» [images][2 vids] Posts abound: 비 also wants you to see that he’s on V-Live.tv! (12/3/2015)
» LINK: V-Live TV’s official YouTube Channel
That’s right! Rain has a brand new channel on Naver Corp.’s V-Live real-time broadcasting app for celebs, and he’s been giving it a right good workout. 😀
Soooo… download the V App from the App Store or Google Play, subscribe to Rain’s channel, and watch his 비쇼 (Rain V Show) live broadcasts and replays sometimes subbed in English. You must have the app on your phone to watch and chat with the man LIVE. Yup! What a great idea. 🙂 ❤ ^@@^
PLAY the video below ↓ to watch when Rain surprised us on our V-apps early on Christmas Eve and took us backstage at PSY’s concert in Seoul! It was dope!!

Cloud USA 
Just a general question! Would you happen to know the difference between buying VIP tickets vs VVIP tickets? Do you think there would be any chance of meeting Rain backstage if we were to purchase the VVIP tickets? 😝 Just wondering in anticipation of his tour possibly coming to North America sometime soon

Hi, Karen. 🙂 I’ve never bought concert tickets for overseas shows, so I can’t speak from experience. But as far as I know, the difference is usually the perks that come along with the ticket, and there isn’t a set difference. It depends on the concert organizer, the artist(s), and their management and it always varies. Sometimes there are no fan perks and it’s just about a better seat. Sometimes, if an official fan base is large enough, the concert promoter will set aside blocks of seating for them and that’s where the VIP and VVIP comes in.
I don’t think the VIP/VVIP thing is done at concerts in the States as much as at concerts in Asia (if at all). When Terri and I went to SM Town at Madison Square Garden, the price of the ticket was determined by the location of your seat and there were no fan perks included. (The concert was AWESOME and we didn’t care!^^) As far as I know, that’s the way all of Rain’s concerts in the U.S. have been organized — tickets priced according to location, with no perks.
Rain isn’t comfortable with his fans being separated from their hard-earned money like that, paying just to meet him or get an autograph or a picture, especially with what they already spent for tickets, so he tries to do things like high-touches and such during some concerts and fan meetings for free.
But, you never know — things change sometimes. We’ll have to wait and see how his North American Squall pans out… 🙂

Ok, you know what. I’m starting to “feen” again. Somebody pass the message to JiHoon that I don’t like to “feen.” LOL. For some reason, I’m all “Squall-ed” out. I’m ready for his new drama. I need some Bi in my life on a weekly basis. Miss that speaking voice.
Ask me again about being “Squall-ed” out when he finally gives us some tour dates in the U.S. I will have to amend my previous statement.
