Rain has a wedgie

0919 rain

Is it just me or does it seem like Rain is giving himself a wedgie? Despite this awkward hand position, the dancing machine actually looks decent in his latest CK Jean endorsement. I say he stop trying to use his brain and start using his hot bod to make a living, because after all, he’s the Pinky - not the Brain.

    People should check out Yoon Eun-hye Levi’s ad…with her legs that are FTW.

  2. 2 Kitsune September 18, 2007 at 4:17 am

    Whatever you said…

    Rain looks so hot in that pics!
    CK had a good idea to chosen him ^^

  3. 3 Kitsune September 18, 2007 at 4:18 am

    Right on! Rain is seriously someone that should just shut up and look pretty. Well, in his case, not exactly pretty, but HOT.
    BTW, this seems to be advertising Rain rather than the underwear. I think the jeans need to be off for the ad to be effective…:)

  7. 7 geekgirl September 18, 2007 at 5:26 am

    The ink looks gross.

  8. 8 jnyarcalas September 18, 2007 at 5:53 am

    OMG Rain’s hair got longer. I didn’t know that.

  9. 9 Booyah! September 18, 2007 at 5:59 am

    holy smokes…rain’s hair got longer…that’s just hot!! XD

  10. 10 tok2006 September 18, 2007 at 6:05 am

    nice jeans and nice t-shirt!!

    wedgie? i hate my poor english!!!

  11. 11 Psycho September 18, 2007 at 6:22 am

    Popseoul ,you better stop barking ….

    Your post only shows us that you use your brain less than your dog-mouth.

  12. 12 kky2k September 18, 2007 at 6:27 am

    Great ad, can’t wait to see more.

  13. 13 Kitsune September 18, 2007 at 6:33 am

    Psycho you are right
    Popseoul has a serious problem…
    but I think is a technique to more post from people
    against Rain

  14. 14 tangy September 18, 2007 at 6:38 am

    omg that second pic is fine!

  15. 15 spike September 18, 2007 at 6:49 am

    psycho, wtf are you even talking about? at least make sense before you diss…and don’t forget, this isn’t china. You want to censor opinions, go create your own blog.

  16. 16 Aya September 18, 2007 at 7:00 am

    Sorry but I think the shot of him in the jacket makes his bod look gross. Maybe because it looks so pale and I dont like white guys. He’s still pretty in the face. Hi Rain!

  17. 17 Kay September 18, 2007 at 7:00 am

    Geeeeeez… when am I gonna get to marry him already?! [Never].
    Only in my dreams!

    The only thing I want about those pants is it to be off!
    [I know, I'm naughty]
    =X

  18. 18 BigJim September 18, 2007 at 7:06 am

    Let me in those jeans too!!
    He’s so sexy, I don’t need to marry him.
    I just want to please him.

    When Rain wants to take a side step, he knows where he can reach me. Even those he as a tight butt, he can take it all in.

    Call me Rain,

    your buddy,

    BJ - Big Jim

  19. 19 Aya September 18, 2007 at 7:07 am

    hahahhahahahhaha @ big jim

  20. 20 Marissa September 18, 2007 at 7:13 am

    Yay! Let’s talk about RAIN some more! Thanks Popseoul, love your site. LOVE LOVE Rain!

    Umm, is that a REAL tattoo? (2nd pic)
    I agree with geekgirl. Yuck!

  21. 21 shinjinny September 18, 2007 at 7:27 am

    Who gets a tattoo there? Unless you’re a chick.

  22. 22 tiffany September 18, 2007 at 7:32 am

    dang….he looks hot!!!!! i like his long hair :P

  23. 23 geekgirl September 18, 2007 at 8:11 am

    That isn’t real ink. It’s Fake. But yeah … what GUY would get ink in that area?

    BigJim is starting to make a lot of sense. bwahaha

  24. 24 xxcraz_onexx September 18, 2007 at 8:18 am

    ppl are complaining about you criticizing heechul/super junior?!
    WHATEVER. they get nothing compared to rain
    even when he’s looking absolutely sexy
    popseoul has to go and say something retardedly negative

    whatever.
    i come here for the other stuff b/c i know anything that has to do with rain will have some sort of negative connotation.

  25. 25 fake tattoo??????? September 18, 2007 at 8:24 am

    ????????

  26. 26 Dumpling September 18, 2007 at 8:25 am

    Damn, Drizzle is lookin’ foxy as HELL. But if that’s a real tattoo crawling up out of his crotch in the second photo, then he’s still the same jackass I always took him for.

  27. 27 Dumpling September 18, 2007 at 8:27 am

    “He’s so sexy, I don’t need to marry him.
    I just want to please him.”

    Woot! Best line EVER!

  28. 28 Dumpling September 18, 2007 at 8:30 am

    “Who gets a tattoo there?”

    EXACTLY! Glad to see I’m not the only one taking issue with the goofy wannabe tattoo. Ugh, he bothers me. He just does whatever he thinks other people perceive as cool. He’s so freakin’ shallow and lacking in imagination and such a sad poseur.

    But he still looks foxy as hell in these photos! Hi Drizzle!

  29. 29 Big Jim September 18, 2007 at 8:31 am

    It’s not a tatoo, it’s directions for something that is difficult to find little Bi Bi, or the little Rain Drop.

    That’s why Rain loves Big Jim. Rain’s a lover not a fight; and a taker not a giver.

  30. 30 geekgirl September 18, 2007 at 8:45 am

    Sorta like a catcher, and not a pitcher.

  31. 31 toocutedoggy September 18, 2007 at 9:02 am

    is that a tattoo in his umm….lower front part?..lolz

    wow..his hair …very long now

  32. 32 ericshin September 18, 2007 at 9:04 am

    i wonder how much those jeans are going for?

  33. 33 Aya September 18, 2007 at 9:09 am

    Ahahahahahha @ bigjim again
    True dat.

  34. 34 buttarain September 18, 2007 at 9:14 am

    DAMN, thats fine, popseoul need to stop hatin on Rain , I’m starting to hate to read anything about him on this site it’s always negative, it;s kinda getting tiresome. It’s as soon as I see Rain in the headline it’s like, “oh boy I wonder what their saying about him this time”, get over it.

  35. 35 Zarni September 18, 2007 at 9:16 am

    Rain is not Jo In Sung.
    Rain copy Jo In Sung Hair Style and post.
    do you agree.it so ugly.

  36. 36 buttarain September 18, 2007 at 9:18 am

    I totally agree with xxcraz, people are just jealous.

  37. 37 buttarain September 18, 2007 at 9:19 am

    Of course thats not a real tattoo, damn you people believe everything you see and hear.

  38. 38 Kelly September 18, 2007 at 9:24 am

    He looks good here. Ahh, and I love it when guys put their hair up.

  39. 39 geekgirl September 18, 2007 at 9:25 am

    Agree with Zarni. Rain is definitely NOT Jo In-Sung!

  40. 40 illdielaughing September 18, 2007 at 9:33 am

    rain is hot… lets be honest here lol
    but sometimes he does look a little wierd
    but… this is not one of those moments

  41. 41 Jane. September 18, 2007 at 10:09 am

    Who cares if he’s giving himself a wedgie- he looks hot doing it!

  42. 42 Dumpling September 18, 2007 at 10:37 am

    I can definitely see Drizzle as a catcher, not a pitcher. I believe he’ll catch whatever is tossed his way!

  43. 43 Big Jim September 18, 2007 at 10:38 am

    @ buttarain

    Are you another gay man that loves Rain?

    I get that inferrence from your name.

    BUTT A RAIN.

    AYA gay men that love RAIN.

  44. 44 ugg September 18, 2007 at 10:44 am

    buttarian is a dumbass

    theres a such thing as freedom of speech, ifyou dont like what popseoul has tosay, then dont come here

  45. 45 May September 18, 2007 at 10:44 am

    “I think the jeans need to be off for the ad to be effective…:)”
    I second that!

    GODdamn, his shoulder blades are soo hot.

  46. 46 Tamira September 18, 2007 at 10:50 am

    Is it me or does RAIN look like he has a poochie stomach. What happened to the six-pack?

    Looks like he’s been enjoying his vacation snackin’.

    He has a semi muffin belly growning with a deep-azz belly button - not too attractive.

    I think the tatoo is there to distract you from his belly.

    Like his hair, looks better when it is long when he’s more fem.

  47. 47 May September 18, 2007 at 10:52 am

    “anything that has to do with rain will have some sort of negative connotation”

    I know, sweetie, but it gets Rain/Popseoul more attention. If you look back at her previous posts about Rain, all the positive ones don’t get many replies :( It’s a marketing technique, get my drift? It’s good for both parties :)

  48. 48 Puu September 18, 2007 at 11:00 am

    of course that’s not a real tattoo lol

    yum. he’s hot.

  49. 49 alexthegirl September 18, 2007 at 11:06 am

    ok, so everyone is saying that its a fake tattoo but who the heck puts a fake tattoo above “little Rain”? That’s just sort of weird…you can’t deny the man’s got a bod though.

  50. 50 Rain's Back and Still Sexy! September 18, 2007 at 12:59 pm

    just wonder how far that tatoo’s going… lol

    look at his shoulder blades.. butt.. abs… and cute belly button…. damn.. he got body!!!!! i want him!!!

  51. 51 XiaoXi September 18, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    Oh y’all are missing the finest rearview I’ve seen in a long, long time–not sure why Popseoul didn’t post the best picture of this CK shoot so far…Check out the other CK picture at

    http://k-popped.com/2007/09/rain-calvin-klein-jeans-ad.html

    There is some serious junk in that Korean’s trunk! Yum-mee!

  52. 52 Starz September 18, 2007 at 1:21 pm

    he’s definately hot with his long hair…grrrr…

  53. 53 May September 18, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    Thank you, Xiaoxi
    for those rearview pictures. haha. I’m trying to enjoy him in every view I can.

  54. 54 Dovey September 18, 2007 at 3:03 pm

    Just shutting his mouth and looking pretty isn’t what I think he should be doing…For one, he has a brain and should be obligated to use it (with some GOOD guidance). I don’t really want to think of him as some doll only poised for display with no brainpower behind anything. No one stated this as such, but this is my interpretation of it.

  55. 55 Rain's Back and Still Sexy! September 18, 2007 at 3:16 pm

    Thanks, Xiaoxi!

    Love the third pic!!
    look his expression.. it’s like.. hey, babies.. come and get me, if you can!!… such a teaser!… lol

  56. 56 Taif September 18, 2007 at 4:13 pm

    What ever every body says, this oppa is hot…

  57. 57 XiaoXi September 18, 2007 at 4:50 pm

    I love that 3rd picture, too. It looks a lot less like the gay soft-porn of the other ones and more just pure hotness.

    Mercy.

  58. 58 blahblah September 18, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    ooh, look at that shoulder…yumm, I woulnd’t mind holding on those tight……………..weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  59. 59 Rain's Back and Still Sexy! September 18, 2007 at 6:29 pm

  60. 60 varms September 18, 2007 at 7:45 pm

    Makes me want to give him a back hug, Korean drama style. :)

  61. 61 Mary3lucky September 18, 2007 at 11:08 pm

    yeah!he looks hot and yummy…

    Some ppl,just envious in Rains hotty body and wedgie..Hehehehe..
    Go Rain! show us more wedgies….to satisfy those eyes are not proud of you ..
    Mama Mia,love those fake tattooes…

  62. 62 Meru September 19, 2007 at 1:16 am

    I just like reading the comments more than the actual post. Only Rain topics would this get such crazy fangirls, fan gays reactions.
    And of course all the picking on Rain and then lusting for him at the same time. It’s great. XD

  63. 63 buttarain September 19, 2007 at 2:38 am

    Big Jim, your gay-dar is broke, I’m a woman. Ugg, you cant even spell, ummmm….. you have no say-so.

  64. 64 buttarain September 19, 2007 at 2:39 am

    I have to agree it is funny to read peoples comments from both sides it is entertainment.

  65. 65 happybi September 19, 2007 at 5:37 am

    hubba hubba!!!! Gorgeous!

  66. 66 Em September 19, 2007 at 5:42 am

    Popseoul, that’s not a wedgie

  67. 67 Se7en Brasil September 19, 2007 at 6:33 am

    what’s the problem?? can’t he scretch his ass anymore?

    hahahahah
    he is very sexy in these pics wow

  68. 68 reina September 19, 2007 at 6:53 am

  69. 69 reina September 19, 2007 at 7:14 am

    Xiaoxi!
    thanx 4 the link
    OMG i think im gonna faint he so hot XD

  70. 70 I know where Rain has been September 19, 2007 at 9:45 am

    He has been doing commercials for Korea tourism that are airing here in North America.Something like” spicey,sparkling just like me.” “The place to be” I think he may actually be learning english or is really good at memorizing.

  71. 71 Kitsune September 19, 2007 at 10:43 am

    Yeah that´s Korea Sparkling! but is from July
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=0aY971uEOUI

    cool that is airing on US ^^


    I really want to know What more about Rain is in US?
    o.o

    I´m wainting for MTV documental on september

  72. 72 ashchronicles89 September 19, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    haha..so true..i think only rain’s topic get these much attentions..fans or no-fans..just admit it, u guys are all interested in knowing his next step.

  73. 73 song September 19, 2007 at 1:13 pm

    i like the new hair. it’s similar to jo in sung’s hair in levi’s ads. rain’s body is nice, but always hands down to kwon sang woo.

  74. 74 ashley September 19, 2007 at 1:38 pm

    finally! something good!

    o come on! i think that a little bit too cruel! =p rain? pinky!? . BTW, its on tv right now ==”

  75. 75 Tara September 19, 2007 at 1:47 pm

    Lookin’ FINE Rain!

    I am definitely interested in any step Rain makes when it comes to singing, dancing, acting, and especially his move in America. Whether he’ll fail or not, I will be waiting/anticipating/watching/listening! This goes for Se7en too. I find it exciting for an Asian trying to make it in the U.S.’s Entertainment Industry.
    When Speed Racer comes out next year. Even if it may not be an “awesome” or big, successful movie and even if he may only have as little as 15 seconds in the damn movie (I don’t know how long he’ll actually have) — I’m watching it!!!

  76. 76 yeah-im-a-rain-fans September 19, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    SMEXXXYYYY!!!! and i like his hair… fabolous!!! hahaha…. rawwwrrr…!!

    @ Tara
    BI will show up about 40 minutes in Speed Racer, well.. after editin’ process it may about 30 minutes??
    dont know what im expecting from speed racer but i hope it help his career
    check this : http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l51/strainbi/sr1.jpg
    BI with other stars on SR booklet

    and with his singing career, it said the producing will start on october.

  77. 77 daneil September 19, 2007 at 4:14 pm

    he still doesn’t appeal to me

  78. 78 Tamira September 19, 2007 at 5:06 pm

    @ yeah-im-a-rain-fans

    How you do you Bi appears in the film for 40 minutes.
    FILMING HAS NOT EVEN BEEN COMPLETED YET, NOR HAVE THEY HAD A FINAL EDIT OF THE FILM YET.

    NO BODY KNOWS HOW MUCH FILM TIME RAIN HAVE IN THE MOVIE, UNTIL THERE IS A FINAL EDIT.

    How can you make stupid assumptions & go off telling people what you think is true.

  79. 79 XiaoXi September 19, 2007 at 7:27 pm

    Actually, that “40 minutes” number came from the Wachowski brothers…They said after they met with Rain, they decided to expand his role to “about 40 minutes.”

    Of course, that could easily change once the film goes to editing, but no one is making up that number. We’ll see if the directors like what Rain put on film…

  80. 80 May September 19, 2007 at 10:15 pm

    He’s bringing Sexy back….yeah!
    I’m desperate to see a CK cf now.

    “40 minutes” <—because the Wachowski brother said so. True, there could be some editing and cutting.

  81. 81 WHN September 19, 2007 at 10:36 pm

    “Actually, that “40 minutes” number came from the Wachowski brothers…They said after they met with Rain, they decided to expand his role to “about 40 minutes.”

    Since the Wachowskis are famous for not speaking to the press, I’d like to see the source for this dubious quote which seems more like wishful thinking to me. Besides, Rain’s scenes may be drastically cut when the lawsuits against him go to trial as well.

  82. 82 uhhhhhoooo September 19, 2007 at 10:43 pm

    Rain is so HOT! in these pix & love his new tat.

  83. 83 Naqiyyah September 19, 2007 at 11:07 pm

    One word, HOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daymn he’s fyne!!!

  84. 84 man September 20, 2007 at 1:13 am

  85. 85 man man September 20, 2007 at 1:16 am

    Rain is so geart!!!
    I like it,T-Shirt & Nice Jeans!!!
    I want to!!!!!!!!I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
    RAIN,Very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

  86. 86 djKim September 20, 2007 at 3:48 am

    I doubt the Wachowski Brothers told Rain he would be in the film for 40 minutes in a film.

    The Wachowski Brothers are professional and know that no one can guarantee a certain amount of minutes to any actor in a film. That’s ridiculous.

    It’s just some promo/marketing by RAIN and his people. Show me a quote from the Wachowski Brothers themselves, then I’ll believe it.

    Rain is only a side character that competes against Speed. I think you all forget there are a lot more main original characters in the Film as associated in the animated series than Rain.

  87. 87 lmsandra September 20, 2007 at 4:14 am

    Yummy Yummy!! by the way guys, When you shoot a comercial you wear whatever they want and they wanted a tattoo. Rain is so fine his body is a wonderland.

  88. 88 lmsandra September 20, 2007 at 4:24 am

    I don’t want him to shut his mouth because I love all his music. I love his pictures, his music and his acting he is all around “so fine” :) He is smoking hot and his body looks just so good. Rain looks hot in everything just this little view is making me want him more.
    Thanks Popseoul for the pics

  89. 89 mookie September 20, 2007 at 4:28 am

    is that a babybump?

  90. 90 tony September 20, 2007 at 5:39 am

    rain is so cool in the CK ad. he’s one of best and respectful artist . i’m female not gay but i still love him
    so much .

  91. 91 Tara September 20, 2007 at 6:22 am

    I know I don’t believe that he will actually have a FULL 40 minutes of onscreen time in the actual movie! I mean, that’s highly unlikely. But if it’s true, then that’s great for him. Hopefully he did some decent acting.

    As I mentioned, I don’t care if he’s in the film for as little as 15 seconds—I will definitely go and watch it!!!

  92. 92 Kitsune September 20, 2007 at 11:01 am

    He filmed about 50 minutes
    but the editor will make him appear
    like 15 min I think so x_X
    because Rain is the movie is just a rookie racer
    not an original character…

  93. 93 Kitsune September 20, 2007 at 11:02 am

    sorry for my english again xD
    “Rain in the movie is just a rookie racer…”

  94. 94 May September 20, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    haha. Fine fine. Even if he appears in there for 2 seconds, I would go on opening day to see Speed Racer anyways. Gahhhh! My love for Rain is undeniable. ^_^
    I am “May” after all, a Cloud.

  95. 95 ugg September 21, 2007 at 8:23 am

    i doubt he’ll be in the movie for forty mi9nutes

    i agree wth djkim, show me the quote from the directors

    i bet this is just another attemp by a dumbass rain fan to make more poeple think rain is amaing

  96. 96 yeah-im-a-rain-fans September 21, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    haha… guys..^^ all the doubtfull.. i know there will be editing process.. Biers not that stupid and brainless.. eventho only for some minutes, still im gonna watch him and ready to scream at theatre *fangirl mode on*
    and i know what SR’s purpose to put him there, to get asian market attention, and its not just him on the movie there are some other asian artists too.

  97. 97 XiaoXi September 21, 2007 at 2:23 pm

    I did find the “40 minute” quote in a news article of the press conference held in Berlin back in June, but true enough, they were quoting a Rain spokesman “quoting” Joel Silver. And I just don’t care enough to dig any further…Rain’s acting could be so bad that it all ends up on the cutting room floor, or so inconsequential that most of that “40 minutes” is Rain standing in the background (or driving in the background). Or it could be just as his spokesman said: the W Bro’s liked what they saw and decided to expand his part of the story.

    I guess we’ll find out in May. In the mean time, there are new CK pictures out that will melt your monitor–go find them, you won’t be sorry! Oh my, my, my…

  98. 98 4evayoungbb September 21, 2007 at 10:55 pm

    where can we find the new CK pics? :)

  99. 99 amused September 22, 2007 at 12:45 am

    I’m probably going to watch Speed Racer with a big group of fans. I’ll sit at the back of the theatre so that I can bolt if angry eyes turn towards me - if I happen to laugh. I most probably would - since I laugh at him practically every day. I can’t imagine what he would look like. I saw some off-the-set pics of him and the actor who plays his sister. His hair looks like a mushroom!

  100. 100 May September 22, 2007 at 11:03 am

    Rain’s new CK pics are on Rain-USA. They are hot hot hot and plentiful!

  101. 101 sujuislove September 22, 2007 at 12:58 pm

    rain is smexx

    From XiaoXi:

    “I did find the “40 minute” quote in a news article of the press conference held in Berlin back in June, but true enough, they were quoting a Rain spokesman “quoting” Joel Silver.”

    It’s difficult to fathom how idiotic Rain and his handlers are! I guess it’s not enough that they have TWO lawsuits filed against them for FRAUD (the suit filed against them in Korea is a CRIMINAL suit) that they’re willing to risk a libel suit from Joel Silver, who is the executive producer (NOT the director) of Speed Racer. If the lawsuits go to trial next year, Rain and his scenes could be completely cut out from the movie.

  105. 105 XiaoXi September 23, 2007 at 4:40 pm

    I believe the quote referred to a comment Joel Silver made about what he had heard from the Wachowski Bros…Sorry, there wasn’t anything specific, that I could find. I have a hard time believing it is Rain’s best interest to be building up expectations about his role in the movie if there was a chance the final cut of it would not support their claims.

    You certainly may be right about the legal outcomes Rain may face. But unless he lands in prison, I doubt it will derail “Speed Racer” or his part in it. Americans barely know what goes on in America, much less Korea. And since the US concert promoters did NO, nada, zilch promotion outside of the US Asian markets, I doubt most of the movie goers will have a clue about Rain until they get a look at him on the screen.

    I have no inside knowledge, but I find it hard to believe Rain was criminally responsible for the defrauding of the local promoters. I CAN imagine some very shady goings-on with JYPE and StarM, and since Rain was/is in business with them, of course the mud splashes him as well.

    But having seen with my own two peepers how disappointed Rain was to have the LA concert canceled out from under him, I have to believe he did NOT know what was going on between the Korean guys and the local promoters.

    (My personal theory is that JYP took the opportunity to screw Rain over as punishment for not signing a new contract with his company…)

    Of course, if we were talking about someone I felt had no talent and whom I hated with a passion, I’m sure I would be as negative as some here. But I’m on record as really liking his voice (if not all of his music selections; I’m not a big fan of the dance show stuff either) and think he has a charismatic presence, so, though I’m not a fan girl, I’m willing to wait and see what happens, and I do hope he is successful in the US.

    But, hate on, if that’s what makes you happy. :-)

    It’s irrelevant as to whether Rain had any knowledge of the piss-poor ticket sales that led to all of his North American concerts being cancelled because he is a named defendant in the lawsuits, along with Star M and Revolution Entertainment (which apparently is a subsidiary of Star M). In addition, he and his father are shareholders of Star M stock, so there is an ownership relationship with Star M that cannot be ignored. He has TWO lawsuits filed against him — one in U.S. Federal Court, and the other in Korea’s criminal court. These are no small matter especially since the plaintiff is seriously considering upping the ante by bringing the U.S. charges into the criminal court as well.

    It may not mean much to you but having one of the featured actors being on trial for FRAUD (especially if the U.S. trial takes place in criminal court because the charges may be escalated to racketeering) will seriously damage SPEED RACER since the original Japanese anime series, with a sizeable cult following in both U.S. and Japan, is striving for a family-friendly PG or G rating. The final outcome will largely depend on the timing of the trials, which in the U.S. could begin early next year.

    Everything I’ve seen from Rain and Star M are fraudulent behavior borne from incompetence, ignorance, short-sightedness and stupidity so I don’t believe that they know HOW to behave in Rain’s best interest. Otherwise, why would they have insisted on holding the L.A. concert after cancelling Shanghai, Toronto, Honolulu, New York, San Francisco/Oakland, and Atlanta? L.A. is the home of the American film and music industries — even if they had never heard of Rain, the industry players certainly know him now as the clueless Korean guy that bailed out on his fans in L.A. and all of North America because they all read the article in the L.A. Times.

    for people who dont like RAIN, you guys know a lot about him.. interest in him, heh??
    anyway, im a bit lost… what is the Korea’s Criminal court about Rain??

  108. 108 taebin September 24, 2007 at 2:07 am

    I know about the Hawaii lawsuit (http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-hidce/case_no-1:2007cv00342/case_id-74197/) and Toronto lawsuit (http://www.rainscoming.ca/), but I never heard about a lawsuit in Korea.

  109. 109 WHN September 24, 2007 at 10:02 pm

    Thanks, taebin, for the info on the Toronto suit. I knew that the Toronto promoter was thinking about filing suit after their bankruptcy petition, but I was only paying attention to the litigation initiated by the promoter in Hawaii, who filed the two lawsuits in U.S. and Korea. The lawsuit in Korea was filed on July 6 and names Rain, StarM, Revolution Entertainment and JYP as co-defendants.

    I could care less about Rain since I had never heard of him until he was cast in SPEED RACER. However, I do care a lot about the film’s development because I am a huge fan of the original anime series, which is why I keep myself updated with the latest information. Additionally, I was asked by a journalist friend to conduct some research into the lawsuits filed by the Hawaii promoter.

    Although I am disgusted with the incompetence, stupidity, unprofessionalism, and criminally fraudulent behavior from Rain and his handlers, it’s really the bullying and smearing from Rain’s rabid fans that have really turned me off.

    Interesting take on the lawsuits possibly affecting the movie.

    What are the chances that Rain would appeal to the media when the hearings are scheduled and try to portray himself as an innocent victim? He’ll have all the fangirls believing him, but there’s one thing to remember …

    Rain is an ACTOR.

    And from what nearly everyone is proclaiming … a very good actor ….

    “My personal theory is that JYP took the opportunity to screw Rain over as punishment for not signing a new contract with his company..”

    No WAy!! You really think so? I am so scared of JYP.

  112. 112 XiaoXi September 26, 2007 at 11:38 am

    May: Yes I really believe JYP would do something like that. I really, REALLY do not like him.

  113. 113 xixi September 28, 2007 at 9:32 am

    LMFAO wedgie.. right..

  114. 114 Rayne October 5, 2007 at 7:14 am

    rain is still good…but not as good… i mean, i cried, along with half a million fangirls, over “Full House” and stuff, and i totally thought his comeback was good, but he’s getting old.

    T_T
    alas, science and fate reaches out to us all…
    i don’t like the fact that he’s growing out his hair.
    sheesh, most guys DON’T look good in long hair (are they practicing to be METRO???)

    example? like Choikang Changmin… i mean, he was DEFINIETLY the cutest (and youngest!!!) but now? long hair?

    back to topic… the pose isn’t really that bad… i mean, it’s kinda random, but it’s still good. (i just HATE the hair) ah!! plus, i love his inky!!!
