everywhere, huh? Wondering why is he in Cambodia? :confused:

[willenette]

RAIN has been invited to attend Mr Lee Myung-bak declaration ceremony on the 25th of this month as the 17th elected President of Korea. But I'm sure he can't attend since he'll be filming a CF outside Korea during this time. Kwon Sang Woo, Ryu Siwon, SS501, & Bae Yong Joon are among the stars also being invited.:)

[willenette]

Found a fan account on Baidu, but I'm not translating it in its entirety. The first part was rather confusing to me--she talked about how her husband accompanied her to the concert, and how they ended up at this restaurant afterwards. Sounded like her husband was a really good sport since he's so-so about her 'obsession' with Rain. Hehe...Anyway, apparently they were at the same restaurant where Rain went to after the concert. He and his crew had entered in from the back entrance of the restaurant and gotten into their own private room. The place where this Korean fan and her hubs sat was next to sliding wall that separated their room from the one Rain was in. She went on to 'dig' for more information from the restaurant attendants. Apparently he had entered the restaurant around 9 pm with 50 other people, including his father.

The Korean fan then proceeded to follow one of the attendants from behind as he/she went in to serve his food. She managed to peek in and saw Rain sitting there quietly while fully enjoying his meal as well as having easy conversations with the people around him. She said he looked very natural. He was there still dressed in the same attire as he wore on stage to perform, with the same body accessories but the addition of a cap with an embroidered letter on it. His face was 'white and small', and it looked like the cap was too big for him, as if he had just snatched it from one of his fellow dancers to wear.

What he ate: sashimi and spareribs. The restaurant originally does not sell spareribs, but it was specially ordered beforehand for Rain. According to one of the sales clerk at the restaurant, the amount of food he ate added up to about a 3-person portion; he had a good appetite. He also had beer and soju. After eating a good amount, he got up and started walking around, chatting with different people and greeting them. One of the staff was having his/her birthday that day, so he joined everyone in singing a birthday song as well.

The last part of her account was sweet. She quoted what her husband

had said to her afterwards: "When can I ever see this world star Rain in such close proximity again? The probability is 0%. Eventually he will be even more famous, even busier. So for now, I feel really good."

Lego, a famous toy brand, is releasing mini figures of the characters in the movie “Speed Racer” in April 2008. Rain, who stars in the said movie, will also have his mini figure after his character.

The “Speed Racer” Lego figures include Speed, who is played by Emile Hirsh, his fiancèe Trixie (Christina Ricci), Racer X (Matthew Fox) and Taejo Togokan (Rain).

Rain’s figure is dressed in a white suit with a red dragon printed on it. His car also has a Korean touch to it because the name “Togokan Motors” was printed in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. This is a significant feature because it is the first time Hangul appeared in a world-renown toy.

The “Taejo Togokan and Racer X” set is composed of 237 plastic blocks and will cost about $19.99.

“Speed Racer” was based from the classic series created by the pioneer of film animation Tatsuo Yoshida and directed by the Wachowski brothers.

Rain – Lee Byeong-heon, how much would they get paid in Hollywood?

On 13th, the singer and actor Rain revealed that he's going to appear as the main role in the Wachowski brothers' next film, "Ninja Assassin" after completing shooting the "Speed Racer". And Lee Byeong-Heon went to US last month to shoot his Hollywood debut film, "G.I. Joe" (produced by the Paramount. co.). Ever since, the Korean Waves stars' have set their first foot in their entrance to the Hollywood.

If so, how would they be treated in the Hollywood? One of the main areas of interest is how much they will be paid in Hollywood. Even though they receive the one of the highest fees in Korea, they are new faces in the Hollywood.

The Hollywood top stars such as Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise receive over 40 billion-won. However, the new faces get around 0.9 billion-won, which varies according to their popularity.

First of all, Rain and Lee Byeong-Heon are paid higher than other new stars in Hollywood, but not so high as they are new in Hollywood.

The President Jo Dong-won of Rain's agency, Jay Tune Entertainment Co., said "The important thing here is Rain's opportunity to set his foot in Hollywood. So we weren't too greedy over the fee, however, there is not much difference in how much he is paid in Korea and in Hollywood".

Commonly, when non-American actors appear in major studio films in the Hollywood, their fees are arraged based on how much the actor is paid in his country and other various profit factors. Thus, in case of Rain and Lee Byeong-Heon, who has a strong target power over Asia will have many other extra contracts other than their films' success in Asia.

The The President Son Seok-woo of Lee Byeong-Heon's agency, BH Entertainment Co., said "There are many optional contracts regarding his success in Asia, in particular, in Japan. Other Hollywood stars also sign various optional contracts".

In addition, for most of Hollywood blockbuster films, the profits from their share of franchise copyrights are often greater than their own performance fee. For example, Bae Yong-joon raised such huge profits from his share of franchise copyrights in "Winter Sonata" in Japan.

Since Rain and Lee Byeong-Heon are both appearing in Hollywood
blockbuster films, their earnings are expected to increase dramatically from their share in franchise copyrights.

Anyeong Biers!!!

Wow grabe ha sa Wachowski brothers pa rin ang next movie nya!!! nagus2han ata nila ang acting nya kaya kinuha uli sya?!!!:) teka sinong Lee Byeong-heon to? yung ex bf ni shk? :confused: namamayagpag ang mga korean artists ha.... iba talaga ang nagagawa ng koreanwave,hehehe

sa totoo lang kung sa acting lang confident ako kay BI sa Hollywood, pero pag sa kanta nakakanerbyos na mga critics:(, kaya dapat talaga BI FIGHTING!!!

[peachlilee]

initially, i refused to believe it myself laluna when i saw his CICI 2k8 pic in a white suit and a yellow undershirt na me parang buri hat pa siya, ang layo ng diperensiya ng itsura nya doon at dito sa pic na yan. well sana wag siyang masyadong maging payat kc mukha siyang addict, sadly.nawala ang kagwapuhan niya. gusto ko tlga mabalik ang itsura nya like sa FH, AL2K and yung sa Rain's world showcase wherein ala david beckham yung hair nya.



willenette sis, thx a lot for posting all the updates

Hello! yeah I saw some his latest pics. He looked drained really. I think he has to lose the long hair, kasi in a love to kill, he's also a bit thin but nabawi naman sa hair cut. Napansin ko when he loses weight, na-eemphasize jaw line nya kaya I know na nangayayat sya talaga. Rain please, have a hair cut.

i think or shall i say, i guess, baka di pa nya pwede pabago yung hairstyle nya in time for the promo of Speed Racer. kc kung pwede naman, why shouldnt he eh masyado nang mahaba. i have just finished watching his IN MY BED mv (for the nth time) and geez, sobrang love na love ko tlga yung song na yun and his ala-david beckham haircut there, yung me blonde streaks. ang ganda ng length at dun sa MV na yun, ang ganda tlga ng katawan nya dun. he is so oozing with sex appeal. sana bumalik yung ganung hair and body.

ang isa din sa pinakahihintay ko ay kung ano na ang mangyayari or kung itutuloy pa ba ni jerry bruckheimer yung standing offer nya ke rain to do a movie kc di ba when he got his Time 100 recognition, nilapitan siya mismo ng very famous hollywood director and mentioned that to him? a lot of people have been saying that he needs to do a lot with the way he speaks english. napuna ko kc sa dami ng pinanood kong koreanovelas, there is sthg abt koreans when they speak english. at times, they sound funny. so i think he needs to polish on that. i remember in the case of zhang ziyi, napuna ng mga kanong directors dun sa Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon na ang ganda nya. she got some offers which she refused that time kc nga di sya english-speaking and so she was mentored and presto! nakita naman natin nakakabilib yung role nya sa MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, a full-length hollywood film na sya ang mismong bida. i was telling cfc nga over txt msgs na hindi nya kinakain yung sinasabi nya. ang linaw at di masakit sa tenga. i hope rain would be able to do just as well kc sayang naman kung konting speaking parts lang bec. of the language barrier. he deserves a big break in hollywood. ang galing naman kc nyang actor and of course, a very good entertainer as well.

[tarong]

Anyeong Biers!!!:)

docirene, oo nga sis aba who knows baka meron ng negotiation na nagaganap b/n him and jerry b. di ba sabi nga sa isang article dagsa ang offer nya during his shooting for speed racer, for sure di lang isa ang tinanggap nya don:) isa pang napansin ko sa mga koreans bukod sa di makapagsalita ng english, di rin makaintindi,nyakkkkk siguro naman si BI malaki na rin ang improvement kc medyo matagal na rin ang stay nya sa U.S. di ba.

uso pala sa korea ang hairstyle w/ ponytail sa lalaki, pero masyado na atang mahaba ang hair nya, he needs a haircut!!!

Was fliming a jumping movement, got hit in the face by something (don't know how to translate the word, perhaps like a chain) hanging off his pants.
After it happened, he just squat there and did not get up.
This was followed by a medical team who came to give treatment to handle the swelling.
After which, Ji-hoon immediately had a smile on his face to show everyone and continued on with his work.

2:20 p.m.
Ji-hoon is alright, according to a friend who was there, the doctor treated him very promptly and thoroughly, did not leave any marks or scars, all is good! Dear friends, you need not worry!

3:25 p.m.
Ji-hoon is changing clothes in a vehicle.
Heard that it's free time.
Don't know why things changed, maybe because things weren't completed in the morning.
More than likely at night….
Everybody can stop worrying! Ji-hoon is now very happy!
He's chatting happily with the director.

08 Feb 28 Rain Secretly in Shanghai; Causing Some Tumult

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/malaydebster/W020080228311891090143.jpg

February 27, 2008, Shanghai, South Korean young "Son of Heaven" Rain has been secretly in Shanghai to film an advertisement for a certain brand of product. Although news has been tight, there has been some fans who have managed to inquire about the hotel where Rain is staying as well as filming location. Early in the morning Rain can be seen prepared to begin work at some location. Because the weather in Shanghai is close to 0 degrees Celsius, Rain, who wore minimal clothing, would immediately be helped by staff by putting on more 'down' clothing on him after finishing each filming scene, and also often putting make-up on him. The 2-day filming of scenes mainly cover some new sights of Shanghai as well as other places. Rain himself seemed to be relaxed, also unexpectedly laid down on the deck chair chatting with friends, calling this as his way to steal some spare time amidst busyness.

Lastly, he said, "I will come back with great news for my dear fans. I will do my very best and please watch me over".

i just read this from a kapuso blogger and i dunno i felt bad http://bandstalker.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/more-smilies/bandstalker/slaphead.gif afterwards. i just beg to disagree. http://bandstalker.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/more-smilies/bandstalker/nono.gif http://bandstalker.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/more-smilies/bandstalker/wall.gif
*********************

Now that reportedly, GMA 7 is doing the remake of Kim Sam Soon, another Korean drama up for a remake under the network is Full House. This too, sources say, is to be top-billed by Regine. I’d personally go for Marian Rivera instead of the 40-year old diva. Her personality is as bubbly as that of Jessie Han’s, first portrayed by Song Hye Kyo. As for the role of the cold-hearted young actor, I’d like to see Billy Crawford fill in Rain’s shoes. After all, Rain is to Asia as Billy Crawford is to Europe and Justin (Timberlake, that is) is to America.

***********

marian and billy? i dont think they can portray the very famous roles equally well. jmho. http://bandstalker.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/more-smilies/bandstalker/thumbsdown.gif it’s best not to do a tagalog remake, jmho http://bandstalker.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/more-smilies/bandstalker/hopeless.gif

naku nagtextan nga kmi ni clarisse kninang hapon. honestly, sige lang gawan nila ng remake yung ibang koreanovela pati mexican telenovela (na mismong sila ay nakakapuna na iniiba at pumapangit ang takbo ng kwento), di ko na concern yun, but please pretty please. wag naman ang FH. ang ganda ng iniwang alaala nito sa bawat pinoy viewers na naging pinoy Biers/bikyofanatics/loyal full housers. the highest rating ever attained by a koreanovela shown in the phils. at tska kahit sino pa ang gawin nilang mga bida nyang tagalog remake will fail and pale in comparison with bikyo. this is the truth. malamang sa hindi, baka maging baduy lang eh so wag na lang di ba? at pls lang wag naman nilang sabihin sa mga forums nila na kamukha ni MR si SHK, utang na loob. ang layo layo naman. shk is considered to be one of asia's prettiest celebrities. tska mahusay na actress si shk at tlagang she looks young cuz she's still young di gaya ng ibang ikinukumpara sa kanya. and they had the nerve to say that BC is bi's local counterpart. mejo pwede pero i doubt it kung kaya nya ang acting range ni bi. as a singer and dancer, sige pwede na din but not totally. xenxia na, ewan ko bakit sobra akong affected. FH still tops my list kahit almost 100 koreanovelas na ang napanood ko. that's the honest truth.
