Weather forecast: Heavy Rain in Manila.
The Philippine Star (philstar.com) 9/11/2010 —
MANILA, Philippines – “Since this is my first time to perform in the Philippines, you can expect anything,” South Korean R&B phenomenon and superstar Rain told Manila reporters last Thursday when asked what Filipino fans can expect from his one-night concert tonight dubbed “Intensity” with Korean boy band group U-Kiss and special guest Christian Bautista.
“Anything” can mean that Rain will lose the shirt and bare his famous washboard abs and display the fatal charisma that has reportedly even charmed Hollywood sex symbol, former Transformers star Megan Fox. Fans in the front row seat, who can get really close, can expect to be “drenched” by Rain’s flying sweat landing in the middle of a hot, sexy dance. Or see how passionate fans hurl panties on the stage.
“Anything” can also mean witnessing Rain perform expert dance moves like leaps through puddles while performing one of his hit songs.
Whatever there is to expect in Rain’s show tonight, one thing is for sure, it’s going to be the best because Rain is one of the best contemporary pop performers in the world, impressive in dancing, singing and acting, as millions of his fans attest like Jennifer Pangilinan, a member of Cloud Philippines, Rain’s official fan club, who is dying to see Rain perform in the flesh.
“Just to breathe the same air as he breathes is enough for me. I’ve been waiting for this chance for a long, long time” says Pangilinan, who first admired Rain in the drama “Full House” with popular Korean actress Song Hye-Gyo when it was aired in the Philippines in 2005.
Tonight’s concert will be an unforgettable treat for his fans not only in the Philippines but for other Asians who will come for the show….

The closing remark of Ms. Esteves’ article did indeed catch my eye. She wrote:
“The goal of truly breaking out as a sensation in the U.S. does not wither, as Rain is more passionate and driven as ever and his mantra is always to try to do his best every time.”
It will happen, Ji-Hoon. With you working that end and your U.S. fans working this one, we are bound to meet in the middle one day. There isn’t a doubt in my mind.
