Rain on KBS World.
While Arirang Global TV is pretty much The Bomb (amazing) these days with the strides it has taken to connect us all to Korean culture, it still doesn’t extend everywhere yet, here in the US. And that’s where KBS World comes in. KBS World, available with many cable and satellite packages, though you do have to pay extra for it, (and included free in local programming if you’re lucky enough to live in an area with a huge Korean population, like our Gwinnett County) is especially for English speakers, and it broadcasts current KBS1 and KBS2 programming hardsubbed (a good 99% of it). This was my doorway into K-drama, K-entertaiment, Rain’s world, and real Korea news and docudrama, and it absolutely changed my life. I’ll be getting it back this summer, and I cannot wait.
Here is a recent entertainment news spot covering Rain’s 2010 MTV Movie Award nomination. (I believe the show itself is Entertainment Weekly, but I’m not sure.) Enjoy. — Stephe ^@@^
