Word on the street: Rain’s case against Star M is dropped by mutual consent?

As you all know, we are very careful here when it comes to reprinting Rain lawsuit news because we know how sloppy, careless, and ratings-driven the Korean Media can be with their reporting, and we will not be a party to spreading articles about Rain simply because his name is in them. So, do take this with a grain of salt. However…

When » we first heard about Rain deciding to finally fight back against his slanderers after he enlisted, and deservedly so, we were solidly behind him. Likewise, we now hope that he has found compensation and peace of mind. Anyone with sense knows that Rain would never deliberately cheat his fans out of a concert or botch his own long-awaited U.S. debut. How stupid does that sound? ^@@^

Rain’s case against Star M is dropped by mutual consent

Singer Rain lodged a ₩ 4 billion compensation claim against ‘Well Made Star M Inc’ (hereafter referred to as Star M), which was in charge of his World Tour concert in 2006~2007, claiming that it had unilaterally cancelled his concert in USA, but he dropped the suit on the 20th of last month as it was resolved through settlement prior to court.

The details of the damages included ₩ 2.7 billion (Rain paid Click Entertainment, the local subsidiary in Hawaii, due to the cancellation of his concert in the region) and ₩ 1.3 billion (Rain brought an action of libel against Star M and demanded ₩ 1.3 billion in compensation.)

According to an official from Star M, “The case is closed by mutual consent, and Rain and Star M have consented not to disclose the full details of the agreement.”

  2. I’m happy it’s over, JiHoon don’t need more drama in his life. Now it’s the moment to retake his life and I’m sure he don’t want any burdens from the past to keep getting in his way. There’s a clean path now and he’s ready to buildup from there. Go baby, follow your dreams! 😀

  3. Taking into account the “grain of salt” I’ll say one thing. If the report is true, then I would take it to mean that Bi has had enough public drama for now. He only wants to get back to doing what he does and that’s entertain, so I can totally see him saying……”hey dudes/dudettes let’s just end this.”

    Hopefully all parties involved have indeed reached a mutual understanding and everyone can now move on to bigger and better things.
