“Oh man–I hope he doesn’t throw any punches!”

“Or… or stars!”  “Or nunchucks!”  “Or swwwwords!”  The way Al McGhee and John Delia of » Your Entertainment Ticket clowned around before McGhee’s interview with Rain last year had us cracking up.  Crazy guys.  Pretending Rain was going to go Ozunu on them. Haha!

Enjoy this old interview (trained for eight months, chicken breasts, vegetables, no salt, no sauce), Clouds; we think Rain did a nice job in it, all things considered (bright lights, cameras, hoards of Americans watching him, and an American interviewer though he wasn’t English-fluent… how nerve-wracking and scary).  The movie clips are good, too.

People were really hard on Rain during that whole battery of English interviews he did when Ninja Assassin premiered, when what they should have done was try to put themselves in his place.  He could have kept himself distant from us by insisting on an interpreter; instead he challenged himself and did the best he could with what he had. How many other celebs would have dared do that?

No one but our Ji-Hoon.  — Stephe ^@@^

  1. He speaks the language very well. I like hearing his accent too; I don’t want him Americanized as that’s not how I found him. I loved the way he said “8”; his tongue didn’t do right LOL but it was super sexy!

    • That makes two of us. It’s his Korean blood and accent and mannerisms that I absolutely love.

      Heck, we can’t speak our own language right, or even spell it half the time. But we expect foreigners to get it perfectly, right? LMAO
