Fan account! He was in and out of there like a shot.
According to Cloud bicuckoo (how does she do it?), Rain arrived fashionably late at Astor Hall last night, ducked in the back to avoid fanfare, came straight to the second floor, greeted the guests, and performed. (It’s Raining and Bad Guy, with I’m Coming steps in between, as stated earlier by the Daily Hankook.)
And then he was OUT of there. And she was right behind him.
Thanks so much for sharing your fan account with us all, Cuckoo.

[fan account 02-13] Rain performed for Concept Korea Fashion Collective 2010.
Rain shown up quite late, around 8:50pm. He didn’t like other designers or celebrities coming through red carpet. I believed that this is his choice. I heard that his manager requested the back entrance from security. In fact, this arrangement disappointed a lot of press, such as Channel 4 WNBC and one Chinese channel. (Personally, I don’t get it. This is a very good chance to have more American know you, Rain. Why? JTune, why you have such arrangement) He didn’t see the exhibition which was located on the 1st floor (The Celeste Bartos Forum) at first. He only attended the cocktail party on the 2nd floor. Like the prior news, he performed for all guests. He brought 4 dancers with him (surprised! I guess they came New York one day after Rain).
The first he sang was “It’s Raining”, and then danced part of “I’m Coming” steps. After that, he held simple speech, he said “Hello guys, this is Rain, thanks for inviting me and enjoy your party, thanks.” Music started again, he sang “Bad Guy”. Although I screamed “Rainism”, he probably didn’t hear me though. He only sang 2 songs. He wore black suit with vest, red striped shirt, light brown with white dots tie, brown shoes, brown belt and sunglasses. He finished the performance, and then left the stage from the back exit immediately.
Then, I think he probably went to see exhibition in secret. So, I went to the exhibition hall on the 1st floor. Hahaha! I was right. Yes, he was there. He took off the jacket and sunglasses. He had a few minutes conversation with the key person. At the time, I wanted to take a picture, he got ready to leave. He turned back and exited in back door again.
At that time, I looked at the front entrance; I found 4 cars waiting outside. So, I think Rain would leave soon. So, I stayed near the front entrance. I heard English Teacher talking to the security. He said “I need a driver waiting for Rain outside”. After 2 minutes, Rain came out without sunglasses. He jumped into a white car and left. When he passed by me, I said “BYE Rain”. He moved his head but he couldn’t find me…haha…It was around 9:30pm.
Rain, I am very happy to you in New York. You performed very well tonight. Happy Lunar New Year!

see, this really sounds like Rain was acting in an Ambassorship capacity for his country’s culture, which of course includes “music”. i don’t think his intended purpose was to draw attention to himself and away for the Korean designers (hence his quick in and out appearance and low profile). as u stated in an earlier post, i believe Rain spent the day before, meeting and seeing whoever was necessary at this event, and will probably have meetings on Saturday relating to his own career direction. this event after-all was billed as a fashion extravagaza and Rain was an invited guest on behalf of his country’s fashion industry (apart of Korean’s culture). fans may have expected to much because of the news articles, which always seem to blow things out of porpotion.
