Rain can’t handle false rumors

Rain_20080107_popseoul

The hardest time in Rain’s life was not when all of his US concerts were cancelled and fled to Berlin, but when rumors about his suicide spread like wild fire among the Chinese Netizens in April of 2006. It hit him hard when he first encountered the rumor but he learned to let it go as he started to pity those who started the rumor.

Actually Rain, it’s us who pity you because you still don’t seem to have a grasp of reality.

But if you still want to hear him brag about his past successes, workouts and English studies, check out Rain’s interview on OBS Kyungin TV on January 12th.

    Hmm.. Why would that stress him that much if it wasn’t true? I’d think he’s rumor with Lee Hyori would be more stressful, or his failed US concerts…

  2. 2 FTLove January 9, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    his rumor*

  3. 3 WillIRememberMe January 9, 2008 at 2:45 pm

    Yeah you here that RAIN??! you better get a GRIP on REALITY before we blog about you more harshly! Suffer our pity!

  4. 4 Jackie January 9, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    I don’t think he used as strong of words about that as you are reporting… Any excuse to criticize him even if it’s not true.

  5. 5 tony January 9, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    the writer twisted the meaning of what rain said from the original interview . she just wants to get some talking point and let people make more comments .

  6. 6 ohgeeze. January 9, 2008 at 3:14 pm

    I didn’t even hear about the rumor.
    About his suicide? Wtf?

    Anyways. I heard about that Hyori thing.
    Wtf x48374739574.
    Why would anyone ever say that they slept with Hyori.
    Way lame.

    Well,
    it seems like reporters just love to write about him even when he’s not in Korea.
    Damn, I honestly wouldn’t want to hear about him until he did something big and successful. Like when Speed Racer came out or something. I could wait till April or whenever it comes out to hear about him again.

    ^^ did you really read the article??
    it says “check out Rain’s interview on OBS Kyungin TV on January 12th.”
    the interview will just be aired on jan. 12, and articles about it are just promotions, so whether or not he really rain really said it, or the media twisted some things or obs itself so that the ratings will go higher who knows

  8. 8 calla January 9, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    Wow, several posts on Rain over the last few days. Popseoul, no other items of interest? I’m getting tired of Rain. Really.

  9. 9 varms January 9, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    Rain’s a good target for ppl bcoz he’s in the spotlight a lot… I still hope for the best for him! :)

  10. 10 min January 9, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    He’s becoming really famous just like Britney and Paris

  11. 11 ?? January 9, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    what’s up with all the rain bashing? i have a feeling that many of this bashing comes from the fact that he is like the BoA male equivalent in terms of status. if you don’t like him because of his singing or dancing then it’s fine. but to bash someone because of (might i hazard a guess)envy/spite is quite childish.

  12. 12 junsufan January 9, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    there was such rumor?? Popseoul wasn’t bashing rain..sheesh..it’s a good publicity for rain..cause to me he’s boring

  13. 13 jjhero January 9, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    such negativity to Rain…most of the post about him is negative…can you try to write a postive one…aish!! seriously getting tired of reading his bashing.

  14. 14 juanlucas January 9, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    he should really let go of the rumors and instead focus on learning how to speak english. when i saw his clear commercial, i distinctively heard him say “Im Waine”…geez and all this time i thought his name was rain:-)

  15. 15 rachel January 9, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    rain = <33333333333 i’m supporting you rain! :)

  16. 16 tony January 9, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    @juanlucas
    i watched the clear commercial many times and he
    said clearly ” i’m rain ” . if someone wants to
    pick on him then it doesn’t matter how he tried his best , you’ll find something to pick on him

    This post barely makes sense in English and is old news…

  18. 18 hwanheeholic January 9, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    i like rain and all,
    but seriously i don’t get why so many of you are complaining to popseoul regarding their bashing on rain or any other celebrities. it’s up to them who they want to write about, so complaining about it won’t change that fact. if you can’t handle their critism, then simply don’t visit here. -_-

  19. 19 choo January 9, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    I don’t get this post. Just because he was saddened or what, or as according to your post, it him hard, you’re saying he can’t handle false rumors? I’m guessing you just wanted him to say that he’s more saddened by the cancellation of his world tour or whathaveyou.

    It was April 2006, so there were already problems with the world tour. He may have thought that he people think he did that because of the problems with the WT. He might just have been concerned.

    And I have to agree to one post, it hasn’t aired yet. I know a lot of shows where the articles are not really true on the show. It’s all promotion. And I have seen that in many of Rain’s guestings.

  20. 20 wang January 9, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    rain is homo, there you go i started another baseless rumour. DEAL WITH THAT RAIN!!

  21. 21 d32z January 9, 2008 at 10:27 pm

    for a homo he sure lays down more girls in a week than you could in a lifetime

  22. 22 kky2k January 10, 2008 at 12:15 am

    Talk about taking things out of context; whatever.

  23. 23 rocketfuel January 10, 2008 at 12:20 am

    “it’s us who pity you because you still don’t seem to have a grasp of reality.”

    That’s funny coming from Popseoul. haha.

  24. 24 Raye January 10, 2008 at 12:51 am

    Actually this time I feel Popseoul wasn’t bashing Rain. But I never knew about this rumor though.

  25. 25 suju.dbsk January 10, 2008 at 1:01 am

    hm i dont get this article …but POPSEOUL please can you write some more postive articles and stop bashing artists

  26. 26 mrbittermelon January 10, 2008 at 1:04 am

    maybe he’s all upset that he sucks at english and his american debut is doomed to fail.

  27. 27 soju January 10, 2008 at 3:26 am

    i think popseoul would write more positive articles if there was anything positive about drizzle.

    people aren’t ‘picking on him’. he brings this stuff onto himself.

  28. 28 blinkable January 10, 2008 at 4:24 am

    where’s the suicide story that I missed?? ^^

  29. 29 eleven January 10, 2008 at 5:28 am

    … i dont see why people are pittying rain
    i honestly dont get it
    hes such a successful celebrity
    he has some bad moments but so did eveyrone else
    why is everyone picking only him to criticize and not any
    other celebrity
    yea it pisses me off because rain is a great singer and dancer
    please write something more encouraging to our favorite singers
    its frustrating to read something about bad about rain and only rain

  30. 30 aquarious January 10, 2008 at 10:59 am

    agree…

  31. 31 aquarious January 10, 2008 at 11:01 am

    What is sucide rumor anything to do with US debut???

  32. 32 aquarious January 10, 2008 at 11:01 am

    *suicide

  33. 33 exohex January 10, 2008 at 11:42 am

    let him be. he’s too much of a target for people to bash on. i mean, he’s not THAT much of a bad person.

  34. 34 jihae January 10, 2008 at 11:57 am

    i used to like rain when he used to have shorter hair. he looked more handsome.

  35. 35 roze15 January 10, 2008 at 12:55 pm

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLTCa-wEk_M&feature=related you might wanna check this out if you want to hear rain speaking english, i honestly think he has a gangster tone and more like an american accent than korean accent.. i think it’s really cute, well, i dont think he’s bad…

  36. 36 yeahyeahyeahyea January 10, 2008 at 1:31 pm

    yeah true what some users say on here
    this article doesn’t makes sense

  37. 37 taylor January 10, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Aww.. poor rain

  38. 38 elle January 10, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    @ roze15’s link: LOL!!! LMAO!!! HELL NAW!!! I REALLY hope his English has improved since then…That was like, 2006 though, so his English SHOULD be exceptional now (2 yrs later…>_>)

    But ne wayz, I never heard of the suicide rumor before…so if Rain really committed suicide, I’d just die from crying…lol and then think he was the lamest person in the world. *sigh* when will Rain shape up and return to his former glory? :(

  39. 39 elle January 10, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    BTW…he looks pretty ugly in the above pic…God, with all of the Rain posts so far, you think popseoul could have found at least ONE good picture of Rain…He’s been looking quite homely lately…

  40. 40 lol January 10, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    goddamn stinky chinese people

  41. 41 jjhero January 10, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    i do enjoy reading popseouls post…there is both bashing and news but lately i just feel like its more of korean entertainment bashing instead of korean entertainment news…

  42. 42 unusually.unusual January 10, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    k

  43. 43 Dovey January 10, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    I, for one, if famous, would be kind of worried too, if a bad false rumor spread about me and people actually believed it! I guess that shows how pathetic I would be, if I were rich and famous. XD It’s good to know he let it go, and pitied the person(s) who spread the rumor…

  44. 44 choo January 10, 2008 at 7:37 pm

    okay, my bad. I’ll correct myself. it was april 2006, so WT is has not yet started. Just goes to show how old news the world tour is. I even thought it happened 2006. Ha!

    And yeah, that’s not a flattering pic, but that’s taken from a video so there was movement involved. bad angle, i have to say.

    But again, I don’t get this post. And people ARE picking on him - and yes, he also brings this to himself. It’s just that whatever it is he’s bringing to himself-good or bad- haters would still pick on him.

  45. 45 lol January 11, 2008 at 6:23 am

    rocketfuel you should talk, your blog is terrible… LOL

  46. 46 DeerK January 11, 2008 at 6:24 am

    Rocketfuel likes to talk $hit about other blogs when his is one of the crappiest, hardly a soul even knows about it.

  47. 47 aquarious January 11, 2008 at 7:29 am

    Did he talk about suiside rumor in that interview???

  48. 48 rocketfuel January 11, 2008 at 7:34 am

    lol & deerk,

    I am to fail! ;) My blog does suck, however, that doesn’t mean I can’t talk $hit about other blogs.

  49. 49 polynasian January 11, 2008 at 9:47 am

    OK move on Rain. Basically, in truth you once thought of suicide. It is OK I think some people have thought about it to. No big deal now move on and improve your English!

  50. 50 aquarious January 11, 2008 at 10:39 am

    He didn’t think about committing suicide.
    That was just a rumor. *sigh*

    Read again, please. Dear.

  51. 51 Kitsune January 11, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    SUICIDE?

    ppfffff
    people don´t know what more to said about him!

  52. 52 d January 11, 2008 at 6:43 pm

    Because Koreans don’t have anything “news”worthy to talk about anyway…So why not talk about how much they suck? LOL

  56. 56 snowmatsu April 4, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    There’re many negative news about him, it was becoz Rain is the spotlight and his actual personality is nice that’s why i think media like make it up some bad rumor. Sometime people tend to love bad boy than nice one.
    But i do love Rain <3 And he’s nice, i love his smile
