I was proud of Pinky when he announced that he’ll not sing for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but it turns out that he wasn’t even asked by the Beijing Olympics Committee. Rain might have been asked by one of the agencies preparing for other minor songs for the Olympics, but even that can’t be confirmed.
But the fact that Rain announced that he’ll not sing, when he was not even asked shows you what kind of person he is. So the 2007 POPSEOUL!’s Fool continues to be the laughing stock in 2008. Anybody surprised?
Pop in:
Rain will not sing for the 2008 Olympics
Will Rain be the voice of 2008 Beijing Olympics?
Top 7 POPSEOUL! Fools and Tools
omg. come on. this dude, that is embarrassing for him!! don’t pretend man. now im wondering if there’s anything else that he’s hiding.
oh… first to comment.. haha i always wanted to do do that ^^”… oh man…. hmm not good
omg… nvm… hmm oh well.. hahahaah ^^”
man oh man… what a retarded way to start a year, lying about the Olympics. hopefully things will look up for him though i doubt that unless he starts using his smarts
ummm…dude, he probably wasn’t lying. He probably got misinformed. Man, that’s kind of mean.
ouch. that hurt just reading it. eek.
The title of this post is already negative without reading the rest of it.
I dont mean this in an antagonistic or negative way maybe Popseoul should stop blogging about Rain for a while.
Just my suggestion /two cents worth ; )
Popseoul, you need to get the fact straight!!
do not mislead people any more!!
I can’t stand your vicious posts any more..
where did you get the sorce?? NEWSIS??
NEWSIS is one of the most vicious yellow papers in Korea..
NEWSIS has been producing rumors and stories which is so not true.. they have been sued by so many celebrities..
and people in Korea do not trust NEWSIS at all..
it is considered one of the biggest trash paper in korea..
But i’ve noticed that you’ve been writing posts based on those yellow papers like NEWSIS..
I don’t care what your opinion is..
this is your blog.. and people have different opinion..
but you’re misleading people based on trash paper..
that’s not right..
oh no rainy… i feel ashamed, though i shouldn’t be the one… get yourself together love, cuz that calls for a quarantine..
It’s okey popseoul but look at this:
Forbes.com : 20 Trends Sweeping The Globe
Groove To Korean Pop
Korean pop music has made waves across Asia for years, with homegrown stars selling out shows from Kyoto to Kuala Lumpur. But the scene, rife with over-produced starlets and goody-two-shoes boy bands, has been a little saccharine for Western tastes. That’s changing, with indie bands finally catching a break and hip-hoppers like Eun Ji Won toying with with Latin fusion for a truly original sound. K-pop star and actor Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) will make his Hollywood debut this year, with a role in Speed Racer, directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski, creators of The Matrix.

Well even though he’s not on the list but he was still menthioned in the article.
Hey popseoul, I think your blogs are interesting
Could you please also quote the sources of your news? sometimes I would be happy to read the news myself since you tend to launch into your own opinions very soon in the writing. thanks!
Aw, that’s not fair. A rumor got started and Rain squashed it.
Do you have any evidence he started the rumor (not that I would be totally surprised if he had)? If not, I’m not willing to beat him up over this.
Let’s go back to kicking JYP…
that’s pretty embarassing for him T__T
popseoul..
You must not distort the facts in order to make your blog more clickable. this is not fun at all..
you know what you’re doing now??
you’re making this guy just a joke internationally..
shame on you, popseoul..
and do not erase my reply!
ngyawrhh! rabid fangirls A-T-T-A-C-K! roflmao!
Oh poor Rain! I think he was not lying. He wouldn’t say out of nowhere that he was offered to sing in the Olympics in the first place if it could lead to such outcome. That’s just dumb, and people are dumb to believe everything they read. Besides people are soo good to judge. He’s having a hard time with his American debut, and others add more oil with their negativity. I’m not Rain’s fan but I think people should support him more instead of laughing at him. I remember those negative posts about Se7en last year, it’s just so not right…
I totally agree with u “popseoul! do not mislead people!”
I’m very sure this is not the case
By writing oh so many negative n sarcastic post about this guy, u r making many people around the globe to hate this guy for no reason like u do.
Would u pliss spare the poor guy……
I understand that this is ur blog, so u write ur posts based on your own opinion. But please don’t mislead people, don’t make people misunderstand.
It’s Ok if u express ur opinion, but please give us the link to the source where u got this trashy news.
This way we can judge the poor guy by our own opinion.
Please remember popseoul, people come to ur blog to read the latest news on Kentertainment. They need reliable news n not such trashy news.
You always say bad things about anti fans. Do u know that by writing such posts u r gathering more anti fans of Rain?
i dun care if they asked him or not…i’m just relieved he’s not singing
Oookayyy. If what popseoul says is true, he’s seriously DUMB. The Beijing Olympic Committee ain’t that stupid afterall..
Oh my, i just had a good laugh
HA! I’m sure he was just misinformed somehow or something. (I’m a huge fan, bite me. xD)
But that picture is so incredibly appropriate..I LOLed srsly.
Popseoul, I think you are pushing this too much, to the point it’s sickening. I don’t particularly care for Rain but this seemed a bit much. What gives?
When are you people going to start taking this shiz with a grain of salt?
I mean..in case you haven’t noticed, this is a gossip and news blog. Its not meant to be taken as seriously as some of you are taking it.

@popseoul!do not mislead people
i’m so agree with you . the last post of rain
“rain will not sing the olympic song ” is not
true either . rain never announced he will not
sing the olympic song or he was invited by the
olympic committee . the writer likes to make up stories and let people think the news is true .
that will ruin rain’s reputation .
He’s a FRAUD. No newsflash there.
Did Speedracer even come out yet? I have heard NOTHING WHATSOEVER about this movie around here and I live in the States.
even if Popseoul is making fun of this boy a bit too much…still
not that I’m any brighter than Rain (at least I didnt go about being a world star LOL), but if a ridiculous rumor spread as such that I’m going to Mars to plant a Korean flag though I’m not Korean, I’ll flat out say it’s a rumor, I was not even considered and wont be like saying I’m ‘declining’ the offer. The way he put info across made it sound like the Beijing Olympic board has some insane morons working there, and stepping on their toes in any tiny way is just plain dumb. By NOT dealing with rumors right, floodgates are opened for all to take stabs at him. So he brought this all to himself, but cloudies will dream on of coz.
As unbiased I wanna be, rain is still SUPER dumb coming out of it. I dun think he’s able to be all scheme-y and plan it all as a publicity stunt. I truly believe he didnt intend to do anything wrong. But he’s just plain stupid.
Seems like this is another case of his “people” not telling him anything again.
Seriously, he needs to go back to JYP…
I support POPSEOUL posts.
As Brina stated it’s entertainment/gossip. Those of who that accuse POPSEOUL for being misleading are just as bad, because you all don’t provide any proof to support your claim.
Another horn tooting from the “World Star”:
Super singer and actor Korean RAIN has confirmed about second Hollywood movie. He has revealed the next movie maybe a Hollywood movie. Rain’s agency has revealed, finally RAIN has decides to attend another Hollywood movie. Now he is discussing the contract with the movie producer in order to achieve consent.
RAIN’ agency also said, when RAIN was shooting Hollywood movie, he was received a lot of invitations of shooting another movies and dramas. After thinking carefully, RAIN has decided to play the main character on an action movie. This movie would not be lack of interest compare to , a famous director Hollywood will invited in this film .RAIN will play the male leader actor and the first time he plays the male leader actor in Hollywood movie.
RAIN reveals the next movie:”last year, when I was shooting Speed racer, I met producer of this new movie. Because of process signing final contract, I can’t disclose a lot of information about the movie to you. Hope everyone would be patient and waiting.

Let´s wait if this comes true!!! Or will this be the next laughing part?
if i were bi, i shouldnt embarrassed . it’s just rumour
I don’t like popseoul anymore, and I’m not even sorry
And that’s not because I lurrve Rain because I find nothing special about him. This is just getting boring.
Bwahahahhaha~
That dude has some issues X’D
what the hell.
Popseoul, u SUCK! BIG TIME!!!
His Hollywood acting career will go to sh*it just like his USA singing career. He’s a failure because he has the utmost AUDACITY to live his life as if fame, fortune and recognition are owed to him on the simple basis that he WANTS it. It’s the attitude of a very spoiled and immature child. “Give it to me now; I want it.”
His “singing” debut in USA was a joke and now he will choose absurd, embarassing movies that even half-rate American actors wouldn’t want to be in, and he’ll be a joke in Hollywood, too.
Hope Stephen Colbert makes another video about him!!
@Taebin
^5. He’s been horn tooting since he left JYP. When will he actually deliver anything? His report card is zero.
Rain, such news ain’t gonna keep your fans. Out of sight, out of mind.
@tanyathao
popseoul’s disclaimer basically allows them to published anything, it is a caveat-”enter at your own peril”.
What’s up with people bashing Popseoul?
Relax people, its not like Popseoul = #1 blog or most visited Korean-related blog.
And this is blog people, so what ever goes up, its bias since they are inputting their opinion.
dont get upset, POPSEOUL just want to stir up some pple naiveness. that’s the whole point of PopSeoul writting style. It’s funny and entertaining to pple reading it and see the respond. Whatever Popseoul wrote abt anything doesnt impact/affect the reality. so relax!!!
i noticed that Popseoul like to create chaos among fans. If u want to be sarcastic or critical in what u write, do it with decency and not degrading yourself as a writer. have some class not trashy commences. That’s what human called “Low”
hahaha…is dis true?
i would laugh my head off if it’s reali true…
anyway,i’m beginning 2 luv POPSEOUL’s post…
although u criticizes my idols,u r de onli website dat i found 2 b not afraid of those freaking DBSK’s fans n SuJu fans(Elves)…sum of ur words may seems a bit harsh but it’s quite funny n entertaining…
to de ppl who scold POPSEOUL 4 bein misleading,
nobody asks u 2 believe all dis posts…
u can choose either 2 believe it or 2 jz read it 4 fun…
it’s up 2 u…nobody forced u 2 visit dis website…
@Dumpling
Speed Racer was on a few times on Entertainment Tonight last time. Check your facts before blabbing. You’ll look less of a fool.
“to live his life as if fame, fortune and recognition are owed to him on the simple basis that he WANTS it.”
That sounds like every movie star here in the US.
Excuse me last month I meant.
Embarrassing, either way.
^most annoying post ever.
well this makes sense, i mean come on why would the chinese want a korean to sing at the olympics??
it’s just unfortunate that Rain is Popseoul’s favorite.
Oh no..that’s kind of embarassing if it’s true..i hope he’s just misinformed or something..come to think of it, i’m sure he’s not lying, he’s got tons of assistants or PRs who would seek for the validity of the request before he faced the press announcing such a thing…
btw..somebody please wipe out the messages above..really annoying!
Nina..please get a grip of yourself!
I agree with crystal199187!
I’m a mega fan of DBSK and SNSD, fan of SUJU, (but certainly not Rain, have never gotten into the whole RAIN-IS-AWESOME hype. ) I used to be pissed off easily but i guess..it’s really nice now. haha XD Seriously, some cassies and ELF are too much..sigh..fangirls.. It’s fun sometimes to talk trash about ur idols..make fun of them..gah..LOL..
lol
How embarrasing.
awww… poor rain… still love him though…
rain is nothing without JYP
and I told my mom about rain singing for the 2008
Olympic and my mom said that there is NO way that someone other than a chinese singer will sing
Is that really fair? I mean, I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of Rain, but I don’t hate him. My opinion (without being biased) is that he just told everyone he wasn’t singing, not necessarily that he was asked. If he actually came out and LIED and said that he WAS asked, then shame on him. Otherwise, this is misleading.
i agree with lyn

ummm…dude, he probably wasn’t lying. He probably got misinformed. Man, that’s kind of mean.
popseoul.com is very genuine you have earned my respect
I say crystal199187!, learn English.
i dont believe rain started the rumor he seems to be a very humble person
why would he lie if the truth would be found out eventually
he isnt stupid
It makes a whole lot more sense for China to offer supplementary songs for the olympics to other popular singers. Maybe the original offer got lost in the translation, I don’t think Rain is a complete ‘Pinky’. He just need to surround himself with more capable assistants, publicists and managers. It must be pretty lame for Rain, although I’m wary about the way PS put a spin on things, but it’s worth a laugh nonetheless ;D
Dang, how come everyone bashing POPSEOUL? The people can post whatever they want on this blog. I read other blogs that have Korean news on them and some of them have their own biased opinions. Don’t get angry eventually someone is always going to make fun of your superstar so get over it.
Who cares Rain is always going to have a story out whether we like it or not.
Rain is so dumb. Misinformed my butt! You know whether someone asked you to do something or not and where they came from/what committee they were apart of. If it was to squash a rumor, he should’ve said so, but he didn’t.
He’s an idiot.

January 12, 2008 at 5:47 pm
the writer likes to make up stories and let people think the news is true .
that will ruin rain’s reputation
—
i don’t think that popseoul is responsible for ruining drizzle’s reputation. he does that just fine on his own.
idk if this is true or not…it just made me LMAO so hard!
+ the picture as well..
This is funny if it’s true. I would laugh, not so much feeling sorry for him, I would totally laugh.
For God sake! He never said he was offered to sing there.
He even said he’ll feel very honour… IF… he’s offered to sing there. (official explaination from his company to clear that rumor)…
You guys are so gullible. LOL.
^ Aquarious, u and the cloudies ar the ones that r gullible LOL
Just the thought of Rain even dare to have the thought he’ll be offered to sing the song has shown me how dumb he is, how big a head he has, how he is incapable of thinking st. or know apples fr oranges.
Again, he should flat out deny it, instead of vaguely saying sth like ‘he’ll feel very honored IF he’s offered to sing.’ ROFL!!
So he HOPED to sing it, but later DECLINE it?! sth’s very fishy.
Sigh, poor guy. He should clean up a little though. He looks a bit pathetic like this… unless that’s what he is aiming for.
Laughing stock? yes
Still making more money than your sorry ass? Yes
antifans
just enjoy this
another fag korean… lol that’s why america doesn’t like him! lol I’m glad popseoul realizes that
HA I knew it~ sooo knew it.
Pinky pinky pinky, get back with JYP already. >.>’
Don’t talk sh*t about my boy Rain. He shouldn’t have left JYP though. AND JYP himself belongs behind a desk.
@ Mix
I don’t watch “Entertainment Tonight”. It’s a fluff show and NOT a show that promotes serious films or even serious entertainment. Even though you thought you were being a real wise ass, you actually proved my point.
Also, with regard to “every movie star here in the US”…they are already in the US–Drizzle is not–that’s my point.
Boy, you’re not really on top of it, are you?
True or not the news are all over the internet and this will do him some damages esp in Chinese region…..
It’s highly unlikely that China would ask a korean singer to sing at the Olympics esp he not that popular in China anymore….anyone with common sense should know it…..i wonder why the media are so stupid writing all this false rumour and they should be ashame for bringing all this embarassing for themself.
HATEJJH…
You made me laugh. LOL.
If you hate him or don’t like him that much,
why don’t you just ignore him?
There are many other posts at Popseoul that you can post your comments. Why would you waste your time for someone you consider dumb, useless and big headed?
Anyway, I won’t stop you if you want to post so bad at Rain’s topic….. passion is pretty much there whether love or hate. LOL. very funny.
LOL
hi there!!! i keep on wondering why are you people keep on bugging rain? im not a fan of him or whatever….it’s just that everytime i read ur comment about him, i wonder why?…just curious!!! lol
wildbean and junsufan - I agree. LOL..It is funny, but poor Rain…I am sure not just Rain but many other entertainers has or have encounter problems such as rumors, paparazzi, assumption, speculations all the time good and bad. It is part of the entertainment industry. I think it is normal..true or not we might or might not ever know. It is up to us how we perceive it to be.
@ Joli
” My opinion (without being biased) is that he just told everyone he wasn’t singing, not necessarily that he was asked. If he actually came out and LIED and said that he WAS asked, then shame on him. Otherwise, this is misleading ”
Well said . As a fan, I’ll be happy if he debuts successfully, if not life goes on for us fans and him. He has enough wealth to last him a long long time.
I dun see a need to bash each other here, it’s only entertainment news : )
Hope i sound rational and not like one of the rabid sometimes blind, fan girls.
Awww, poor Rain. I’m not laughing…
I kinda feel sorry for the dude, and I don’t love/hate him.
I don’t know…I feel like there’s something coming for him, and I surely hope it’s not a Britney-like downfall.
yeah. that’s all.
I was wondering why they asked a Korean guy to sing for the BEIJING Olympics…
O_O…
no racist thing going on there, but i thought they would’ve asked someone Chinese
Isn’t it possible that he was just replying to all the rapid fans who were posting things on the internet saying he should sing the song? And that he was simply telling them that he wouldn’t, not answering some ‘unmentioned’ proposal from the Olympic Committee to sing.
Aquarious,
I’m as much a passionate fan of the Chinese Beijing Olympic committee as u r a fluffy cloud. I’m defending their sanity that’s why! gogogo Beijing 2008!!!!
And for the records, my dearest Olympic committee didnt ask pinky to sing any Olympics song. He may not understand or be able to pronounce the word ‘Olympics’ right, why bother?!
GOOD LUCK in you trying to pull your idol out of the hole he digs though!
when someone is just sooo outrageous dumb and messing with my Olympics committee, I cant ignore. I can only laugh!! Ao on the ignore and not post part…nah, I’m not that crazy to take the advice of a cloudie..ROFL!!!
dun overestimate your pinky’s power, I’m poopooing and have time to waste that’s y I’m posting here . pinky and cloudies always suit the mood! LOL
Why the negativity towards Rain, Popseoul?
I think it was the media that blew things out of proportion. Give Rain a break.
^^I have to agree on the post posted above. That statement may have just been an “answer” to what may become another huge internet topic. And of course, it will involve “arguments”.
So, what his company did was a good step, wasn’t it? No further discussions followed. Except, of course, here, where everything that Rain do or even how he feels (that post about him and the suicide rumor)is being made into a big deal.
Speed Racer is not creating any hype now because the producers may be keeping “mum” about the movie. Simple as that! There are a lot of very good and high-budgeted films that will come out the same time as Speed Racer (Summer movies), so maybe the producers are thinking of the best ways to promote the movie. I just wish sometimes haters would also think.
^ I was agreeing on Faa, btw. There are already two posts between ours.
Media always distort facts and so does blogs…like this.
I love PS’s blog and all but the bashing and making a big deal about something that shouldn’t be is not all cute. Hahaha. But then, sometimes PS IS REALLY IS NEED OF WEB HITS, so they go make a post that’s all based on the writer’s opinion.
Why would he reply to his rabid fans? It’s not like he has ever bothered or cared about them. He was gallivanting every weekend in Berlin and he could not even spare 5 minutes for a message to his Clouds.
Cloud always be with Rain? Why would Cloud be around when Rain has disappeared?
From the articles that I read, what his company revealed is only to stop rumors and maybe further bashing from those who are against the fact that a non-Chinese will sing, whether the main song or not, in the Olympic Games.
People were already having heated discussions about it on the net and people are calling him names and what have you. And so, just to stop the discussions, his company said that statement, which I don’t see anything wrong.
Better than the truth than false facts, right?

Wow. You’re talking as if Rain has not attended school at all. He may have been stupid on his decisions about his career, but the way you just bashed one person is too much.
So, you’re part of the committee? Are you one of those who makes the decisions on the entertainment part? Don’t talk as if you’re oh so great.
i just hope with what is happening to Rain’s career, he will not resort to what many celebrities did in the past when their career is in a sinking ship…”suicide”
@ kai
For your info - his staff posted the pictures. He did not post messages when he was in Berlin. His staff wrote a message.
You do your research.
HATEJJH…
RUDE!
@amused, he did a video message..
now you do your research! ^^
Actually, I still don’t understand all the hatred behind Rain. As I see it, he really hasn’t done anything completely wrong to the point where he’s ruined his career. Sure, he’s made a few mistakes here and there, but what human being doesn’t? I feel like this is an OK! Magazine article covering Britney Spears (okay, not exactly - I know Rain isn’t crazy, but it seems like the blog was just posted for the heck of it and to trigger some anger or whatnot).
I think he deserves a break - I think most of us don’t even know the whole story here, so we can’t exactly jump to conclusions. Either there was a rumor being started on the internet and he happened to see it, so he was giving an “answer” to them. Maybe he did so to make sure things wouldn’t get out of control of whatever. No one knows what really happened, so why can’t we all leave him alone?
to junsufan,
thanz 4 agreeing wit me…i’m not a fan of rain either…keke
to BKJSuh,
wat do u mean by ‘learn English’?
did i write anything wrong in my reply or i wrote too much short forms or i offended u?
care to explain?
i am not a fan of Rain nor a anti of him. i am just surprised to see what is happening to him based from my readings in this blog. all along i thought he was really being successful. being one of the Most Influential Persons in Time Magazine and i thought his concert in the US was a success as i heard from a friend.
there will always be antis for every celebrities. but the most that are getting the attention are the ones who are popular for the wrong moves that they are doing. say Britney, Lindsay, Paris…now in Asia we seems to have Rain.
as what Jennifer Lopez once said, publicity is still a publicity whether it is good or bad. which is true. good or bad, a celebrity is still taking up some space in that magazine, or in the internet. good or bad, the celeb is becoming a household name…so for RAIN, good or bad
write-up it still helps boost his fame. if a celeb is left alone, then most likely his/her fame will go nowhere but down.
Hey guys, just laugh about it, okay?
If you don’t like the way Popseoul is bashing Rain, whatsoever, just leave and don’t read anymore. No one’s stopping you. It’s a free country, uhm, web.
Although Popseoul, you really do need to proofread your stuff. The Land of the Rising Sun is Japan, get it?
this is so absurd. I don’t know which one is true..
[Maybe] he heard that some people wanted to make him sing for the Olympics, but just wanted to announce to all those fans who were expecting him to sing that he was not going to sing.
lol
lol
“i thought his concert in the US was a success as i heard from a friend.”
Apparently you you did not read about the North America World Tour fiasco. Concerts were cancelled in Toronto, LA, Honolulu, etc. Some people still haven’t received their money back from the local promoters.
ever thought that at some news conference, people asked him if he was going to sing for the Olympic and his answer is simply he will not because he didn’t get asked? Way to jump to conclusion Popnosoul
Ok skipped all the comments..hey 105 and you wana me to read all??
Anyway, this sounds weird already. Not being asked in the first place?? Poor fella….
Cyan,
why did they cancel his concerts in North America? what happened along the way?
@cattleya: Well there’s a lack of promotion of the concert in Toronto , so they cancelled the concert (though the press says it’s due to firework safety issues )
In Honolulu, it was cancelled b/c of some legal issue about the use of his name, “Rain.” Another band in the U.S. sued him because copyright issues or w/e, but the judge threw out the case since the prosecutors didn’t have any evidence. Some timing, huh?
In L.A., the concert was canceled an hour before the concert started due to safety reasons (there was a game that used the same stadium the day before, so it had to deal with set up), of course Rain was uninformed until the last minute.
People have been blaming Rain, Star M (who sponsered the world tour), and the local promoters. It has been all over the news, which gives Rain a HUGE negative impression on his reputation. Some people have flown from Eastern Hemisphere to see Rain perform in the States wasting thousands of dollars (tickets, airfare, etc.) to find out the concert(s) have been canceled. And some of those fans have gotten back their money they wasted on Rain.

so .. you REALLY think that bad publicity is as good as good publicity? i think not. there IS a difference between, say … will smith and britney spears. it’s one thing to be popular for positive images, and quite another for being a laughing stock and a fool.
Dovey, it is funny because some people are taking it way too serious…like they about to kill each other…hehe. PEACE!
i honestly think you are such a hater.
GIVE THE CELEBRITIES A BREAK!
@Dumpling.
I’ve seen Speed Racer trailer on Channel V (the Tickets). And it does promote serious films or entertainment. So I guess the movie will be released this year.

In L.A., the concert was canceled an hour before the concert started due to safety reasons (there was a game that used the same stadium the day before, so it had to deal with set up), of course Rain was uninformed until the last minute.
—
drizzle was in la for 2 weeks prior to the concert and he didn’t know there was a basketball game at the staples center the night before? i find that hard to believe.
i think i speak for many people when i say:
popseoul sucks
popseoul hates rain, basically.
look at the title of this article!!
perhaps they should do some balanced reporting.
i wonder if the people who write these articles are korean. they seem to love bashing their own celebrities.
lol. boo rain boo!
heck? i merely see this as Rain trying to squash false rumours created by some. did he make any statement regarding this before?
INFO: RAIN HAVE A 1 YEAR CONTRACT WITH SAMSUNG ANYCALL AND SING AN OLYMPIC THEME SONG FOR ANYCALL…
SO, PEOPLE GOT MISLEAD ABOUT THIS RUMORS, MEDIA JUST JUMP A CONCLUSION AND SO DO POPSEOUL…
IF RAIN WILL SING IN ANYCALL.. WHERE IS ANYBAND??? hahahha..
Didn’t it was clarified that a Chinese agency asked him to record a “candidate song” that will be submitted for consideration by the Olympic committee.
Not sure why Rain was always pulled in to all these confusing/false rumors.
If Rain is so bad, Samsung would not sign him up for a 1 year endorsement at 2008 Beijing Olympics. Popseoul, give the man some credit!!!!!
actually, it’s not rain who looks dumb. it’s popseoul who looks dumb for reporting something that didn’t actually happen.
but it looks like china may force rain to come before the olympics

@soju
of course it doesn’t matter the news is true or
not for you , anyway you cannot find the fact because your eyes was covered and cannot see anything .
i wouldn’t talk if i were you, tony. you clouds are the ones who are blind to anything even remotely negative that drizzle does. but like i said, there will come a day when you won’t be able to look the other way anymore. it’ll come. wait and see.
Well, haters will always find a way to hate… no matter what Rain does.
That’s who they are. Haters! *shrug*
better than being a blind sheep. *shrug*
all these rumours have just been rumours.
jtunes specifically cleared up the rumours when they said rain was only asked to record a candidate song.
it’s not his fault, and definately not a lack of intelligence on his part that things seemed to have gotten out of hand. misinformation really does go aroudn on the interent so quickly..
At least blind fans are more resonable to do so than blind haters… *shrug*
@soju
i’ll stay calm and find the fact of everything .
you refuse to know the truth and just look for someone be your target to release your anger .
@ sunshine…. yah, it’s true, really unfair for rain being a laughing stock. I’m an avid fan of rain and it makes me feel bad hearing rumors like this.
He probably had to say he won’t sing it because of the suckers who actually started the rumors and believed in them…like celebrity blogs.
This is so vicious, please be more fair. I like to come to your blog to see the pictures but these vicious comments don’t do you credit.
Dang, we gotta lotz of Bi Rain Haterz out there
Dont be jealous cause hes hot, and you arent
Who is his management now?
@OldSchooling
J.Tune.. he has established his own comapny..
gosh leave that guy alone he made it clear he will not sing whatsoever
he probably said that he wasn’t going to sing because he wasn’t invited to sing in the first place. People are just probably misunderstanding him. its not like he said he was going to sing and then turned around and changed his mind and decided not to sing. maybe he knew he wasn’t going to be invited. or mayybe he was the one who turned then down. we don’t know the whole story.
stop with the “crab-mentality” you people! we humans do make mistakes. push people up if they’re down. it’s a nice feeling. try it ones in your life.
wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
CAN ANYONE PLZ EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE WORLD HAS AGAINST RAIN. SURE HE’S IN A SLUMP LATELY BUT DANG GET OFF HIS BACK.
you guys know what;actually”popseoul”is a real Rain’s fan,been secreted in love with Rain,been confessed to Rain and been rejected by Rain. that why “popseoul”born 1933!
@lookatyou…..
It could be… Who knows! LOL.
when did he said he rejected the over?
in what article? i’ve never read any
what i read was his manajement said (he was asked to record a Candidate song for olympic song)
hmmm… people just swalow the food given to them simply coz they like how it looks like, poor people.
Rain keep quite about all of this, like what he always did.
wise man!
ah anyway, profesionals people know better
he wont be as big as he is today without the help of bad rumors
and he always survived this kind of stuff again and again
he keeps Standing Tall
don’t be so jealous people. wherever anyone (including rain) is right now, i’m sure it’s the result of hard work. let’s just respect him enough by not attacking him like this. if you don’t know him personally then you don’t have the right to throw such accusations. celebrity or no celebrity.
IMHO, Rain doesn’t deserve to sing at the Olympics. No offense, you “Bi” fans, but seriously, it’s China’s turf. Why would a Korean singer perform? It makes absolutely no sense. I don’t care if he sang for Pantech in Chinese, his Chinese is atrocious, and his English is horrible. Bi’s too stuck up and thinks too highly of himself. It’s time he fell back down to earth.
I just came across this page by chance…
Hahahaha…Popseoul, You have made the biggest blunder by citing wrong information!
Now that the Olympic is over, you must be embarrassed and hoping no one re-reads this page! Ha!
Q: So who is the REAL laughing stock here?!
Ans: Popseoul the PJs!
In this, Rain has the last laugh!!!! Hahahaha…Morons!
