I know. Knocking a guy down when he’s already down isn’t very nice. But I just can’t help it!
Rain is pure comedy. The reason being is that you can’t make this stuff up.
Yet again, Magic Feet entertains with the same hilarious (and rehearsed) line “controlling my mind and menu with chicken breasts and vegetables…you know, it’s horrible, you know” in another interview at the 2008 ComicCon in San Diego. This time, you can see the translator beside him trying to keep a straight face by looking down. Just imagine how many times the poor guy has heard that same tired line!
The best part of the interview was at the end:
Interviewer: “Did you learn any German?”
Rain: “It was beautiful. Yeah.” (translator whispers)
Interviewer: What are you working on next?
Rain: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… I don’t know yet but….I wish… I wish… you know… my next film … would be…love story”
The repeated mention of a “love story” here at the end of this interview and also in the Movieweb interview suggest that the man needs some real good loving. I guess the “two swords” as girlfriends did not satisfy.
Any volunteers?
Check out the interview: (Note: Since you are probably desensitized from the 2 previous interviews, this one is not so bad)
This is hilarious…

lol.lol
cant stand it…
gosh…..i seriously think popseoul is in love with rain…she just has to mention him or is it because any article abt him draws so much attention???
n about his english…i think he has improved a lot…….instead of making fun of him lets applaud his effort at trying to give interviews in english for the sake of his fans……i am so glad i can listen to his interviews first hand insetad of having it subbed…….
and please don’t go calling him dumb………i have watched his korean interviews and he comes across as very intelligent and wise for his years not to forget very down to earth. because his command over the english language is still not very good he is unable to express himself well.
so guys…just give him a break…….and lets applaud his efforts!!!
and from some comments here looks like some people still think speaking english well gives them a sense of superiority…hah! wat a joke!!! u guys r pathetic!
were you all born masters of the english language?
at least he’s trying!
This is the second time is read about him just msking a complete fool out of himself..and it’s beginning to get pretty sad…it just seems like most of time he just doesn’t know what’s going on so he decides to just talk..Poor Rain!!..but he is kind of cute though.

Have you noticed all the Advertisements which were in the previlus Popseoul have gone?
This must be the only reason why Popsoeul’s suddenly working so hard to bash Rain and so many Rain’s posts appear all at once. News of other celebs rarely reach 30 comments, while Rain’s reach 100+ easy. More traffic to their site, more appeal to prospective clients.
O____O;;

LOOKIE! it’s rain’s cousin…only he’s better in english LOLOLOL XD
this interview is soooo hilarious
alright, his english sucks
we get it T_T
i don’t see why PS needed three different entries to say the same thing
I hope all those who laughed at Rain just because he couldn’t speak that stupid language well will one day witness their adult sons and daughters trying to speak a foreign language required by the job being laughed at because they couldn’t speak the language well.
i think he meant that the langauge german was beautiful o-o
im not a fan of rain at all, but seriously give the guy a break….
i mean its not easy to learn a new language especially when you’re an asian learning english…
rain = dead to me
he seriously needs a reality check. broken english is not sexy especially with any asian accent.
i remember i used to like him, but this is just sad.
in america, there’s sooo much going on in entertainment that you have to come on strong or else everybody will forget you.
At least he’s trying, people. I’m not his fan but I can see he is really trying how to speak English…besides English isn’t his first language right? Why bashed him because of that? Give him a few more years I know he’ll improve.
ps. he should ditch his stylist for making him ugly.
I never really liked this kid..until now. He’s damn hilarious! Chicken breasts and vegatables…too damn funny.
Rain with that nervous laughter reminds me of Korean yu hak sengs when dealing with Americans.
His english wouldn’t be that bad if he didn’t repeat “You know…”, “Uh….” and “I wish…” all the time.
But hey you can’t blame a guy for trying…
Gah, I just can’t watch those inerviews >.<
I love Rain & all but he needs to stop making a fool of himself & go back to learning english 24/7!!!
@Laila
Thanks for the link..I also wondered when I read again all the comments, your previous comment was deleted..I thought I just mislooked, so I kept looking for the link you gave but I didn’t find it..good thing it’s back..now poopseoul, hope you read that link with full understanding (assuming you can comprehend things)and take it by heart..But then, here I am again, wishing for something that will never happen..*slaphead*
Ooh, there’s nothing yummier than a sexy man trying to speak a new language.
Rain darling, it’s o.k. You want to learn? I’ll teach you…especially the naughty words…grrrrrrrrrrrrr
^I would teach Rain the words “restraining order”
^LoL.
I’m excusing him for his lack of english. He’ll come along with it… someday. LoL.
Now, the REAL problem I have with him is the gay mushroom cut(especially when it’s curled). No, Rain, NOoooo!
For a Korean, Rain has a good pronunciation. OwO
But he has more to learn
Speaking as an English teacher in Korea, as with all Korean students, Rain shouldn’t worry so much about speaking… listening is the real problem!
His pronunciation is actually really good… better than the german!
He just needs a much bigger vocabulary! OMG that was so funny though.
So much confidence and pretending to understand… how can you not love him?
man that hurt to watch
Of course you can’t help yourself, it’s your nature. It’s a pathetic thing but you decided that for yourself.
[b]People who bring other people down just wants to make themselves feel better. [/b]
And you said you are embarrassed to be Korean? Well, I am embarrassed to be an Asian with your kind of mentality.
I would have been feeling sorry for people like you, but not for you. I decided against it since you are in great company. Example, soju is actually calling you unnie. Aw! Two people who knows nothing but pick on others. Just perfect.
Oh, btw, soju. Read your previous comments. Stop explaining yourself as if everyone that replies to your post care. You’re being defensive and you don’t know it.
–
It’s okay people, if the other PS biatch got her karma, this PS biatch here who, let me quote, has excellent English listening skills, but didn’t know she has very poor English writing skills, will surely get hers. There’s always time for everything.
Thumbs up, LAILA!!!!!
you make me think twice and now, I know that you just make a complete sense….I just found someone who could actually point out reasons of Rain’s lack of speaking….
well, yeah, maybe I am being too harsh over Rain and all, and after reading your super excellent (better than Popseoul’s) comments, I just realized that humans are not perfect, and learning English as second language is probably harder than what we expected….maybe it’s easy for us to say that he’s just lazy or whatever, but the thing is, he’s still in the learning process….you can’t just expect someone like him, who sets Korean as his first language to rise up to a super duper excellent English speaker…
after I think again and again, Laila is absolutely correct…to be in his position is very hard…let’s face it, if we are in front of the camera and someone ask some questions to us, we cannot answer them 100% correctly…not like somebody who has very high skills on English
Again, you make me realized, LAILA!!!I give you a big round of applause!!!^_^
3 years… of studying? English? Really?
Well, I guess not everyone has a talent for languages. Especially this guy. I don’t think he even learned Japanese when did his thing over there.
Haha @ the flashcards. I think he should starting writing notes on his sleeve or hand.
What is embarrassing in his interview is not his ability of spoken english but his attitude. He is PRETENTIOUS.
okay, so his english isnt very good.
i would LOVE to hear all your korean!
(for the people who said that he was embaressing)
english is a really hard language to learn if your foreign or was born somewhere else.
3 years isnt alot.
its just like taking 3 years of spanish in grade school.
and again,
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR KOREAN =)
bloomoon – we’re not trying to break into Hollywood or rather, the Korean entertainment market.
Stop making excuses for him.
Confused… if the restraining order comment was for me…I think I need to teach you a new word “skeet”
The worst thing about his interview besides his BAD english, is that his responses are so immature and gay. He’s acting as though he’s 16 and being cute for this little girlie fans.
I don’t get it. He’s at Comic Con to promote his new film Ninja Assassin. He should be promoting his image a little more macho than that. I am embarassed for him. I think he’s going through this Michael Jackson phase and he is weirding me out.
I WAS WATCHING BETWEEN MY FINGERS.
goddd he’s sold millions of albums, he’s got the money, can’t he find at least ONE decent english teacher?
…..i know i’ll be willing to
lol a complete idiot i mean if i want to make a fool of myself i wouldnt go for an interview in cambridge! 1st, girly-mushroom hair flush out the ninja look. he looks like as if hes playing the gay partner of the ninja . brahahahaha. i guess… mr emmbrassment + ex-moron minister = a great duo should arrange a meeting so the world would have a circus 10th Engrish language. ey BKJsuh the first language is only fluent spoken with unconditional vocabulary like poseoul sis herself. woa credit. if i havent surpass the first language first he dared not to be placed in 2nd language either. basic ‘ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ’ or or Peter & Jane reading book helps me alot when i was 7. i highly recommend him to go for that first .
i stop the vid after the first question..
i cant stand it!
but to all of YUNHO’s fans, u must be super happy bcoz:
“you know”
“you know”
“you know”
He should be like Jay Chou…don’t try to speak English when you are not good at it…Jay speaks way better English than him…but when interviewed by CNN lately…he chose to speak Mandarin instead…Rain stop making a fool out of yourself seriously…
And yeah, definately get another English teacher…Rain’s English not only sounds weird it sounds improper…”you know” should always be avoided as well as “uh” – don’t say “like” either – that should be the first lesson in ESL. I cannot believe his English mentor did not advise him this – no UHs, YOU KNOWs, or LIKEs – leave those out! OMG…I just want to slap Rain in the face! My first grade English teacher taught me this! His English “teacher” should definately be fired…hire a “professor” if you have so much money…his English sounds like he hired some “whore” on the street…honestly, he sounds like some foreign whore working on the street.
I think he hangs around Naomie too much – listen to her speak – she says alot of “you know” and “ya..ya”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoSAIAj39lE
The thing that bothers me is he’s copying all her “bad” English – “you know, you know, ya, ya” and not her good English.
I know that Rain saids a lot “you know” and stuff
but this one was better than the other
Rain is growing… nothing it’s easy at the begin
i love how you all make excuses for him, the questions the interviewer asked were not even bad
@”Whatever” Rain isn’t copying anyone’s bad English. He has been too lazy to really learn to speak English which is very disappointing. He has had long enough to learn to speak English and he is rich enough to hire a good English teacher. So don’t blame her. She a very beautiful woman who speaks understandable English. Don’t be jealous of her because she starred in a movie with him.
oh man! Rain i know you’re doing al your best to learn English and im proud of u.. :]
Ya’ll OMG man give this Asian dude a break. Atleast this dude can speak your english language,but can u speak his language?..Maybe some people can but dude don’t expect alot from him english is not his first language for christ sake.
poor thing eglish dosen’t come to easy for him, i think seven is having a easyer time. but i give him credit for trying and doing so much
Oh gosh…-_-
I used to be a big fan of him a year ago
This is embarrassing towards Korean citizens seeing the response Bi gives to the reporter….
I am quite divided on this matter of Rain’s grasp of English.
To those who bash him for having poor English, think about how busy he is. He’s filming movies, training, and working on an album. Think about the overworked stars in Korea that we hear of now, and then think about how much Rain is overworking now that he’s in the US and all the pressure that is on him. I respect him for that fact he is trying his best to learn English, he is obviously making an effort to sound as natural as possible. Yes, he NEEDS to work on his vocab, BIG TIME, but give him kudos for the fact he can speak at that level of English considering how busy he is… And also, I am full Korean, and my mom, even though she’s lived in the US for almost 20 years, surrounded by English speaking people, in an English speaking environment, and having a normal work life, she still isn’t completely fluent in English and still has somewhat of a heavy accent. She still has some problems understanding some English, but she gets by pretty well… Also people have to understand that not all people are good at learning languages… I think it comes from Rain being a celeb, like he has to be PERFECT, even me, if I hear some celeb smokes, I go OMG! HE SMOKES?, but then I have to remind myself that these are NORMAL PEOPLE WITH GIFTED TALENTS.
On the other hand…
Rain, knowing how hard the media industry is in the US, should’ve worked on his English speaking skills a WHOLE lot more before tackling the market. I understand that there are once in a lifetime chances, opportunities, and chances, but there’s also humiliation, regret, and harsh criticism that can never be taken back. In the US people actually listen to what celebrities have to say, instead of screaming at the first sound out of a star’s mouth.
That’s my two cents, and I hope people actually take their time to read and think about it, because everyday, I see people jumping at each other at the very first moment they see a negative OR positive remark about a celeb, without even taking the time or thought to read through what they had to say… >_>
he said “you know” like 9 times.i’m surprised its not 10.you know? xD
Inky,
He had the same nervous laughter when he was introduced at the WMA conference. And every other time he’s in front of a caucausian (english speaking) crowd.
