Rain premieres Beijing Olympic theme song

Rain_20080222_popseoul

Rain premiered Samsung’s version of the Beijing Olympic theme song at the Samgsung-Rain Press Conference yesterday, looking like a character from an Asian version of Austin Powers.

Rain will start filming the MV on the 22nd and the new Ninja will perform the song on August 8th, 2008.

    His hair is ugly but I love those clothes.

    @ kay

    Thanks for clarifying that it was a typo ^^.

    He needs the Asian fans. I wonder how he/his management will react if one day, they just don’t show up at his events. I’m sure they will be scared.

    i really hope he cuts his hair before he performs during the olympics…i really like him, but i’m not feeling the flamboyant hair

  4. 4 Hoho February 25, 2008 at 5:19 am

    He certainly looks like a JOKE in that picture.

    hobo , too bad u cant find anything else to say . poor u .

  6. 6 Meru February 25, 2008 at 11:51 am

    He looks like he did on SmapxSmap, long time ago, same awkward situation. At least he can pretend to be listening, oy vey.

    era, i’m on your side, but you need to seriously not to entertain those antis. no matter what you would come up with, they will still dont like Rain and keep looking for the loop hole to attack him, so just back off… just let them say whatever they’re comfortable with

    Rain is just an artist to entertain people, and i think he entertains us very well, both fans and antis, dont ya think so? ^_^

    fans love him even more, antis hate him even more… everything is in a perfect balance, he’ll do just fine…

    his fans never worry about him failing, he has felt it hundred of times, a lot more than anyone else in Asia, so, he’s more than ready to fail…. so, fail is like Rain’s middle name… hehehehe…. but i love the guy though, he just never give up… although for some people it means idiot…

  8. 8 noodles February 25, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    I would add ‘perseverance’ to the middle name list.

    Have you noticed the bashings are getting more and more childish?

    There is nothing to the picture; it looks like Rain was ready, just waiting for a signal to start. Those MCs were just having a causal chat with each other before the show formally started.

    Totally agree with hunterXhunter that fans need to stop entertaining those losers.

    Rain needs to cut that hair, as if he didn’t look like a woman already.

    @sujo

    u keep disappointing me , and somehow it aint much of a shock , is that how ur twisted mind usually work !??

    what i ment was regardless of how u feel towards him , u have to judge him fairly , but with that heart of urs !!! yak !! i dont believe that u can .
    i guess that tells alot about u as a person !! such alousy character !! u have so much hard feelings man !!

    @sujo
    why do ppl always bring up his earnings ??? i will tell u why thick head , coz if he was a loser like u he wont ask for money nor get any .
    but thank god he isnt anyway like u !

    at least get the name right, era. it’s there for everyone to see so there’s no excuse to spell it wrong.

    but, of course, that’s just YOUR mentality.

    the only people who are adding to drizzle’s income are all you deluded clouds. you’d buy anything with his face or name stamped on it. so i guess you are to be congratulated for that. :rolleyes:

  11. 11 era February 26, 2008 at 12:38 pm

    @SOJU

    HOW SHALLOW OF U TO KEEP POINTING THESE MISTYPINGS , IT HAPPENS , ITS ONLY HUMAN AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MENTALITY . DO U THINK I WOULD JUDGE U BAESD ON UR SPELLING MISTAKES ?? AS LONG AS I GET UR PIONTOFVIEW I DONT CARE ABOUT TINY DETAILS , BUT THATS JUST ME , MY MENTALITY .

    AS FOR MYSELF , I DONT BUY EVERYTHING WITH HIS NAME AND PICTURE ON IT , IF I DONT LIKE A SONG OF HIS I WILL SAY SO , IF I DIDNT LIKE A DRAMA OF HIS I WOULD SAY SO TOO , I GUESS BECOZ U DONT LIKE RAIN THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT U DONT LIKE OTHER ACTOR , SINGER , BASICLLY OTHER INTERTAINER !? U R SOMEONES FAN JUST LIKE ME BEING RAIN FAN , SO BACK OFF , RESPECT PPLS CHOICES AND LIKES ,

  12. 12 tony February 26, 2008 at 7:26 pm

    @era
    i 100% agree with you . it’s because she has nothing to say,
    so she has pick on people with her magnifier . if i don’t like an artist then i won’t spend 1 second on him/her but i guess she looks for rain’s new when she gets up everyday .

  13. 13 tony February 26, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    ps – rain’s news ( not new )

  14. 14 era February 26, 2008 at 11:25 pm

    @tony

    is it { soju } she or he ? , does the word soju has a meaning in korean ? coz he/she was kinda offended when i kept spelling it wrong !!! lol
    im not korean , so if offend anyone im sorry .

    and u were compeletly right , if i didnt like someone i simply ignore him , i even do that in real life . why waste my time and energy , i even bothered about some of rain anties comments , but now i really dont care for such losers .
    i know that most of them r se7ens fans , i dont like se7en reaaly but i have nothing against him and i wont read his news and write negative comments about it ! how childish !

  15. 15 tony February 27, 2008 at 7:07 am

    @era
    she said she’s a girl ( woman ) who was a cloud before .
    everybody has right to say their opinion but pls don’t use
    any harsh/bad words to insult people ,especially to the one
    you had loved before .

  16. 16 Nathan February 27, 2008 at 7:20 am

    I think it looks more like Miami Vice.

  17. 17 taylor February 27, 2008 at 7:38 am

    Wow, he changed a lot, but hes still hawtt

  18. 18 HATEJHH February 27, 2008 at 8:04 am

    @era, geez chill….u misspelt a 4 letter name repetitively…that’s kinda stupid on your part and not mere typo :lol: AND psycho for you to be alll yelling and howling, u r just eliminating my any hope of a rational Bi fan (if that ever existed… HAHAHA)

  19. 19 era February 27, 2008 at 8:22 am

    @hatejehh

    sweeti , i dont understand what soju really means ! im sorry , but if i dont understand it then im likely to mistype it . i always tend to type fast and hardly check before pressing enter !

    @tony
    thank u for the information , aha , then she is she !!! and was a fan of rain !!? wow , how can someone tend to hate that badly after love !? strange .

  20. 20 tony February 27, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    @HATEJHH
    it’s just a typing mistake and era already made an apology for her misspelling .-” i’m not korean , so offend anyone i’m sorry . ” you don’t have to so rude to her . most of
    rain’s fans are rationalness , so i wish most of anti also are rationalness .

  21. 21 era February 27, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    @tony
    tony u r such a sweetheart .
    dont bother , i hardly give adamn about them , but i felt that i have to say sorry if i may offend someone without meaning to , but for those antis , i do mean to !! lol

    if i have any question about korea i would ask u , is it ok ?

  22. 22 tony February 27, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    @era
    i’m sorry because i’m also not korean . all i know just rain . i’m not interested other things in korea ,except bi .

  23. 24 HATEJHH February 27, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    @tony and era, u 2 should make out or sth…but get a room.

    again, u misspelt my nick.. and I’m counting…u just cant spell…and u r the one writing in caps and being rude. I was being nice calling u irrational.

  24. 25 HATEJHH February 27, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    if u want ppl to stop pointing at ur ‘mistypings’ stop making THEM, or yelling in caps when ppl r just pointing out facts.

    Just a note, it’s rude enough to repetitively misspelt someone’s 4 letter nick, Korean or no Korean… I find it offensive that u have to holler and yell back in caps which is very rude internet behavior.

  25. 26 tony February 27, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    @hatejhh
    you’re just trying to make a big deal for a small mistake .
    this blog is for people make their comments , not typing
    lesson . you’re saying how people’s rude and irrational ,
    pls read your comments again then you know who’s the most rude and irrational person .
    era already made her an apology three times in this post for her typing mistake . how come you still act like a barbarian .

  26. 27 soju February 28, 2008 at 5:16 am

    @era

    and u were compeletly right , if i didnt like someone i simply ignore him , i even do that in real life . why waste my time and energy ,

    if you don’t like us then why do you bother assaulting us with your yelling and screaming? you’re not making sense.

  27. 28 soju February 28, 2008 at 5:18 am

    @tony
    era already made her an apology three times in this post for her typing mistake . how come you still act like a barbarian .

    i hardly believe this is an ‘apology’.

    era)
    @tony
    tony u r such a sweetheart .
    dont bother , i hardly give adamn about them , but i felt that i have to say sorry if i may offend someone without meaning to , but for those antis , i do mean to !! lol

  28. 29 tony February 28, 2008 at 6:30 am

    @ soju
    i’m not surprise because you never accept apology and never
    forgive someone .

  29. 30 soju February 28, 2008 at 6:37 am

    ^ and you know me, how?

    i accept apologies when they are sincere. after screwing with everyone’s nick (ie, not just mine), we all know that era did it on purpose because that’s what a child does.

  30. 31 era February 28, 2008 at 7:33 am

    @soju

    i wanna ask u , seriously , what made u hate rain so much after being afan of his ? im really interestd to know .

  31. 32 tony February 28, 2008 at 8:24 am

    @soju
    what is the meaning of sincere ? you want people say sorry
    with their knees down in front of you . don’t pick on someone with your magnifier ! era really felt sorry to misspell your nick .

  32. 33 soju February 28, 2008 at 8:31 am

    i’ve already stated my reasons and don’t care to repeat myself.

    let’s just say that i think he is an irresponsible jerk. he’s fake, phony and a poser.

  33. 34 era February 28, 2008 at 8:38 am

    @hatejhh

    tony and era, u 2 should make out or sth…but get a room

    +++++++++

    that was too much . u crossed the line .

  34. 35 era February 28, 2008 at 8:43 am

    @soju

    i’ve already stated my reasons and don’t care to repeat myself

    +++++++++++++++

    i didnt read it , where did u stated it ? , which blog ?.
    i find my self very interestd to know , really . u seem to be well educated with open minded kinda attitude , its not easy for u to get impressed easily or hate easily . and thats the reason of my curiousity .
    could u please tell me and care to repeat ur self please .

  35. 36 soju February 28, 2008 at 10:37 am

    give it up era. i don’t feel the need to confide in you. besides, what’s with the jeckyl/hyde personality? you call me names with one face then give me compliments with the other? sorry. i don’t fall for your attempt at reverse psychology.

  36. 37 Orchid899 February 28, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    Oh wow so many comments. I think I’ll add one to the mix. So Rain’s not perfect. So the suit makes him look like a 70’s lounge singer at a country club. So what? He’s still fine as hell and uber talented. I LOVE YOU RAIN!!! I can’t wait for Speed Racer, Baby!

  37. 38 era February 28, 2008 at 1:00 pm

    @soju

    first of all i never thought that u would think that i would praise u to get the information out of u .
    if u dont feel like it , i understand .
    plus i thought that u wrote it somewhere for others to see it , so there is nothing to confide in , is there ?

    to tell u the truth , its not my style to attack who disagree with me , but i admit i got carried away , and when i read my comments i feel its not me . im not proud of that nor im justifying it . all i intended to do was exchanging point of views and share information , but somehow i did let my self down .

    for me to love rain and support him was agreat source of joy to me , but to act like that , i dont feel that good coz simply its not really me .
    im proud to be his fan , but i shouldve gave who disagree with me more space to be themselfs and have more faith in rain and myself ,, so if i called u names and hurt u its becoz i was carried away , i have no personal feelings towards coz i dont know u . i hope u get that .
    but i intend to be more civilised about this ,
    i hope i made my self clear .

    ^schizo, indeed.

  39. 41 azndude March 11, 2008 at 11:31 am

    Rain looks like a statue. The girl on his right also finds Rain puzzling – look at her face. She’s wondering if he is real or not.

    After RAin left JYP entertainment he became more and more disappointing especially to his fashion sense.
