Meet the female Rain – Son Dam Bi

0614-son-dam-bi2.jpg
Son Dam Bi has been the It Girl among Korean netizens for several months after somebody “accidentally” uploaded her dance video online. Then, after her Samsung CF aired on TV a couple of weeks ago, she officially become the “the female Rain.” There’s no doubt that this girl can dance, but I don’t think she reflects Rain in any shape or form. In fact, I think she should be called the “next Ivy” but I’ll let that pass for now, since she’ll be working hard to get rid of “female or next whatever” to establish her own name. Anyhow, welcome to K-pop world Dam-Bi!

*Son Dam Bi’s single is titled “Cry Eye”

    She is good no doubt, but I´ve seen better!!!

  3. 3 Shai June 14, 2007 at 3:56 am

    I like her already.

  4. 4 jane =] June 14, 2007 at 4:01 am

    of course she doesnt resemble bi, her eyes are way too big..hope she can make it through the entertainment business, itll be tough.

  5. 5 Lastdrop June 14, 2007 at 4:22 am

    yeah she doesn’t but we’ll see how she does…for now…

  6. 6 Narae June 14, 2007 at 5:17 am

    hum…she dances ok. Will she be a real talented singer or a Lee Hyori copycat?…well let’s see.

  7. 7 Ella June 14, 2007 at 5:31 am

    I think it’s way too soon to be labeling her as the “female Rain.”
    A lot of people can be trained to dance well.
    Rain is more than just dancing & singing – he’s got the “IT” factor. And he’s charasmatic.

  8. 8 Cassie. June 14, 2007 at 5:40 am

    She can dance.

    I don’t think they’re labeling her “the female Rain” looks-wise, maybe more dance wise.

    I don’t know; they should wait a bit before labeling her anything. I do hope she makes it big though! :)

  9. 9 sweetrain June 14, 2007 at 6:07 am

    She certainly has talent…
    I wish i had her body!

  10. 10 aly June 14, 2007 at 7:34 am

    ok well i think shes amazing but i really think the guy with her should get a lot of credit too because he’s just as good as she is

  11. 11 cjlatina June 14, 2007 at 8:26 am

    WOW she is really good. i’m glad to see a female dancer actually dancing, instead of, sexy moves with a lot of S shape poses.

  12. 12 Toya T June 14, 2007 at 8:27 am

    She is actually quite elementary in her style compared to Rain, but she is okay I guess.

  13. 13 parkerlewis June 14, 2007 at 8:29 am

    I just heard her title song Cry Eye and she has lovely vocals.

    Now I want to know if she can sing LIVE while she dances.

    We shall see.

  14. 14 liquidhope June 14, 2007 at 9:14 am

    umm i realli dont see her as the female version of rain. i think shes rather more like kill gun where their dancing are the main focus, as both women r excellent dancers.

  15. 15 Lily June 14, 2007 at 10:24 am

    she can definitely dance, but many entertainers (singers) can dance….nothing really special (i think).

  16. 16 Eve June 14, 2007 at 10:25 am

    she resembles Ivy more..I wouldn’t name her female Rain …just yet she hasn’t even shown her singing/acting chops. we’ll see.

  17. 17 parkerlewis June 14, 2007 at 10:39 am

    From what I have seen, she’s a better dancer than 99.9 % of the female talents out there.

  18. 18 aiturnizzle June 14, 2007 at 10:43 am

    ahahaha what? i reckon people labelled her the next Bi cause she’s sporting the midriff baring tops that he used XD

  19. 19 sari June 14, 2007 at 11:10 am

    she’s in MAYBEE MV…..
    WOAH…..SHES HOT…..
    I LIKE IT…HERE I UPLOAD HER VIDEO….JUST DOWNLOAD IT…..http://211.233.73.214/daumblog/1001/39/4321039.flv

  20. 20 alyssa June 14, 2007 at 11:14 am

    she’s good……very good dancer..she can duet in the dance floor with rain….!!!!!

  21. 21 Licky C June 14, 2007 at 11:26 am

    Nice dancing! Love that she can actually dance and not just shake her booty :D

  22. 22 mino87 June 14, 2007 at 11:51 am

    ~~yeah…fighting ya~~

  23. 23 han June 14, 2007 at 1:05 pm

    next ivy? ivy can’t even dance! unless you call what she did for tempting sonata a dance..

    anyways this girl can dance

  24. 24 han June 14, 2007 at 1:07 pm

    and i love her long legs (muhssisuhyo!!!!)
    too bad her voice is kind of average and her songs aren’t that great =/
    looking forward to her mv though….the teaser clip was pretty hot

  25. 25 tai June 14, 2007 at 1:28 pm

    i like the fact that she has strong dance movies and dances without looking slutty – a considerable feat considering so many female Kpop singers out there… *cough* *cough* chae yeon (sorry fans :P )

  26. 26 fster June 14, 2007 at 1:32 pm

    She dances well but Jeon Ji Hyun is still the best dancer bar none. She’ll do well, good luck to her.

  27. 27 kismetology June 14, 2007 at 2:31 pm

    She can dance all right.

  28. 28 Mics June 14, 2007 at 4:07 pm

    She is really good! She’s got good control with her moves that she makes dancing look effortless =) I like her already! I’m gonna keep an eye on her ^_~*

  29. 29 Christie June 14, 2007 at 5:27 pm

    Koreans really like JT, don’t they? (no offense to anyone)
    Her dancing is okay but it’s not like: O_O omfg d@mn!

  30. 30 sabu sabu June 14, 2007 at 5:44 pm

    she’s different from rain. rain is way better than her!

  31. 31 monalisa June 14, 2007 at 10:52 pm

    She looks like she’s of mixed parentage and very young. How old is she?

  32. 32 jb June 15, 2007 at 12:34 am

    You know, I don’t mean to zoom on details but in the youtube video, she look like she has a dancer’s body with small chest but in the main pic in her blue tanktop, why does she look like a C or D-cup? Don’t tell me she plunge into plastic surgery aldy…

  33. 33 Gna4 June 15, 2007 at 12:37 am

    lol, isnt it always “accidentally”

  34. 34 Joo June 15, 2007 at 1:11 am

    I also have a feeling that it was ‘leaked’ on the internet with intention.. can’t believe that it’s accidental.

  35. 35 Lisa Lisa June 15, 2007 at 2:45 am

    Hmmm… she already has the name “Bi” in her name.
    So there’s Rain/Bi and now there’s Dam Bi…

    I guess Hyori needs to watch out, ’cause this girl looks like she has more than just “look at me, I’m sexy.”

    She has MORE to offer.

  36. 36 parkerlewis June 15, 2007 at 12:14 pm

    she was the main actress in MayBee’s Daso MV. And her MV was released in the summer of 2006.

    So she’s an actress/model turned singer. But unlike everyone, Dambi actually has skills.

  37. 37 Jane June 15, 2007 at 3:09 pm

    i love the way she dances. i just hope she sings just as well.

  38. 38 Terass June 15, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    her dancin is good^^
    i wish i coud dance like that.

  39. 39 s.jane June 17, 2007 at 2:44 pm

    she looks like jessica alba in the first picture.

  40. 40 SABRINA July 1, 2007 at 11:49 pm

    I heard her songs i think she’s A-W-E-S-O-M-E ^_^

  41. 42 h e l l o August 18, 2007 at 5:05 am

    i love herr first single.
    &she’s an amazing dancer for sure!

  42. 43 May September 20, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    FINALLY! Finally we have some female doing hip-hop. yay!

  43. 44 fraulein September 29, 2007 at 5:29 pm

    ppl like to use a more established name to help people relate the newbie. Rain himself was/is still called the asian justin timberlake

  44. 45 fraulein September 29, 2007 at 5:34 pm

    she has a good solid body from years of endurance training. Heard she does krumping – the other 2 ladies i admire who krump are madonna n ciara.
    Love how she does not feel the need to conform and slip into slinky skimpy dresses and prance/slither on stage.

    Hope she stays that way, tracksuit n all! and and the showing of a bit of cleavage like what she does aint bad either.. ; )

  45. 46 RavenCloud September 29, 2007 at 11:26 pm

    I needed a long time but now there is finaly a female star in korea which really CAN DANCE.She is great.

    I like her a lot

  46. 47 Rayne October 9, 2007 at 7:02 am

    what! she’s sooo good at dancing! i think that kinda raw talent is defintely better…

    i totally agree- she’s defnitely not like Rain(bi)- she DOES look like Ivy-isherz, but they’re on different platforms.

    omg fraulein yeah say it! she’s sooo natural! i mean, Hyori’s good and stuff too… but like this girl’s so pretty in like jumpsuits!

  47. 48 Orchid899 January 10, 2008 at 5:34 am

    They say imitation is the best form of flattery, but I don’t think so. People work hard to create and perfect their own, so get your sh*t together and be original. She’s doing the hand chest popping thing which Rain made famous. I don’t dig that. Plus all that hopping around and arm movements just make her look like a cheerleader. I don’t see anything special about her just yet, but she can get better…maybe.

  48. 49 Dovey January 10, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    She sings? I wonder how she sounds like…

  49. 50 AwesomeAshley. May 3, 2008 at 9:16 am

    I love her (:
    And of course, no one could resemble Bi cuhs he’s special <3
