Rain on Colbert Show!

rain-in-colbert.jpg

POPSEOUL readers, check out Colbert’s piece on pop sensation Rain. It’s hilarious and I love Colbert’s remake of Rain’s “how to avoid the sun” (태양을 피하는 방법). You’ll definitely get a kick out of it after you watch the clip at comedycentral and there’s no doubt that this is going to boost Rain’s awareness in the states big time. Rain’s US debut looks favorable by the day and I guess multiple votes by Rain’s die-hard fans paid off. And big thanks to David for the tip!

    Colbert is funny beyond words, That was hilarious. Maybe Rain should come on the Colbert show, that will do wonders for his popularity here in the States.

    ohhh my gosh! i cant stop laughing! thanks. this is awesome for rain! no doubt he’ll make it.

    That was awesome! “I’m gonna be all over you like an egg on a bibimbab” hahaha that seriously cracked me up. And I have to say it’s impressive that him and bi are at the top of the list, I really hope this will help with bi’s exposure in the US. At this point in time…I think he’s the one Korea artist who has a chance at making it in the US.

    Eve, I doubt that Rain will make it to US. It’s nothing to be impressed that Rain is no.1 on the Time’s. we all know how he got there.

    by the way, i think Rain’s fans have too much time on their hands. I just saw two petitions on petitiononline.com regarding Rain. One is a request for Rain to rest and another to request him to have a conncert in Germany. Don’t his fans have their own lives besides going to his concerts and voting for him online?

    I think Rain will get his reputation in US. If you’re being made fun of by the media, you’re somebody. Look at Paris.

    i LOVED this show. i couldnt stop laughing, it was absolutely hilarious and bi is def. doing to be alot more known now

    I died laughing when I watched that this morning it’s hilarious. Hopefully this make him start really practicing his English. Tons of people watch Colbert’s show so he need to be up on his game.

    As for gurl maybe you should stop worrying about Rain’s fans. What are they possibly doing to you? So what people want to support there artist. I’m sure you want to support yours so chill.

  11. 11 gurl May 11, 2007 at 5:26 pm

    sorry, I don’t support any artist/entertainer. They’re nobody to me. Even if I ever did support anybody, it would be an intellectual/artistically person (and definitely not Rain) who had contributed to the world/community. It’ll never be some second-hand artists. hallelujah… Just reading the news/gossips from the show biz industry for fun and in my spare time online. Also, sorry too that I’m not worrying about the Rain’s fans. I just find them ridiculously funny with their over-zealous love for Rain.

  12. 12 tok2006 May 11, 2007 at 5:29 pm

    So funny! I haven´t understood all Steve Colbert said but i think he shows a lot of respect to Rain in his jokes. It seems he has a great work in the video´s parody, he dances quite similar!!!!
    And in the other hand, do you know something about Rain being in Spain, in Valencia, for the Luois Vuitton cup?
    i cant find anything´about that! thanks!

  13. 13 tok2006 May 11, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    I forgot to say that i voted for him! once only! yes i pass a lot of time in front a computer!

  14. 14 lennie May 11, 2007 at 5:32 pm

    HAHAHHAA, stephen colbert is hilarious. HAHAHA and i loved the ending line: “RAIN… i’m gonna be all over you like egg on a bowl of bibimbap.” HAHAHHA.

  15. 15 linda May 11, 2007 at 7:07 pm

    hey “gurl”, bitter much?

    “I don’t support any artist/entertainer. They’re nobody to me.”

    then why the heck are you reading and commenting?

  16. 16 javabeans May 11, 2007 at 7:09 pm

    funny stuff, since I adore stephen colbert. (and i voted for him (colbert) in that time poll.)

    this’ll definitely raise Rain’s exposure in the states, but god no i hope he doesn’t make it on the Colbert Report in person. rain’s english is by far his greatest handicap and it’s nowhere near good enough to come out of a colbert experience without looking foolish. colbert and the people who watch that show are sharp and merciless.

  17. 17 gurl May 11, 2007 at 7:38 pm

    freedom of speech..that’s why.

  18. 18 anon May 11, 2007 at 9:59 pm

    yay for rain, although i kind of agree with gurl, we all know how he got there, his fans voted others down =(

  19. 19 kiwee May 11, 2007 at 11:36 pm

    omg that was freaking hilarious!!!!!

  20. 20 shinjinny May 12, 2007 at 12:34 am

    Stephen Colbert totally gave Rain a run for his money. So funny and spot on! :-P

  21. 21 rain'sworld May 12, 2007 at 12:36 am

    i’ve watch d video earlier,its so funny, steven colbert is kinda mad at rain becoz steven didn’t make it to d top…hahahaha..sooo funny..

  22. 22 cstix May 12, 2007 at 3:23 am

    gurl, you should stop now.

  23. 23 anon May 12, 2007 at 9:01 am

    hey gurl, just curoius do you hate rain, or just some of his obsessive fans???

  24. 24 gurl May 12, 2007 at 8:54 pm

    anon,
    Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate anybody. I would use the word “dislike”. It’s hard to distinguish now b/c both Rain and his fans are annoying.

    cstix,
    I’m so sorry this is not Rain’s world :( . I don’t have to like your idol or stop from doing what I want to do/say.

    Sorry to point out again, I don’t know why should Colbert be mad at Rain or why Colbert is a hater (from the other post about Rain too). We obviously see a difference from Rain’s fans’ comments and ordinary people’s comments. One’s is totally nonsense (we all know whose).

  25. 25 cstix May 13, 2007 at 4:16 am

    I don’t even LIKE Rain. I’m just pointing out that you’re making yourself look like an idiot.

  26. 26 Licky C May 13, 2007 at 6:32 am

    Can I just add a ‘Rain is coming down’ joke here?

    I kind of agree that the Colbert Report is a big coup for Rain, intended or no. A lot of people would see that and at least have their interest piqued by it…

  27. 27 gurl May 14, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    I could care less what you think of me. If you don’t like what I write, don’t read. And no, you’re not pointing out anything b/c you don’t have anything to back it up.

  28. 28 fritz May 14, 2007 at 2:18 pm

    The Colbert piece on rain is so hilarious. It’s just his way of admitting that Rain is more famous than him. And I think that given Rain’s talent, he can make it in the US market, given some time for him to master the language that is.

    Regarding Korea’s comment on Colbert’s show, it just show how different culture clashes. Good or bad publicity, they are still publicity and it will definitely benefit Rain in the end.

    Hope that the movie will push through, i love to see Rain act again.

    Chill out girls.. just have fun…

  32. 32 Hayate June 29, 2007 at 8:58 pm

  33. 33 blackr0se April 14, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    gurl,

    “Freedom of speech”? You have exercised your freedom because of something which bothered you. No way it can’t be like that.

    But of course, you have your precious ~*~real life~*~ and we don’t want to bother you at all. :) I’m not a Rain fan but I like reading stuff on the internet. I spend some hours surfing and the like.
