Rain is ready for Ninja Assassin

20080219rain4

Didn’t recognize our favorite ESL student? Well, neither did we. Superstar, Rain, prematurely dons on ninja wear as a nod to his new leading role in the Wachowski brother’s Ninja Assassin. The film doesn’t start shooting until March 2008 in Berlin, but already the singer is in costume.

Check out Rain’s international handspeak. Why speak English when the hands says it all.

(from left to right) Wait. Ahhhh. Hello, O.K. Wait?

Rain performed at the Lotte DFS Family Concert in Busan on February 16th, 2008.

    This look is like a 360 degrees transformation from his look at the presscon. And those Nike shoes are NEAT!!! Love the choice of color! He looks so good at that event.

    To those who are saying he copied Mickey from DBSK or whoever he is, or tried to hard with this style, AS IF!
    Let me tell you something, when Rain had a short haircut for his 4th album, someone from DBSK- and I’m not sure who because I don’t know them- also had the same cut, although he didn’t have blonde highlights. That was an obvious one. Because bfore that, most males had longer hair pulled to one side style, or there may have been a short haircuts but not as short as Rain’s hair for I’m Coming.

    Besides, MIckey only “copied” it from other entertainers because that style has been pulled off by many entertainers already be it Japanese, Chinese, or American.

    He’s looking oh so hot. I just can’t stop looking at those pictures. Sure wish I was at that concert.

    I LOVE Mickey and I LOVE Rain as well, who cares about clothes and hair that can change in 15 seconds. Rain is still sexy as hell and DAMN look at his skin (waaaahhh I want my skin like that).

    I think people doesn’t like Rain because they’re just jealous of his accomplishments. I admire Rain so much for his endurance and perseverance that he will never give up no matter how difficult it may be. By the way he looks hot!!!! No matter what other people say, he is still number one to all the cloulds all over the world! AZA AZA FIGHTING!!!!

    Damn. The movie will probably be a box office hit, but no one makes bad movies quite like the Wachowski Bros.

    I really like Rain’s voice and his moves, but his looks – well they are the best. Unlike Bae Yong Joon who couldn’t look bad if he tried, Rain has to be careful of the pose. He can look fantastic, but at the wrong moment with the wrong wardrobe he can be hard on the eyes.

    I hope he fires whoever has been in charge of his wardrobe for the last year or so. If he’s doing it himself, needs some serious help with it. He can hire me cheap.

    Ooops – typo! Rain’s looks areN’T the best.

    gotta hand it to rain’s spin doctors. they make it sound like he’s jumping from a small part in Speed Racer to a lead in big Hollyywood movie. a report on beyondhollywood-dot-com says it’s just one out of FOUR main characters, a new one confirmed is collin chou who knows craploads of martial arts.

  14. 14 day walker March 24, 2008 at 11:25 am

    you’re wrong gotta
    he indeed the lead, the other are additional characters, dont sound like you have no idea about a movie. it’s like they said he was one of the four important characters in speed, and that didnt make him the lead actor afterall.

    i start to get it though, when it comes to rain, some people become temporary lost their knowledge

    don’t like the clothes he wore on this pics
    can’t he get other BETTER stylist

    REGARDLESS WHETHER RAIN LOOKS GOOD IN THAT OUTFIT OR NOT, ALL OF YA’LL R STILL TALKIN’ ABOUT HIM. ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY. RAIN CAN DO HIS OWN THING…AS TACKY AS IT MAY BE…BECAUSE HE’S RAIN. HE’S STILL HOT ANYWAYS!! HE’S A GREAT ACTOR, DANCER, & SINGER. SO DON’T BE HATIN’ ON HIM. HE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET WHERE HE’S AT…AND I GIVE HIM MAD PROPS FOR LEARNING NOT ONLY ENGLISH, BUT ANY LITTLE BIT OF ANY LANGUAGE HE HAD TO LEARN WHEN HE WAS TOURING. TRUST ME, I SAW A VIDEO OF HIM SPEAKING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES TO PROMOTE HIS LAST TOUR, AND IT WAS NOT EASY. ANYWAYS, I WISH BI RAIN THE BEST! HE DESERVES IT!! =] BY THE WAY “FRAULEIN”, I LOVE HIS CUTE CHEEKY SMILE! IT’S HIS SIGNATURE.
