Is Rain losing his magical touch?

20071027bi25

With sexy dance moves that can make any girl swoon, wannabe world-star, Rain (25) performed his “It’s Raining” tour in front of 15,000 fans in Daegu on October 27th, 2007.

But it seems that he might be losing his magic. After a 10 month hiatus, we all know that Rain has been through a lot- parting ways with JYP, concert cancellations, founding a new company, filming a Hollywood movie and claiming that he was a victim of discrimination. And so, in order to get back into his game, Rain (bi) has called upon the higher powers to channel the ex-king of pop, Michael Jackson – the gloved one – to cast a spell on the audience. Notice the hand signals.

For casting a strong spell, Rain needs to wear his sunglasses (at night)

First, point up

Then, to the left

20071027bi1320071027bi1120071027bi1620071027bi19

Now, balancing both sides

20071027bi1520071027bi1720071027bi14

Protection against any evil forces directed back at him

20071027bi720071027bi1

Checking if spell is working

20071027bi30

The spell must be working

20071027bi24

Gathering his power via the Karate Kid move

20071027bi27

Throwing in a Michael Jackson crotch grab move for good measure

20071027bi34

Signalling the victims audience to focus back on him

20071027bi35

Doing a bit of robotic speak with his belly.

20071027bi23

To ensure that no one is left out of the spell, Rain does his best move – the nipple flash jump

20071027bi620071027bi32

Knowing that his spell has worked, Rain does a victory dance, i.e. the cabbage patch.

20071027bi28

Now the question is: How long will the spell last? Or is it already over?

    well, well, well, look at this entry. 200 comments.
    Congratulations for attracting many people.

    This one can be used to answer your question. Based from the number of replies on this entry comparing to every other entry on this site, I say He’s still not losing it. And you’re gaining so much popularity because of Rain. You should thank him! Hahahaha.

    ^ i don’t see any connection between the number of comments on a blog on Rain’s “not losing it”..

  3. 4 tok2006 October 29, 2007 at 11:08 pm

    OMG this post looks a forum!!!

    PopSeoul you need new services here!!!

  4. 5 Aya October 29, 2007 at 11:27 pm

    Mainly the comments were the same people talking to eachother… I think it has little to do with anything else, although this was a funny post.

  5. 6 May October 29, 2007 at 11:30 pm

    At the concert:
    During the “Nan” song, he took off this shirt (wow, this is a rare case)

    more girl grinding, hip thrusting, abs-flashing. what more can you ask for? ^_^

    R~A~I~N and ONLY R~A~I~N can stir this blog up. So, who says he’s losing his magical touch?

    Popseoul, I shall look forward to your next R~A~I~N write-up. Hope you won’t make me wait long.

    May the blessing from the Almighty One endlessly R~A~I~N down on you.

    Until then,

    Well, did anyone notice that just a post on Rain captured 198 comments, including mine?
    Is Rain really losing it? Or is he gaining more? I really wonder.
    Anyway, if Rain is not good enough to represent Korea Pop Music, let’s find one who is.
    As a bystander, I guess I see how much a talking point he is.

    couldn’t agree more..
    this might be the 210th comment.. lol

  11. 12 lmsandra October 30, 2007 at 2:52 am

    The concert was amazing and those who paid their money enjoyed themselves and that’s what matters.:) I still enjoy Rain and respect that others may not. My only thought is why be so offensive to each other. You can say you like or don’t like without disrespecting each other.

    Still loving Rain

  12. 13 EKCC October 30, 2007 at 3:03 am

    wonder if popseoul have ever seen his concert..

    ppl who think rain is not talented at all should see his concert in real. then they’ll probably change their mind..

    just found his daegu concert clip on youtube, chek this out!!!

    his move here is just speechless
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=a34gWCd9F58

    he sure can sing live and he got the body!!!

    It depends on who you ask if MJ is hated, I live in Los Angeles, he’s really not news anymore. I think most people have lost interest in him.
    I like Rain, he’s young, he’s good looking, he’s talented. But, he should drop any association with MJ, just be Rain.

  14. 15 lmsandra October 30, 2007 at 3:12 am

    Hi Popsoeul, why don’t you try a new punching bag instead of Rain (or are you having too much fun). Let’s see… maybe Se7en and let’s see how his fans react.

  15. 16 soju October 30, 2007 at 3:19 am

    popseoul, you are too funny! loved this article!

    drizzle is circling the drain.

    so sad.

  16. 17 amazed October 30, 2007 at 3:20 am

    RAIN will make it despite all the negative talk. Yall need to stop hatin.

  17. 18 Katin October 30, 2007 at 5:22 am

    lmsandra, Popseoul has bashed almost every popularentertainer out there or were you not here long enough to notice that? Only very few times PS has said neutral/positive things about them (including Rain!).

    And just so you know making new a “punching bag” doesn’t make the situation any better and just stooping to Popseoul level.

  18. 19 Katin October 30, 2007 at 5:24 am

    I find it ridiculous people try divert others’ attention on Rain onto other celebs. I agree that offensive/rude comments should stop, but no one should sugarcoat what Rain has done/hasn’t done.

  19. 20 yetaz October 30, 2007 at 5:26 am

    Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH sounds like shes using a thesaurus to make a “smartass” comment each time someone differs from her views. and you can see a kind of “format” in the way she writes..usually concluding with sth like “bye faggot”, “stop whining geek”>>using subjective swear words at the individual. and she needs to get a life.
    no one cares about rain. hes definitely going down the drain. i agree with popseoul that pinky and brain should reunite.

    POPSEOUL! I’ll look forward to what you’ve got on So Ji Sup.

    ha!! we tried to see his “concert in real” but guess what? he cancelled them all!

    No honey, even POPSEOUL cannot afford Rain’s concert ticket. BTW, did she only chose pics from the TOUCH YA performance?

  22. 23 Kitsune October 30, 2007 at 6:22 am

    wooo I love those youtube links *O*

    well I died in “Nan” song
    he always do that performance just
    the new thing is that he pull down his pants a little xD
    OMG

  23. 24 Raihana October 30, 2007 at 7:15 pm

    oh..So JiSub’s sexsiness will drown Rain for sure..
    get ready for The Brown Bunny pics!!..deathly sexy!!!

  24. 25 a fan October 30, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    pull down his pants is not new… he did that too in bangkok concert… so this is the secont time..
    if you want to see the clips go find in youtube…
    DAEGU concert is one of his best perf till now..!! his dance smoother and sexier
    and XDXD at the comments!!
    at least Rain already faced the some of hard things in his career, unlike other stars, so i believe he will be always success!!

  25. 26 sleepy hollow October 30, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    Man Man … there is alot and a lot of comments! I like it!!!hahhhaha ! whether Rain is down fall or not, it still stir up people attention right? So we will see!!!!
    Anyway, although I do not like the way this guy cancelled all his concert in the US, I still want to give him a toast for trying to break the Asian barriers in the US market. It is long history of knowing that US people (except many Asian- Americans) are looking down on us on Asians pop music; so when I let some of our American friends listen to some Asian music genes, most of them thought it is weirdo and do not interested in much. Americans also have big prides about their music you know! So we have to wait and see who is brave enough to break in!

  26. 27 sweatsweat October 30, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    where ar the muscles?! even they r gone?! gosh I was depending on it to distract me fr his gawdawful hair and face and clothes.

    and seriously, unless u r cuckoo, MJ imitators ar soooo passe and revolting EVERYWHERE, esp in US. and the worst choice for this boy is that, he copied the worst part of the MJ package, his 80s style and hair and white gloves. *tsktsktsk*

  27. 28 amused October 31, 2007 at 12:32 am

    A friend passed me a perfect fancam of Nan (Daegu concert).

    He really looks like the Michelin Man >< – I wish he would exercise!! He’s fat AND flabby.

    That was fun!^^

  29. 30 ? October 31, 2007 at 8:58 am

    @Dumpling
    What make you better than rest of us ?Just because you make lot’s of money and educated ? you dont have to call people stupid because they don’t agree with you.

  30. 31 ? October 31, 2007 at 9:08 am

    @Dumpling
    What make you better than rest of us ?Just because you make lot’s of money and educated ? you dont have to call people stupid just because they don’t agree with you. Remember Holocaust and slavery ?Educated people commited these crimes.Just because you make six figures doesn’t mean you are more moral or intelligent than blue collar workers.Blue collar workers are people too.Those same educated people claimed that us black people are naturally stupid .Does education make you a better person or human being ?IN my opinion no.Darwin was educated from upper class family,but he was racist who believed that blacks were inferior people .

  31. 32 ? October 31, 2007 at 9:12 am

    I got nothing against you Dumpling ,but why hate Rain ?He didn’t do anything bad to you?I am no saying all educated people are bad ,but most of them are Elitist AND arrogant people .

  32. 33 Raihana October 31, 2007 at 9:16 am

    Rain is an arrogant dude..i don’t know but that’s what his ex-fans told me..

  33. 34 ? October 31, 2007 at 11:25 am

    Humbleness should be most important human trait.Too many arrogant people in this crazy world.I mean look at Donald Trump callin’ Rosie ‘O donnell fat pig?Who cares if his billionare?He ain’t genious,he inherited his money from his pops.I dont believe that the are smart or stupid people ,not everybody gets same opportunities in life.Look at my people (black americans)we still earn less than white boys on average ,and graduate less from colleges.Are we stupid compared to white boys and Asians?Not all of us speak ebonics.And whats proper English anyway?Ebonics is not inferior to proper English.

  34. 35 May October 31, 2007 at 11:54 am

    “Rain is an arrogant dude..i don’t know but that’s what his ex-fans told me..”

    Where the hell is this so-called x-fan?
    LOL. no Real Cloud would ever bring themselves to say that.
    Dear ?, please don’t mind the bad comments in this post. They’re just doing it for the entertainment.

    Even the Romans put up Gladiator shows for pure enjoyment. Don’t worry, a little bash to Rain won’t do us Clouds any harm (as if it ever did anyways.)

    From my point of view, it makes fans love Rain even more bc they’re defending him to the grave. Ji Hoon Oppa forever in my heart.

  35. 36 Aya October 31, 2007 at 12:02 pm

    “not everybody gets same opportunities in life.Look at my people (black americans)”

    My friend, the black Americans I know are all incredibly wealthy, they worked for their income just like the rest of us and put themselves through college JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. If you don’t aspire to do great things you never will. EVERYONE is capable of working, and making money for college. Well, excluding those with severe handicaps. Everyone (generally) is capable of working two jobs if they can’t make it on one, everyone is capable of doing it and if no one does it, that’s laziness. I know TONS of “black Americans” who make a lot, more than one FEMALE “black American” doctor. If you are somehow feeling some kind of racism where you are, you should consider moving. Don’t have enough to move? Work. Get college money. Its not hard, really.

  36. 37 ? October 31, 2007 at 12:48 pm

    Aya,i guess as a white girl you still don’t get it do you? Not everbody gets the same opportunityes in life .Are you calling blue collar workers lazy ?shameon you .Just because not everybody is as educated as you doesnt give you right calling them lazy?Are you saying you better than blue collar worker?All right ,what if some body is retarded mentally and cant finish college,then they are lazy?Not everybody inherits same genes for Intelligence i heard.Everybody is talented in their own way,some are geniouses others great athletes.I am not going to argue with you ,obviously your opinion is different .But the fact is we earn less than white people.Look it up in Wekipedia about earnings of Blacks,whites and Asians.Did you hear recently famous scientist James. D. Watson called us genetically stupid?He said we have lower IQ’s naturally .I mean that was ridiculos statement coming out of mouth of scientist.How absurd?

  37. 38 Raihana October 31, 2007 at 1:38 pm

    *May*..yep..his ex-fans..very hardcore who followed him everywhere..and i mean everywhere..they have since moved on to other k/hunks..*shrugs*
    wow..Miss ‘?’….you have theories, science, stuff n Trump..etc..impressive! and this is regarding Rain..

    yep, that is so true. people like may are blind and will defend drizzle to the end. he can do no wrong. yeah, right. my friends were really into drizzle, too, until they had the chance to see him walking in a casino in vegas in december ‘06. they tried to approach him (not mob-style, but with respect) but when he saw them, he quickly changed direction and walked away. another friend asked if she could have autograph and he brushed her off. so, arrogant? yeah. very. unless he’s doing pr work, that is.

  39. 40 TD November 1, 2007 at 9:25 am

    man, the same ppl keep coming into rain archives and commenting on how much they hate rain, yet they spend all their time finding out all of rain’s news…hmmm so did rain lose his touch? obviously not, since he’s getting all this attention in here!

    just a bunch of haters who are jealous!

  40. 41 .. November 1, 2007 at 12:19 pm

    Of course ,bunch of haters .

  41. 42 tony November 1, 2007 at 5:41 pm

    i just come here to support rain and i’ll love him forever .

  42. 43 mily93 November 3, 2007 at 2:01 pm

    I dont got why people wrote all those retarded stuff about RAIN, but i personally think that he is really talented. and it doesn’t matter what he does he just want more people to know him and enjoy his music. If you were a celeb you would do the same thing, I know I would. so stop criticizing him

  43. 44 kate November 5, 2007 at 12:40 am

    Wow 244 comments and losing his magic touch ?

  44. 45 sweet November 6, 2007 at 9:00 pm

    you’re really very good lolz it’s so funny how you describe all the spell power lolz

  45. 46 sexychikita November 26, 2007 at 1:27 am

    have you seen his recent CLEAR shampoo commercial? oh mah god, he’s so hot there!=D i think it was aired here in PH 2 weeks ago.=)

  46. 47 lolocandieyes November 26, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    Haha…awe now I feel bad. I still love you Rain no matter what. He tries so hard. Haha

  47. 48 Rukiya November 30, 2007 at 1:41 pm

    Rain! is very HOT…
    I love all her moves♥
    OMG
    Rain is my Crush

  48. 50 Anon December 1, 2007 at 12:24 pm

    I only really started paying attention to Rain a little while ago. He’s certainly doing his “own thing” but I can’t ignore the fact that I really see Michael Jackson influences. But he’s not the only one who has “copied” MJ. *achem* Justin *achem* ^_^

    But anyways….I have to say…I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HIS JAWLINE….bahahahaha! I honestly don’t know what it is. weird, i know, but he has a fantastic jawline.
