Rain comes out with Kim Sun-a but can they top Usher and Beyonce?

Rain_0810101

Did Ha Ji-won’s abusive girlfriend antics lead Rain to dump her?

Well apparently so. For Rain’s showcase concert for 1000 privileged Clouds, “Me. Rain. Dance,” (which indicates his English skill level), Chicken breasts brought out actress Kim Sun-a as his dancing partner.

Although, Rain’s comeback showcase will air on MBC on October 17th, we don’t think it can top the dynamic duo of Usher and Beyonce’s sizzling hot dance for the song, “Bad Girl.

    I remember that ursh perf; it wasn’t good. I hope Rain does better!

  5. 5 JOANA October 10, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    popseoul, you’re ridiculous

    you haven’t seen anything but a single picture, yet you could tell things.
    hahaha… stupid article of you

  6. 6 kikay*..* October 10, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    rain is very good.
    all he needs to do is just practice more
    his english.

    *..*

  7. 7 samy October 10, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    PS what’s wrong with you???
    your articles are more bad then rain’s english
    you need new writers
    as for the subject
    woooooow they both look sexy and i love both of them
    and i can’t wait to see the showcase

  8. 8 Shar October 10, 2008 at 9:35 pm

    Is that question a joke??!!!!

  9. 9 Shar October 10, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    And I doubt that the girl would top Beyonce, I have never seen a really good Female Korean hip-hop dancer, only Korean male dancers.

  10. 10 KPOPTV October 10, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    Usher and Beyonce can’t be compare to Rain and Kim Sun-a. They don’t share the same chemistry.

  11. 11 727 October 10, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    Does it really matter?? I think Rain’s doing a good job the way he is.

  12. 12 boldstripes October 10, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    of course they wont…that’s not even a question…

  13. 13 nibby October 10, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    What in the world is Rain wearing?!!!

  14. 14 chay October 10, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    That is just an idiotic comparison.

    And you made that because Rain and Usher have th same dance moves, is that is? So lame.

    And your joke about the chicken whatever, it’s so old. It’s not funny anymore. You just sound like Rain’s “you knows” in his interviews. Over and over again. Get over it! Geez!

    Picking on his english skills level…HA! And how many times have I corrected your crappiness of English this past week?

    Stupid “writer”.

  15. 15 Tata's October 10, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    Oh my God….

  16. 16 chay October 10, 2008 at 10:21 pm

    ew, I’m correcting my typo errors. You should really get an EDIT box here. But whatever, it’s a slow news day anyway.

    *And you made that comparison because Rain and Usher have the same dance moves, is that IT?

    There isn’t even that much interaction between Usher and Beyonce in that performance. Rain and KSA performed a tango. If you were referring to chemistry, you should have put that in the post. Or maybe you forgot the spelling of chemistry.

  17. 17 so October 10, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    Come on people, POPSEOUL just try to entertain everybody in here so you guys can’t be mad at POPSEOUL lol!!!!!!

  18. 18 CharlotteDarcy October 10, 2008 at 10:45 pm

    Didn’t they do a newspaper prank on both of them a long time ago? and then Kim SUn ah accidently revealed that she had a crush on Rain. oohlala

  19. 19 YJ October 10, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    Am I the only one that found that Usher and Beyonce perf really boring??? Hopefully Kim Sun-ah and Rain will do a better job~

  20. 20 irmakaneli October 10, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    OMG beyonce got a FAT ASS!

  21. 21 Arie October 11, 2008 at 12:32 am

    @samy: Worse, not more bad.

    ~Kim Sunah is an awesome actress but… Me.Rain.Dance? I can’t wait to see that XD

  22. 22 whoever October 11, 2008 at 12:47 am

    @chay

    maybe you should stop complaining and when popseoul hires again you can join the team and magically make the site better since you know so much!!

    quit whining–just dont read it!!!

  23. 23 rainonmebi October 11, 2008 at 12:51 am

    @charlottedarcy

    HA! yes they did!

    …that prank was so hilarious!! lololol
    And rain was getting pissed off because no one would believe him that he wasn’t dating her!!

    “With a body like his…who could see him as a ‘little brother’?” hahaha

  24. 24 c'est la vie October 11, 2008 at 12:52 am

    Mind you!

    POPSEOUL! Spicy. (way too much spices and MSG) Fun. (making fun of any celebs) Addictive (POPSEOUL! is addicted to read our comments)

    Rain and KSA rock!

  25. 25 YOYOYO October 11, 2008 at 1:32 am

    wow just look at the pix i can tell that Sun-A lookin fine n thin n sexyyy ;D woo. i hope it’s gonna be good or ima be disappointed. rain might not be good in english, but im sure he’ll do fine in dancing hahaha stupid PS

  26. 26 so October 11, 2008 at 1:36 am

    hey Whoever,

    That’s what I’m talking, stop complaining and you’re right on that one. Just don’t read it, I’m with you.

  27. 27 Iynx October 11, 2008 at 1:40 am

    You are just so in love with Rain it’s actually sickening. LOl!

  28. 28 Empress80 October 11, 2008 at 2:14 am

    Makes sense…… Rain has always said he was attracted to older women. Maybe this time, there might be a little sumthin, sumthin going on with the two.

  29. 29 kate0423 October 11, 2008 at 2:19 am

    Hope to see the tango performance of Rain ang Kim Sun Ah.

  30. 30 asianromance October 11, 2008 at 2:46 am

    *confused* so are Rain and Kim Sun-ah doing a rendition of bad girl? If otherwise, then we can’t really compare them with Beyonce and Usher- cuz then we’d have to compare every male x female singing/dancing partnering act out there with them. Anyways, Kim Sun-ah looks hot!

  31. 31 luluspg October 11, 2008 at 2:55 am

    should not compare the two pairs because they are different but that’s how it really goes, right? that’s ok because Rain is Rain and for me Rain=greatness…. and that’s all that matters!!!

  32. 32 kiddo October 11, 2008 at 3:22 am

    HAH Chay just made an @ss out of himself

    Honestly, Rain and that girl could probably top that performance… Usher is just walking around and Beyonce is just shakin some booty

  33. 33 starstarpanda October 11, 2008 at 3:39 am

    PopSeoul, seriously leave Rain alone. He isn’t as bad you think he is comparing to other stars I know. He is a amazing singer who can dance, what else do you want from him.
    But yeah, Rain English suck. End of.

  34. 34 lmsandra October 11, 2008 at 3:41 am

    Rain is amazing! I’ve already preordered my cd from YesAsia can’t wait. He sounds and looks amazing. Loving him!!!

  35. 35 Bevis October 11, 2008 at 4:04 am

    Popseoul just got jealous. she wants to dance with Rain actually. :P

  36. 36 palki October 11, 2008 at 4:28 am

    To dance really well you have to gifted. It has to come naturally like Usher. You can become quite competent at it if you practice hard enough like Rain. But talent is talent. Some people have it some don’t. When you watch Usher dance it’s magic. Rain….you see a lot of training and hardwork but the magic is not there.

  37. 37 kimjoyan October 11, 2008 at 4:50 am

    ..,eheem popseoul that was very rude article…have you seen that # were Kim Sun Ah and Rain dance tango??!
    and they were right you can’t compare Beyonce-Usher to SUNA-RAIN, they have different talents did you know that…
    and did you know the story behind that dance#? SUNA really work hard just to make those moves perfect and RAIN requested
    SUNA to be his partner..so that performance was really
    important to them…and “that girl” is KIM SUN AH and she’s not a “older women”…it just so happen that SUNA and RAIN has good relationship as friend…

  38. 38 anggie October 11, 2008 at 5:17 am

    well i don’t agree with your idea of comparing someone to other in this case (RAIN - SUNA)and (USHER -BEYONCE)… i think everyone has their own skills…also they will dance a different kind of music. Did you ask yourself how difficult could be to dance tango so just don’t be bad saying all those things and i think that SUNNY AND RAIN WILL DO IT WONDERFULLY because they practice a lot and they won’t dissapoint all their fans…we always support them ^^.

  39. 39 mzpakipot October 11, 2008 at 5:27 am

    “we don’t think it can top the dynamic duo of Usher and Beyonce’s sizzling hot dance for the song, “Bad Girl.”

    When you said “we”? How many popseoulers wrote this post???

  40. 40 miki October 11, 2008 at 5:31 am

    I love that Rain did this with Kim Sun Ah, who is in her 30’s. They are both looking lean and fine.

    Anyone konw if/when the two-part special will be aired on MBC America in US?

  41. 41 mai-mai October 11, 2008 at 5:35 am

    omg, i love Sun Ah!! that’s so cool he picked her… and yeah don’t even compare Sun Ah to Beyonce… they have different forte… and she looks skinny… it looks like she’s back to her model figure, or is it just me.. <3 them both

  42. 42 Jasmine* October 11, 2008 at 5:45 am

    well don’t wanna compare but Rain can definitely dance!!

  43. 43 mai-mai October 11, 2008 at 6:08 am

    i just remembered!! they had a prank “scandal”, saying that Sun Ah wanted to go out w/ him and vise versa.. it’s on youtube… it was funny… thought i’d mention that..

  44. 44 Izumi October 11, 2008 at 6:27 am

    I’m a huge Beyonce fan (and not really a Rain fan at that), but that performance by Beyonce and Usher really wasn’t that great.

    It was just mainly Usher doing his singing and Beyonce shaking her booty now and then.

    You should see when Beyonce REALLY dances on her upbeat songs, she is amazing.

    So, I dunno why you compared Rain’s performance with Beyonce’s duet with Usher’s…

  45. 45 Jewels October 11, 2008 at 6:34 am

    I was wondering why he picked KSA but I guess he picked her bcuz in 10-10-2004 that when’s they played that prank on him and Kim Sun-ah! I’m sure alot of people remember that! I can’t wait to see their tango!!!

  46. 46 rk October 11, 2008 at 7:06 am

    this is the stupidest comparison ever. first of all, Rain can’t be compared to Usher in this song because they don’t even relate. Also, how can you compare Kim Sunah to Beyonce??? Kim Sunah isn’t a professional dancer like Beyonce geez. Why couldn’t you just give the news as is and not make the unecessary comparison? lame.

    btw, the video was HOT, love the two together. Beyonce and usher rocked that stage.

  47. 47 rk October 11, 2008 at 7:07 am

    Oh and if you guys want unbiased news on this article, go to coolsmurf. Kim sunah sighned up to be his partner cuz she was interested.

  48. 48 jastinel October 11, 2008 at 7:41 am

    They are not in the same level, That video of Usher and Beyonce might be sizzling hot, but what is so amazing about it? they don`t even have choreography, Bi and Suna have memorize all the steps for their Tango dance and mind you Suna is not a dancer, but she manage to memorized all the steps in 3 days, I bet their performance is much better than that Video that you posted, I thought there is something special about that Usher and Beyonce performance. If you will compare, Suna`s body to Beyonce, still, I will vote for Suna.

  49. 49 tita October 11, 2008 at 8:12 am

    So what will popseoul do next?

    Compare a ballet performance to a breakdance performance?

  50. 50 tony October 11, 2008 at 8:20 am

    how can popseoul compare bad girl with bad boy . they are
    totally different type of music and performance . rain’s always a very good artist and try his best to perform .

  51. 51 .Lemon hands October 11, 2008 at 12:26 pm

    Nobody can top Usher & Beyonce. But WTH is Rain wearing, after seeing Rain’s new mv I thought he had a decent style but after these pictures….not so much

  52. 52 chay October 11, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    @ whoever

    Sorry to you, whoever you are. I’ve been reading this blog for a long time now and I think I know what I will want to read and not here. I also know when to whine about the posts or not. Thanks for your concern, though. It’s a comments section so I can comment whatever or whine, if you would like to put it that way.

  53. 53 nikeg October 11, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    i give props so kim sunah. unlike the other three shes neither a singer nor dancer by profession and to my knowledge, is not known as one either. props.

  54. 54 fraulein October 11, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    The Usher-Rain comparisons are aren’t new but what’s with Kim Sun-a and Beyonce. There aren’t enough similarities to put the two together…

    Beyonce once called herself a triple threat (sings, dances, acts professionally, not unlike Rain) but I’m sure if KSA dances and sings, it is not done so on a professional level.

  55. 55 myhxmbuzz October 11, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    compare like with like..

    anyway.. i totally support RAIN!!!! n hahahaa.. samsoon!!! ;p love that girl.. she’s so adorable.. ;p

  56. 56 jenfraud October 11, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    popseoul!!stop comparing rain to usher ok
    usher is talented and definitely a world star unlike rain who just copy his style of music and dancing moves
    i’ve heard rains new single and it sounds like usher’s confession

  57. 57 JOANA October 12, 2008 at 9:28 am

    like janfarud said - POPSEOUL, stop comparing Rain to Usher ok

    Rain is talented and definitely HOT unlike Usher who just look like a midget and can’t even choreographed his own songs.

  58. 58 Afromantic October 12, 2008 at 9:49 am

    Okay, one beyonce didnt even dance she was just shakin her money-maker and two, there was no chemistry between her and usher. What a waste of four minutes. If you call someone shaking their butt repeatedly and a man just walking around her ogling, a fantastic performance then america really has gone to the dogs…

  59. 59 live4music October 12, 2008 at 10:50 am

    boo. i dont like beyonce XP

  60. 60 kookoo~` October 12, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Were Ha Jin-won and Rain an item? Seems I may have missed that piece of news since I didn’t even know about it.

  62. 62 cinderella October 12, 2008 at 1:10 pm

    chicken breasts again? grow up…

  63. 63 ihaterain October 12, 2008 at 2:41 pm

    of course you can’t compare the two acts. seriously rain can not be compared to usher. usher is known around the world for his songs and his dance moves. and i personally think he sounds better. (stfu its my opinion.) even koreans play usher songs and even played them out ie. yeah! who the hell would listen to rains garbage. he will never become famous outside of asia because he doesnt have the talent or qualities of a “star”. and why are you people hating on beyonce. shes hot and talented. i smell some hating. seriously who can shake their money maker like beyonce can in korea? no one thought so. and someone was talking about chemistry between usher and beyonce. are you dumb? beyonce is married to a hip hop mogul. shes in love with him so you cant expect chamistry between the two. and people who are complaining about Ps making fun of rains english. stfu! seriously its their blog they can put whatever they want up here. you are the idiots reading about ti and whining. and i think rain should touch up his non existing english skills. he should if he wants to get famous. by him not knowning the language people are bashing him. i think he deserves it. if he wants to make it in the states he will have to learn english because no one is going to acknowledge him. i honestly dont think people even realized his part in any movies he came out in. ie speed racer. no one ever said whoa whos that asian guy. i think the god guy had more of an impact in the movie than he did. if you dont want PS to bash on rain just dont come to their site.

  64. 64 nysophia October 12, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    lolz, i basically agree with what everyone is saying:

    1. This is a lame article, geez popseoul.
    2. don’t compare rain and usher.
    3. damn, beyonce has a FAT ass rofl
    4. yes, i found usher and beyonce’s perf. really boring..
    5. chicken breast again? really?

  65. 65 jajaja October 12, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    ^ what are you talking about???

  66. 66 jajaja October 12, 2008 at 2:49 pm

    EDIT: I post my comment to commented ihaterain
    October 12, 2008 at 2:41 pm

  67. 67 nysophia October 12, 2008 at 2:49 pm

    oh btw, to “ihaterain”, if you have negative comments to say about rain, just keep them to yourself. cuz clearly most of the people that are commenting here are fans of rain. don’t be jealous just cuz he’s making millions and your not. plus, i think rain has a much better voice than usher. usher just happened to have better choreographers and songwriters.

  68. 68 tia.lovee October 12, 2008 at 3:14 pm

    it looks okay.
    rain’s new hair is smokin hot, anyways. so he’s not too bad to look at, IF the performance is bland.
    hopefully it isnt.

  69. 69 oh won bin October 12, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    popseoul, u just make my day…
    labelling rain as ‘CHICKEN BREAST’!!!!

    now i know wat will i call him from now on
    XDDDD

  70. 70 c'est la vie October 12, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    I don’t care whether people are interested in Rain’s performance in Speed Racer or not. I’m just happy for RAIN having a good chance to be in a Hollywood movie.

    I knew some people would make fun of him, for such a little role, the media in Asia made a BIG fuss of it, big posters, big promotions. HEY! It’s because Rain has been popular in Asia countries, of course all parties wanted to gain $$$ through this movie. SO WHAT?

    @ihaterain,”he will never become famous outside of asia because he doesnt have the talent or qualities of a “star””.

    Define the “qualities of a star”
    What’s your qualification to say such thing? If you don’t want people to disagree with you, don’t say it here. That’s so disrespectful.

  71. 71 c'est la vie October 12, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    @ihaterain, you’ve got the point, but we, the readers, have the rights to object too. If this website doesn’t want people to whine/complain, and IF this website doesn’t want any feedback, DON’T give us space to write anything. I think this website NEEDS the fights to make it SAUCY! Let’s debate sensibly!

    Rain’s English, yes, it needs to be polished faster!

  72. 72 shinta October 12, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    @ ihaterain

    “yeah! who the hell would listen to rains garbage.”

    Garbage? You mean those that garnered N hits on youtube, albums being bought in N countries? Garbage indeed!

  73. 73 ihaterain October 13, 2008 at 12:08 am

    nysophia: first of all im not jealous of rain and his money. money is not an issue to me.

    c’est la vie: i said polished to non existing english skills. who are you to say i shouldnt post negative comments and keep it to myself. isn’t this a blog. im just saying people should calm down with the bashing of the writers of this blog. they are the ones who bring you the latest celeb news from korea/asia. you are bashing the writers opinions and cry when i say something about your beloved rain. if rain wants to succeed outside of korea he will need to step his game up. english mostly. if you can’t give an interview just dont give one and make youself look like a fool. by him not improving his english skills will only work against him. it shows that he isn’t trying hard enough to learn the language. yea most of you will say yea he’s busy. if you want to make it in the u.s. which i know he wants to do it is important to learn the language. and you said who cares about his performance in the movie… are you seriously? even if it was a small role he should have used the chance to get his name out as an actor. just because the movie stunk doesn’t mean he wasn’t given a chance to shine or make an impression.

    shinta: you said it right! garbage indeed!

  74. 74 ihaterain October 13, 2008 at 12:10 am

    did i mention? i heart kim sun a.

  75. 75 jajaja October 13, 2008 at 12:51 am

    @ihaterain, or hateJJH, or whoever you are…
    lolols…. yeah… apparently producer look at Bi over the guy in god which you say he has more impact than Rain, let me ask you, did the guy have a name in Speed racer??
    ohhh.. maybe because he showed up with JYP in PIFF so you have a conclusion that he has more impact. alright then…

    popseoul bring latest info of kpop?? for real??
    are you sure?? this is not info! she is basically bashed everyone, and since rain is her fave artist, she put Rain down and so people can laugh at him.

    we as fans also know that his english suck! but we will wait pariently for his english’s improvement.
    thats why he chill out a lil and comeback to korea before try in USA again.
    the man know what he’s doing. why dont you just sit back and watch what he will doing.
    and personally i do think he’s always nervous when he has to give interview in english.
    watch MBC rain special documentary, then you will see that he more relax speaking english when he is not under the spotlight, and im sure he will improve, someday.

  76. 76 shinta October 13, 2008 at 10:23 am

    @ ihaterain

    of course, your name says it all..I HATE RAIN! Woooh, that’s no brainer!

    Everyone who hates Rain brings up his alleged “failures”..Well yeah, as much as I appreciate you being concerned of his English..how much did poopseoul pay you? Okay scratch that..well you see, this is how it goes..Poopseoul loves us..She gets N visitors because of that..she does it deliberately..What I just object is: giving misinformations..She used to say Rain’s entertainment company is J-Tunes? J-Tunes??? Now I don’t want any random visitor to say, “yeah Rain owns J-Tunes”..Err, that’s non-existent..

    And mind you, writers can lure readers to empathize with their thoughts..Though it doesn’t affect his loyal supporters, it sure does to people who are neither fans nor haters..It makes Rain look worse..

    So yeah, don’t tell us to stop whining..look who’s talking??!

  77. 77 c’est la vie October 13, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    @ihaterain, you said,

    and you said who cares about his performance in the movie…are you seriously? even if it was a small role he should have used the chance to get his name out as an actor.

    >are you trying to say he hasn’t done his best? not making use the chance? I said I don’t care whether people are interested or not in his performance because of your previous post.

    I agree with you about the English bit, if you guys want to debate, debate sensibly. and you said, who am I to say telling people not saying negative things here? I am who I am. If you want to critisize anybody, MAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Agree guys? Let’s continue then!

  78. 78 JOANA October 13, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    yoo ihate rain - you’ve got a real head trip there, dont you? hehe ^^
    i saw a desperate attempt from you to say rain’s suck, but thank to make Rain’s related blog so interesting.

    eventhough you keep rambling bout his non-exsistence english, just except the fact he’s doing english-speaking movies, not your other artists ^^, and he’s not going to stop just because you say so.
    he can’t speak english, but it’s OK!!!!

  79. 79 iam October 14, 2008 at 7:11 am

    JOANA says: ‘he can’t speak english, but it’s OK!!!!’

    HAHAHA :O) thumb’s up!

  80. 80 piano October 14, 2008 at 9:50 am

    I’d rather have Beyonce’s ‘fat’ ass than Kim Suna’s flat nonexistent one.

    How can you compare some tango performance to a performance of a song that’s about a girl seducing a guy in a club?

    And uh, like every korean R&B wannabe, Rain looks up to Usher. Usher is one of the many western R&B standards korean R&B wannabes look up to.

    Same with Beyonce.

  81. 81 BIGhead October 16, 2008 at 6:45 pm
