SBS takes away Rain’s magic…stick

Rain_081114

How unfortunate that Rain couldn’t finish using his magic stick on SBS.

The third largest broadcasting station does it again but this time dissing Magic Feet. During Rain’s performance of “Rainism” at the “1st Water Grand Awards,” the music abruptly stopped and switched to commercial. The backdancers just stood there in disbelief while Rain bowed to his fans before leaving stage. Even though the music eventually came back on, SBS did not apologize.

Check out the credits rolling in the middle of the performance of Rain’s “Rainism” at 1:18

SBS edited the performance but this fan cam will show you what went down at around 4 minutes into the clip.

As a result of the incident, Rain has canceled his appearance on SBS music program, “Inkigayo” on November 16th.

    not a fan of rain but he’s a great dancer. This was just really rude and very unfair after being invited to perform.

    when the music stops you could see that Rain freezes in dat position.. i wonder what is going thru his mind atm. glad that he is well composed and bowed to the audience. was soo looking forward to the dance move at the end.

    not only is it rude to rain, its rude to everyone who works w/ him – his dancers, his staff. They work hard, too and this is what happens? this is very unprofessional of SBS.

    I love Rain and want the best for him, I hope he get’s over this set back quickly. I am really enjoying his new album and all the new videos. He’s been really great, always working hard I just know that one day he’ll achieve his dream fully. I support you fully Rain.

  12. 14 ME November 18, 2008 at 4:02 am

  15. 18 unbelievable! November 18, 2008 at 5:47 pm

    I wonder if SBS is currently run by a bunch of Rain haters!

  16. 19 bella November 19, 2008 at 7:08 pm

    it´s not just rude but totally innaproriate..Also for the thought that SBS did not give an explanation or apoplogize whatsoever— the channel has nowadays gone down the drain… and I hope that they´ll not continue to do so, otherwise we´ll miss a major channel….

    BUT RAIN SHOULD DO SOLMETHING ABOUT THIS… LIKE NOT APPEAR ON ANYTHING RELATED TO SBS OR SOMETHING… but then again, one has to act professional, so I wouldn´t blame him if he´d appear on family outing or inkigayo short after this incident.

  17. 20 Saebin November 19, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    OMG very rude. I hope it was just a mistake they made.

  18. 21 fathin November 26, 2008 at 12:04 am

    wow that was rude and hursh ,you know rain work hard fr his new album and come back after 2 years from his last album what hursh media they have, SBS have said sorry at least this show that SBS dont care what the fan and the audiance think.

  19. 23 360 December 27, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    that’s very rude and unprofessional. they could of at least let him finish his song and then have a talk with him afterward about the certain “explicit” material associated with the song. they knew what rain was doing after all. so it’s all sbs’ fault.

    I LOVE YOU RAIN!
