Rain partners up with KBS to make some dough

Rain_200801.2_popseoul

Money crazy Rain partnered up with KBS to distribute all Pinky related media products including dramas, clips of Rain on variety shows, music shows, etc and to sell Pinky related products across Asia.

Again, Rain is recycling his past success to make some dough. It’s rather clever that he’s executing all these “grand” plans before Speed Racer rolls out in May, because we all know that his opportunities will dry out once it does.

    To those who think he’s still young – I am going to say I am not so sure. In an entertainment industry where they start so young and burn out before 30, I think he has a few years left. Although this fan would love to see him stick around for more ; )

    Oh, I really don’t mind you know! I would gladly throw my money at him, if he will accept it!
    But obviously since that will never happen (literally at least!), I would have to contend with throwing my money at the guy in the video store that sells Rain’s dvds and cds.

    So, to Rain-lovers, this is actually very very GOOD NEWS!!

    As someone has pointed out, Rain is now not just an artiste, but also a boss and CEO of his company and he is duty bound to ensure that all his employees get paid, his shareholders gets a decent return on their investments and most importantly keep his fans happy while he is preparing his new album, so this is a win-win solution for everyone!!

    Wow…can’t wait for the dvds to coem out……just can’t get enuff of him…m sure all his fans r gonna b mighty pleased……

    n wat the hell r u guys talking abt him being washed up? he has been in the indutry for 7 years , n he has 4 alnbums, 3 hit dramas, movies both korean n international where he won many awards too…..n u say washed up…r u guys retarded?……to achieve so much at such a young age…..n still going strong…i wud say he is anyhting but washed out….. he is hot property!!!

    n i believe he was the second highest income earner in korea in 2007….does that make him broke? n y shudn’t he make money? y do u think he works so hard? dun we all work for money? so stop making this retarded comments………dun the supposed starts that u jerks support also work for money……its ofcourse another matter that they r not as popular as Bi or cud even ever hope to achieve wat he has…….

    n him doing so many commercials just shows that he is the hottest property right now…everyone wants a piece of him……it doesn’t reflect his finncial status……..

    nywas, give the guy a break…….he is the most grounded, decent, humble , hardworking star i have seen who deserves evey bit of his success…………so back off people………enuff of rain bashing…….if u can’t support him then don’t make those UNFAIR loser comments either……..

    RAIN…..GO GET THEM!!! MAY U REIGN OVER 2008 TOO…….MAY U BE THE BIGGEST STAR THAT EVER WAS…….MAY SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS ALWAYS ALWAYS BE URS!!!

    What ‘Rain partners up with KBS to make some dough’?!Popseoul is bending the facts again!!!

    KBS produced those dramas and therefore own the copyright of them. I don’t think any of the lead characters including Rain has any ownership over those drama.

    KBS know for fact that, after the movie Speed Racer come out, Rain will be known internationally. Rain’s success has basically opened up a new worldwide market for their dramas.

    ———————————–

    Rain earned more than $27millions last year only.
    And you think he must be broke as a joke!!!!!!!!!!! 0_0

    Can I ask you something??? I’m just curious.
    How rich are you???

  7. 7 ELee February 2, 2008 at 9:15 am

    Yea, he needs all the money he can get so he can dump in the American market for his BIG AMERICAN DEBUT!

    I’m just trying to figure out what you guys have against this dude. I’m going to go with jealousy, since he obviously has a lot to be jealous of!

    Anneong,
    Whatever it is and whatever Rain does to make money, it is a honest living that he is making. He does not steal (if you exclude the hearts of his fans ;) ), rob or hurt people. He donates part of his earnings to charity, lends his name to causes he believes in, sets up companies and enterprises that create employment, and pay taxes to the government. All these while staying level-headed and humble.

    I wonder if we will get them on KBS World as well XD

    Nothing wrong with this. And like what someone has posted, KBS owns all his dramas. As for the other things, that’s the show business, my dear. This is Rain’s job, so obviously, he’s working to get paid. Just like all people who are working. We all want money. We all want to get paid. And we do our jobs very well to at least get bonuses. That right there, may also be a “bonus”.

    Be realistic. It’s not like you haters don’t like money. Plastics!
