I think Rain did a smart thing. I would have gone crazy if Rain had sung, like absolutely bonkers but he let china have their time. He did more for them then you guys realize. With China’s mounds of bad press for furs, food, territory and abortion it’s a BIG deal that China got the chance for the Olympics. For an original chinese singer to sing at the Olympics rather than a Korean (no matter how awesome he is)fills people with a sense of pride that this person, our very own is being seen by the world. It’s the same feeling I got with Luciano Pavoratti sang at the winter olympics.

P.S. I am disgusted at the fact that some of you people are trying to pick fights about the Olypmics. Have some tact. For goodness sake, have some honor.

Hows everyone ?its year 2008.A year that something good , going to happened to everyone.
Let us all forget those ugliest things happened from last year 2007.Let’s make it a better year and fruitful year for everyone, this year 2008.
We can express our sympathy,and anger or hatred in a nice way but lets evade to fight, for those nonsense issues.
Tell you the truth,I always love Rain unconditionally,whatever negative write ups about him,his always be my Rain.Thats how I admired him.
Yeah!that’s it,that was a right decision for him not to sing for Olympics.It should be chinese singer belongs to their own land…I know there’s more good chances for Rain’s career to come, sooner or later.Much better for him Rain,to be very careful in takng the oportunities,so that less mistakes in his career..

[...] Several online newspapers (mostly Korean) are reporting that Korean pop singer Rain will sing the theme song at the Beijing Olympics. Some blogs are reporting that Rain actually turned down the offer to sing at the Olympics. [...]

now i understand why you refused to hear or find
the fact of the whole issue because you have
nowhere to express you anger and he is the only one target to release your anger .
if you will wake up one day then you’ll feel
sorry about yourself , trust me .

i really don’t care to hear your rain-usa-planted rant about the events on that night of the cancelled la concert. i’ve heard it all before. numerous times. and everytime, it’s the same blah blah blah. drizzle is sooooo sad. drizzle cried because he couldn’t perform. none of that was drizzle’s fault ….

maybe one day you will wake up from your dream and realize what a poser he is. it’ll come one day. trust me.

@ soju
rain already apology in the fan meeting . he said he felt so sorry to all his fans .
if you think this disrepected you because he spoke his home language to apology then that’s
why you always think he disrepected his fans .
what’s the meaning of ” he made escape ”
you’re 1 of audience in the concert and you felt
so sad , angry and disappointed that night. how did rain feel ? he had the worst feeling thousand times than us . you wanted him singing and laughting that night or you wanted him having fun with you the whole night during the fan meeting . the purpose of him coming to the fan meeting is apology to all his fans from all countries ( incude usa ) . he’s human being
and he also has right to expose his emotion .
jyp sold all the right of us concert to revolution after he knew rain is not under his
co. anymore . rain was not the one who organize
the whole issue , he just a product sold by the
original owner . jyp not even gave him a hand when things happened . the local promoter promised to hire a very professional team and must have enough time to set up the stage before
the concert . first their measurement was wrong
from cm to inch . second they should know the
safety regualtion in LA because they are professionl team for setting up stage in la . do you rain should go to fire dept. by himself and check the regulations ?
anyway rain also paid for that , at least he lost a fan like you .

‘if you try to understand his
situtation then you won’t keep saying why he’s
not apology in english .’

—
so why don’t you school me on his situation? i didn’t realize that an apology is dependent on someone’s situation. do you need everything in your life to be at 100% to say ‘i’m sorry’? wow ….

but on everything else ….

yes, you are right, tony. i should really just forgive him because he’s an innocent victim of all these crazy people who are out to get him, huh? i feel so ashamed of myself for doubting him. i forgive him for brushing off his fans on the street. and i forgive him for cancelling the honolulu concert a few days before the event. and i also forgive him for cancelling the la concert just 90 minutes prior to showtime. he was in la for a solid two weeks before the concert date and didn’t realize that his production crew couldn’t possibly set up his stage within the short time allotted to them. and they tried to blame everyone else for that snafu when the stage wasn’t up to code. yes, i forgive him.

maybe in la-la land, but not in reality.

@soju
i knew you were cloud before that’s why i feel
shame on you . you don’t have to support him
anymore but you don’t have to make so harsh
comments and laugh at him . once again , don’t
be too cruel to the one you love before !
if you really try to understand the whole issue of the cancellation of concert then you won’t that angry . if you try to understand his
situtation then you won’t keep saying why he’s
not apology in english . he apology in korean , it doesn’t mean only for his korean fans because
koerean is his first language . do we have to think we all angry because he sang all the songs in korean and he sang only for his koreans fans ? he said so many times in different interview after la concert ” he felt
so sad and hurt because he really care about his fans . thank you so much for the fans still
support him all over the world .”
you don’t have find so many reasons to hate him
the only reason to hate is money .
