Pop or Flop: Rain wears lady lumps

20071218_rain3

Our favorite ESL student, Rain wears lady lumps on the back of his shirt. So what? At least you can tell they are true womanly lumps and not mosquito bite-sized ones. I’m jealous.

20071218_rain2

Pop or flop: Lady lumps on Rain’s shirt are…

1) gross. Rain should have better taste

2) cool: Rain can wear anything he wants

3) whatever. Rain is not a star but an ESL student

To those of you who think the lumps are fake….

Check out the “15” warning on the screen -the Korean press would not be putting that on unless they they thought something should be viewed for those over the age of 15. Unless, of course, only 15 and over can look at Mr. ESL.

Check out the clip below at 0.41 where the “15″ warning appears (in Korean):

Pop in:
JYP wants you to lower your expectations of Rain
Rain wears CineAsia Awards for Star of the Year
Rain wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Rain throws a punch and no one cares

    That’s disgusting

  6. 6 Dumpling December 19, 2007 at 2:31 am

    He’s a massive idiot. Just when I think I can give him a break, he does something like this. What a rude and vulgar thing to do. Completely inappropriate. He thinks he’s so f*cking cool. He’s a wannabe and a poseur–that’s the problem with him.

  7. 7 Chica_b0um December 19, 2007 at 2:33 am

    It’s fake alright! Someone photoshop’d it… =______________=

  8. 8 Dumpling December 19, 2007 at 2:33 am

    Okay, so apparently it’s fake. He’s still an idiot though. That hasn’t changed since the last time he was an idiot.

  9. 9 popseoul December 19, 2007 at 2:36 am

    oooh pulllllllllllese…. it’s real

  10. 10 soju December 19, 2007 at 2:51 am

    where are the clouds? they should have this posted on rain-usa, right? c’mon clouds … is it real or not???

  11. 11 California ♥ December 19, 2007 at 3:01 am

    Fake or not. It’s a stupid shirt.
    I don’t think he’d wear something like that… but then he did?

  12. 12 Jackie December 19, 2007 at 3:16 am

    I don’t care if its real or fake. Its just boobs! The world needs to ge over it’s fear of BOOBS! OMG what harm are they gonna do ya! You all sucked on em once to get food and now you’re all up in arms and scared of them! People are back-assed!

  13. 13 Raye December 19, 2007 at 3:26 am

    Its real ppl!! That shirt is real.

    Me being a total Bi freak i was very angry he wore this shirt. I mean its so disgusting. What was he thinking? I lost some respect for him. I really have but I chalk it up to Bi being human and stupid. So I forgive him. But he can’t disrespect women ever like this again.

  14. 14 Jackie December 19, 2007 at 3:36 am

    @Raye.. how is showing boobs disrespectful to women??? They are part of the human body! Showing them is not disrespectful! Believe it or not but there are some cultures where boobs are exposed 24/7. are those women ‘disrespectful’ to themselves? I think the shirt was tastefully done! Its obvious you all are just too immature to handle looking at a part of your own body! So sad really…

  15. 15 Omo December 19, 2007 at 3:42 am

    The shirt is as real as Rain’s US concert dates.

  16. 16 soju December 19, 2007 at 3:45 am

    jackie needs to chill. i don’t care if boobs are exposed 24/7 in some parts of the world. in THIS culture, it’s not acceptable. and Raye is right that shirt is an exploitation of women because by putting it into a publically graphic image, it trivializes females.

    and didn’t drizzle just come off of a spokespersonship against human trafficking? just goes to show that he didn’t fully understand what it was he was endorsing. you can’t save some of the people and diss others.

    it’s not that the rest of us are immature, it’s that jackie’s moral compass is screwed up.

  17. 17 taebin December 19, 2007 at 3:46 am

    It´s no fake! Watch this SBS News from 07.12.07

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSkP28LbJNc

    For one who was spokesman for MTV against traffic with women and children it´s respectless. I have no problem with being naked, but to wear this shirt is not cool or funny. this is only a insult to women.

  18. 18 jamjam December 19, 2007 at 3:47 am

    haha thats quite funny the korean tv even had the little age 15 warning sign! haha

  19. 19 Seeny December 19, 2007 at 4:01 am

    what a stupid decision. you’d think some alarm bells would have gone off in his head when considering this shirt… especially since he wants to be a WORLD STAR. gross. why would he go out into public wearing this?

    and it looks real to me… even in the linked site above, the shirt looks the same, just more blurry.

  20. 20 nx512 December 19, 2007 at 4:07 am

    it’s just a shirt……. let him be?

  21. 21 rachel December 19, 2007 at 4:14 am

    it’s just a shirt. what’s more important is that he’s in the speed racer trailer. hotness! :)

  22. 22 May December 19, 2007 at 4:15 am

    hehe. so Rain likes real women, huh?
    :P

  23. 23 ed December 19, 2007 at 4:31 am

    it’s time rain start respecting men & wear some shirts showing erect gochu.

  24. 24 lalala December 19, 2007 at 4:36 am

    I don’t know if it’s real or not, but the thing i find most amusing is how people are reacting. OMG BOOBS!! LOL.

  25. 25 paran December 19, 2007 at 4:44 am

    You gotta love the clouds. Forever making excuses for him and acting as if he’s done nothing wrong.

  26. 26 chiaye December 19, 2007 at 4:52 am

    lol, i want to do a Hi-5 with LALALA

    <3

  27. 27 yeli December 19, 2007 at 4:53 am

    LMAO at his “i’m very gentle”…lol

    his voice sounds funny when he speaks english..
    and he needs to lose those glasses with that hat…only Johnny Depp can pull that off…it makes him look so dorky lol..

    anyways, about the shirt…it was on the clip for only a few seconds…he still shouldn’t have worn it though

    but what are you going to do..with fame comes criticism..

    haha…for all we know he probably did it on purpose so we would all be talking about it…and here we are…TALKING about it

  28. 28 Omo-nah! December 19, 2007 at 4:54 am

    oww, thats a really bad taste for clothes, although i don’t blame Bi, hes style very eccentric and he probbly didnt even pick it out, his stylist probaly did, childish bi probably only say the front and thought it was his usual plain tight a@@ shirt. beside their just boos and this shirt wasnt that bad. i couldnt even tell. took a while to really make out the ….”lumps?”

  29. 29 babycakes December 19, 2007 at 4:59 am

    boobies!
    ….dumbass! if you want some boobs go get some, don’t wear them.

  30. 30 aquarious December 19, 2007 at 5:21 am

    Popseoul… I kinda know you’ll post this. hahaha…

  31. 31 aquarious December 19, 2007 at 5:37 am

    I’m not liking that Rain wears this shirt.

    He knew that he’s gonna be on TV news.
    I hope he won’t wear like this again in public.
    He should be careful what he does or says cuz all eyes are on him.
    This is definitely not the right choice to wear.

  32. 32 E December 19, 2007 at 5:41 am

    OMG I am a woman and Rain wearing that shirt is not disgusting(its just breasts) but if people think its disrispectful then blame it on those who did it or the person who was willing to pose for a shirt like that…..I mean if women do not respect themselves then how do they expect others to do so……calm down everyone like i said its just a shirt

  33. 33 sweatsweat December 19, 2007 at 5:54 am

    E, as a girl honestly I’m just mildly offended just because it’s Rain and it’s on tv. under appropriate circumstances, posing nude, showing boobies is acceptable. Printing it on tees is a bit tacky, but if the person wearing it does not stick his silly face on tv, that’s fine too. The shirt is disgusting though…it’s too tight, it’s showing Rain’s boobies too…and it’s very girly.

    I’m fine with it and wont be pissy if Rain will just say it out loud that he is one silly pinky. Then all his actions are explained and I can have peace.

    and on the same token Jackie, penises, balls and vaginas are all parts of our body, so it’s ok to wear it around on printed shirts?! Those are called private parts for good reasons.

    And I contend that it’s not “just a shirt”. People dress to express themselves. If he chooses to express himself that way, then that’s what he’s all about.

    If you’re in a department store and an “everyday” man wore that shirt in front of your 8-year-old son on the escalator, I bet a lot of you would be oh-so-offended. So why, then, are you making excuses for this?

    The graphic itself is in poor taste. What makes this disgusting is that someone who’s supposed to be a role model is wearing it.

  35. 35 Whatever December 19, 2007 at 7:15 am

    So it’s only the fault of the people who made the shirt? The fact he chose to wear it doesn’t make a difference?

    When A&F were marketing all those racially charged shirts, you’re saying that people who actually chose to buy them and wear them didn’t do anything wrong?

    As for the culture comment — yes, maybe some places they do bare all and think nothing of it. Have you not considered in other cultures, you can’t even show your legs, ankles, face, etc? Way to be completely hypocritical and show off your ignorance.

  36. 36 Star December 19, 2007 at 7:15 am

    RAIN?? If he wants to become a world star then he shouldnt wear that shirt. Some people might say its okay and others may not..so why wear a questionable shirt? In my opinion its just a shirt but I kinda don’t like that it has to have that image… I still have my respect 4 rain!:P

  37. 37 yetaz December 19, 2007 at 7:31 am

    effing idiot. he should get some off JYP’s tits.

  38. 38 Joli December 19, 2007 at 7:38 am

    Nothing makes me angrier than hot guys making dumb decisions.

    Concerning the “FAKE” or “REAL” confusion, I think it’s possible that he wore two different shirts. But more likely than not, he wore a shirt with boobs on it for real and a fan photoshopped a screen capture to make it look like he didn’t wear a boob shirt. I don’t know.

    And whether or not it’s offensive to women depends on the person, but I believe it is. Regardless of whether or not a culture exists that idolizes breasts, that’s barely relevant to the topic–I doubt Rain was thinking of those cultures if/when he bought the shirt. Rain wearing a shirt with bare, exposed breasts on it would be like someone else going out in public with a bare, exposed…male body part on it. More than anything else, though, it really is a form of disrespect.

  39. 39 oh my~ December 19, 2007 at 7:48 am

    wtf the boobs look 3D
    attention whore?

  40. 40 tacohead December 19, 2007 at 7:57 am

    effing idiot. he should get some off JYP’s tits.

    Rain has been to busy sucking on JYP’s Dick. The 2 queers make a great pair.

  41. 41 California @hearts; December 19, 2007 at 8:06 am

    Despite the fact it has breasts on it (which is tasteless),
    it’s just a horrible looking shirt? I mean, wtf? I don’t find it cool or stylish AT ALL… but that’s just me.

  42. 42 Aimee December 19, 2007 at 8:10 am

    I just find the shirt ugly and weird. I mean, is it suppose to be in the back? I just don’t get it. It’s not even fashionable. It’s just… IDIOTIC.

    I blame the person who created this shirt. It’s hideous.
    But Rain is a jackass for wearing it. I swear, he’ll wear anything his stylist gives him. Who the hell is his stylist? Because I’d like to slap him/her in the face!

  43. 43 Rayne December 19, 2007 at 8:14 am

    LOL. rain’s english is TERRIBLE. like, he can speak, but his accents so horrible.. omg…… he needs to work on some REAL american english xD

    psh. he wears lady boobs cuz man boobs are outta fashion xDD

  44. 44 noodles December 19, 2007 at 8:18 am

    Has JYP not warned us a few days ago?!

    ‘We should just all lower expectations for Rain, so we are not easily disappointed after Rain’s dumb mistakes’ (credit : Popseoul)

  45. 45 noodles December 19, 2007 at 8:23 am

    I hope this is not his new image for the sake of entering the USA market.

  47. 47 ♥ &heart; ♥ December 19, 2007 at 8:24 am

    Rain looks so cute in the video. Yes, he has an accent. Why are we surprised? He’s a born and raised Korean who’s lived in Korea all his life? Hello?

    Anyways, I have to agree. That shirt is hideous and very tasteless. He shouldn’t be so careless in what shirts the stylists or anybody offer him.

  48. 48 so moving... December 19, 2007 at 8:28 am

    oooooh, popseoul. you punk. trying to make rain look really bad.

    i’m moving to k-popped.com

    all you do is insult people…

  51. 51 zen December 19, 2007 at 8:40 am

    The picture on k-popped doesn’t look like the same shirt… maybe it’s just me but the before picture and after picture of the shirt look different. Maybe it’s parallax or call my blind but I actually think its 2 different shirts.. =?

  52. 52 eeteukluv December 19, 2007 at 8:44 am

    He probably got that shirt in L.A. and just thought it would be cool to where in Korea.

    I’m pretty sure it’s also backwards…. it also looks like a concert shirt…a la guns n roses

  53. 53 Come on. It's fake! December 19, 2007 at 8:46 am

    The shirt that Rain was wearing has not got boobs on. Check out the picture that Popseoul himself/herself published on 8th December under Pop Quiz: Who has the python arms. See for yourself.

    Go >>JACKIE, well said. and for christ sake GET OVER IT little kids. wearing a shirt wif boobs image isnt ”being disrecpectful” to women. women can wear low-cut top and how 1/2 of their assets yet no one complaining, but when a guy wear it out they start bashing

  64. 64 Annie December 19, 2007 at 9:39 am

    Pop seoul you really need to ban people who make dumb, rude and irrelavent comments. Seriously, you people who are posting stupid things like “women are whores” need to stop being stupid and grow the hell up.

    Too funny.

  73. 73 Dumpling December 19, 2007 at 10:56 am

    The shirt is real. You can PLAINLY see it from the video. Also, his english sucks, he acts goofy and his hair is awful.

    circling the drain … circling the drain ….

  75. 75 XiaoXi December 19, 2007 at 11:02 am

    Yeah, yeah breast are natural, so why not plaster them all over decorative objects? Hey! Defecating is natural, too–maybe we can see some live shots of Rain doing that. Or maybe some sex tapes–that’s natural, too, right? (And we might finally have the eternal “is he or isn’t he” question answered!) All VERY tasteful–if “natural==tasteful.” Give me a break.

    Rain made a big mis-step here and all I can think is that it was more important that he make a big display of his “interest” in women than in taking care not to offend a big contingent of his fans. Why would this be so important? Think of JYP and all of his “heterosexual” posing: they’re both working pretty hard to convince us they’re not gay, no? I’ve never seen straight men work so hard!

    Finally, mention of this shirt WAS made on Rain-USA and all hell broke loose. The Kool-aid drinkers are not ready to accept that their god is not perfect so they shot the messenger. It was all pretty darn amusing.

    Rain, you’re about one more mis-step away from being a very young has-been/never-was. Go serve your country, for goodness sake–do something useful, of which your mother could be proud.

    Geesh!

  76. 76 Come on. It's not fake! December 19, 2007 at 11:03 am

  79. 79 wow December 19, 2007 at 12:44 pm

    some people need to stop saying that “its just a shirt”, rain is a celeb and even if he wasnt, he should be aware that hes not the only person in the world, there are 5 year old kids walking down the streets other than himself, how do you think the parents of those kids would feel?

    but popseoul, i didnt see you making a big deal of this when big bang performed in shirts like that a million times on tv?

  80. 80 taylor December 19, 2007 at 1:39 pm

    Hey, that look kool, dont be hating on Rain, hes fine with a bod that is smoking hot.

  81. 81 oh-noes December 19, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    This wasn’t that offensive to ME but to others I know it is more so and Rain should respect that…but with that said It’s not a bid deal, it’s just boobs…how is that disrespectful to women? I don’t get it, makes me sad as being a women myself. It’s not sexualized so it’s fine.
    And maybe they should plaster boobs everywhere so people don’t sexualize them…ugh

  82. 82 HATEJJH December 19, 2007 at 2:12 pm

    woohoo!! I luvluvluvluv these Rain posts…always rofl entertaining with the clouds as funny ornaments!! christmas fun! Keep them coming popseoul! Thank you!

    Merry Christmass y’all!!

    taylor: not hating on rain is not possible. First he’s way too fugly to be this popular and his talent (singing and dancing and acting combined) dun warrent all his accolades of awards. and his current bod is only hot when he’s a kalua pig. YUM!!!

    what the hell? whoever photoshopped this pic is such an asshole. Here’s the picture of the same shirt and it has no boobs.

    dear lord, it’s a freaking shirt.
    I think it’s interesting.
    Fashion and expressing yourself can be tacky.
    I don’t understand why everyone wants to be like everyone else.

    TO some this shirt maybe kinda ugly, but he has every right to wear it. STOP censoring people.

    Gosh, you want everyone to just be proper and wear just white and black. GET real. All you haters are mental retarded. It’s shirt for golly sakes .

  86. 86 May December 19, 2007 at 2:36 pm

    it looks more like a picture of a jacket and then someone turned it into boobs. yeesh.

  87. 87 Min A December 19, 2007 at 2:37 pm

    the shirt is just…eh. but u can only see the shirt for like 3 seconds. but yeah, i would feel awkward wearing a shirt with boobs on it.

  88. 88 DUMBO December 19, 2007 at 3:06 pm

    can I get that shirt, but with Rain’s boobies on them?

  94. 94 tony December 19, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    some peoples just like to pick on him , not the t-shirt .
    i don’t think something wrong with him .

    little clouds are so delusional. wake up and smell the coffee. your idol is circling the drain fast.

  96. 96 Vision December 19, 2007 at 7:08 pm

    The shirt is real. Just look at the SBS clip! The fan who took the python arms pic erased the boobs before posting the image. Simple as that.

    So the Rain-USA peeps shot the messenger? No surprise there. It’s the “Yay Rain!” site.

  97. 97 Bewoulf December 19, 2007 at 8:27 pm

    Rain has too much water in his brains. If that booby shirt is not offensive, let’s see him wear the same shirt with the male equivalent body part and see how cool he looks. Idiot!

  98. 98 ChocolateCake December 19, 2007 at 8:28 pm

    Whatever. It’s just a dammed shirt with a picture. I hate his hair more.

  99. 99 Aya (Not logged in) December 19, 2007 at 8:30 pm

    And the boobs are saggy. If you are going to wear some boobs, let them be perky cute boobs, not saggy old boobs.

  100. 100 noodles December 19, 2007 at 9:01 pm

    It’s funny that people can accept paintings and sculptures of women with naked boobs as art in Art Galleries and artistic cities like Florence and Paris, and we don’t seem to mind our children visiting those places. Do they have entrance restriction on age, I wonder? I don’t think so.

    As such, it seems rather hypocritical and over the top to make such as huge fuss about the picture on Rain’s shirt. Unless… it is never about the shirt.

  101. 101 fraulein December 19, 2007 at 11:40 pm

    I watched the clip and Lust, Caution

    Tang Wei seems to speak english well (without that strong chinese accent) for a relative newbie. Better than zhang ziyi.

    And better than rain’s.

  102. 102 fraulein December 19, 2007 at 11:44 pm

    Has anyone noticed he has this uneasy, nervous laugh when he does not feel confident when spoken to in english? He did that when tang wei complimented him about his concert charisma. He could have said a “thank u ” if he hasnt learnt to return compliments yet.

    He also did it at a film awards ceremony in HK earlier this yr when presenting an award with maggie Q. There was thunderous applause for him and maggie said something to the effect of ” i am pretty sure that wasnt for me”

    Even as a fan, i feel he shld just drop his plans to break into the US
    The asian market is big enough, and he can still grow here.

  103. 103 fraulein December 19, 2007 at 11:50 pm

    i’m inclined to think JYP’s weird sense of dressing rubbed off on him

  105. 105 aquarious December 20, 2007 at 1:10 am

    I really don’t know how to defend him at the moment.
    But still love him… LOL.

    How about this???
    We do make silly choices sometimes in life… Rain just had one of those.
    maybe… maybe… he’s just starting to be rebellious… you know.. wanna show the world that he’s grown up.

  106. 106 Char December 20, 2007 at 1:58 am

    I was in shock when I noticed the nudity on Rain’s shirt. After all this was an important event, and thinking about him going through airports, going on the helicopter and finally going through the crowded hotel when he arrived in Macau wearing “THAT SHIRT” I almost fell out of bed laughing that night. I even thought at first the lady on the heliport pad with him might be a NUN and might see his back…well!!

    I guess it all depends on where people live and what their customs are about nudity how accepting they are about him wearing the shirt. The part of the country where I come from in the US the people seeing it would have my reaction..YUK!!

    Actually, because I could only see boobs and maybe hair and no face I also thought it was very sexist.

    —-

    the problem (at least IMHO) isn’t the nudity on his shirt itself. that particular image also depicts an electric guitar, thus, inferring to the old “sex, drugs and rock and roll” culture. his shirt wouldn’t have been so bad if it was an artiste’s rendering of a classic lounging nude, but the graphic that drizzle chose to wear infers to a lifestyle that many parents would not choose to expose their children to.

    but in the end, yes. he can wear what he wants to wear. it just goes to show what little taste and decision-making ability he has. good luck to j-tune, rainyentertainment or whatever other company he chooses to lay his hands on. jyp knows what he’s talking about … everyone who had high hopes for drizzle to succeed in the business world had better lower their expectations. the brain knows what he’s talking about when it comes to pinky.

  108. 108 spin December 20, 2007 at 3:40 am

    what a little homo.

    There’s a difference between art and commericialism. The T-shirt (and rain) both are commerical. They don’t have any artistic merit - its pure entertainment - shock value.

    The T-shirt is in pure, bad taste.

    Rain should grow up, maybe he should have been taking care of his mother a little better instead of having her work X amount of jobs while he slacked off, and in the process, weaned himself.

    AND PLEASE STOP ASSOCIATING RAIN WITH THE DANCING OGRE…THOSE DAYS ARE OVER ——-> O~V~E~R(!) GOT IT?!

    GO R~A~I~N!!!

  110. 110 Chantelle December 20, 2007 at 4:26 am

    It’s amazing too see how many people this is “affecting”. When I think disrespect to women I think being physically and verbally abusive. Wearing a T-shirt with boobs on it for some odd reason doesn’t make the list. *eye roll*

    Really, boobs are okay people. People are going into ape sh*t over such a small thing. I guess the women who find this offensive get seizures every time they change their clothes or take a shower.

    This is just another case of people looking for a reason to “hate on’ Rain.

  111. 111 candie December 20, 2007 at 4:52 am

    I have a few things to say:
    1) If you don’t like Rain’s bad English, you try speaking Korean! or any other language for that matter and see how hard you find it.
    2) If you think Rain sucks, you try being a pop star and see how hard that lifestyle is and what it takes to be on top.
    3) If the only thing you have to say is mean things about other people on Popseoul or in your sad life, I think you deserve to be said mean things about so that you know what it feels like. Oh well, at least we all know that you lead a sad life anyway.

    I don’t get why you are analyzing Rain as a person/celebrity from a mere shirt or from what his English is like.

  112. 112 soju December 20, 2007 at 5:20 am

    clouds are gathering to defend their idol. too funny. let’s all turn a blind eye to this deal because drizzle is GOD, and therefore is perfect.

    far from it.

    face it, he’s an immature, dopey, 25-year-old who has no clue.

  113. 113 yetaz December 20, 2007 at 5:58 am

    I knew “Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH ” would come back with her bullsh*t. Effing douchebag go suck your mother’s tits. I’d like to see another fling btwn you and Dumpling.

  114. 114 Whatever December 20, 2007 at 6:35 am

    Seriously, Chantelle, way to be completely inconsiderate of other people who might be seeing this. You don’t mind, ok, that’s great. Myself, I don’t really care either.

    Maybe if you took your head out of your ass for long enough, you’d realize that some people are brought up such that wearing something like that ISN’T appropriate, so people ARE going to feel offended. You can say all your want about the shirt, but don’t start knocking on the people simply because they disagree with your views.

    No one here is protesting over “boobage”, so get over yourself and self-inflicted “free-spirit” martyrdom. There is a difference, however, between nudity in art and public display of something that should be reserved for a PG-13 rating. You at least have a degree of control over museums, movies, whatever. But if someone was scooting around public in that shirt in front of my 6-year old sister, hell yes, I would be offended.

    Also, you’re equating disrespect to abuse — what a sad thing to do. I suppose any sort of disrespect, whether it be from a man to a woman, a student to a teacher, or a child to a parent, must now come in the form of either physical or verbal punishment? Or that an issue of a man viewing women as nothing more than expendable meat isn’t an issue of respect?

    @ Candie

    Your arguments are as dumb as the idol you adore so much. We don’t NEED to speak Korean. We are not trying to break into the Korean entertainment industry. Drizzle NEEDS to speak english because he is trying to break into the American entertainment industry. He’s doing a lousy job of english because of the way he chooses to speak it–like he’s some hip hop guy from Compton. Give me a break. He wants to sound hip and instead he just sounds stupid. And you…you sound like a child. Grow up!!

    “I have a few things to say:
    1) If you don’t like Rain’s bad English, you try speaking Korean! or any other language for that matter and see how hard you find it.”

    My friends speak English, Korean, Japanese, Tagalog. I’m learning Korean and have had informal Japanese lessons for a few years now. We don’t sound half as bad as Rain does.

    @candie
    “2) If you think Rain sucks, you try being a pop star and see how hard that lifestyle is and what it takes to be on top.”

    Wow, I didn’t know that you have to wear vulgar t-shirts to be “on top”. Excuse my ignorance to this fact of your’s. I guess people like George Clooney and Tom Hanks had better buy themselves t-shirts like the one Rain is wearing, or they won’t be considered to be top actors. Everyone knows they can’t act, anyway, right? So why not do things that generate attention to yourself instead?

    @candie
    “3) If the only thing you have to say is mean things about other people on Popseoul or in your sad life, I think you deserve to be said mean things about so that you know what it feels like. Oh well, at least we all know that you lead a sad life anyway.

    Well, see, candie, it’s not “just” the shirt that we’re judging him on. You have to take into consideration the failed US concerts, the fake smiles, the rudeness, the arrogance, the pity-me attitude, etc etc etc. Then you throw in the fact that he was a spokesman against human trafficking with an emphasis on children and women. And for him to turn around and wear a shirt like that. Now THAT’S what we’re judging him on.

    would it not be inappropriate??? as a female, i’m offended
    and all those peeps whose saying, its just boobs blah blah
    blah and its okay, I think those are the kind of peeps who think exposure of body parts are okay…

    this is the dumbest comment I have ever read.. ㅡㅡ;;
    lets see you flash your boobage on the street and see if it dont hurt you.. or let alone expose your boobage and see if your comfortable with it…

    1) If that is the dumbest comment you have read here, then you have ignored 90% of the comments on PS.
    2) This is simply a thread full of blind Rain hatred.
    3) I do understand why some are offended.
    4) We all have our opinions.
    5) Soon the Rain-fans and Rain-haters bandwagons are going to collide and the world will implode.

    @ Dumpling:
    I’m not saying you need to speak Korean or another language. All I’m saying is to have some empathy, which you clearly lack. Language learning should take place early in life for one to gain full reign of it. Rain’s attempt to break into the U.S. didn’t start when he was still a teenager. It was more or less recent. Sure he needs to learn to speak English, but it’s not that easy to learn a new language fast. And who cares if he chooses to sound like a hip hop guy. You sound mean in 99% of your comments and that’s not much of a feat for one who claims to be so intelligent.

  127. 127 candie December 20, 2007 at 12:31 pm

    I’m not saying the shirt isn’t vulgar. It is vulgar. But I think you people are reading way too much into it.

    A lot of Rain haters criticize him for wearing such shirts and how it would affect children. Well, there are children that visit this site and I think Rain haters should eat their words.

    wow another heated Rain topic.

    yeah the shirt is gross, but for some reason I’m not judging him for it. I’ve seen pictures where his attire is either hit or miss (and yep this is definitely a miss!)so I guess I’m completely immune to the bogus things he wears now.

    anyway…there’s my 2 cents on this topic. proceed with your Rain bashing.

  136. 136 rianti December 20, 2007 at 4:27 pm

    as a fans.. i really think he should start to takin his clothes, words or whatever carefully… people eye-ing him, whether you like him or hate him.
    but this is not makes me turn my back on him, i still supoport him.. who else will support him if we (fans) leave him…. dont care to what haters comment… its their prerogative.. live your life with your hatin on Rain…

    and how come people judge his english with only “im very gentle” words??
    as i know, he wont do something if he’s not confident enough, thats why i always think he’s not using “english” until now… maybe in the future he will surprise us with his fine english.. maybe… hehe..

    Okay, then I’ll just judge him based on his failed concerts, the rudeness, the arrogance, the pity-me attitude and the contradictory human trafficking spokesmanship. People already know him for all of the above and it’s not just speculation anymore.

    speak english without confidence because some meant peoples like to pick up or laught at them . those meant peoples don’t give them chance to improve . rain cannot like real student study all the time . he just has limit time to learn . second , they just pick on him , not the t-shirt .
    third , the people live with hate , i feel so sorry for them .
