But why? (So many questions, not enough answers.)
WHY do people keep commenting that the movie title Ninja Assassin is redundant? It ISN’T. It would be if it was describing Raizo as a ninja who assassinates (because a ninja IS an assassin, oxymoron, I got that). However, the title is actually describing Raizo as a person who assassinates ninjas. Likewise, he would be called a Bank President Assassin if he were a ninja who killed bank presidents. Or a Farmer Assassin if he were a ninja who killed farmers. In this case, the word isn’t talking about him—it is telling you who he kills. C’mon, think about if for a minute. Sheesh.

WHY is mention of Rain supposedly enlisting soon continuing to pop up everywhere I look, even on Taiwanese travel sites? Could it be that he’s been mixed up with another entertainer? Actor Joo Ji-Hoon (my first time seeing him was in the drama Lucifer: The Devil, he was really chilling!) just went into the army yesterday, after announcing his intention to do so last summer. » HERE is a quick article about Joo on allkpop. And you know the media—it would be so easy for one of them to see Joo Ji-Hoon on some tip sheet, JJH, and think Jung Ji-Hoon. I’m probably grabbing at straws here, but the possibility did cross my mind. (And I desperately want Rain to have at least one more year before he does go. We need a drama or an album to immerse ourselves in while we wait for him to finish his duty.)

WHY did TVXQ—and not Rain—win the voting war over on Ellen DeGeneres’ website? Are they even still allowed to sing together, or are the lawsuits over and done? Not that I have anything against TVXQ; I don’t. I’m just a little surprised that we Clouds didn’t do better, I suppose. Oh well. You can’t win them all.

WHY is everyone on the Korean show “Strong Heart” so determined to get Rain and UEE together as a couple, even Lee Joon and Kang Ho-Dong? Not that I mind or anything… it just seems that what started out as harmless fun has turned into an overwhelming obsession. And I can bet you, now that » UEE and Rain have had The Phone Conversation, people still aren’t going to let it go, not until they get them alone in a restaurant on some date. I hope poor UEE’s ready because I’m thinking she’s about to be set up but good. Bless her heart! LOL! — ^@@^

OH, U KNOW WHAT? I FORGOT TO MENTION Rain also performed for the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, during a celebration given in Korea, following his appointment. it is said that Rain met with the Secretary one on one and was encouraged to continue being a role model for his generation. (i read that on Soompi before they closed their open site and turned it into a forum and members only), not to mention this guy performed before 90,000 people at the Olympics and 60,000 with Jackie Chan’s charity event. so Oprah next.

Why #1) comments made about NA all seem to reflect a sense of un-comprehension to me. not only about the name of the film, but even about the script, the weapons being used, the blood and almost everything. some just didn’t get it, (or maybe they did) hummmm. but still felt they could critic it. (poorly too.) i kept wondering, DO THEY REALLY KNOW THAT THIS IS A MOVIE??? how about this line (that everybody missed “only one NA survived” (that alone to me is saying the one who did survive, would ASSASSINATE the others.
Why #2) yep, confused the two, because JTune never made a comment about Rain going into the military. at least not yet.
Why #3) i am not dissapointed at all. to be honest i didn’t vote for Rain to appear on Ellen’s show. he already appeared on Colbert (which is a notch up from Ellen, (in my opinion), i think if anything he should be on Oprah. because having been among Time 100 list along with Condie Rise and other big names, being known by Mayors in Korea and Taiwan and China politicians and probably most of the worlds media and this recent appointment by his President and the fact that he is most certainly a global star and Oprah’s show being globally shown, that’s where he should appear if the opportunity presents itself.
Why #4) who knows why Korea gets their fill on these kind of things? they wonldn’t let it go about Megan, they kept it going about Hyori, they are forever asking him about girlfriends. just love to keep things stirred up is my guest.

I totally agree with you on question one. Who are these people critiquing a ninja movie when they have no idea what an homage to a ninja movie is supposed to be? How can someone who doesn’t even like or respect the genre critique NA? I have a lot to get off my chest about that, so you know I’ll be doing a post!
Hmm… I wonder if Oprah has thought about having Rain on the show… This is her last year, so she needs to get to it.
Yeah, I think things will always be stirred up in the world of Korean celebrities when it comes to Rain LOL His friends seem to truly adore him and every time you turn around they’re setting him up somehow (to catch garters at weddings, phone calls and all kinds of pranks LOL. So funny. ^@@^
