Rain opens J.Tune

10.25 rain

Korean Pinky aka Rain incorporated an entertainment management company named J.Tune yesterday. J.Tune is a step up from Rainy Entertainment, but if he wanted to carbon copy something, he shouldn’t have picked such a popular brand like iTunes. Now everyone knows that Rain can’t think out of the box even if his life depended on it.

I propose that Pinky and the Brain reunite again so Pinky stops embarrassing himself and the Brain stops liberalizing sex in Korea and just concentrate on taking over the world, even if we all know that they will never succeed.

    This is my favourite writer I believe. And I am the first comment. I feel honour.

    don’t take the catty out of popseoul, EVER. please. NEVER EVER. promise!!!

    We all know that Rain isn’t exactly famous for his supreme intellect. Other than that, those are pretty hot photos. I like the last one especially, since he’s lowered his pants enough for us to see the waistband of his undies (though that’s not exactly convincing me to buy Calvin Klein).

  5. 5 yetaz October 25, 2007 at 12:25 pm

    lolz. ah popseoul, you make my day.

  6. 6 freshhhh October 25, 2007 at 12:29 pm

    I didn’t even think about iTunes until you mentioned it.

  7. 7 yeli October 25, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    LMAO!
    i see the writer who is not fond of (for lack of a better word) of rain is back…

    aaww…my poor little rain….i agree that he needs to go back to JYP….or who knows, maybe he will do ok on his own? I guess we just have to wait and see to judge….

    but he REALLY needs to get his english down to stop embarrassing himself…

    i saw a recent video of Seven (i refuse to put the 7 in his name) speaking english and i was disappointed, i could hardly make out what he was saying….correct me if i’m wrong, but that is really bad news considering his english album is supposed to drop sometime soon…

    yet again, as long as they bring something NEW and INTERESTING to the table they should be ok…i remember when Shakira did her crossover her english was not that great but she caught people’s attention….so we’ll see

  8. 8 Ashley October 25, 2007 at 12:34 pm

    Is rain’s tattoo for real? He’s kinda hot looking in these photos. :)

  9. 9 yeli October 25, 2007 at 12:35 pm

    by the way popeoul..

    can you post the pics of So Ji Sub’s photo shoot for W magazine? i read on javabeans’ (www.dramabeans.com) blog that they are supposed to be pretty racy….

    by the looks of it on the pics she posted, i am dying of the curiosity to see the rest…hehe

  10. 10 yeli October 25, 2007 at 12:36 pm

    ooops…misspelled POPSEOUL….my bad **lowers her head in shame***

  11. 11 PopSeoul Lover! October 25, 2007 at 12:50 pm

    he needs to cut his hair but other than that i LOVE the last picture!!

  12. 12 janepak October 25, 2007 at 12:50 pm

    jyp and bi need to get back together lol

  13. 13 popseoul October 25, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    Yeli- we will get those pics up for you! “racy” is putting it nicely….it’s almost a bit disturbing.

  14. 14 Cookhwan October 25, 2007 at 1:16 pm

    @Ashley

    Rain’s concert will be held on the day after tomorrow (10/25) in the Tae-gu Worldcup stadium. We will see if his tattoo is for real or fake. I saw some of his pictures take in 2006 and there was no tattoo on his wrist as well as both of his shoulders.

  15. 15 Cookhwan October 25, 2007 at 1:17 pm

    I’m sorry. The date should be corrected. It’s not 10/25 but 10/27

  16. 16 Omo October 25, 2007 at 1:31 pm

    When photos such as these are posted up there’s no way I can bash him…all I can think about is how lucky those damn pants are. Wish I were a pair of jeans fitted perfectly for Rain.

    Post Script: Rain, forget JYP, you don’t need him. Instead, I suggest calling & hanging out with Epik High more. Ask Tablo for English lessons. In fact, I beg of you, seek out Epik High’s help in writing songs for your new “english” album. I know you Tablo are pals, please contact him.

  17. 17 :( October 25, 2007 at 1:41 pm

    not liking his whole fake tatts and long hair….

  18. 18 mackten October 25, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    Guys are looking to fem these days with their wavy ajumma perms.

  19. 19 Raihana October 25, 2007 at 2:24 pm

    love the henna tattoo…*licks Rain*..
    @ yeli..i know about JiSub photo in the W mag..infact i ordered one already..deadly sexy man..enuff said..rated 18+..*fans self*

    Love the wit ! And how this post closely links with the JYP one a few days ago.

    I am a rain fan, btw ; )

  21. 21 yeli October 25, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    Yay! thanks POPSEOUL!

    can’t wait for those pics!
    if they are really THAT explicit, are you still going to post them here? haha…think about the children! lol

    oh wells! ^____^

  22. 22 May October 25, 2007 at 3:18 pm

    *shivers* from Rain’s sexiness. Actually, I thought JTune sounds pretty good. You don’t want to pick something too out of the ordinary.

    yeah, I want Rain to collaborate with Tablo too.

    Do you guys REALLY want Rain to return to JYP? EEk! I’m sorry but have you seen his latest mv that he produced for the Wonder Girls? Tell Me! Tell Me! Do you REALLY want that to happen to Rain?

  23. 23 May October 25, 2007 at 3:20 pm

    I still can’t believe Tell Me is VERY popular now. Good Lord, JYP can make anything popular with a pinch of magic.

  24. 24 lazybum October 25, 2007 at 3:48 pm

    lol i thought Jtunes sounded oddly familiar…

  25. 25 ed October 25, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    that 1st pic looked so familiar & oddly un-michael jackson…til i realized, yes, it’s mick jagger in his prime! (or INXS when they pulled the same skinny sexy rock god thing.)
    tsk tsk could korea be ready for glam rock?

  26. 26 Mizaki October 25, 2007 at 4:20 pm

    At least he’s sexy. If all else fails, he could just pull a Lady and do the nude photobook copout. LOLOLOL.

    Really, though, he should just put the JYP collar back on.

  27. 27 eli October 25, 2007 at 4:35 pm

    ._.” dang he looks funny in the first picture.
    with that hair.. he looks like a girl..
    and.. whats up with the short shirt?
    ._. looks very weird to me..

  28. 28 sweatsweat October 25, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    um…is orange CK undie in now for the ambigiously gays? I luv Rain too, esp if he’s gay, which I think he is….right?

    But please leave Tablo alone, if they become a couple, I cant handle the hotness.

  29. 29 Gina_Tay October 25, 2007 at 4:47 pm

    wow….i guess popseoul not-so-liking-rain writer is back
    enough positive post about rain
    hahaha

    niwei,back to the post
    i dun think rain reuniting with JYP is a good idea
    let’s wish him luck witn his new entertainment company

    for the above pics,only the hair is a bit disturbing to me
    other than that,i think he looks fine

    i dunno,is it just me or his body is not as hot as before

  30. 30 Jackie October 25, 2007 at 5:00 pm

    LOL I am a huge Bi fan but I cant help but agree and find this hilarious. Bi just doesn’t have the business sense for this, and he himself has said he’s not the brightest bulb. The smartest thing Bi could do is find some good business associates who could steer him in the right direction. Best of luck to Bi, i love you baby MUAAAAH!!

  31. 31 jjhero October 25, 2007 at 5:17 pm

    is that a real tattoo :D

  32. 32 Natz October 25, 2007 at 6:09 pm

    Well, at least JTune is better then Rainy Ent.

    Lolz, I can’t help thinking how he looks more and more like Pinky after that comparison you made. *Shakes head hard*

    And while I agree that the guy needs somebody to manage him (and his business), I strongly disagree with him going back to JYP too. It’s going downhill!

    Am neutral about Mr Rain but this entry was great, Popseoul.

  33. 33 ia737id October 25, 2007 at 6:18 pm

    ahh popseul…usually those who doesn’t use brain will success…..kekekkee..! if ur brain sucks don’t use it..period.
    i love jtunes compare tu rainy entertainment….yukkk….

  34. 34 Dumpling October 25, 2007 at 7:11 pm

    Woot! My favorite PopSeoul writer is back!!

  35. 35 Arie October 25, 2007 at 7:32 pm

    LMAO XD
    I’m laughing so hard, now X’D
    This was seriously hilarious! Congratulations x3~
    He should stop caring about world domination, he’s brain i s too underdeveloped for that…
    Just keep sticking your face everywhere, that’ll give you more recognition LOL

    Rain should stick at Asia… not World wide ._. and this goes to every Asian artists.

  38. 38 kky2k October 25, 2007 at 8:34 pm

    Good luck Ji Hoon!

  39. 39 Di October 25, 2007 at 9:20 pm

    ROFLMAO
    I’ve never had much love for Rain…but I’m starting to feel a little pity… *tsks*

  40. 40 Blahblahbon October 25, 2007 at 9:20 pm

    How the hell is Rain attractive…?
    He’s fugly, and looks dirty all the time, and oh my god, what a frickin’ awkward picture that is.
    He seriously looks female.

  41. 41 Di October 25, 2007 at 9:24 pm

    mm…
    P.S. Bring on those photos of JiSub oppa, popseoul *whistles*

  42. 42 reina October 26, 2007 at 12:12 am

    i can only say

    thanx 4 the hot pics of rain

    i dont agree wit the whole asian artist thing..there’s alot more wit talents that will make ur jaw drop~

    nooo…!he cant go back to JYP!! that man is going to sexed him up even more!

  45. 45 gez October 26, 2007 at 1:54 am

    eek… what a photo!!

    i remind there a lot of actors who try those kind of style,
    and fr me this is defineltely the worst…

  46. 46 ArcticShatter October 26, 2007 at 2:00 am

    Wah…What a frickin’ hottie Rain is :d

  47. 47 justme. October 26, 2007 at 2:23 am

    Why is this not surprising at all? Im already bored with rain’s recent updates. Anything else better? Like Big Bang or DBSK updates will be chocolates. :D

  48. 48 grace October 26, 2007 at 2:51 am

    Don’t know about his brains but you gotta hand it to Rain, he does (did?) work hard and he had ambitions. Unrealistic, they may be…He was ripe for JYP to exploit-he was young, willing to work hard and game for anything that’ll bring him fame. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Rain without JYP

  49. 49 jp4675 October 26, 2007 at 3:13 am

    I like Rain, but what’s with that look? You can’t even see his face. Hate the hair. Really can’t tell whether he still works out or not! He needs a decent stylist BAD. IMHO he’s WAY better off without JYP (ugh), but he should drop the Michael Jackson copycat s**t…he will never make it stateside the way he’s going now. I think he’s got potential…certainly as an actor, but if he gets more bad advice, his 15 minutes of fame are up.

    Okay, where the heck are the So Ji Sub pics???? ;)

  50. 50 soju October 26, 2007 at 3:29 am

    welcome back POPSEOUL!!

    i really really missed you!

    j.tune. rainy entertainment. yeah, serious brain crampage there.

  51. 51 soju October 26, 2007 at 3:30 am

    oh, yeah. and i’m really looking forward to his hotness so jisub’s racy pictures too!!!!

  52. 52 akon October 26, 2007 at 4:38 am

    hahahahhaha

    he IS PINKY!

  53. 53 Mimi October 26, 2007 at 6:58 am

    I LOVE YOU. Your articles on Bi never cease to amaze me. 8D And I’m lovin the Pinky & The Brain analogy XD

    But honestly Bi… who told him leaving JYP would be a good idea? @.@;; He totally went downhill from there.

  54. 54 Jess1tym October 26, 2007 at 7:38 am

    Hot Hot and Hot…I say he just stop singing and just become a permanent actor. I think he’s a better actor!!!

  55. 55 tangy October 26, 2007 at 9:00 am

    ugh i’m soooo sick of rain….i was he’d just stop lying around in cK underwear and get his ass up and make some music
    or come back to the US to perform the concerts that were concealed….it’s only fair to his fans
    i know people are like blah blah blah it wasn’t rain’s fault he didn’t do anything wrong….well i don’t see him trying to make anything right

    wow i got off topic…..haha so J.tunes huh. i think it kinda sucks cause he’s setting up a whole entertainment company not only for music….i mean he acts too…so the tunes part doesn’t really make sense
    i actually prefer rainy entertainment

  56. 56 tangy October 26, 2007 at 9:01 am

  58. 58 sun ya October 26, 2007 at 9:57 am

    ehh… im not sure that i like his clothing…
    the jeans shouldn’t go above the hips, hahaha…

  59. 59 confused October 26, 2007 at 1:59 pm

    I was having serious withdrawal symptoms from the negative Rain posts. Thank you so much for making my day! :-)

    J.Tune.?
    although it does sound like a ripoff from iTunes…
    could it be that the J stands for his real name? in fact, J.Tune kind of sounds like Ji Hoon.

    J.Tune ?
    Ji Hoon?

    I don’t know. But looking back at “RAINY ENTERTAINMENT”…

    yeah…

    I just lost my tiny ounce of hope for Rain’s creativity.>.<

  60. 60 uhuh October 26, 2007 at 3:07 pm

    ahahaha pinky and brain!?!?!?! NICE NAMES LMAO

  61. 61 XiaoXi October 26, 2007 at 3:15 pm

    jp4675–are you my alter ego? I agree with everything you said. JYP seems stuck in the 70’s–Rain had better forget everything JYP told him about what it takes to make it in the US and find someone living in the present to direct him. And, since Rain is reported to now be blaming his concert failures on RACISM (!) someone should clue him in that potential fans don’t turn into actual fans when you spend your time calling them names instead of getting out there and marketing your product to them.

    I’m so sick of hearing how racist Americans are…Real racism is calling white people names because they didn’t use their ESP to figure out someone they have never heard of is coming to town for a concert that was only advertised in ASIAN media. Yeah, sure, why the heck aren’t Americans reading Korean newspapers, in Korean? Those racist pigs.

  62. 62 choo October 26, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    Im not saying all but, really, many americans are racist. And i cant believe that still exists today. *tsk* *tsk*

    RACISTS ARE PATHETIC PEOPLE.

    And, oh, regarding this post, I told ya, after another oh-so-positive post about Rain (whch was prior to this), there will be another neagtive post.

    Cmon, pospeoul, you’re so predictable already. it’s boring.

    Why did popseoul nincknamed him PINKY, btw?

    Before I forget, he looks HOT on the photos. Oh la la!

  63. 63 chay October 26, 2007 at 5:14 pm

    Yeah I think the J stands for his first name.

    As for J.Tune, I also didnt think of iTunes until you mentioned it. It’s a better than the previous one. But actually, the previous name- Rainy Ent.?-was not his company. It was his father’s.

    Rain’s looks hot on those CK photos. woot!!!

  64. 64 nikki October 26, 2007 at 5:50 pm

    minus the head, he’s an eye candy for sure.

  65. 65 RoflMyWaffle October 26, 2007 at 8:44 pm

    -ashchronicles89

    not all can’t go through American barrier just like Americans can’t go through our barrier.

    Here’s one of the examples…

    DBSK vs Rolling Stones

    Bad timing for Rolling Stones, barely 1/2 showed up.

    Kpop is still young, even J pop can’t go through American barrier so how could K pop go through? J pop and Kpop are @ whole different level

  66. 66 hannah October 27, 2007 at 12:30 am

    See? I knew it! Welcome back, POPSEOUL!
    Although i’m a fan of it, i can’t deny that J.Tune is not a very nice name. However, it’s way better than Rainy Ent. And, i do agree that Rain should come back to his old manager, JYP or find someone else who could help him as JYP did. He is taking a risk with his career now, which makes me really nervous. God bless you, Rain!

  67. 67 ana October 27, 2007 at 1:54 am

    Why is Rain still on the JYP website when he already left the company?…

  68. 68 HATEJJHS October 27, 2007 at 2:33 am

    Bi is on JYP’s website under ’secret gimp’?

  69. 69 amazed October 27, 2007 at 3:35 am

    Folks, don’t be talkin bad about Bi.

  70. 70 Min A October 27, 2007 at 6:54 am

    J.Tune definitely sounds better than Rainy Enertainment…he’s looking really good in those pictures…he should just sign with sidius hq and be an actor and model. entrepunuership are for intellectuals…he’s going to regret it when his company sinks.

  71. 71 kellz October 27, 2007 at 6:23 pm

    love bi :)

    anyway,some info behind the name.

    An official announcement from Rain’s agency on Oct 18 stated that the company name was renamed from “Satec” to “J. Tune Entertainment”. The company staff said, “After several discussion between Rain and the management, this name was chosen finally. It contains various meanings, other than revealing Rain’s future direction, more importantly it also shows that Rain is going into a wider and broader stage in the world.”

    The name “J. Tune” contains several meanings. First of all, the first letter “J” is the initial of Rain’s real name, Jeong Jihun. Using his own name in company name, it emphasizes that this company represents Rain himself - a hidden meaning of “Jeong Jihun’s private limited.”

    Secondly, the word “Tune” has the meanings of ’singing’ ‘voices of all instruments’. Compared to the name of “Jeong Jihun”, this word expresses Rain’s ambition to go around the world.

    With the announcement of Rain’s new company, it means the beginning of the world stage. Rain will perform a musical show on Oct 27 in Daegu. After that, he will immediately participate in the preparation work for USA market. Rain will fly to USA in November to work on his USA album, film, CFs and other overseas activities.

    So is Rain able to sail over the world smoothly? Does his great ambitions come true like what described in his new company name? We shall see then.
