Rain about town: The Lotte Hotel Seoul.

•October 22, 2010 • 2 Comments

[South Korea]  Back in September of 2009, when Lotte DF was in the throes of the “So I’m Loving You” campaign, if you’d been walking down the sidewalk in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu (Seoul City)… you might have paused, looked up, and seen JiHoon decorating Korea’s most prestigious hotel—The Lotte Seoul.

A real martial artist speaks up: The Choson Ninja speaks on Rain and Master Sho.

•October 22, 2010 • 5 Comments

Korean karate and stealth arts stylist Choson Ninja reviews Ninja Assassin—and LIKES it.  A LOT.  So stick that in your pipes and smoke it, haters.  Bwahahaha.

And, in his laid-back way, Choson gives us some funny moments imitating the NA characters as well.  “Go now.”  I tell you, he had me doubled over.  What a sense of humor, and he wasn’t half-bad!

I wouldn’t piss him off, though.  Seeing as » he throws bo-shuriken like THIS.  (a behind the back shot!)  And like » THIS.  Man, I’d hate to be that can.  And his foreign collection looks like » THIS.  I’ll be calling him MR. Choson, thank you. 🙂

Enjoy, all…!

I am really jone-zin’ on Rain performances today.  So just bear with me, friends.  Thanks!

Here is some 2008 Golden Awards, one of my favorite Rain performances, where he, KyuSang, and Gori sexed everybody up and then all the Men came out and THREW DOWN HARD.  I mean, dancing doesn’t get much better than that.  How did Rain not throw his back out during that dance break?? Plus, here’s something from our own home soil, Legend of Rainism Las Vegas 2009.  Where once again, Rain and the Men are kicking it like there’s no tomorrow.

(Of course, all the Legend of Rainism I could want is over on our LOR page.  So I’m set, y’all.)

It has been announced that MBLAQ’s November comeback will be temporarily postponed.

MBLAQ’s agency J.Tune Entertainment officials told Newsen over a phone call on the 19th, “There has been some changes to the November comeback. This is to devote and prepare for a more complete and mature album from the heart and soul.”

The MBLAQ members’ change of hairstyle and transformation in appearance lately captured the fans’ attention. Fans increased in expectation and anticipation, “The hairstyle change looks like comeback is coming soon.” However, officials said, “They only tried a simple transformation for once,” and “The hairstyle change has nothing to do with a comeback.”

The officials also added, “The exact time of the comeback has not been decided. But it looks like it will be around next year…. It would be great if you could wait as long as it takes.”

Fans are showing increasing regret in MBLAQ’s delayed comeback. Meanwhile, Lee Joon is currently participating in KBS 2TV teen drama “Jungle Fish 2.”

And someone had a Rain-eating-and-drinking fetish that day, obviously.  Kekeke! No problem here.  I’m down with it.  (especially when he’s so pretty doing it, unlike most of us)

He was loving that ramen in L.A., huh?  (he commented how good and spicy hot it was)  Yum.  And inhaling the aroma of fresh donuts so that he didn’t get the calories by eating them while waiting to finish the KB Card Leather Style shoot.  LOL!

He doesn’t deserve it.

Rain does, however, deserve a chance to refute the allegations under a subject line that hasn’t automatically taken Mr. Kim’s stance as fact.

10asia 10/19/2010 —

Rain denies holding gambling debt

Korean singer and actor Rain has denied charges of failing to pay back money he borrowed from a Korean-American for gambling in the United States three years ago.

The response came just hours after Korean sports daily Sports Seoul broke news yesterday that IT entrepreneur and concert promoter Andrew Kim had sued the 28-year-old superstar for not repaying him 150 thousand dollars he used to cover his gambling debt and finance further gambling at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas in June 2007.

“There was no form of financial transaction whatsoever between Rain (and Kim),” Rain’s legal representative Yoon & Yang LLC said in a statement issued through his agency J.Tune Entertainment.

Kim had dealt on financial terms only with Star M, holder of the rights to Rain’s 2007 world tour, while Kim himself said there is no document to prove that Rain borrowed money, Yoon & Yang further stated.

While Kim had admitted in the news report that he does not have a promissory note to back his argument, he said it was because “he is not someone without money, he is a star” and the two “were friends as well as business partners,” as also mentioned in the suit he has filed to court.

The suit also said Rain has a “heavy gambling habit” which showed in how he “repeatedly placed bets upwards of $10,000” and Kim then told Sports Seoul that Rain visited casinos in Las Vegas up to four times in 2007, including a week immediately before his LA concert in June.

Yoon & Yang rebutted this accusation as well, explaining that Rain did visit Las Vegas before his June 30 concert to meet with acquaintances and attend his own birthday party they prepared for him but he dropped by the party only briefly because that is when a suit over his cancelled Hawaii show emerged.

In addition to the gambling claims, Kim accused Rain of trying to avoid serving Korea’s two-year mandatory military service by obtaining a green card in the U.S. “Kim arranged and paid for Rain to consult with an immigration attorney…” the suit said.

However, Yoon & Yang shrugged off Kim’s allegation as “intolerable slander” and instead affirmed it was to discuss on his working visa in the U.S., compulsory for the actor to expand his career to the country.

“It is common sense that he would not sell off the reputation he has worked so hard to build up on over the past ten years by avoiding military service,” the statement read.

Rain had received a notice to enter the military this year but the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) granted the date to be deferred till next year for reasons relating to his singing and acting career.

“This is no more than a fraudulent lawsuit through which Andrew Kim is marring Rain’s status by abusing his celebrity status and attempting to gain advantage in his suit over the cancellation of the LA show,” the statement ended by saying.

Rain’s LA show had failed to take place over several conflicts between Rain’s agency and Kim’s company which resulted in a lawsuit filed against the star, but a court had deemed Rain does not hold any responsibility for the cancellation.

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has been considered one of the most successful Korean stars in the entertainment business throughout Asia since his debut in 2002.

A Runaway/Fugitive Plan B viewing primer, effective 10/19, for viewers who are not in S. Korea:

* Internationally: As of September 29 (premiere night), a non-subbed livestream is available on the KBS Able website.  Choose 2TV for viewing, which is dependent on your connection speed and/or browser (Internet Explorer seems to work best).  FREE

* U.S. and Canada: As of October 6th, at English-based website KBSWORLDi online (KBS America), English-subbed episodes can be viewed on demand. Special Rules Apply: you must purchase points with which to watch dramas on the site, but prices are quite affordable and episodes are presented within a reasonable time frame.  PAY

* U.S. and Canada: As of October 14th, DramaFever.com is carrying English-subbed Runaway: Plan B episodes for online viewing.  As with all dramas there, episodes are immediately offered to paid members, and then made available for free viewing soon after.  FREE/PAY  (Episodes 1, 2,  and 3 are now FREE.)

* U.S.: As of October 20th, on Korean TV channels carried by local, cable, and satellite providers in the U.S.A., English-subbed KBS World episodes will air on U.S. television Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 am and 2:50 pm.  Please check with your local providers.  As we understand it… this same set-up is going on internationally.  If you have a TV channel in your country that carries Korean TV with KBS World programming, Runaway/Fugitive should already be airing on your television sets.  COST UP TO LOCAL PROVIDER

Many other ways to watch the show have popped up in the three weeks since the premiere, as many ways as there are constellations in the sky, it seems!  The ones listed here are concerning official (legal) outlets, the ones that will benefit Rain in terms of ratings and revenue.  After all, if he doesn’t bring in money and numbers, we won’t be seeing him in dramas and projects for very long.

We tend to forget that sometimes.

The nice thing is, with so many different ways to watch the show now (above and below board, haha), and with fans across the Rain Blogosphere sharing and helping other fans with links, uploads, and sites, the groups of people who can’t watch JiWoo do his thing should be getting smaller and smaller.

That makes us very happy.  No Rain fan should have to miss his portrayal of JiWoo because of location or lack of funds.

Get on over there and flood the place with comments and support for Fugitive and for Rain.  Make it an active, happy site.  And if it’s still difficult to comment, at least blow up the Page View numbers so they know we’re there.  JiHoon needs the love, especially right now.

[ETA press release link] It just wouldn’t be a picnic without the ants.

•October 18, 2010 • 19 Comments

You know, those pesky critters that simply won’t let you eat in peace?  Ever?

Yet another frivolous lawsuit, by the same man.

We came across these “court documents” way back at the end of JUNE on a questionable scandal rag.  We couldn’t tell if they were real or not (note the dramatic prose in place of proper legalese, and how they were filed on Rain’s birthday), there was nothing to support them, and they quickly went away with no one taking the bait.  We sure didn’t (take the bait OR spread the maliciousness).

And so we waited just to see if they would magically resurface during an opportune moment, say, after Fugitive: Plan B‘s premiere, when Rain was riding success?  And well here they are.  What a surprise.

(And by the way, my heavens, what a crime it is to go gambling in Vegas in a VIP room, and enjoy it.  More than once.  Does that qualify as an addiction?  Does that qualify for a stoning?)

There’s something more going on here.  Celebrities get sued every day of the week, but the situation with this one man’s repeated lawsuits has degenerated into an out-and-out attempt to assassinate Rain’s character.

That is what’s so disturbing… this person has gone into the gutter, and we’re not even sure he’s alone.  If you know what we mean.  — Stephe ^@@^

Allkpop 10/18/2010 — J.Tune Entertainment’s official response to Rain’s lawsuit

Rain has been hit with an untimely lawsuit while busy with TV drama “Fugitive Plan B“, accusations of military dodging and gambling habits are now all the talk surrounding this famous world star.

Although J.Tune Entertainment had few words in response, they have come out with an official statement regarding the lawsuit.

Rain’s agency stated, “Andrew Kim is an assiduous [insidious? ^@@^] man who has filed a lawsuit since 2007 against Rain and was engaged in litigation against Rain’s 2007 LA World Tour cancellation.  Since the case has been disadvantageous to him, he is now resorting to these malicious allegations.”

The agency added, “We are currently looking into ways to end this false claim and will counter sue for damages.”

Dearest JiHoon:

Seneca once said, “The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.”  And don’t forget Virgil, who said, ” You have endured worse things; God will grant an end even to these.”

Evil will reap what it sows.  But you’ve got to hang in there to see that happen.  You’re not a victim; stand tall.

In your darkest moments, just squint towards the light and you will see all of us there.

English Translation: rain bird @rain-eu.

More than 100 Japanese women fans gathered to see Hanryu star Rain shooting KBS 2TV’s new drama ‘The Fugitive Plan B’.

According to the drama production on the 17th, more than 100 Japanese women fans came to the drama set in Kyungkido’s Pajoo in the early morning on the 16th of October. On the day, the shooting of car chasing action sequences between ‘Ji Woo’ (Rain) and 3 polices were done.

The production expressed, “Japanese fans have visited Korea to see Rain shooting the drama. Modu Tour, a tour agency, has arranged a tour package to give his fans a good chance for them to see Rain through the set. The tour agency has received more applications than expected, so each itinerary has been made out and these visitors have opened the tour package.”

According to the production, one woman fan from Osaka was quoted as saying. “It was very nice to see Rain’s realistic actions. I was worried Rain would be wounded because there were a lot of scenes of fierce fighting during the shooting.”

Actually, Rain fell out of the roof of a car during a confrontation he had with his opponent martial arts actor. Then, staffs with the main martial arts director, ‘Park Joo Chun’, immediately ran towards him and looked at his condition and found that he sustained only a minor injury, so they were able to reopen the shooting.

But, that elicited exclamations from the audience while groans ‘Ah’ were heard everywhere.

With the appearance that is worthy of the name ‘World Star’, Rain turned remained time to politely greet his Japanese fans who showed interest in his every movement.
