Rain returns home with his ‘seoul’ full of joy.
Asian news source Newsen reported today that Rain, fresh from being honored with the Biggest Baddest Star Award at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards (he is the first Korean to receive it), was given a bouquet upon his arrival at Incheon Airport on June 8 at 5 pm. He won the award on June 6th at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, LA, USA, over Angelina Jolie, Channing Tatum, Chris Pine, and Sam Worthington.
Rain’s feelings right after receiving the award: “At last my time and efforts for the Ninja Assassin shooting seem to have come to fruition. I’d like to thank all of my fans for their ongoing support and help.”
His natural and realistic performance in NINJA ASSASSIN appealed to the world’s moviegoers. At the Green Planet Movie Awards back in March, he snagged Best International Entertainer (Asia) and the Asian Cultural Ambassador of the Year, and was also named one of the 10 Outstanding Asians in Hollywood.
For now, Rain will jump into rehearsals for his upcoming ZEPP concert tour in Japan, which will start later this month.
RAIN:
“The sort of thing that you would only see on a simulated news [spot] really happened. [He’s referring to a commercial spot he did a few years ago, in Australia, in which he portrayed himself winning a prestigious award in the US. ^@@^] I’d like to thank all my fans. When I was named Biggest Badass Star, I almost cried, but I smiled. I didn’t expect I would win the award. Rather, I [expected] Channing Tatum would do it. But to my surprise, my name was called and I was mightily pleased. Everything seems to me like a dream.”
“The organizers offered to engrave my name on the popcorn-shaped trophy, so I left it with them.”
“I’ve won an awesome action award called Badass, and the word bears many meanings. One of them [involves the] hips. It was said that everybody was having fun when I joked with American humor using the word and [referred to my own] hips saying I had worked out. But the truth is I’ve [always] exercised to keep the hips fit.”
