Rain loses in court

rain loses
Rain’s magic stick was of no use when the Hawaiian courts ruled that he and ex-management company, JYP Entertainment had committed fraud and breach of contract. Together, Rain and JYPE must pay up 8.086 million USD in damages to local promoter, Click Entertainment.

At least it’s not 40 million USD.

Out of the 8 million USD, Rain is responsible for more than 3 million USD and JYPE has to pay the rest.

What’s a few million for a “world star” like Rain? All he has to do a few more CFs and make a few more albums to cover the damages.

No biggie, right?

Rain abruptly canceled only a few days before his first stop in his U.S. tour on June 17th 2007.

      yeah, funny thing is i dont see his old contenders on TIME online polling no more, you know.. like Stephen or that japanese guy. it’s great he’s still actually there on the top 10, there’s no asian name spotted.

      ah, and i just know that EXAMINER covered this Hawaii news. it’s like the news was everywhere on the net and papers, i have no idea he’s that famous in the state. i mean.. Americans care to find out what happen to him at least. of course, with Ninja Assassin having a big potential to top the box office, i think they have such curiosity to him.

    I thought that “CLICK” Company is Rain’s Company. So that mean he did get paid from JYP $3.4Million, right?
    Any way VOTE 4 RAIN(BI)

    it’s okay :)
    at least he shouldn’t pay $40 billion.
    3 million is nothing to him..

    after all these court and sues thingy, he should learn for his future that he has to be a professional and responsible artist :D

    at least one is over …it doesn’t hurt him that much but still,
    3M is 3M , -a slashed out of his hard-earned-money,(not happy about it , but what can we do?..it needs to be settled)
    On the positive note : good news is, it’s a relief for Rain :)
    … if he’s feel good about it, then, his fans will do the same.
    just regard it as: when something has been taken away from you, it’ll be reflenish in abundance. ^^

    i’m always in, for the support!

    I know Rain must be feeling really low and down right now, BUT WE ARE HERE STILL SUPPORTING YOU & WILL SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY. The best thing for you to do Rain is TO HIRE ANOTHER LAWYER AND BE SEPARATE FROM JYP. PROJECTIONS IN COURT ARE VERY IMPORTANT. Don’t let them lump you together with the bad guy. To JYP IS ALREADY ATTACHED THE STIGMA. (more on this later….really busy & quite stressed too these past days) But LUV YOU RAIN…still PRAYING FOR YOU…and MAY GOD SEND YOU PEACE IN YOUR HEART THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING. WE BELIEVE IN YOU….FIGHTING JI-HOON!!!

    As a parting note to Rain: We, your fans in the San Fernando Valley area and I, will continue to support you and your many endeavors for as long as it takes, because we truly care and give importance to the numerous times you entertain us with your songs and dance. Your performances are such fun to watch. Your quench for work is worth admiring for. You are a source of inspiration to many Asians who try very hard to imitate you. You are a good model to young people. At your age you have achieved so much that no other Korean has. So, continue with the good work and rest assure that we will do the same to you.

    i believe in rain .

    Poor Rain. =/ I really don’t think that artists have THAT much say at their concerts. If management says they’re not allowing you on… I don’t think you can go on. JYP would have probably sued him for breaching something if he had… he was between a rock and a hard place, me thinks.

    HAHAHAHAHA;
    I LOVE HOW YOU KEEP REFERING TO HIM AS MR.MAGIC STICK.
