Rain Wins “Korean Artist of the Year” Award in China :excited:

Singer Rain received the “Korean Artist of the Year” award at the MTV-CCTV Mandarin Music Honors that was held July 24 at the Workers Stadium in Beijing, China. In the finale of the ceremony Rain performed his hit songs “Bad Guy” and “It's Raining.”

The Mandarin Music Honors, held annually by MTV China and CCTV and now in its seventh year, is the largest music festival in China. It usually features top artists from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and the United States.

Rain was invited to the ceremony as a guest performer representing Korea. His award was presented to him by another top Korean singer/actress, Jang Nara, who has gained enormous popularity in China recently.

MTV China chose nominees for the “Korean Artist of the Year” award from a pool of artists whose music videos have been shown on its channel the most during the year.

Praise the (enter chosen deity), I am finally caught up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought it would be this tiring, but I have finally done it! Ah, warning, this will be a LOONG post, brace yourself.

Also, I have posted my pics of Bi from my HK encounter.

Where shall I begin?

OMG Rain won the China award!!! :excited: Way to go, I knew he could do it!!!!!

Yay Vicki, you stopped by! :focuses microscope: I see you Unnie, you can't sneak away undetected.

Thanks Eiko for all your translating :hugz: You're a gem! Hehe, one of Ji Hun's from his "treasure" :D He's so cute I can't wait to see the SINA clips! The hosts were so stupid, geez.
He left after one song// Hope this doesn't affect his popularity.
Oh it didn't, trust me and the others who have frequented HK since his infamous stay. Like they said he's a "Little Korean King."

Swee!!!:kisschee: I have missed spazzing with you terribly! Who else but us understands the sex appeal of the tiny eyes?
My friend at HK told me that over there is SO HOT now...mean Bi go there in right time to pour the rain
Oh my goodness, the humidity is soaring! It has been raining late at night and early in the morning though. Must be getting ready for Bi's appearance.

Ying -Even though my mom has finally found out about Bi...she thinks I like guys w/ small eyes
Hey, there is nothing wrong with that! Zorie and I inadvertently started a 'We love tiny eyed guys' club. Hehe, you should join.

Adeline - awww....too bad you didn't take pics of your mom, that is so funny. Hehe, so your mom and grandma are fans now too? :brows: This could come in handy, think of the benefits. Your mom buying Rain material for her and then more gifts for you :rubs hands maliciously:

Thanks Jess for all the translated articles as well. I love the part in pt. 3 of the Sina interview where the fan says 'A rain shower brings a refreshing coolness to an overpoweringly hot summer' :lolabove:

I've never heard of "jiu yang" maybe b/c I've never greeted anybody famous!

Swee ~ So nice sking so smooth like a girl
Your grandma said that! :laugh: Haha, you're such a fan girl! :hugz: At least I try to hid my half-crazed, over-drooled look in front of my family!

Awww Pam, I love your new banner! Just started watching Sangdoo. I'm convincing my best friend to join me - maybe I can flood her w/ his sexiness and make her drool crazy like me!

Ekyec - haha, I saw him at the mall too! :highfive: The touch magazine that you were drooling about, actually the cover is an old Men's Uno pic. I can't believe they didn't even get an original pic!

Zorie you're so lucky! I searched for the Rainy Day Concert DVD in Hk but couldn't find it anywhere! (Although I did see a shop that got my hopes up everytime I passed it b/c of a massive poster ad feat. the concert :ranting: )Thanks for the info though. Hehe :imagines nutritionist's reaction to Bi's eating craze in HK:

Tess for the rest time in HK, I just relaxed, went sightseeing, and shopped.

christalx - The reason why you can't put up pics is b/c you're not posting in a format that the computer recognizes. When you post an image start off w/ then the hyperlink followed by

Actually there is a feature on jc.net that formats the link for you (click on the scenic button, then paste in the hyperlink to the pic, and click the scenic button once more)

Say what?!?! Lil' Kim is serving time! That's whack, I feel so bad for Ji Hunnie, it's not fair to him.

OMG, a movie? Haha, now that would be interesting.

It says in one of the interviews that he is an avid supporter of LV, what is that? Haha :lolabove: Even the press calls him sexy boy!

Zorie after reading your post, I wanna see this even more! Am I the only one here who hasn't seen it?

What's the deal w/ this Patya/Jecka (mainly Patya) v. Tessica war over Vicki? :dodges verbal grenades and runs for cover: Let Vicki decide, she's a big girl. It's her choice with whom she chooses to shower w/ spazzes!

Tess unnie, you are too funny!!! You make a dongseng gasp for air with all your witty prose! :ohmy:
I know!! Give Patya some of Bi's undies ~ he's a fan of briefs like another certain someone :shifty: (He can also fill it! :whistle:)

OMG he's coming to the US! He would NEVER come to where I'm gonna be! NEVER! Maybe I can save up and buy a plane ticket to his concert!

Patya ~ that is Vicki! Surprised or do you want in on the action too? Spread the love, don't be a hater, esp. in a Bi thread :rasp:

Yes, I should stay in HK 'til Oct. I wanna see him in concert soooo bad!

LILY!!!!!!!:hugz::kisschee: AHHHHH!!! You're back!!!:bounce: So sorry to hear about your troubles. :flowers: Aja aja hwaiting!

*side note: did anyone notice on this week's X-man how Sungie looked into the camera and said hwaiting? :love: *giggles* what a handsome dork!*

Lovers in Paris is a weekly Vietnamese variety show. You speak Viet? Or is this also the name of a Korean soap opera?

Teresa..it's my family shop. After my dad passed away i'm the obe who handle it cos my sis have her own job. That's why i hired this damn shop assistant to help me manage it cos i have to go to campus too. And i didn't called the police about this. Actually i feel kinda sad for her but also mad at her..so i decided to let go..but i'll never ever employ her again. :ranting:

Jenna bean :excited: i miss you girl.. :hugz: gonna chat with you if we meet again in MSN. Lovers in Paris is korean drama starring Lee Dong Gun who i currently in love with :love: some people also called it Romance in paris.

Grace..i watched WS too and my comment is..kinda boring..lol..although i like BYJ but i don't like that series that much.

gracecherry

07-27-2005, 05:08 PM

lily > hehe, yea agree, some parts of it is really boring, but those twists section really, sorta.... touched me. aww~ i m so easily touched. i love k dramas. oh gosh, i watched full house just now, n i got to say, i m also falling in love with it.

Rain , is just utterly, indescribably cute in there, i love this one part.... where.... he ate ice cream with jie eun...at the swing. and when he put the ice cream into his mouth, he put on this really wide boyish smile. i almost melted~ kakaka

Lovers in paris? hmm, another new series? i m kinda blur about new releases at the korean industry. hehe, i only pick up bits here n there from u guys.hehe. is it nice?? who is lee dong gun? and how cute is he?? rite now, i think, well. rain is so cute.

akane_chou

07-27-2005, 07:11 PM

hey people, my name's alicia... i'm pretty new to Rainism. i just started watching full house. i'm only at the part where she lost the red recorder she got for her birthday...

jessica

07-27-2005, 08:07 PM

lily: aigoo >< hope you work out your problems and get everything back on track :hugz: you can never be too careful with ppl who deals with bookkeeping ><
AAH! you got the dvd already?! :excited: don't you just love all those extra stuff that comes with that DVD :love:
i didn't watch Lovers in Paris. i heard it was good at the beginning, but the ending wasn't that great =/ so you like lee dong gun more in this drama, but not in Sangdoo? :D

tes: yes, that's the award he wanted to win! now he won the GRAND SLAM because he won in the "best korea artist award" for Bangkok and Japan and now China!!! :excited: he's unstoppable <333

this will be broadcasted on tv in asia i think. ppl who have cable should keep a watchful eye on this!

grace: it's almost always FH that brings ppl to this thread :D you should watch some of his performances and see what a great performer he is also ^^ let us know if you have any questions about him :happy:
hehe, you'll fall hopelessly in love with FH! he has more cute expressions in store...and you'll just die when he sings the 3 bears song! :love:

jenna bean: yaaay, you're finally back :hugz: i'll go check in the pics thread after this post :excited:

:welcome: alicia! you should try listening to his songs and watch his performances too =D stop by this thread whenever you want to spazz with us ^^

jbalibean

07-27-2005, 09:48 PM

*huggles Jess and Lily* Yeah, I'm back. Like I mentioned earlier, I felt embarrassed about coming back because of the poorness of my pics :cry:

Come to think of it, I have heard of this drama, but usually I just hear about the Viet entertainment show. It would be funny to hear one of the contestants sing Bi, but after hearing the imitation(s) of Jay :bigyuck:

Grace, hello there! Welcome to this wonderful thread! Same goes for Alicia. It's impossible to resist Rain, esp. in Full House, he just shines. You're love will grow deeper as the show continues on. Oh, and watch for the shower scene! :brows:

Alicia ~ I remember seeing you around the forums. I remember that part. hehe, and then her reaction to Bi! You should watch some of his perfs., he knows how to put on a show!

gracecherry

07-28-2005, 05:56 AM

jessica > yea yea, actually ive seen his mtv asia performance, i didnt noe him that time, was waiting for jay's performance.hahha, when he danced, i was like, whoa....this guy is such a dancer. gosh... hehe....and i DLed a few clips of him, awww, the photoshoot of tfj ( or something like that ), was OMG. he was so gorgeous in those poses. LOL, but the gurl, really isnt pretty enuf for rain, i think.

jbalibean >yes, i noe that i wil go deeper, seeing that this is jus the beginning and i m so, over drooling aredy.haha. i saw the shower scene aredy. ehehe, wat a body he has. hahah

yes wil sure ask anything i need to noe about rain, oh ya.... how bout his family? his parents or siblings are around??

retrobaby

07-28-2005, 09:41 AM

jennabean nah, my mom and granny aren't fans...yet :laughing:

guys, is Bi coming to Hong Kong for concert this year (2005) or next year (2006)? because i have this friend who said she might be able to get good tickets for his concert which is supposed to be in october of this year!!!! please tell me this is true!! :excited:

jbalibean

07-28-2005, 06:11 PM

Actually Adeline, he's supposed be coming in December of this year, not October. Hehe, so lucky! You'll have a blast!

Grace, you can call me Jenna, no need for formalities here. :happy: I know wasn't he gorgeous in those tbj ads! :drool: I don't think the girl is pretty either, and her legs are too skinny! He doesn't need a girl, he can sell those clothes by himself! Oh hehe, yeah drooling is part of the fangirl process, you'll get used to it, Bi never disappoints. Have you seen the Rainy Day Concert clip? I will happily re-upload it for you, if you wish.

As for family, he has a father and an older sister. His mother died a few years ago, I think from diabetes, right before he became famous.

jessica

07-29-2005, 10:55 AM

i thought the concert in October is not confirmed yet :? :glug:

hmm, i'm pretty sure Bi has a younger sister instead of an older one. i remember in one of his speeches, he mentioned a younger sister :hmm:

Adeline: AAAH!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO TAKE TONS OF PICS FOR US SINCE YOU'RE GETTING GOOD SEATS!!! OMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: :bounce:

08-01-2005, 07:15 AM

Grace ~ :agrees with Jess: There should be no problem with the link, b/c they explain in English step-by-step how to set up the account, plus there are pictures to guide you along the way.

Sure I'll reupload the concert clips for you, Swee, and other new fans. Hehe, I love those tbj ads ~ I had one as a banner before the Shinhwa week started.

Yeah *sigh* FH memories! :rolleyes: At first I thought it was conceited of him to have his own poster (esp. that big!) in his room, but it grew on me ~ now it's just too sexy! :bleh:

Zorie ~ I'm guessing your talking about "Cruel Love", there were problems with production, and now it won't be airing at all.

Swee ~ How could I forget those plump juicy twins (lips) of his! :tongue: Hehe ~ that's why I love my poster, his tiny eyes are gazing straight out at me 24/7! Oh, and he doesn't have a brother. Hehe, but if he did.... :brows: ..... :whistle:

Since I'm here, I might as well answer your questions.
*Er...how many Bi fans are there here? :? I dunno...a fair few. :D
*Bi's birth name is Jeong Ji Hun. He started using 'Bi' when he entered the entertainment industry. It's sort of like a stage name, and it means 'Rain'.
If you want to learn more about him, just check out the first page of this thread. There's a short bio of him.
*Check out the piccies thread HERE (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10829). There are lots of pics of him there and some wallpapers too. Happy viewing! :happy:

Some exciting news about Ji Hunnie's invitation to attend the MTV Music Video Awards in Florida this month! :excited:

Rain, to Participate in MTV Video Music Award as an Asian Representative

Going beyond Asia expanding his activity range onto the world, Rain is scheduled to participate in the ‘MTV Video Music Awards’ as an Asian representative. Rain’s relevant company person said “Rain is invited as an Asian representative to the ‘MTV Video Music Award’ which is held in Miami Florida coming 28th of August.”

He is to participate singularly as a VIP in Asia. It is very extraordinary for an Asian musician to be invited to the Awards. It was reported that only Rain and a European would be invited to the awarding ceremony except the musicians in America.

“I am so honored to think of being with Usher, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, and such others,” Rain expressed his great delight, “I’d like to go get a camera and go take every picture in there.” It is an unknown quantity whether he will be on stage in the awarding ceremony. Yet his concrete schedule and the ‘invitation name’ are presently under discussion, said the person concerned.

The ‘MTV Music Award’ is the event that started since 1987, an annual event that they put things in order as concerns the music videos that have been broadcasted through the mass media and MTV of the year in America.

Last year, Outcast the rapper and Jay-Z received each 4 pieces of trophies, they say. The trophies in the awarding ceremony are called ‘Moon Man’ in a way. P. DD the rapper presides this year.

Those living in the states who will get the broadcast, watch it and tell us if he gets to go on stage!

tes! there you are. i miss having my Bi buddy around :hugz: you beat me to posting up that news =P

omg, it'll be great if he performs also, even though i doubt that'll happen...if he does, i'll have to worry about it being edited :dry: i feel content that he's invited :-) hope he makes it in the American entertainment news! :excited: hmm, only ppl with cable will get to watch that and i don't have it ><...maybe i'll ask my sis to record it for me, if she gets a vcr by then =/

MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT KIM TAE WOO FROM GOD WAS DOING THIS LIVE RADIO SHOW, AND ONE OF THE CORNERS HE PRANK CALLS ANOTHER CELEBRITY. SO KIM TAE WOO CALLED BI (RAIN) AND BI DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS ON AIR SO HE TOLD KIM TAE WOO " I SLEPTED WITH HYORI YESTURDAY" AND SINCE THIS WAS *LIVE* RADIO PROGRAM THE PRODUCERS JUST STARTED TO PUT ON THE MUSIC. THEN PARK JIN YOUNG USED THIS TWO PEOPLE TO TAKE DOWN ALL THE THINGS PEOPLE WRITE ON THE INTERNET. ALSO YOU KNOW THOSE TWO BACK DANCERS THAT PULL DOWN THEIR PANTS ON LIVE TV THEY DID THAT SO THE ATTETION WILL GO TO THEM INSTEAD OF HYORI AND BI. WELL THOUGHT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

How reliable is the schedule thing? :? coz I'm kinda surprised that he and Shinhwa are going to do a concert together...or does the event involve other artistes too? :? It'll be interesting if it does happen....Shinhwa!!!! :excited:

jennabean--> aish! X___X I hope that isn't true...and that some jealous fan of another artiste whom I shall not name...just made that up. :dry:

Jenna > O-M-G, i m just as dissapointed as you are reading that piece of news. oh gosh, i TRULY hopes its just some.... misunderstanding, some scheme set by anyone. well, usually, when someone is famous, there tends to be some out of nowhere bad news bout em. so....well, that happens to jay so many times too, saying that he showed temper etc, and act like a big star, or flirting with many female artists. argh...those are all craps! i'll not belive the media for that, coz i think, i m positive i know quite well about jay , and wat kinda person he is. as for Bi, i just recently got into him, but...hmm... from the way he presents himself... infront of camera on stage or backstage, or anything, i couldnt feel him being somone, who would behave as in the article. but, hmm.....i know, that we cud never be too certain too, i just hope that its NOT true. awww~ it hurts to even think of what he said. eeeew.

jessica > aww~ yea i m using dial up, but i cant change anytime soon, coz my phone line company doesnt hav broadband coverage for my area yet. aish. neways. i went to a hotspot ytd, manage to DL his performance for the JSG in HK. and....of coz it was good, he looks like he put his whole heart n soul into his dance. i cud feel the energy exuberating from him. cant manage to DL 1 epi of FH, coz its 700mb, taking TOO long. sigh. do u noe which particular episode, has the kissing scene? haah, coz here, i think it wud be cencor in the tv station, .....too bad, coz i WANNA see. yes yes, the first thing i noticed of him wasnt his eyes, or his body, was his lips, haha, soo pillowy. ahha. and went to check at his pic thread ytd, soooo many great pictures. aww.

swee > aww, ya la, here i think our gov sure cencor those kissing scenes la, argh...i wana see. hmm, till now the story havent develop to the part that they are on good terms yet, they are still in that daily quarelling stage, but both are concern with each other already. i wonder WHEN is the kissing scene? haha.

jie lun rox > haha, i like his voice too. its not too low, just soft and nice....just nice. haha, i kinda like the way he sang I DO. and, hmm, i dont noe much about his previous songs yet, havent hav the chance to know more...as in DLing his songs, to listen to. haha.

aissh..so you found that news jenna bean :oops: that was just a stupid rumor that a stupid guy who needs a life started =/

that it is false.

The person who spreaded the rumor admitted that he was the one who started it.

Here's a very brief Translation of what he said and a bad translation of the conversation that he made up of Bi & GOD:

Hello. I'm a 21 year old guy who started this whole situation about Bi telling Danny that he slept with Lee Hyori. There was no conversation between GOD and Bi on that day, it was just me who said that there was. Why did I do it? I just wanted to see how much effect there would be on the internet. You can call me a dumba** or an idiot, I deserve all of it. At first I put on a different date, but I noticed how it wouldn't match with the gasoos' schedules so I changed it so that it would be believable. I just chose the words and plot that would bring most shock to people, and for a guy, praising that he slept with somebody like that would probably do most damage to his image and for the girl, also. At first I felt proud because all my friends came up to me and said that the rumor I spreaded was number one at that point and I was bragging that what I did was funny and cool. But after a while, I couldn't sleep for so many days and I felt so bad, so much guilt and I felt like I've done something that I deserve to almost die. I truly apologize to Jung Ji Hoon(Bi). I'm so sorry. I sincerely apologize to Lee Hyori. I was a huge fan of both Full House and Finkl at a time. I'm sorry.

I've admitted and am willing to take the blame, so please. please everybody, stop spreading and adding more things to this rumor and saying you heard, etc. etc.

This is what I've written

Danny & Taewoo: Okay, well let's try getting a phone connection to the singer, Bi.

::Ring Ring::

Bi: Hyung! I slept wit hyori last night

(Taewoo Hanging up cus he was so shocked)

Danny: What? You met up with other GOD members last night? (Trying to fix what Bi said.) (In korean, it's diff but danny was saying something that rhymed with what Bi said)

Danny: OKAY Let's hear the next song.

This is what I put up onthe internet. It was all me. Nothing true.

I'm sorry

it's funny how some ppl claim to hear that broadcast O.o...but some ppl at soompi said they listen to that program religiously but they didn't hear that incident happening o.o
Bi and Hyori's On-Air Mistake

2005/08/01

There's news going around that on a certain radio show, Bi let out some inappropriate information about an incident involving Hyori and himself.

Conclusion - No Proof.

Explanation - GOD member, Danny Ahn runs a radio show called 'Kiss the Radio' from 10pm-12am. At the end of the show, another GOD member, Kim Taewoo decided to prank call Bi. It's rumoured that as soon as Bi picked up, he said, "Hyung, I slept with Lee Hyori" and caught Danny Ahn and Kim Taewoo completely off-guard and they quickly tried to conclude the show.

However, when we searched the internet for more information, we found that although there were people claiming to have heard this conversation, no one had uploaded this conversation online. Thus, we decided to relisten to the whole radio program. The episode we listened to, however, was the non-music version where all the music was taken out due to licensing problems. Those who had claimed to have heard Bi say this said that this must be an edited version and that the program's editting stopped around 1:04am and Danny Ahn's nervous ending comment could be heard. Sure enough, he did sound very nervous.

In order to find out what really happened, we located an unedited version through GOD fans and relistened to the program yet again. We were able to listen to the whole conversation which was absent from the edited version and the said-to-be-existing conversation is nowhere to be found. There is no phone call between Kim Taewoo and Bi. Danny Ahn's voice sounded nervous only because he had tried to lower his voice tone, nothing more.

People are also saying that the stars' labels are blocking all P2P research relating to the incident, but it's working perfectly fine. Even if they had put a stop to the search engines, there would have been no way for them to have blocked foreign search engines.

this rumor is so ridiculous. i didn't believe it for a second, although i was worried about the bashers at soompi >< i'm glad it's all cleared up now...but i think there are some who doubts that person's confirmation :dry:

babycruzer: he's never been to m'sia before? O.o i think he might make a visit there in his 2006 World Tour ^__^

tes: there's lots to spazz about! he just had his Rainy Day concert in japan and the pics i saw were all :drool:...if you were there when i was spazzing, you might think i've lost it :shy: i O.D.-ed on smilies XD...i don't favor that hairstyle though ><...i hope you're at least keeping up with his DLs :cry:

grace: it's great that you're so optimistic about that rumor ^^ have faith in our lovely Bi <333...i don't believe he's the type of person who'll just blurt out "i slept with xxx" on the phone just out of nowhere :crazy:

i think i have the link to a clubbox that has the LQ (100MB+ per epi) of Full House. i definitely have the clubbox links for the mid-quality (350MB per epi). let me know which one you want and which episode ^^ and the kissing scene(s)...there's one at epi 2 or 3 and there's another one on the last epi :love:

you have to listen to all his cds! it's all wonderful <333

Jie_Lun_Rox: oh, hehe..i see...i would rather have a phone interview than a face-to-face interview :sweat:

love5: AAH! YOU SAW THE RAINY DAY CONCERT?! :excited: i know!!! that dance sequence with his female dancers where they ripped his clothes is so :drool: :shy: and i also love that part when he sang "nan" where the water was falling on him :drool: :drool: :drool: *dies* :shy:

OHH wow okay the last time i posted here was page 16 http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/images/smilie/huh%20-%20sweatdrop.gif So sorry since between this fast thread and the shinhwa one its like o.O but! After being in the city and seeing an advertisment with Bi on it for some drink in the city I had to come back! I can't believe he was in NYC and I missed it :cry:
what exactly has been happening? Is he dating someone now or something?? sorry I am so behind I haven't even seen his new drama! Where can I DL any recommendations? Still a Bi fan from back in the Full house days ^^

08-05-2005, 05:45 AM

Wow, Rain is very popular in HK. Heheh, I was watching "Scoop" on the TVB and young teenage girls and boys, and even grandmothers are obsessed with Rain! I saw a bit of an MV, I believe it was him, and he can sure dance!!! I missed Full House when it was on *sigh*

So...what do ya'll recommend to a newbie like me? what song would really impress me?

P.S. Rain does look cute!

Some people really need to get a life! :dry:

Um... :shy: no I haven't been DLing anything of late. I did DL one of the small news clips about his china MTV win....but after seeing a glimpse of his shirt ripping, I was instantly put off DLing anymore of the MTV coverage. X___X

jennabean!!! where are you??? leave your Bi poster where it is! he didn't sleep with hyori after all! :D

gracecherry

08-05-2005, 11:49 AM

Jessica >awww~ glad that u told us about the freak who created the rumour. i mean... how cud someone be such a jerk? and spoil the image of someone? for fun? thats TOOO stupid n childish. well, as for me, i think, that Rain, sure isnt stupid, he sure knows that there are certain things that cant even be mentioned in anyway, if he still wana be in the circle. so, lets just assume if he DID slept with some female artist, ( i m just making the worst assumption here , i hope its NOT true, haha ) he wouldnt have blurted it out. okies. YES YES YES, oh gosh, thank you SO much , i would love to have all those links to those epis. LQ is 100 over mb? that sounds great. but, is the video in really bad quality? how bad? i would hope to get the smallest size one, but if its really bad, i got to try for the 300 over mb la. ooh, i want those epis which u think its worth to DL and keep, so i cud rewatch, haha, like the twist and turning point where he finally is wiling to let go of Hye Won, and find that jie eun is his rite gurl. and how he confessed, well, those meaningful parts u noe. haha.

guess what, i just came back from starbucks, finaly DLed loads of bi's clips, first QUESTION, does rain speak english? i mean, is he english educated or he came back from the states or what? coz, it seems he cud sing pretty well in english? haha. and, i duno why, for me, i prefer rain in the cute, shy, a little conservative manner, like young jae in FH, haha, coz, in some clips, he is just TOOO, over sexy for me to...hmm, take in. haha. all in all,i DLed almost his entire 3rd album, and a few of the 1st. and , i m addicting to i DO , now, haha. oh gosh, let me know when u post the FH links k? so i cud go find a time and DL. hhaha, THANKS jessica! luv ya. i guess, i m more into rain's slower and sentimental songs like I DO, maybe u cud recommend to me, which are his other tracks that are of that similar type?from 2nd album? hehe. i quite like 'ikh sook chi ahn nah seo' & 'ak soo'(1st album)

oh and i guess i saw some pics of him wearing white, and he was like all wet, like water pouring on him or something, that was part of his concert? aww~ cool. and wow, its amazing how he is like going all around the world, places like the states are very hard for asian to penetrate , or so i thought. good that he is gaining support there too.

jie lun rox > the first song of his 3rd album? hmm, i DLed from jcn here, is it the one where its pretty short, n he kept repeating 'i wana say these words to you...' ? well, its soothing, but its sooo short, it wud so much nicer if its longer, of did i not get the complete one? hehe. i m stil not very familiar with bi's songs.

LOL Grace! :D

Pheww *wipes sweat off forehead* :D I am glad they cleared up the rumour! :happy: Yeah, I saw that rumour posted at Soompi awhile ago too but when I read it, I didn't really believe it .. but the thing is, who knows whether it's true or not? but I chose not too believe it.. coz I like Rain a LOT :tongue: And I guess in a way, I felt a little suspicious too coz like Grace said, say he really did slept with her.. and if I was in his position, I don't think I would even blurt it out to anyone, not to mention via the phone. :?

mrazfan4ever: oo haha, I watched the HK entertainment show, Scoop too.. I think it's cute that grandmothers are into Rain too haha.. especially when one time the reporter asked "Do you think your husband is better looking or Rain?" and she said Rain. :D The songs I would recommend is the "It's Raining" and "I Do".. it's quite a hit.

jessica

08-06-2005, 04:06 AM

harmony! where have you been? :hugz: i don't think any thread can beat the speed of Shinhwa's :sweat: what?! where did you see that ad with Bi on it in the city?! you mean NYC right? :excited:
he's not dating anyone at this moment. he has an extremely packed schedule. he just had his Rainy Day concert in Japan ^^ he's not acting in Cruel Love anymore...it got postponed again due to his busy schedule :sweat: stop by whenever you have time ^^

mrazfan4ever: aigoo...are there reruns of FH where you live? do you want the links to dl from clubbox? let me know if you do ^^
as for song recommendation...you definitely shouldn't miss track 8 (nan) from his 3rd album! do you like slower or faster/upbeat songs?

tes: aissh >< :cry: there's lots of clips uploaded in bummie's clubbox that you should check out =P i posted some up in the DL thread. go check it out :bleh: there's new clips of his Rainy Day concert in japan :drool:

grace: i hope that's the end of that rumor =/ the LQ's of Full House aren't very bad, but it won't be as clear as the 350MB ones. i'll try to make caps of the LQ soon and show you ^^...i think you should keep this whole series. there are so many cute and memorable scenes that you'll want to watch over and over again :love: what episode are you on now?
he didn't come from the states. he learned most of his english through listening to american pop :D
erm...i think you should dl his whole 2nd album since most of the songs are slow or mid-tempo R&B and ballads. if you like track 2 and 5 from this first album, you'll like track 2 (Because I Know) from his second album ^^
the pics of him wearing white with water pouring on him was from his Rainy Day concert in Japan a few days ago! :excited: :drool: :drool: :drool: i was about to post those pics up, but never had the chance to >< i should do that after this post.
ohoh! "words i wanted to say" was just the opening for his 3rd album. if you like that song, you should dl track 14 "to you"...it's the full version =) and don't forget to try out track 8 (nan)! :love:

panda_shine: omg, you like Rain a lot?! :excited: you should stop by more often and spazz with us :happy:

Hi Love5! Welcome to this lovely thread! Make yourself comfy ~ I'm Jenna btw.

Jess ~ thanks for clearing that up! I was so shocked after reading it (that quote message from the friend on Soompi) I had to post it. I thought it was false b/c I couldn't find a source but wasn't sure.

I also love the song "I do" both of them are on his third CD i dont know why the third one is my favorite of them all. If u can try and watch the "Its RAINing" MV he looks so sexy there!

Especially in I Do's MV.. his smile .. omgosh.. it's soo cute in a very sexy way .. :excited: it's so mesmerizing! And have you watch scenes of FH when he tries to kiss SHG?? Everytime he does that, I am always like "kiss her, kiss her" hehe. :D

Hi everyone else! :wave: :happy:

jbalibean

08-07-2005, 02:40 AM

Hi Karen! Yeah, everyone loves Ji Hun after viewing Full House. I loved him before that, and after my adoration grew to spaztasmic heights! Now, I'm like a volcano ready to explode. kekeke ~ Watch out!

Mrazfan4ever ~ I like some of his lesser known songs better, but I still enjoy a couple cult classics. Personal recommendations: Ak soo (Handshake), I do, Na Ae Gae Neun (To me you are), Wae (why), Biggest Thing, and But I love you.

i hope he doesnt get anyMORE sexier, haha, rite now, its enuf
Bi always seems to find a new way to crank up the boiler. You say that now, but you'll love as it gets hotter!

Don't get me started on those tenacious twins of his, I could go on for days! :laughing:
Kiss? More like suck :whistle:

Who is this Min Hyo fellow? If it's not too much trouble, could you send me a pic? :brows:

grace: all his albums are in jcnet! just go to the first post of his DL thread and you'll find it ^^ i know what you mean about track 5. i love track 2 (ak soo) the most...he looked so adorable in the MV :love: it's rare to find a new fan who likes those 2 tracks at the beginning. i had to convince some here on how great those songs were :oops:
i replied about the problem for the LQ of FH in the DL thread already. too lazy to repeat it here, so check out what i said there =P...lol, nobody's cuter than Bi in FH :love: :tongue:
you have to listen to Nan (track 8 from third album)!!! it's r&b, but it's beautiful <333 haha, you don't have to apologize for spazzing! that is what this thread is for :D i'm so happy to have more new fans stopping by :hugz:

harmony: please take a pic of that ad! :excited: i only saw an ad of SHG for some beauty product in chinatown and that's it =/ i think i might be able to find some Bi ads in ktown :hmm:

karen (hope you don't mind if i call you by your name ^^): yay! another Bi fan after FH! you have to come by often and DL his clips and spazz with us afterwards! :excited:

i uploaded the rest of his MVs in the DL thread, so anyone who doesn't have it should go dl ^^ i'm going to upload 2 more performances, so check back and see if it's up :happy:

hey. apple daily said that Rain has a girlfriend who is a dancer and always travels around with him too. is it true?

i also read the article on that a while back. it showed this girl and they did say that its someone who travels around with him but it didnt say that she was a dancer. oh yea it was during his promotional trip to Beijing, they said it was just a person the company appointed to accompany Rain. so im not sure bout the girlfriend part.... :?

Hi! :wave:

I like Rain too. As with most of you, I liked Rain because of Fullhouse and Sangdoo. At first, I knew he was a performer but with the drama Fullhouse especially with his acting skills in Sangdoo, I got hooked.
The first performance that I took notice of him was in MTV Asia Aid.

I read a couple of your previous posts, to avoid repetition. hehe
I'm glad Rain will get the chance to go to the VMAs. I read it first in soompi. I thought he was going to perform (impossible?). Thanks for the news that cleared my doubts. He's pretty hectic this year. I hope he gets to southeast asia very soon. Can't wait to see im in the flesh! :happy:

panda_shine "And have you watch scenes of FH when he tries to kiss SHG?? Everytime he does that, I am always like "kiss her, kiss her" hehe."

***this is what you thought? Me, on the otherhand when Rain's face came close to the screen with his lips puckered, I felt the urge to kiss the TV screen! :D :rolleyes: *** :shy:

Jessica, thanks for the clips!

Guess what ppl, today i worked for the entire day, from 11-9, and i just cant stop thinking of rain and FH, and the scene of him kissing SHG as a seal to their marriage kept replaying in my head. darn~~

Karen > OH DEAR, pls stop sending me electric shocks! haha, coz its the weekends and so i cant watch fh till tmrw nite, 8.30, its so excrutiating, i cant take it anymore.oh gosh, but friday's episode was SOOOOO sad, coz, he finally understand that, there is a need for him, to be more... responsible in his actions towards jie eun, that if he goes home late, he shud at least call. and when she was sick, he actually slept by her bedside the whole nite thru, that was soo aww~ and he MADE the porriage, i was like, AWWWWW WWWwww~~~ neways. thanks so many kind ppl here, i hav the links to I DO mv aredy, but i cant DL till a few days more, so by then ONLY i'll know how cute his smile is. haha. and NOPE i havent seen those scenes of him trying to kiss her yet....awwww~ i cant wait.

jenna > min hyo? its the other actor in FH. the one who likes jie eun. hehe. anyway, he IS gorgeous, too, he is the gentlemanly kind, unlike young jae, but, young jae is SURE jie eun's type LOL. wahaha~ oooh.... i watched his 'nice and slow' performance, and he was ...hmm, way too sexy there. i find myself breathless. haha.

jessica > OH GOSH, u dont even have to convince me to like 'ikh sook chi ahn nah seo' track 5, coz i m loving is SO much alredy now. yea, i m a new fan, and i really love that song. his voice is SOOOO, good in there, soo strong,and...just... solid, emotional. greaT! i love the climax part. i m listening to IT NOW. aaaah :angel: . ok ok, i found the album 2 DL alredy, now i cant wait to DL it. the mv of 'ak soo'???? u have?????? oooooh.... me want too. hehe.

swee > i finally saw the first kissing part, and i totally go.....melted. coz it was like a forced kiss. and so that means, he got to be doing all the coaxing! haha.... kiss analysis wahaha~

jie > hahaha, yea... i m sure gona DL the 2nd album. since jessica says it has mostly the type that i like, hehe.

OH GOSH, i m putting the blame on FH!! that i m so into jeung ji hun rite now. hahaha. he is just TOO cute to resist. esp in FH. the part where he did the 3 bear dance, i was like, speeechless.

panda_shine

08-07-2005, 05:22 PM

Yeah before FH.. the first clip I saw of him was Making of the It's Raining MV.. and I was like... "his dancing (and body :D ) is hot!" :drool: .. then FH.. .. :love: kinda like Sweep's situation :D

About the 'girlfriend' part, same as eiko, when I read it.. they said it was only someone the company appointed to accompany Rain.. so I don't know.. :? Question, has Rain ever been rumoured with anybody??

Jaymie: I want to get Rain's album too (It's Raining) but I am not sure... need to save up too :D

Sweep: LOL.. :D I thought kissing the lips part was funny! :tongue:

Grace: hehe, yeah the three bear dance is soo cute.. you know what? even my younger Bro loves FH :D He's learning to sing the three bear song too lol :rolleyes: And I know.. it's soo *awww* when Rain does all these sweet things for her ... I can't wait until you finish watching it haha :tongue: :happy:

08-07-2005, 05:46 PM

gracecherry It's so good to hear your comments on Fullhouse. I also can't get enough. It's still good even if you repeat it a couple of times. :happy:

panda_shine Rain's ex-girlfriend (rumoured or real) that I read before was Kong Hyo Jin. She's the lead actress in Sangdoo. They went out after the filming of Sangdoo. When Rain was in the US back then, she visited him.

I am thinking of buying the FH director's cut. But its sooo expensive in Yesasia about $95. Do you guys think it's worth it? It's sooo confusing. I already have to usual one but I think of the added scenes in the director's cut.

thanks for stopping by Bi's thread in your spare time :kisschee:

na-lee: welcome to the Rain fever :wave: he does have great dancing skills, but minwoo and se7en also have their own style. let's not compare and love them all :angel:

jaymie: you should buy them if you have money to spare! it's really worth it plus there's hot photos enclosed in each cd :brows:
aah, your banner! those 2 photoshoots does look similiar hehe...but Jay looks mysterious, while Bi looks hot :love:

grace: yay, you're officially hooked :whistle: kekeke, so you enjoyed the "nice & slow" perf also?...he really knows how to work the stage and the crowd :rolleyes: i love his stage presence. he has such charisma and charm that just captivates your attention :cloud9:
omg, the 3 bears song is a classic in FH! :D

karen: Bi has been rumored to have dated all the actresses he worked with in dramas :oops: all i know is that they're all just rumors :dry:

panda_shine "And have you watch scenes of FH when he tries to kiss SHG?? Everytime he does that, I am always like "kiss her, kiss her" hehe."

***this is what you thought? Me, on the otherhand when Rain's face came close to the screen with his lips puckered, I felt the urge to kiss the TV screen! :D :rolleyes: *** :shy:
:roll: i had the same urge also! his pillowy lips are so tempting :drool: he looked so adorable in those scenes :love: i hope he gets to perform in the VMA, but i doubt it =/ and even if he does, it will most likely be edited out :oops:...hope you enjoy those perfs ^^
the director's cut of FH has extended scenes in all the episodes i think...and there are extras in there like, the making of, interview, and NGs..i'm not certain if there's more :sweat: the price on yesasia is pretty steep >< bummie's clubbox was uploading the director's cut, but ppl doesn't seem to be interested so they stopped =(

harmony: hehe, i would've squealed when if i see him posted on someone's window on display too :blush: can't wait to see your snapshot of that ad! :excited:

here's some news on our beloved, since we seem to be lacking news in this thread lately><

Bi's Concert Tickets Sell Out in 30 Seconds!
Korean Musician Bi Performs 17 Songs at Japan Concerts
Korean R&B singer, Bi, performed in Japan... yadda yadda yadda.
A total of 14,800 tickets for his Osaka performances in August were sold out in 30 seconds. On July 30th, he performed 17 songs in front of 5000 people. He confidently told his fans, "Two nights passed so I could prepare for this concert, please enjoy my performance on stage..."
Bi also mentioned that he is currently studying Japanese. In order to help his studies, he is watching the Japanese TV drama "Goku Sen" (??) and memorizing vocabulary.
Article says something about his Rainy Day concert in Seoul, but it's worded confusingly, anyways, not important.
On September 2nd and 3rd, Bi has plans to perform in Japan again.

<that's crazy! tickets being sold out in 30 seconds! :excited: those lucky japanese fans get to watch him in concert twice :oops:>

Rain, “It’s So Hard Learning Various Languages”

“I am studying such Asian languages as English, Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin and others,” <don't know why it's translated like that...Chinese, Cantonese, Mandarin O.o> having prepared himself for a world star beyond the present ‘Asian one,’ Rain expressed his much hardship learning language, “Since I learned too various languages at once, I sometimes get confused. Actually, in America Japanese came out of nowhere, and in Japan English came out of nowhere.” < :D >

Telling he looks attentively at dramas for learning language, Rain said he was watching Andy Lau’s former dramas as Hong Kong one, similar genre to ‘Bao Qingtian the Judge(判官包靑天)’ as Chinese one, <i can't stop laughing after i read this part :roll:> ‘Gokusen(Teacher from the Underworld, ごくせん])’ as Japanese Drama. Particularly ‘Gokusen’ the teacher was scary, he said wittily.

He offered a language-learning tip, by telling he knew he had internalized things in brains more easily than expected as he studied language through dramas.

<he should pace himself...learning all those languages at once can be very confusing @.@>

I’d Like to be ‘Rain, the Actor who is Passionate’

“I’d like to be called Rain, the actor who is passionate.”
Having been reborn as a representative Asian singer, Rain revealed his desire as a TV actor.

In the interview with newswriters after finishing successfully ‘Live Concert in Japan Rainy Day’ his first exclusive concert in Japan July 30~31, Rain said he wanted to hear “Rain is very enduring as a TV actor as well as as a singer.” <you are :love:>

“Despite the fact that I had watched and studied 77 pieces of movies and dozens of dramas for the sake of ‘Sangdu, Let’s Go to School’, I used to be told that I succeeded all because the character was only too good,” Rain opened his mouth expressing something unsatisfied inside, “I was also told ‘the character is only too good’ even when the audience rating of ‘Full House’ was 40%.” <those ppl who doubted him are ignorant :-x he's a dedicated and professional entertainer and he always prepare himself in whatever project he takes>

In the meantime Rain said modestly “I know there are yet many that needs be elaborated and refined,” and expressed his hope as a TV actor saying “I wish my next work to be the one that shows Rain’s aspects as a TV actor, regardless of how the high audience rating is or how much the viewers’ number is.” <i know you'll succeed in whatever role you take!>

As if Rain’s something unsatisfied about the acting on TV looks reflected, there are many cases that they rather recognize Rain as a TV actor as in Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. Since his drama ‘Full House’ advanced prior to his albums, there are quite a number of persons concerned who recognize Rain ‘an TV actor with an charming smile.’ In fact, a lot of entertainment-concerned persons who attended Rain’s first concert in Japan showed their this very response that “they couldn’t believe their eyes” to Rain’s intense dance and wonderful stage manner displayed before their eyes, according to what Rain’s company person said. <i know this situation too well...so many of his new fans like him after FH, but they never listened to his music. some who do prefer his acting more :dry: i'm glad that there's many who appreciate his singing and acting...ppl need to recognize that he's great at both :dry:>

Hi na lee! :wave: So you like his dancing eh? I enjoy his voice more than his choreographed movements.

Grace ~ oh, hehe I thought you were talking about a real person's name! :shy: haha, yeah I know ~ Kim Sung Soo. He is handsome, but after seeing his movie, don't like him nearly as much. :sick:

Karen ~ I have "It's Raining", it's a good album, you should buy it and support our baby!

Thanks Jess for the news! I can totally relate, I have on occasion forgot what language I was speaking and randonly started talking in another! :laughing: Can't believe he's trying to learn so much at one time, he should focus on one or two, it will benefit him in the end!

Lily ~ I'm sorry, internet cafes suck! :oops: Yeah, I saw a sign today at the mall, the MTV awards are broadcast on August 28th from Miami. I won't have a tv, so I will be unable to watch! :cry:

i've dled the concert already and omg that boy sure knows how to turn up the heat! :drool: no need to say which were my favorite parts right? :rolleyes: :whistle: :angel:

i thought his canto sounded cute :tongue: he looked so adorable when he messed it up...that lost/embarassed look on his face :love:

grace: i'm glad you like so many tracks from his 2nd album ^^ if you listen to it more, you'll find other tracks appealing too. now you need to dl track 8 (Nan) from his 3rd album! it shouldn't be missed!...oh, and track 14 (To You)...there are other great songs from his last album also, so just try out each one and pick out your favorites :happy:...haze? O.o...i hope everything is okay now :sweat:

do you have msn?! :excited: it'll be so fun if all the Bi fans can have a spazz session one day! :shifty:

jenna bean: oh no! you watched that KSS movie?! :sweat: hehe, MSN is the best! <3

ichigo-chan: welcome to this thread :wave: erm...i haven't watched the making of or too many bloopers yet for Sangdoo, but i'm going to guess he didn't need chemicals to cry. banjun is not his new drama. it only have a few episodes and it's not sold anywhere...well, there was this site that sells it, but they didn't ask permission to use the soft subs that members from his fansite put together, so i'd suggest you not buy it and just dl :oops: :dry: ...you don't have bad english ^^ just stop by often and spazz with us :wink2:

babycruzer: no problem ^^ ooo, didn't know you've been his fan for so long. you never dropped by here =(

anyway, he's going to act in a new drama! i hope he doesn't cancel again, but i don't know where he's going to have time to squeeze this in though :worry:..he also has a new msg for his fans! :-)

Bi Casted in KBS MON/TUES Drama, "The Love of the Guy who Deserved to Die"

Working with scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee [who also wrote "Let's Go to School, Sangdoo!"

Musician, Bi [known as Jung Ji-Hoon in the acting world], has decided on the next point in his career. He plans on starring in KBS 2TV's "The Love of the Guy who Deserved to Die" - a new drama that will be airing early November [scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee, producer Kim Kyu-Tae]. Bi has been cast as main character Kang Bok-Gu.

"The Love of the Guy who Deserved to Die" is written by MISA's [I'm Sorry, I Love You] scriptwriter, Lee Kyung-Hee. The two already met once in 2003 when Bi debuted with "Let's Go to School, Sangdoo!" The producer, Kim Kyu-Tae, is currently working on dramacity "Jejudo's Blue/Green Nights."

Bi's character, Kang Bok-Gu, will be a different kind of [dorkette's note: or second class, the adjective has two meanings] fighter K-1 player who loves a woman that he should not. He will be fighting against and pushing aside fate as a strong and dynamic character.

Bi originally planned on starring in "Cruel Love", but the script was never completed; this naturally led to Bi dropping the project and postponing his roles in dramas until now. He previously starred in "Let's Go to School, Sangdoo!" and "Full House", both KBS dramas.

One one hand, many male celebrities have been interested in scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee's stories and casting calls were extensively called at one point. This is in part of the success that "Kkokgi's" Won Bin, "Sangdoo's" Bi, and "MISA's" So Ji-Sup encountered after taking part in a Lee Kyung-Hee drama.

"I am back from RAINy Day Concert in Japan!"

Hello~ This is RAIN.
It’s been a while.
I was quite busy with preparation of Japan concerts. Now I have come back after the satisfactory completion of the concerts!^^
I was nervous since that it was my first concerts in Japan, but the supports from many of my Korean fans who came to the concerts made me feel safe.
I am grateful to those fans who came all the way to Japan and yelled out my name, and also to my fans CLOUDs who cheered me in Korea! I thank you all!
I worked hard to show you the best of myself. I wonder how you would grade me!
Was I good?^^
There were some major and minor glitches: but I hope you can forgive me!^^
I’ll be having another set of concerts in Budokan, the best concert hall in Japan.
I am in the middle of the preparation to show you a bit different show for Budokan concerts. I hope to have your expectation for that. And please come and support me^^
Yet, I had one concert right after I arrived in Korea. It was pouring during the show.
I worried about the fans who were sitting in the rain: be careful not to catch a cold!
I am a bit under the weather because of my heavy schedule.
I know I must’ve shown a good show to those fans who came all the way. I apologize.
I feel a lot better after I had a good rest for a day!^^
As you know very well, health is the best thing…
I am relying on your supports who are always on my side.
I will always work hard to be your proud RAIN. Please be with me!
The weather is still very warm. You be careful with your health.
I’ll see you more often.

Yours sincerely,

RAIN

heres some things on the japan concert...

RAIN – Japan Concert Tour. Part 1”

(*Reporter’s part is not included in this translation)

[RAIN arrives at Haneda Airport]
Fan: (in Japanese) Great! Great!

[RAIN meets the Japanese staffs to work together for the concert; Leaves the hotel to go to the rehearsal; exchange greetings with the fans at the hotel]

[RAIN arrives at the concert hall; back-up dancers; preparing for the rehearsal]
voice of a staff: Now we’ll rehearse from the point when the dancers perform to the point for ‘Tayyangul pihanun bangbeop’.
[RAIN discusses with the staff; fans walking up the stairs; RAIN in discussion with the staff]

RAIN (rehearsal on stage): And my talk… my talk will be improvised. So, I’ll give a cue on each point of my talk to the band.
RAIN (rehearsal): Left! Then from this point the lift will… (Not clear)
[A back up dancer’s solo rehearsal]

[RAIN rehearsal for the first appearance on the stage]
staff: This is slower than the one we used in Korea. Even at its fastest mode, it’s still slower than what we used.
RAIN: I’ll give you a cue, then you lift me high.
Staffs: Go! Go!

RAIN (rehearses ‘Na’, rehearses his talk in Japanese): Today, I want you to enjoy the concert too.
[rehearsal continues: ‘Nan Niga joungeoya’; ‘oay hapil’; ‘I Do’; ‘Nan’; ‘Tayyanul pihanun bangbeop’; ‘It’s RAINing’]
RAIN: (after the rehearsal): Thank you for your efforts!

[A press meeting before the concert]
Q: Your thoughts about having concerts in Japan?
RAIN: I want my concert to be a fun rather than being a center of attention from the media. I want to express my deepest appreciation to those fans who come to the concert. Luckily, I’ll be having an encore concert. I hope all the concert I’m holding can be a fun.
Q: Do you feel nervous about having concerts in Japan?
RAIN: No, I am not nervous at all. My low calm voice is due to the lack of sleep. I only had a few hours’ sleep, which makes me rather weak, if I must say. Today’s concert will be very interesting one. You can have expectation for that.
Q: To your Japanese fans?...
RAIN: Especially to those from Tokyo and Osaka… I am deeply grateful to Japanese fans including those in Tokyo and Osaka. And there will be another set of concerts in Budokan on September 2-3. I think I can show a good performance for Budokan concert too. My staffs told me that having concerts in Budokna is like achieving an impossible thing. I must put my best efforts.
Closing remark: I thank you all for coming. Hope you can enjoy my concert. I wish your supports too. Thank you! (in Japanese) Thank you! Thanks for your cooperation!

*SBS LIVE TV Entertainment August 03, 2005*
Interview with RAIN and J. S. Park

(Tokyo National stadium, last week: Manchester United players arrive)
Reporter’s voice: JS Park, How’s your condition today?
JS Park: Just all right!

[RAIN preparing the opening show; performance; watching the game; some Japanese fans looking at RAIN through their binoculars]
Fan: We’re watching the game too.
Reporter’s voice: And RAIN?
Fan: I like to watch RAIN rather than the game.

[JS Park exercising in the field; changing in the red uniform; later, injured]
RAIN: Of course I supported the Man U where JS Park belongs to. But, on that day he got injured soon as he started playing. I felt so sorry for him. I met him after the game and found out the injury was rather serious. Er… Despite the bad incident, he greeted me whole-heartedly. I am so thankful to him for that.

[RAINy Day Japan concert: press meeting]
RAIN: Ah, I thank you all for coming. I hope you’ll enjoy the concert.
RAIN with his dancers: Right! Let’s put our best efforts! We’ll go easy and enjoy the concert!
Reporter’s voice: How’s your condition?
RAIN: Yes. Very good!

[Concert performance: Na; Nabbun Namja; Aksoo]
[The smile that melts the Japanese archipelago]
RAIN: How do you do, everyone? I am RAIN!

Q: What aspects of RAIN do Japanese fans like about?
RAIN: I think they love various aspects of me. For example, some say I’m ‘just cute’, and others say ‘just charming’. I might be able to put them as ‘a package gift’?

RAIN: Well… If people see me as a stern person, that can be a praise, or on the contrary, that can be insults. From now on, I’ll let loose myself a bit. (Laughs)

[RAIN on the stage]
RAIN: The next song I’ll sing for you is the most favorite song of mine. And I dedicate this to my mother. (sings Iksookchi anaseo)

RAIN: If you love RAIN, I will love you in return. :love:

[RAIN performing Taeyangul pihanun bangbeop]
(RAIN’s voice): My dream has been to be on the stage; and I love each moment of being on the stage.

[After the concert]
Reporter’s voice: How was the concert?
RAIN: Yes. It was very good! I’d like to express my appreciation for the great support. Ah, so many people came to the concert.
Thank you!

heres a translation for the china mtv awards that rain was at a while bac...

RAIN interviewing after the MTV China Music Awards 2005

RAIN: (in mandarin)…. (to the interpreter) Am I saying right?
(correction) a ah! Weo-ai-ni-man (Mandarin: I love you all!)
RAIN: (receiving the flowers and presents) Sse sse! (Mandarin: Thank you!)
Interpreter: (????)
The reaction from the audience was the most enthusiastic towards you. What would you say about that?
RAIN: Sse sse! I thank you greatly! Yeah… the drama Full House will be aired very soon in China. I think the fans of the drama also love my songs. I hope to have your continuous love.
Interpreter: (????)
RAIN: Ah! Due to my busy activities in overseas that resulted in fatigue, I had to be in a sick bed for a short time. But now I am perfectly all right. (please dont overwork :cry: )
Interpreter: They say that you’ll be having concerts in Japan and Hong Kong. We’re just wondering if there is any plan for having your concert in China?
RAIN: Ah! For the fans in China, we’d like to have a concert in a near future. We are at the initial stage of planning an exciting concert. If you give us a little bit of time, you will have a wonderful concert fairly soon.
Interpreter: (in Mandarin)

Grace: heh.. I prefer to meet the real Rain haha.. coz though Young Jae is such a cute person but he came be so mean at times.. :D haha.. but he has so much patience in teaching Ji Eun ride the bicycle .

ichigo-chan: Embroidery?? Wow that is quite feminine haha.. I don't think I ever heard of a guy doing it.. but that's cute! I wonder if what he does with the finished products :brows: If you like, I can upload the final episode of FH for you! Just let me know!

Thanks Eiko for the news! Too bad I can't go to the HK concert coz it's in October.. :oops:

Today I got Rain's It's Raining CD and I am not 100% sure if it's real.. part of me thinks it is because it was placed along with a whole bunch of other real cds/vcds.. but then the simplified Chinese on it got me thinking. I am not sure if it's just a version printed in China or something.. I took a few pictures so the experts here can help me figure it out heh.. :tongue: :wink2:

Hi all! haven't been in here for ages and it's grown so much! :happy:

panda--> your CD looks authentic. :happy: pirated versions don't go to so much trouble to make it look exactly as the real version. and they definitely do not package their cds in boxes either. it's usually just a cd case.

ichigo-chan, Awwies, I was rellie looking forward to that too... :oops: Ooh wells~ anywhoos, I'm not a big fan of Jackie Chan -xT

jessica

08-13-2005, 09:09 PM

karen: hmm, i think his new drama will be romantic...and maybe tragic since it's written by the screen writer of Sangdoo and I'm Sorry I Love You >< ah! you got his 3rd cd! it looks authentic from the pics you posted, and it included everything. it might be China's version. are the tracks in chinese?

grace: i'm going to add you when i sign on to msn later ^^ hahaha, so you encounter the battery problem too eh? :oops: take you time with dling FH since it's in a gold clubbox meaning the links won't expire. you should get his other perfs first :happy: oh, and clubbox files can be resumed so you don't have to worry about losing what you've dled. just don't delete the CRCDATA and NEO in the folder where you save your clubbox dls :wink2: hehe, you love all the songs i loved when i first discovered him :-)

he sang Ik soo chi anaseo during his Rainy Day concert, not the Man U prematch ^^ i posted a clubbox link for that perf in the DL section a while ago, but the file was quite huge :sweat: there's a translation for that clip also. you should dl it if you can because it was another touching perf :cry:

ichigo-chan: hmm, it's not really embroidery...well, they call it cross stitching, but i wouldn't know the difference :D i only saw him doing it during that time before his perf in HK's SJG...not sure if he does that everytime :D i'll upload that clip for you guys, but i have to warn you that it's extremely short :oops:
thanks for posting up that news to confirm that Jackie Chan's movie was just a rumor ^^ saves me the time to look for it :whistle:

eiko: omo..aaah! he's really going to have a concert in HK?!!! omg, the tickets are so cheap >< i hope a lot of ppl will go...is he the first korean singer to hold a concert in HK?! :excited: thanks for the news and translation article :hugz: he is a "package gift" to all of us :love:

babycruzer: oh, i see...now you can stop by here from time to time ^^ i've been his fan for quite some time, so i keep up with his news :happy:

tes: you're finally back! :cry: :hugz: aww, why did you change your hot guys in hoodies banner so quickly? but i enjoy staring at this one also, just not as much as my hottie in hoodie :tongue:

choumyfun: oh, that movie with Jackie Chan was just a rumor :dry: i didn't want to post the news here because i don't want to confuse ppl =P we might see him in action for his new drama since he plays like a boxer/fighter. omg, imagine the shirtless scenes :drool:

panda_shine

08-13-2005, 10:47 PM

Grace: Yeah Young Jae has a sweet side too.. like how he keeps telling Ji Eun not to sleep on the desk.. :happy: And oo.. I didn't know the first song (/intro) talks about his mother. What happened to her?

ChOuMYFUn: Thanks for the pictures of Rain doing embroidery!! He looks so focus and serious.. :happy: And oh I saw the article about Rain and Jackie Chan but I couldn't really read it.. but now I know :angel: I'll be looking forward to it then :brows:

ichigo-chan: I uploaded the last episode of Full House, please go to this post to download it :tongue: http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?p=481748#post481748

Thanks for the info/reassurance (on the cd) that it's authentic heh.. coz here, they also sell 2 kinds of fake cds. The first kind, you can easily tell. And the second kind.. the cover looks really nice.. but I have never bought the second kind (of fake cd) before so I don't really know if the inside is nice too. So I guess the Rain cd I got is just a China printed version. It was like half the price of what I usually pay to get my other Chinese cds (printed in HK or Taiwan etc).. so I was unsure. Grace, yup I got my cd in a Chinese mall and Jessica, the songs are in Korean.. they have Chinese translation in the booklet though.

Hi Ichigo Chan, welcome to the Bi thread! :wave:

Grace ~ you liked that?! I don't like him in cornrolls, it doesn't suit him as well. Awww, I love that eppie. Haha, and the flowers kept coming! LOL when i see young jae, i picture the sexy bi on stage? ahha. oooh, sangdoo is sad? i guess so, coz in the 'because i know' mv, it was like...aww~ oh me too wana join u and jess on msn..... hehe, can? we will hav bi talk. ahha
Really?! I think they are so different, except that they are both entertainers. Sangdoo isn't exactly sad, but it's not a comedy either, more of a mixture of the two. Most definitely, kekeke~ I'm always open for a Bi spazz! :rolleyes: I've added you now, so can't wait to chat!

Swee ~ Oh really?!?! I didn't know that. That stinks, luckily not TOO many kissing scenes :oops:

Jess ~ Yeah I watched the movie, but with my hand to m face, covering everything but their faces O___________O Thanks for the news. Yay ~ a new drama! Ooh, and the scriptwriter from MISA! :bounce:

Karen ~ I just checked, and he's going to be a special guest (this isn't a rumor!) performer. I have to find a way to see this! Aaaahhhh hwaiting :nunchuks:

Eiko ~ thanks for the translated articles. haha, packaged gift :laughing: Not maybe, is one! Oh how sweet, he dedicated it to his mom. As for that mando phrase, poor boy, he can't ever get that right!

Karen ~ it's authentic b/c it has a Korean registration sticker on the box. (They appear on all Korean cds) It's just a slightly different version b/c it contains more goodies.

Zorie ~ thanks so much for the photo links ~ kekeke so cute! :blush:

08-14-2005, 07:15 AM

we might see him in action for his new drama since he plays like a boxer/fighter. omg, imagine the shirtless scenes
Ohmigoodies, jessica that is soOooo much better! Him - a boxer *whoOo~ :blush: *fans self*
Aiya, chinese reporters tend to make soo much rumors and gossips... it gets soo aggravating sometimes :-x

panda_shine Haha isn't he cute? The things he do... lol! jessica posted a clippie of the cross-stiching in the d/l section too! :happy:
Awwies, too bad the movie with jackie chan isn't exactly confirmed as jessica said, it's jus a rumor.. I was rellie looking forward to that too! but hey, u could catch him as a boxer now, hopefully in his new drama! :brows:

jie_lun_rox I guess we can't watch him as a bad guy anymores xT

Haha~ I SO enjoy talks in this thread… with all of u, esp jenna, Jessica and ke-ai Karen. Wahaha~ alrite, yesterday, there was a news of rain on the Chinese paper here and its…hmm, I don’t know what to say about it. Shouldn’t be too gOOd a news, I gues… I cant read Chinese so asked my mom, she said the news was about Rain speaking of some indecent/obscene joke on stage. Haha~ I almost burst out laughing when I heard that though. I don’t think its bad news or serious stuff, but, its just funny, and hmmmm….kinda weird. So the news said that he shouldn’t speak of such things, as it might be a bad example for his fans or younger ppl.

Jenna > hehe, I think he looked pretty cute in cornrolls though ,haha~ well, really? The flowers kept coming? Aww~~ how sweeeet. Hmm… I cant wait for tmrw’s epi, its about hye won found out that young jae’s feelings for her isn’t intact anymore…so she wanted to let go of him, and then when he was about to returned to jie eun, she started to date with min hyo. Oh YES, young jae & rain is so different… but I tend to mix them together, coz afterall it IS rain who is acting. Haha. so when I see him all innocent and cute in FH, a flashback of his stripping scene during the rainy day concert came to my mind. Haha, I m weird. Oooh, ive accepted ur invitation too… look forward to bump into u then.

Karen > ooh, that song is my FAV rain song. Its called ‘ikh sook chi ahn na seo’ ,track 5 from his 1st album. U really should listen to track 5 and 2 (ak soo-handshake) of his first album. Its soo nice. And ‘because I know’ track 2 from hi 2nd album. Haha. well, before rain performed ‘ik sook chi ahn na seo’ he told the audiences that he dedicates that song to his mom, well….sadly, coz his mom has passed away, just sometime before he was famous. I gues. Aww~ did u DL the clip of him receiving the daesang award? it was touching coz he cried like a baby… he cried so badly he couldn’t even dance and sing ‘its raining’ properly , he kept wiping his tears. And pulling down his white cap. And yes, he always tells jie eun not to sleep on the desk, in the weirdly-rude manner. But its all becoz he does care. Aww~ he has toooo much ego. But so cute.

Well, ytd I was nervous before my final modeling class rite? So I took 1 hr to do my own complete make up, from foundation and corrector kit to final touches of blusher and loose powder, I was listening to rain’s songs throughout…. Haha, gives me such a light feeling. LOL. and, thanks, the class went well… I can collect my cert anytime now.

Jessica > clubbox files cud be resumed? What do u mean? Like if I DLed 60% and my battery died, the nex time I DL it would continue from there? OR u meant, that those files I DLed successfully would one day expire and I need the crcdata files to resume it back? Oops, I deleted all the crcdata files…hmm. oh he sang that during rainy day concert eh? Ok ok, then I MUST dl that, coz I haven’t seen ANY clip of him performing that song live. LOL. oh and I watched the perf of him and hyori. Hehe, well, Hyori is sexy, she have a nice figure, and she could dance, so she is not bad afterall. Haha, but as for the tango, It seems the audience was more drawn to hyori then rain? Ahah, or so I feel.

Oh oh, I must dl the short clip of him doing cross stitching too, coz, I just cant imagine how a guy like HIM does it? Ahah, I m sooo bad at thread and needle stuff, aisH, shame at myself. Ahha, hav to go learn up my stitching skills then.hehe.

Zorie ~ I know him as boxer *drowns in droolishly awesome thoughts* :tongue: Well, did you see those pics posted a while back of him boxing/ wearing boxing gear and looking hopelessly adorable? :angel: Plus, for boxing roles, the actos have to workout EXTRA hard to build up more muscle *DIES* I can't imagine him getting any buffer! :wacko:

Grace ~ yeah, b/c at the end the room was full of flowers, LOL. That's hilarious how the two sides of Bi collide in your mind at the same time! :D Poor you, now wonder you've been spazzing like you have. Perhaps a session w/ me on MSN will ease your mind (or make your "pain" even more appealing! :brows:)

Have you seen the mvs to "ikh sook chi ahn na seo" and "ak soo"? If you need them, I'm more than willing to upload.

The crowd is forced to look at Hyori b/c she throws her attention ( aka body parts) in their faces!! Nice banner, see the many faces of Bi:cloud9:

Jess ~ awww :hugz::kisschee: I've been here, but lately I've been bogged down by outside problems and haven't had much motivation to get online. Episode 7!?!? :excited: Already?! Wow, we definitely need to chat about this on MSN, I haven't spazzed w/ anyone!! :sadangel: This story reminds me of AT, you'll see as you go on.

Thans Jessica for the news! I thought there will be no dramas for Bi because of his asian tour next year. Oh, I wish he would go to other parts of asia sooner. :cry:

He's been soo sick lately, I read a couple of articles where he was sick already. Bi is really so hardworking. I hope I could get up on my ass as well and do something beneficial. I hope Bi could really inspire me to be hardworking and determined as he is.

Hello Ichigo Chan! I'm new here myself... :wave:

Jessica, was the embroidery thing real? Or Bi was just kidding around that he cross stitched???

gracecherry, sangdoo really is nice! I was really impressed with Bi's acting here. When it was time for the comedy part, it was really funny, then when it was time for the drama part it really gets to you...This is the drama that pushed me more to liking Bi. :happy:

I can't wait to get a copy of Rain's concert. It's just too much for me to download. You guys really make it sound so interesting. I can't wait to get a copy.

08-16-2005, 02:27 AM

grace: haha..i'm not really a Bi expert, but i do try to find out more about him ^^...i did watch Sangdoo a long time ago, but only partially and without subs =/ so this is like my first time watching it. he looked so adorable in this drama <333 like what jenna said, this will be a bittersweet serie.
erm...we might bump into each other soon. i used to stay up at crazy hours of the night/morning to chat...i haven't been doing that lately since i've been busy with my Sangdoo marathon =P

jenna bean: yes, we do need to spazz on Sangdoo! there are so many cute/dorky scenes! :love: i'm already up to epi 10 =)...aigoo, hope your problem isn't serious :console:

sandy: he's going to have a world tour in 2006. hope he makes it to your country also ^^
i never heard of the embroidery incident until that clip i saw. i'm not sure if he does it occassionally, or only that time though :D

here's an article about it:

Pop star, Rain, seen doing cross stitch? Believe it or not, this is true. The picture in which he is doing cross stitch, while waiting for his performance, is creating a quite a buzz on the Internet. When spotted in a waiting room by entertainment news programs cameras, stars are usually seen taking a rest from their hectic schedule, or busy preparing for their performance. Another typical scene is of stars chatting with colleagues whom they haven’t seen for a long time.

But Rain is different! He was recently spotted in a waiting room doing cross stitch. His ‘feminine’ side, revealed in the picture, is all the more surprising given that he’s famous for his powerful and masculine dancing.

Rain has recently returned from his tour of China and Hong Kong. Due to his huge popularity in the region, he had to use every means possible to stay away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. As he’s such a big star in Asia as well as in Korea, the picture of him doing cross stitch to relieve stress brings him closer to his fans.

Rain has been invited to perform before a 50,000 audience for a pre-match show at Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo. He sang at the show on July 28 before the friendly soccer match between Manchester United and Kashima Antlers. Along with this performance, Rain gave concerts on July 30 and 31 in Tokyo and on August 3 and 4 in Osaka as part of his “Rainy Day-Japan” tour.

omigosh! you have to get a copy of his Rainy Day concert! :excited: you won't regret watching it :drool:

good news for Bi and his fans. as you all know, there are ridiculous rumors flying around about Bi recently :dry: someone's finally taking action on it!
Bi, "Will Eradicate Rumors at Home and Abroad"

(Seoul=Yonhap News) Lee Eun-Jung reporter = Bi’s agency (JYP Entertainment) revealed that they will take strict countermeasures against baseless rumors circulating about him both at home and abroad. On the 11th, according to one Vietnamese daily newspaper’s internet edition, “Song Hye-Kyo purchased illicit drugs at one Hong Kong night club, and Bi and actor Song Il-Kook were with her at that time.”

Also, another rumor was spread in Korea about Bi having said something unmentionable about Hyori by phone on live radio during g.o.d member, Danny Ahn’s KBS radio show, “Kiss the Radio.”

Regarding these incidents, JYP revealed on the 13th that, “Baseless rumors that are circulated both at home and abroad will be dealt with through serious measures and we will no longer just sit back and overlook them just because he is an entertainer.” “In addition to preparing to take legal action against the Vietnamese media, we have already contacted Seoul Kangnam police and are currently pursuing the perpetrator of the radio rumor.”

Furthermore, regarding the Vietnamese rumor, “[Bi] is not even acquainted with Song Il-Kook, and we have no idea how something like this could come out,” adding that “the intention was to destroy Bi’s always sincere and clean image so we intend to eradicate the source of these rumors.”

Instances like this are increasing where internet rumors are spread by people hiding behind their anonymity. Also, as foreign media’s interests in Korean wave stars increase, there are increasing instances of irresponsible reporting where news is circulated without first verifying its veracity. The Hong Kong news that Bi will shoot a movie with Jackie Chan is also included in this.

According to one entertainment representative, “Baseless rumors that are spread either at home or abroad ultimately smear the image of Korean wave stars who are active overseas,” adding, “of course with local rumors but also with overseas rumors, we cannot just remain as spectators.”

jessica: thanks for the news as usual!! :) awww Bi cross stitch haha how cute..
i found a news article about Rain's movie with Jacky chan...

Original source: http://the-sun.orisun.com/channels/ent/20050807/

It's understood that Korean hunk Rain will be collaborating with Jackie Chan in a movie by JCE (Jackie's movie company) called <BB Plan>, to be directed by Chen Musheng. Filming is estimated to start in end October in HK. It is believed that sparks will fly off the set with this unique pairing.

As understood, the movie company is attracted to Rain's tall and handsome image. Add that to the recent wave of Hallyu, hence the movie company is trying hard to get Rain to act out this movie. It is also understood that the movie company have had contacted Rain's management agency several times to discuss about the movie, but as Rain's managerial contract involves both Korea and Japan's management agencies, the movie contract will require the consent of both agencies. The director, Chen Musheng forsees the difficulty in getting Rain to commit to the movie, hence he will flying down to Japan personally next week, to discuss the project with Rain's japanese management. Once everything is confirmed, Rain will be scheduled to come to HK and do a formal meet-up with his idol, Jackie Chan.

Our reporter telephoned the movie company to confirm this news, and their spokesperson admitted that they are indeed in talks with Rain regarding this movie project. As for the whether this collaboration will come true, the spokesperson said that they cannot confirm this as both parties has yet to sign the contract. It is understood that other than Jackie Chan and Rain, other actors involved in <BB Plan> include Eric Tsang and Samuel Hung. Rain's role in the movie will be that of an accomplished thief. Other than showing off the comedian side of him, there will also be alot of action scenes involved. Rain's fans will definitely have a ball of a time watching the movie.

20,000 tickets to Rain’s Budokan concert sold out

All 20,000 tickets to a concert to be given by singer Rain at the largest Japanese concert hall of Budokan on Sept. 2-3 were sold out in just half a day. Entitled “Rainy Day Special,” the concert is an encore performance of the singer’s earlier concerts in Tokyo on July 30-31 and Osaka on Aug. 3-4.

According to Rain’s agency, JYP Entertainment, tickets to the concert, costing 75,000 won to 85,000 won apiece, were completely sold out at three Japanese outlets in just half a day on Aug. 13.

“Although this concert is an encore performance of the ’Rainy Day ? Japan’ series, it will feature a completely new stage setting. Rain has already visited Budokan to discuss preparations,” said a person from the agency.

Japanese music experts say it is unprecedented for any given artist in Japan to hold two concerts in a row at the 10,000-seat Budokan Hall after also giving a successful concert at the Tokyo International Forum Hall, which accommodates 5,000 people. ”

Wow can you believe how popular Rain is getting in Japan? Yay, Sexy Bi hwaiting! :tongue:

I also read another article on Soompi, that wasn't as interesting, but claimed how reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan are going to Korea to try and take photos of his personal life. He's gonna be keeping a low profile to avoid scrutiny. It's very sad, poor Bi, no privacy :cry:

yay! 3 more episodes! you'll get FH withdrawal symptoms for a while, if you're really drawn into this serie ><

karen: hmm, i don't know what news you're referring to...it might have to do with SHG purchasing illicit drugs as stated in the article i posted in the previous page :crazy:

eiko: that news is another rumor :dry: i can't believe reporters can just make up things like that :crazy:

here's the article stating that the filming of Jackie Chan's movie is just another rumor that those senseless reporters brew up =/ i knew it sounded fishy when i first read that news. Bi never said Jackie's his idol either -_-

Bi: "Filming movie with Jackie Chan is a Groundless Rumor"

Asia star Bi [photo] revealed that the rumors regarding him filming a movie with Jackie Chan 청룽(성룡) are fake and groundless.

A representative from Bi's agency, JYP Entertainment, said that "These Hong Kong reports about Bi starring in a movie with Chan is not true. There has not even been any talk about this between us or anybody on Chan's side."

"Our partners from Hong Kong, Universal Music, have also recieved many queries regarding whether or not Bi was really filming the movie with Chan. They are trying to send out as many explanations as possible and are really sweating it right now."

Hong Kong news reports are currently conveying the false news that Bi, Chan, and 증지위 [dorkette's note: zheng ziyi? not sure, just sounded it out. haha looks like these are the "three highway robbers"] were starring together in a movie called "BB Project" - these three would star as three robbers and Bi will have a big and comical role. Many news reports have claimed this inaccurate information.

According to JYP Entertainment, "Last July, Bi went to Hong Kong and mentioned that he admired Jackie Chan. This information was most likely morphed into this false rumor that he is filming a movie with Chan."

JYP Entertainment also mentioned that "Bi is currently reading many synopses for a wide variety of dramas; he plans on showing everyone a new side of him through his new roles in dramas sooner or later."

On one hand, after returning from his successful concerts in Japan, Bi returned and posted a letter on his official webpage to his fans. He started off by saying, "I am back from my Japan concerts. Lately, I have been very busy while preparing for these concerts, but thanks to you, I returned [successful], safe, and sound. I was nervous because thes were my first concerts in Japan, but I was felt confident to see so many fans who came to see me from Korea. It's not only those Korean fans who came all the way to Japan to yell my name out loud, but also all those Korean fans who stayed back home who rooted for me [the cloud fans]. I thank you." He has also revealed a sort of determination regarding the Budokan concerts.

Bi said, "Next month, I will have a few concerts at the best hall in Japan, Budokan. I want to show a different side of me [different shades of me] at Budokan, and for this, I will continue to put a lot of hard work and effort into preparation for the concerts. I hope you are pleasantly anticipating these concerts, and hope to see more of your support!"

Bi also mentioned that after getting rained on at the Han Ski Resort performance [dorkette's note: a bit of loose translating here, my apologies. still have to read the letter in full. but anyways, he got sick from being stuck in the rain - and probably because he never rests] he was not in good condition; with this, he wished his fans to stay healthy.

In the present, Bi is busy while working on recording his new album. On the coming 28th, he will also be attending the MTV VMA as an Asian representative. Afterwards, on Septemeber 2nd, 3rd, he will be performing encore concerts at Tokyo Budokan as part of the "Rainy Day-Special".

jacelyn: :welcome: to the Bi thread ^^ we have a pic's thread for him in this section so go check it out :brows:

grace: i doubt it's a misunderstanding. these false news of him have been pouring in lately :-x it'll be better if the kissing scenes aren't cut out. it was so sweet :love: can't wait until you watch Sangdoo! he's so dorky and goofy in that drama :D but there are more sad scenes, so be prepared with some tissues :cry:

harmony! AISH! his cute face is partially covered! :oops: thanks for posting that pic :hugz:

beanie (hehe): you beat me to posting that news =P those lucky fans get to see him in concert twice in a row >< but i'm happy for his success there :excited:
AISH! those reporters are really ruthless! :cry: hope JYP's protecting him from that attack :worry:

are Bi's HK concert tickets already selling in HK? :?

Aug. 17, 2005
Tickets of Rain's Hongkong concert are sold out within 10minutes, as like Japan concert

Asia is numbed by the concert of Rain.

The tickets of Rain's Hongkong concert, is supposed to be held in October, are sold out within 10minutes.

Tickets of his first concert in last month and the encore concert in next month in Japan had been sold out, too.

KS production in charge of this concert said "The heat of booking is surprising. All tickets are sold out. It's the first to be sold out by only on-line booking in Hongkong"

And they said "We are concerned about scalping like last Tokyo concert because all asian fans as well as Hongkong fans are eager to get tickets of this concert."
The convention center where this concert is held is the place which global artists, like as Elton John, have performed in.
And Rain'll perform twice on 8th & 9th October.

JYPEntertainment which Rain belongs to said "Many enterprises want to sponsor "Rainy day in Hongkong" and to appoint Rain as a Cf model.

On the other hand, Rain is supposed to leave for USA to attend "2005 MTV Video Music Award" as a asian representative on upcoming 28th.

WHAT THE TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT ALREADY WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD OF IT YET?!?!?!
jess OH MY! i didn't even know they started selling already! i must hurry up and ask my friend who might have relations :rollseyes:

yesterday there was this show on TV that went to check out the Full House in Korea! you have to take some boat from a pier to this island where it is situated and it's next to a beach (as we all see from the show!) it's open for public and the house is available for rent, like a holiday lodge or something. when the camera crew went there, a group of korean fans rent the house so visiters from outside weren't able to go inside! but the host talked to the fans who let them go inside to see the house. everything's almost the same as in the show except there are more photos around the house, and that huge Rain poster in his room (the one you see once you get in) has been changed to a poster of Rain hugging SHG. lucky people staying in the house, but unlucky for those who went all the way there to visit but unable to get in!

eiko~I have heard a lot about Sang Doo! It sounds so good and I loved Bi in Full House. . . but I heard it was sad. . . and I am such a sap, I always cry when I watch sad tv shows! :cry: But I will be brave and try to watch it!!

jessica~I know what you mean now! I just finished watching FH and I feel so empty, I want more!!! When he was being shy :shy:. . . .that was soooo cute!! :love: Maybe I will go watch the last episode one more time. . .

Too bad Bi won't be starring in a movie with Jackie Chan, I know he would do a wonderful job! I am addicted to him now that I have finished FH. He is such a good actor! It is so strange to think that he is actually a very quiet guy. . . .

I heard a rumor that Bi will be at the "Latin America Music Award" in Mexico on 20th October. I don't know if it's true. Hmmm.....it will be a great start for him to open the US market. Bi is going to very popular soon. it'll be so cool when a korean singer like Bi stands out someplace far away than korea**^_^**

essica > whaT? really? tourists could actually visit FH? aww~ i would so wana make a trip to korea then. well, ive been tempted to visit since watching all these k dramas, with such nice scenery. hehe... but being inside FH would be so cool, lol esp young jae's room. and, i guess that house DOES belongs to someone, so...yea, the owner probably would remove rain's poster. sigH~ well, but i love the poster of him hugging SHG too.

jenna > wahahah~ u were so cute saying 'quote :you wanna see my pic too.

i'm up to epi 11 ^^ he's the cutest dork in this drama don't pass up the chance to see his great acting skills! you can never tell that he's a quiet and shy person from his dramas or performances. that's what make him so great. he's such a professional
I agree with you on that. :happy:

Xi_Xian, I super agree. You have to watch Sangdoo. Rain was really good there! Funny too. If you know Lee Dong Gun from sweet 18 and Lovers in Paris... He's cute too!

babycruzer, I heard about the Latin America Music awards too. But I also don't know if its true.

It's surprising how Rain's Hong Kong Concert is already sold out. The concert will be on october... sold out now but it's only august!! Soooo fast! :excited:

gracecherry, Yes, tourists can visit the location of FH. Tourists can also visit other korean drama filming locations too.

So cute.. and I wish I understood Korean too..

Adeline: omgosh.. that's soo cool!! I wish I could go see that house. Do you know which show it was?? Coz I want to download it hehe.

alrite i m rite here now in starbucks, but oh gosh, the connection is sooo slow, i dont think i cud DL all the clips i wanted. aisH~ this is dissapointing. well, the speed or line is kinda unstable, its 11 mbs at the good signal strength, and then only 5.5 at the low. oh my, i m DLing 4 files at the same time now, i guess i shouldnt expect too much, coz i m DLing the final epi of FH on YSI, and the making/behind the scene of it which are BOTH very large files. and also the rain bday party clip & ik sook chi ahn na seo mv. so i gues, thats pretty much a heavy burden for the internet too LOL.....

alrites i would talk all about the clips i watched once i watched them...then, hahah, got to spazz with jenna and jess~~

oh gosh....i ve been sitting here more than 1 half hr and the server reset when my huge DLs are up to 50% , this is soooo cruel and such a pain, argH. and i tried 2nd ,3rd , 4th time, now i give up. i m not coming to this particular hotspot anymore! i shall go back to the previous one. aish....sad.

Babycruzer - The rumor's true

Grace - sounds like a hard day :console: It's nice to watch Rain clips now huh?
a chat with u and jessica had brought me off limits...haha, i dont noe if i would be normal again, LOL..
It's okay, it's for the better! :brows:

Sweep - yeah, they're probably going to include U.S. Probably just LA b/c of the huge Korean population (think Korean festival) and NYC. I'm sure if he comes to the US, he'll try and speak a little English.

Karen - I don't like Jackie Chan that much either. He was funny in Rush Hour, but besides that I think he's a little overrated. It's so weird how he owns all those gyms in different parts of Asia. My friend's jie jie applied for membership and there were pics of him everywhere! :wacko:

Grace - i would talk all about the clips i watched once i watched them...then, hahah, got to spazz with jenna and jess I'm glad you recognize the fangirling process :laughing:
Aja aja clip hwaiting! I'll really try to send episdoes of FH to you, but I can't include subs :shy: you can dl those very fast off of d-addicts though.

Swee - I saw that FH clip you sent me. Bi was sooooo cute when he was filming the Three Bears song and kept messing up! :love:

i found the translation to that Vita500 CF i posted in the DL thread. it's not what i've expected...and i don't quite like the concept, even though Bi looked absolute adorable during that duck/boat scene :oops:

August 2005. CF. Vita 500

(RAIN is running to chase after a taxi in which Girl A is in the back seat)

[Running = good for my body] (narration: Running does good to your body)
(narration: Vita 500 plus into my body)

(RAIN with Girl B in a Duckling boat)
Girl B: You were with another girl yesterday, weren’t you?
RAIN: Huh? (denies with the hand gesture) Uh~ uh~
[Duck feet = good for your body]

[In my body + Vita 500] (narration: Vita 500 plus into my body)
Caffeine free!

==================================
[I]A Korean saying about a duck, “Presenting duck’s feet to disguise one's having eaten a chicken” is for the situation when someone denies one’s guilty act. Traditionally Koreans prefer chickens to ducks. Chicken dish is regarded as better food, and if someone consumed a chicken without permission, s/he would be severely accused. Thus, when such a situation happened, s/he would, should show duck’s feet in order to be excused, i.e. to tell a lie :)
Here this cf used the concept of the old saying to the situation when a young man who has to tell a lie to his girlfriend.

Although I don't deny RAIN's acting is excellent... Still not used to the concept of RAIN’s telling a lie to his girlfriend… i.e. I don’t like this cf :P genevieve

babycruzer: i've read that news from Sexy Bi also. well see if it's true when the date nears. i'm crossing my fingers and pray that it's true :excited:

grace: Full House doesn't belong to anybody...except KBS i think. it was built specifically for this serie. i don't think they'll sell it to anybody :unsure: that poster is too distracting anyway, so it's best if they replaced it :rolleyes:
server reset doesn't have to do with the net connection, unless you were disconnected while dling. it has to either do with the YSI server or the file. i had that problem with dling big files on YSI before and it was a pain >.< hope you got all your dls done by now :sweat: if you need subs for the last episode, i can upload it for you ^^ don't you just want to pinch him when he was all shy and hiding behind that yellow blanket :D

sandy: that tour does include the U.S., but i don't know about the east coast. gasoos rarely come here to hold concerts =/ most likely, he'll speak korean but he might throw in a few english words. i remember when se7en was here, he only spoke korean and only yelled out "??? here in NY" while he was performing (??? - can't make out what he said :oops: )

heres some news from Rain's scent :excited:

Rain – Offered High Price to be PEPSI new ambassador

(extracted from Entertainment News – Oriental Daily News, 23 August 2005)

Korean popular male artiste Rain who swept Asia recently, had gain popularity among both male and female fans. Due to his popularity, it has changed the initial plan of Pepsi which does not intend to offer Korean artistes to be Pepsi’s ambassador. Now they have changed their mind to offer a high price to invite Rain to be its new “blue blood”.
For the past 2 years, Pepsi had spent enormous amount of fund in search of the world popular mega stars, offering them to be its ambassador. They include Soccer stars : Henry, Beckham, Taiwan popular Idols F4, Jay Chow, Hong Kong stars Edison Chen, Nicholas Xie, Louis Koo etc. Now with the recent up and rising Korean star Rain, Pepsi is quick to put him in its list.

Sponsor Hong Kong Concert
According to source, Pepsi has recently sent a representative to fly over to Korea to discuss details with Rain and they were about to sign the contract. When the reporter called Pepsi’s spoke person Ms Li to verify about this matter, she didn’t deny, adding that “At this point, we can’t reveal yet”. Also according to source, Pepsi shall be the Sponsor of Rain’s October concert in Hong Kong, but Rain’s Hong Kong Manager Ms Chan Ka Ying responded “At this moment, it’s not convenient to talk about this, there shall be announcement shortly!”

A threat to Jay Chow
As the old Chinese saying “One mountain cannot be ruled by several tigers”, Pepsi has somehow created an internal competitions, as Rain’s rising popularity is getting strong, Jay having the same feature of “single eye-lid” as Rain, his status has somehow been affected, there’s a rumour that the skin product brand DHC has the intention to switch from Jay to Rain to be their ambassador( :shock: is that good or bad??), in order to capture Korea, Japan, China market to expand their business.
Besides being popular for his R&B songs and dance steps, Rain’s lead role in “Full House” had also emotionally touched many Asian women hearts, he has even successfully penetrated into the Mainland China market, the most difficult task. His recent Beijing concert had caused a tremendous hit, resulting in creating “Korean Fever” in Mainland China.

Pop Stars Rain, Shinhwa Team Up for ‘Power’ Concert

Cathy Rose A. Garcia, Sydney Kim
Staff Reporter, Contributing Writer

The two most popular acts in Korea right now, Rain and Shinhwa, shared the stage during ``The Power Concert'' last Saturday.
This exclusive concert was organized by the steel company POSCO as part of its concert series at the POSCO Center in Samsong-dong, southern Seoul.

You probably didn’t hear of tickets going on sale since admission was limited to die-hard fans who entered the online raffle on the POSCO Web site earlier this month.

Thousands reportedly applied online, but only some 800 lucky fans were able to get in. Even a handful of fans from Japan flew over to watch the concert.

With the concert billed as ``Bi Versus Shinhwa,'' fans expected powerful singing, fancy dance moves and lots of charisma from Korea’s hottest heartthrobs.

First on stage was Expression Crew, a breakdancing group composed of DJ, MC, B-boy and Graffiti. Expression Crew has won several breakdancing competitions since it was formed in 2001.

Expression Crew showed off their amazing breakdancing abilities. A member even performed as a human beatbox as other members did individual freestyle breakdancing.

Expression Crew’s performance was highly appreciated but once the boys exited the stage, you could feel a ripple of anticipation as the crowd waited for the concert’s main acts.
Cheers erupted when Rain made his entrance. Wearing all black with sunglasses and a beanie, Rain started with ``Running Away from the Sun,'' one of the hits on his second album.

Rain, who is fast gaining popularity as an actor and pop star in Asia, has again proven that he is not just one of the best singers in K-pop but also one of the best dancers.

The crowd was thrown into a frenzy when Rain mischievously said ``Summer’s almost over, but I’m always hot!’’ (ohh yea :whistle: )

He performed his latest hits, ``It’s Raining,’’ ``I Do,'' and earlier hit songs such as ``Evil Man'' and ``Instead of Goodbye.'' It was quite amusing to see female fans of all ages go wild whenever he smiled or winked at the crowd.

After Rain’s performance, the crowd was pumped up for more. Even louder cheers greeted Shinhwa as they entered the stage with their dance hit ``Shooting Star.''

However, there were only five Shinhwa members on stage: Shin Hye-sung, Lee Min-woo, Kim Dong-wan, Andy and Jun-jin.

The group was one member short, and Eric apologized for his absence in a short video shown on the big screen. The group also asked for the crowd’s understanding since Andy apparently had a problem with his throat and could not sing well.

Despite these problems, the five guys managed to charm the audience with songs from their seventh album Brand New, including ``Crazy,'' ``How do I Say,'' ``Angel'' and ``Oh!''

Just as their act was coming to an end, Min-woo teased the crowd by saying ``Tonight, when all of you are lying in your beds, think of us and have sweet dreams,’’ causing the fans to nearly swoon.

In recent months, Shinhwa members have found individual success. Min-woo and Hye-sung have released solo albums, while Jun-jin and Dong-wan are starring in television dramas. Andy is also set to star in a television drama, while Eric is concentrating on his film career.

However, the concert showed Shinhwa can still put on a great performance as a group.

Overall, for a concert featuring Korea’s top acts, ``The Power Concert'' was surprisingly low-key, with not many theatrics or fancy pyrotechnics.

The concert was also a bit too short, with Rain and Shinhwa performing five songs each in just 1 hour, 20 minutes.

October, Rain’s First Solo Concert

Rain’s concert tickets were completely sold out the first day of ticketing. His fans in Hong Kong, already eager, rushed to purchase Rain’s concert tickets, and in 10 minutes the tickets sold out.

Rain will be performing in Hong Kong for two days, on October 8-9, at Hong Kong’s Convention Center. His concert’s theme title is “Rainy Day in Hong Kong”, and this will be his first solo concert in Hong Kong. His tickets went on sale on the internet on August 8th, and within only 10 minutes, all tickets sold out.

Rain’s managing agency JYP Entertainment said on the 16th, “According to K’S Production who is hosting Rain’s concert in Hong Kong, ‘we usually leave a specific amount of tickets to sell on spot, but even those tickets are all sold out.’” The concert tickets went on sale for ￦70,000 and ￦50,000, but the tickets are already being sold on the black market for approximately ￦400,000, five times its original price.

In Rain’s first solo concert in Tokyo scheduled on September 2-3, the tickets sold out on the first day of ticket sales, and as if to prove his stardom in Asia, Hong Kong fans also displayed the same excitement.

During his visit to Hong Kong in July, Rain’s substitute exited the airport first for Rain’s security. And during his signature signing session at Hong Kong’s Discovery Shopping Center, approximately 20,000 fans stood in line to get his signature and see him in person. According to a personal friend of Rain, “Of the paparazzi that followed Rain around 24/7 in Hong Kong, about 10 of them are in Korea waiting for Rain in front of Gangnam’s JYP Entertainment.”

Rain is scheduled to attend “2005 MTV Video Music Awards” as the representative of Asian entertainers in Florida, USA on the 28th.

Rain – Japan Budokan Concert

Source : Entertainment News – Oriental Daily News, Hong Kong (24 August 2005)

Though reportings that the tickets of Korean young mega star - Rain’s 2-days Japan Budokan Special Concert in September, has all (20,000tickets) been sold out, Japan’s ticketing website till now has lots of tickets in query, there are some people putting up tickets with starting bid price as low as JPY1 in the website for public auction. This ticket sale situation is an extreme opposite that of Hong Kong’s overwhelming response.

New Drama’s Female Lead – Shin Mina
2 days ago, Korean star Park Yong-Ha had his solo concert at Budokan, being the first Korean ever to hold a concert at Budokan, following him on 2 and 3 September at Budokan, it will be Rain’s solo concert, and at this moment the Japan’s ticketing website still have ample tickets available on sale and it is not as what reported that Demand is more than Supply. At this moment, there are a number of low-price concert tickets with bidding price as low as JPY1 available in Japan auction website. It is believe that these tickets were probably the “complimentary (not for sale)” tickets given to sponsors and media reporters etc.
In fact, it seems that Rain’s popularity in Japan is not as reknown as that in Korea and Hong Kong. His well-known drama “Full House” is now being air in Japan’s cable TV, but he has not made any appearances in the Music program, so his popularity is far less than that of Bae Yong-Jun, Lee Byung-Hun and Kwon Sung-Woo’s, this results in the less satisfactory response in his Budokan concert ticket sale.
As for his forthcoming Korea’s KBS new drama, the production unit has announced that Shin Mina will be the leading actress. She is well-known for her acting roles in drama “Beautiful Days” and movie “Volcano High”. In this new drama, Shin Mina will act as a popular actress who has a romantic encounter with Rain.

Hi everyone! So far I have watched the last episode of Full House about 3 times. . . . :love: Aaahh!! I just love those sappy scenes. Has anyone heard about the new drama Bi is doing? My friend sent me an email telling me a little bit about it. Here ya go:

Bi is returning to the drama scene.
This coming early November, Bi will star in KBS 2TV's miniseries drama, "This Love That I Want to Kill" [scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee, producer Kim Kyu-Tae]. The drama will have 16 episodes total. Bi will play the male main lead, Kang Bok-Gu. It will have been one year and two months since his last appearance as an actor in "Full House".
Kang Bok-Gu will be involved in a inevitable love relationship while he works as a fighter F-1 player. His love interest turns out to be his older brother's ex-girlfriend from the past, Eun-Seok, who has now grown up to be a top model. This relationship will have its twists and turns.
Not too long ago, Bi had planned on returning to acting through "Cruel Love" but this endeavor - as well as Bi's acting comeback - was put on hold. This new drama has significance because Lee Kyung-Hee had written "Sangdoo!" - in which Bi debuted - and "MISA". The immense popularity of these dramas has already captured the interest of many people and broadcast stations.
PD Kim Kyu-Tae has recently produced "Blue Skies of Jeju Island", for which he recieved great praise and respect. This combination of Bi, Lee Kyung-Hee, and Kim Kyu-Tae is only furthering the anticipation and interest regarding this drama.
The female lead - the role of Eun-Seok - is still unknown at this time. Casting should, however, wrap up by the end of this week and filming will start next month.

I didn't see this info in earlier pages so hopefully it is relevant! I'm so sorry if you already knew all about this! :oops: I am really excited that there will be a new drama. Though my friend told me it won't start showing until November. . . so even longer wait for English subtitles. I think I must just start learning Korean! (right after Chinese of course ^^) Oh yeah and I have added Sangdoo to my list of Korean dramas to buy! Just have to wait until the paycheck comes. . . .:dry: So impatient when it comes to Bi!

Hi, aww~ that news of bi being a threat to jay, is sooo, argH….i dunno what to say, when my mom told me that pepsi is probably gonna change some Taiwanese spokesperson and replace them with Rain, I was happy. But then, when I know they meant jay, I was like WHAT?! aisH, suddenly become speechless. I thought pepsi would wana remove some not so famous anymore ppl, mayb like F4? Or someone else, jus not jay. hmm….it would be the best, if jay n bi could be in the same cm, though.

Shin Min ah. I just know her from a movie called Madeline that also starred Cho in Sung (Memories in BAli) and TBJ ads with Rain and Cha Ta Hyun. She's a good actress. Her dimples suit her.

I can't wait to see Rain's new drama. Since he was good in FH and Sangdoo, I'm really looking forward to this. Rain a fighter...with his nice bod, and an older girl(?), I guess this is a more mature role. The cable of My friend has KBS so I guess she will watch the drama as it is playing in Korea. Gosh, I so envy her.

When I heard that Rain might be a Pepsi endorser and might be a threat to Rain. I was just torn. Right now, I am totally into Rain but I still like Jay.

Jessica, I still hope he goes to NY for the world tour. *cross fingers* MTV vmas is so near already. Even if Rain is not performing, I know there will be other cool performances.

I thought pepsi would wana remove some not so famous anymore ppl, mayb like F4?
^ i hope so :whistle:

beanie: i'm done with Sangdoo! :excited: :cry: i didn't expect this to be so emotional and heart wrenching :cry: Bi's acting blew me away! :cloud9: i didn't like the ending very much though :oops: :cry: hmm, did you upload more pics for Sangdoo?! i'll visit the piccies thread after this ^^
when are you leaving for Uni?

swee, welcome back! :hugz: after watching Sangdoo, i have my doubts on which one i like better. Bi's acting was amazing in Sangdoo. he can really play a diverse role. but i prefer romantic comedies so FH will always remain my favorite.
totally agree with you about Bi and Jay appearing in the same Pepsi ad! :excited:

Adeline: aigoo :console: is there no other way for you to get the tickets? :worry:

eiko: thanks for posting up those news :hugz: i just read those today from Sexy Bi. i'm excited about the Pepsi offer! i can't wait to see him in those cool ads...but i'm also worried about him competing with Jay :sweat:
those lucky HKers get to see his Rainy Day concert :cry: so his Budukan concert tickets weren't selling too well? >.< those ppl will be kicking themselves for not going after they realize what they've missed :whistle:

The crowd was thrown into a frenzy when Rain mischievously said ``Summer’s almost over, but I’m always hot!’’
kekeke...most definitely :rolleyes:

here are 2 caps from their TBJ photoshoot so you can see how she looks like. the caps aren't that great though :shy:

rachelle: :welcome: to the Bi thread! stop by more often and your interest in him will grow =]

sandy: Bi is going to perform during the pre-show for the VMA, if i remember correctly. so keep your eyes glued to the tv from beginning to end, just in case ^__^

Xi_Xian: Bi's goodies are worth the wait :happy: here's an updated news about his new drama:

Bi-Shin Mina Fall Into a "Love That I Could Kill"/"Godd*mn Love"
[if you don't get it, it's a play on words regarding the drama title]
[°í´º½º 2005.08.23 12:50:09]
http://kr.news.yahoo.com/service/news/shel...0823125009765a3
translated by dorkette at soompi

Shin Mina (21) will be casted as "Bi's girlfriend".

The drama, "This Love That I Could Kill", which has garnered much interest and speculation after musician, Bi, signed onto the project, now has a female lead.

"This Love That I Could Kill" [PD Kim Kyu-Tae] will air in November, following the KBS drama, "Wedding", and boasts scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee [MISA]. The drama has already cast the popular star, Bi [Jung Ji-Hoon], and this story about a heartbreaking love has caught the attention of many.

After appearing in the drama "Ddae-Ryuh" [Punch], Shin Mina is reappearing the drama world. She has been previously portrayed as a pure and simple girl with a great deal of intelligence, as well as a cheerful demeanor, but in this upcoming production, will attempt to take on a role that will make the audience shed tears.

The character that Shin Mina will be portraying, Cha Eun-Seok, carries a mysterious aura and is a top movie star [dorkette's note: i guess the character changed? not a top model anymore?] blessed with riches, fame, and popularity amongst the masses of people in Korea. Even with this fame and prosperity, she is a down-to-earth, modest, and young movie star [we're still talking about her character] with a bubbly personality. However, she has also become Bok-gu's [Jung Ji-Hoon/Bi's character] center of attention and together, they fall in love -- but unfortunately, it is a heartbreaking and fateful love that cannot take place.

After gaining popularity by appearing in "Beautiful Life/Sweet Life/Wonderful Life [dorkette's note: i freaking don't know the title of this drama so i apologize]" with Lee Byung-Hun, Shin Mina also took part in several movies, "Sad Movie" "Yah Soo Wah Mi Nyuh [dorkette's note: don't know the direct translation for this one either, and i'm a little too busy to look it up so i apologize again]". It has been said that Shin Mina originally was looking at more movie opportunities, but when she read the synopsis for "This Love That I Could Kill", her interest was peaked.

With Lee Kyung-Hee's script and Kim Kyu-Tae's directing, as well as the appearance of stars Bi and Shin Mina, this drama is expected to flaunt a modern, yet passionate, sort of love.

Thank you so much for the news Eiko and Jess!! Also I would like to correct an article posted on the last page: when Bi was at Discovery Park Mall in HK there was NO autograph session, trust me, I would have been the first in line!!!! Also, there was more like 1,000 fans not 20,000! aigoo ><, that reporter must clarify her facts better!

Is DOHC the same as DHC? :glug: If so, then I guess the rumor was true. :hmm:

Jess - so you finished la! Wasn't it incredible, his acting was so versatile. So many raw emotions :rolleyes:, I hated the ending too!! I thought it could have been done better and been more clear. I just arrived at college today, and moved in and am already spazzing!!! :happy: Oh thanks for the pics, that's who that is! I'm glad it's her and not the other "skinny legged" girl! Can't have models getting too close to our gasoo now can we? :-x

Grace - awww thanks sweetie, you make me feel so loved!! :hugz: I'm back! *pokes* I can't stay away from Bi for long. Oooh, and I have a funny story. Today my roommate designed the room while I was out to eat, and I came back and my mom said (she was snooping in my bag :dry:) don't you have a poster? kekeke~ she took it out and posted it right above my bed!!! hehehe, it's scary how she knows how I like Bi :shy:

I don't Bi can compete with Jay, they are not comparable, they're music and styles are too different. Peeps should appreciate each artist individually for what they can showcase, and not clump them together! :-x

Xi Xian - Wasn't the last episode just great?! The kiss, the sweet words ~ Bi knows how to work it! :D Yes see Sangdoo!! :excited:

Your banner :gulp: *gasping for air* You like his lips too?!?! :drool: I want to lick and suck on them too, where can I buy those lollipops? Wait, forget the lollipops, I want the real thing!!! :tongue:

Swee Yee - Yes protect the dreams, share only with me!! :shifty: I know you are busy, we will spazz when the time is right :console: Until then, I will be anxiously awaiting your arrival! (Me and of course, Bi :brows: )

Karen - Jackie Chan gives me the creeps sometimes, he's too energetic :crazy: I promise you, you will NEVER regret putting Rain on your wall!!! :tongue: Sweet dreams come to you!!!!

eiko: i posted the pics and clip for that ad already so go dl it if you haven't already ^^

jenna beanie: i don't think DOHC is the same as DHC :glug: ...the first is a clothing line, and the latter is...???
it's not that the ending wasn't clear for Sangdoo...it's how it ended >< it's so abrupt and it was confusing at first, until you watch it to the very end :cry:
you're in Uni already?! :excited: that's so quick! O.o glad to know you're settled in already and back to spazzing with us :hugz: lol, what's wrong with that "skinny legged" girl? :shifty: some ppl were bashing on Shin Mina also >< i hope she's compatible with Bi's character. i want Lim Soo Jung to be the lead actress, but i doublt that'll happen.

i found the translation to the DOHC clip i posted in the DL thread:

RAIN: Yes. Ah. It's for an apparel ad. I am working for the ad again after a while.
Q: When do you have a rest then?

Reporter: Hello! So nice to meet you!
RAIN: (making a bow) Yes.
Reporter: I finally meet a real man Bi. The expression on your face is more professional now!
RAIN: Yes. With hollow eyed (Laughs) :oops:
Reporter: (toughing RAIN's arm) One look at your torso! You must've trained yourself everyday?
RAIN: Yes. Er..Whenever I have time...I do exercise sacrificing my sleep. I am doing that these days.
(* note: RAIN is preparing for the K-1 player character for his new drama.)
Reporter: Amazing!

[RAIN and the photo artist Yi, Jinho are in a serious discussion]
[Four missions given to Bi: Excuse me; Thank you; I am sorry; I love you]
RAIN: (pointing his cheeks with his finger) It's like I'm putting on a bride's makeup. :D
(*note: A bride at Korean traditional wedding puts a big pink round blush on her cheeks.)
[RAIN poses for different missions: Excuse me; Thank you]
Q: Concept of the shooting?
RAIN: They ask me to show opposite expressions against commonly expected ones in order to achieve the maximum effect.
Reporter: Do you have any expression that you frequently use?
RAIN: I love you? Oh..It's embarrassing.(walks away to the other room). :love: :cloud9:

[posing for I am sorry; I love you]

Reporter: Wondering if the image of your ideal woman is changed?
RAIN: Yes. I want a woman who is very good at cooking above all. A bit chubby and gentle. :hmm:
Reporter: That's my ideal woman!
RAIN: Is that so? Yes. Women have to be chubby. Yes. You ladies out there, don't try to lose weight. :excited: :shifty: :whistle:
Reporter denies.

[2005.07. RAINy Day in Japan]
[2005.02. MAA in Thailand]

RAIN: Well, these days there are many rumors about me. Ah.. they are totally not true. I believe my fans who know me would trust me. And I was really hurt by those rumors.
Korean hallyu stars are going to other countries and working hard for Korea. And I hope people know that we are working hard. I want all of you to be our protecting shield. Then people of other countries cannot help but accept the truth.

(To the viewers of SBS): Now the weather tells us that Autumn is around the corner. You must be careful from the Burberry Man (Laughs) (*note: a sick psychopath who displays his nude under his burberry).
You be happy!

Thank you! This has been Reporter Jeong.

heres the one about his ideal gf :love:

Rain whose Ideal Type has Changed.., but What has Not Changed...?

사람들에게는 누구나 이상형이 있기 마련이지만, 시간이 지나면 사람을 보는 시각이 달라져 이상형도 점점 바뀔 수밖에 없습니다. 톱 가수 비의 이상형도 시간이 지남에 따라 바뀌었습니다.
Each person has his or her ideal type, but as time goes by, their tastes toward people change; and so do their ideal types change. The ideal type of Rain has somewhat changed as time passes.

비의 이상형은 2년전까지만 해도 긴 생머리에 청순한 이미지, 첫눈에 느낌이 좋고, 착하고 애교 많고 스타일이 뛰어난 커리어우먼 같은 여성이었습니다.
Rain’s ideal type before 2 years ago was a career-woman-like lady with long natural hair, good first impression, kind and affectionate heart and excellent style.

연예인중에서 비의 이상형을 고른다면 고현정인데, 실제로 비는 지난2003년 KBS2TV'연예가중계'와의 인터뷰에서 이상형을 묻는 질문에 고현정이라고 답하기도 했습니다.
If Rain’s ideal type is chosen from entertainers, it is Goh Hyunjung. Take the interview with KBS-2 TV program ‘Newsrelay of Entertainment World(연예가중계)’ 2003 for example, there Rain answered it might be Goh Hyunjeong to the question of ‘who might be his ideal type.’

그러나 2년의 시간이 지난 지금, 이상형이 바뀌었습니다.
But now in 2 years since, the ideal type has changed.

비는 24일 방송된 SBS TV '생방송 TV연예'와 가진 인터뷰에서 이상형을 묻는 질문에 "무조건 요리를 잘했으면 좋겠다.
To the question of ‘what might be his ideal type’ at the interview with SBS TV program ‘Live Broadcasting TV Entertainment Circles(생방송 TV연예)’ last 24th, he opened his ideal type saying, “I would like her to be a good cooker.

또 통통한 체형에 작고 아담하고 포근한 느낌이 드는 여자"라며 "여자는 좀 통통해야 한다.
And I would like her to be somebody of a short, neat and warm-atmospheric woman with a roundish physical form. I should say woman should be more or less plump or chubby, basically.

(시청자)여러분 살 빼지 마십시오."라며 자신의 이상형을 공개하였습니다.
(Audience,) you please don’t lose weight.” :D

이는 지난 6월 비가 자신의 생일파티 현장에서 밝힌 이상형과 동일합니다.
This is the same as the ideal type which Rain clarified in his birthday party spot last June.

지난 6월 25일 서울 광운대학교에서 있었던 자신의 스물네 번째 생일파티 현장에서 비는 뱃살이 조금 넉넉한 여자, 찰랑거리는 머리와 긴 손가락을 가진 여자, 청바지가 잘 어울리는 여자, 오징어 볶음을 잘 만드는 여자, 내 품에 쏙 안길만한 작은 체구, 세상에서 자기만을 가장 사랑해주는 여자를 자신의 이상형이라고 밝힌 바 있습니다.
In his 24th birthday party spot at Gwangwoon University Seoul June 25, there Rain spoke about his ideal type-to-be: a lady with a little abundant belly flesh, a lady with jingling hair and long fingers, a lady whose jeans suit well, a best making lady of fried squid, a small lady who is armful in my bosom, and above all a lady who loves exclusively him alone. :brows:

이상형 조건 중 변하지 않는 것이 하나 있다면, '세상에서 자기만을 가장 사랑해주는 여자'.
Of all the conditions for ideal types, there is Rain’s never-changing one, which is a ‘lady who loves exclusively him alone.’

비는 자신의 애인의 '남자친구'의 존재를 절대 인정하지 않습니다.
Rain never acknowledges the entity of ‘boyfriend’ of his girlfriend.

남자와 여자사이에는 절대 친구사이가 될 수 없다며 다소 보수적인(?) 생각을 가지고 있는 것.
There is absolutely no friendship relation between man and woman, according to what he thinks rather conservatively(?).

지난해 SBS TV '야심만만'에 출연하여 "여자와 남자사이는 절대 친구가 될 수 없다.
In the SBS TV program ‘Full of Ambition(YaShimManMan야심만만)’ he appeared last year, Rain said his philosophy about love as follows: There is absolutely no friendship relation between male and female.

왜냐하면 언제든지 불씨가 생길 수 있다. 누가 터뜨리느냐가 문제다. 남자가 화근이 될 수도 있고 여자가 화근이 될 수도 있다.
Because any time there might happen any seed of fire. The problem is who breaks the seed. Male could be the cause of later trouble, or female could be the cause of later trouble, too.

정말 여자가 남자를 사랑한다면, 다른 남자를 절대 만나선 안 된다.
If a woman truly loves a man, she must meet no other man else.

남자도 정말 그 여자를 사랑한다면 자신만을 바라볼 수 있도록 여자를 위해 언제 어디서든 만사를 제쳐놓고 갈 수 있어야 한다. 그게 사랑이다."며 "나에게도 애인이 생긴다면 다른 여자를 절대 안 만난다.
If a man as well truly loves a woman, he must run to her with everything behind any time any place so that she may miss exclusively him ever afterward. Indeed, that is love, I should say. If there ever comes a sweetheart for me, I cannot even imagine I will meet any other woman else than my sweetheart.

그게 누나가 되었든 동생이 되었든 일적으로든 절대 사적인 자리를 갖지 않는다. 남자는 계속 참아야 한다. 왜냐하면 남자니까.
Whoever that another woman be, older person, younger person or anybody, whether it be in business or in any situation, I can never imagine I will share a private space with anybody else than my sweetheart. Man must ever be patient; because he is a man.

남자는 속안에 짊어지고 있다. 나중에는 터지게 되어 있다. 그걸 여자 분들이 조금이라도 생각해준다면 아무리 친구라도 다른 남자를 만나면 안 된다."고 자신의 사랑에 대한 철학을 밝힌 바 있습니다.
Male bears a burden inside. It tends to break out. If girls acknowledge even a bit of the information, you girls ought absolutely not to meet any other male, no matter how close a friend he be.”

한편 비는 '생방송 TV연예'와의 인터뷰에서 "요즘 들어 떠도는 악성루머들이 많은데, 정말 있을 수 없는 일이고, 나를 알고 있는 팬들이라면 나를 믿어줄 것이다.
Meanwhile, as against the malignant rumor that went around lately, Rain expressed his current state of mind inside saying, “There have been a few malignant rumors going around. It is really that which is unthinkable and impossible. I know the fans who know me will trust me. (of course we trust you! :hugz: )

정말 악성루머에 마음이 아팠다."며 "한류스타들이 우리나라를 위해서 열심히 뛰고 있고, 또 열심히 한다는 것만 알아 달라.
I was really hurt by those malignant pieces of rumor. Would you acknowledge at least that Korean Wave stars have worked hard for Korea and are working hard, please. :cry:

여러분들이 방패막이가 되어 달라. 그러면 다른 나라 사람들도 다 인정할 수밖에 없을 것이다."라며 항간에 떠돌았던 악성 루머에 대해 자신의 심경을 털어놓았습니다.
I wish you Koreans first to be the shield for me in the behind. Then, the people in other areas will not be able to do nothing but recognize my innocence.”

LOL... but well, its true, i mean... if he is SUCH a conservative man, in person, i m pretty sure,that those negative rumours earlier on, really, would dissapoint and hit him, rite on his face, well...its displaying the image of rain being the very open and social kinda entertainers, who sleeps around simply. argH~ poor bi.

thanks eiko for the news. haha

rachelle > oh gosh, so u ARE buying it! ooh...i just wish i hav the money to, i m just way toooo broke this mth... aww. anyways, i see. even after conversion i gues his album is still a lil cheaper in Sg. hehe~

Have you guys seen this thread here--> http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13791

grace: Yup, I just saw it and it's SGD$20.90.

teresa: I saw the headline the minute I logged in. The thread is kinda funny. Why the comparison? Just because of the endorsement thingy? Then... ha.ha.ha.
Ya, I dont fancy the shirt ripping act too. :sweat:

Anyone bought his concert dvd yet? I was so tempted to buy but it's so expensive. Almost SGD$60. :oops:

teresa > yes i read the thread, and thank goodness, that u dropped by and spoke some justice to it. i totally agree with you. why is there the comparison, and i dont get it, rain take over jay? in what sense???

rachelle > yea, thats pretty expensive eh? hehe, perhaps u shall think longer first,hehe...i cant afford his new album too, the japanese version, hehe.

hi ppl > ive posted my opinion there. will quote it here too.

quote :
oh regarding this news, well....hmm, i do really like rain ,a LOT, but jay remains jay, it doesnt change, jay has influence me way too much, and his music has accompanied me for all these while. and i guess, there is NO point to compare, who is more popular or better, becoz, these standards are all different to different ppl, hehe.

At first, i was shocked to read the news of pepsi having intentions to change spokesperson. jay is STILL very popular, dont these cm brands see that? i mean, he is still the leading taiwanese artiste, and also still very representative of asia, rain is rising on the other hand, but that doesnt mean he will take over jay, or want to take over. Jay is just pretty quiet now, coz he is in the process of doing the final preparations for his new album... he has this lil period of hibernation every year. i m sure, once his new album is out, his status will regain back to the way it is.

even jay wants the asian entertaintment circle to be more variety, jay isnt selfish, he wanted the westerners to noticed the asian music and entertaintment potential... and he did his very best to impress us, and them... and make us proud, and rain is just doing the same thing now. everyone is striving hard for the asian circle, so i hope... that, these commercial companies, dont make things sound twisted , or those news writer, writing these news in a way like, using words such as REPLACE. argH~ its not that way.

oh gosh, ive got to say, its dissapointing and sad to hear some of those very extreme comments like, they are waiting to see rain DIE. they hav their opinions to express their interest in which ever artiste, but, some of the comments are really toooo, hard against rain.

Hi Irina!

Jessica, Rain will be performing at the pre-show??? whoa! :excited:

Question: Is the VMAs still pushing through? I talked to my sis yesterday and she said that there will be a hurricane in Florida and that the show might be cancelled.

08-27-2005, 06:04 PM

I think it would be cool to see future Pepsi ads.. Jay and Rain .. For me it's really hard to choose between them because they are both so different.. but I don't think it would be a threat since they aren't replacing Jay with Rain right? (regarding Pepsi not DHC). That's also how I feel about the 'My Detest for the Stereotyped Rain of HK [Frustration]'.. they are both really different artist. I just think it's weird to be fustrated at something like this.

About the VMAs, is Rain really performing? Because I looked at their website and I didn't catch anything about Rain.. and sweep, I don't think it'll be cancelled.

Swee Yee: How did your trip to the cd shop go?? Yupyup, I think because my version was printed in China, it was cheaper. Most Chinese/Korean/Japanese here is about $20+ CAD but I bought Rain's for around $12 CAD.

about the second article...there are some points that i don't agree on. hope it's just the translation o_o

rachelle: you won't regret buying Sangdoo! :excited: how much is SGD$60 converted to USD? :sweat: the Rainy Day concert might be cheaper in yesasia, if you order from that site. i think it costs around $35-$40 USD.

grace: you must be very tall :glug:

i've read that thread yesterday -_- you guys brought up great points in your posts there. some of the other comments are just...nonsense :dry:

Irina: welcome back! just drop by whenever you have time :happy:

more news on his upcoming drama:
Kim Sa-Rang, part of KBS "This Love That I Want to Kill" Three-Way Relationship (Aug 26, 2005)

http://img.news.yahoo.co.kr/picture/b6/20050824/2005082412133381775_1.jpg

Talent/celebrity Kim Sa-Rang will be in a three-way relationship/love-triangle with Bi.

Kim Sa-Rang will appear in KBS 2TV's "This Love That I Want to Kill" [scriptwriter Lee Kyung-Hee, PD Kim Kyu-Tae] and will be involved in a three-way relationship with Bi and Shin Mina.

Kim Sa-Rang's character originally grew up with K-1 Fighter Bok-Gu [played by Bi] as children in a foster home/orphanage and have a close relationship in this matter.

From an early age, Bok-Gu was popular with the ladies, and Kim Sa-Rang's character tried in earnest to keep him close by. However, her efforts went so far that she sacrificed her own well-being in order to save Bok-Gu from a fire he started in the past. Sa-Rang's character has visible burns on her face.

In order to completely adapt to her character for this role, Kim Sa-Rang is also currently practicing the Kyung Sang Do Saturi dialect. Both Kim Kyu-Tae and Lee Kyung-Hee are from Kyung Nam and have been able to lend her their assistance. Also, whenever Kim Sa-Rang talks with Kim Kyu-Tae, they try their best to speak in the dialect.

According to drama/KBS representatives, Kim Sa-Rang "will have to sport visible burn marks on her face in order to represent her character. For a female actress, this will be a unique and different task. Kim Sa-Rang is putting a great deal of effort into this role to prove her worth as an actress."

"This Love that I Want to Kill" will air after "Wedding" in November.

Anyway, Rain wasn't shown in the VMAs. Its expected it though. But it would've been cool it he appeared even for a second or at the background. hehe

Oh I read in Soompi that Lil Kim's album will be out. Rain is a guest in the album. Confirmed! :excited:

Hi irina > happy to see u here too of coz. hehe...well, initially, i wasnt bothered to type anything into both that news and anti rain thread. but, as i read along most of the posts, i just cant resist to post my own opinion too. rain is just so innocent, being accused in this way. i feel like...hmm, its not he is worth nothing at all besides tat looks of it. i cant control the way others want to perceive the issue though....but as long as i commented, i feel better somehow.

oh wait, i m kinda blur here, what is the VMA show? could someone kindly explain? hehe~

jessica > hi dear, oh ya, u read those comments there too? wahaha~ CRAP. yea. oh, i m not very tall, same height as jay, haha LOL, and 10 cm shorter than bi.haha. guess what, ive got GOOD news, i rented the entire series of SANGDOO! ive jus watched till the 2nd epi today. hehe.... and holy~~ he looks so different with the specs on. oh pls educate me on some of his....skills...coz i saw him playing guitar, so he actually does play some instruments?? thats very surprising, and i m happy to know that, haha. heard someone saying that he could play drums and piano too?? :glug:

karen > hi hi, yes, it IS indeed weird to be frustrated over sumthing like that. i dont really get it why too.

HEY ppl > i read at sexy bi, that bi WAS in Miami airport!!! and they hav proof, as in, some gurls saw him and took a pic with him. well, he was there, and so??? he didnt appear for VMA?? hmm....confusing a little.

yea i was really pissed that he didn't appear at the preshow at all!! i sat thru 2 hrs of the preshow then i watched the entire vmas just in case >< i didn't like the show at all this eyar, with the exception of kelly clarkson's performance. i'm not a huge fan of her's but she was just so energetic compared to everyone else! and she sang well too, unlike everyone else.. even chris martin from coldplay was off that night

oo.. I heard the news about Lil Kim and Rain collab too.. I wonder what it would sound like. :hmm: Does anyone know what song it is called?? I want to try downloading it :happy:

And the VMAs, I watched it too.. hoping Rain would be on but he wasn't. And then this morning, my brother told me (by reading this Chinese news article) that he was only invited to watch and there was a picture of him at the red carpet. They probably didn't show him on TV though because he's not well known in the America music industry. But I heard they will air something in Korea next month or something?? I'll try to find the article and post up the picture of him at the red carpet at the Picture Thread. :-)

Grace: VMAs is the MTV Music Video Awards (US), held in Miami.. that's why Rain was at the airport. :tongue:

Kamui: Same! I thought the VMAs was boring too.. and everything seemed so .. 'gangsta'.. I liked the previous VMAs a lot more.. :oops:

Singer Rain Invited to MTV Video Music Awards

Local pop singer Rain was invited as a VIP guest to one of America’s biggest music festivals of the year, the MTV Video Music Awards 2005, to be held in Miami tomorrow.
The 23-year-old singer is the only Asian singer who received an invitation to the festival.

Hosted by hip-hop artist Diddy, the event will be attended by Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliott, U2, and Coldplay and The Killers. To incorporate the host’s party style, the event will use a white carpet instead of a red carpet for artists to walk on in the ceremony.

Green Day leads all artists with eight nominations for their videos ``Boulevard of Broken Dreams’’ and ``American Idiot.’’ Elliott has six for her clip ``Lose Control,’’ with Gwen Stefani and U2 holding five each.

The show will be aired here by MYV Korea at 6 p.m. on Sept. 24, but beforehand, the program introducing Rain’s participation in the festival will show at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 20.

Rain – Japan Concert tickets bid at S$3 in Internet Auction (translated version)

Source : ZaoBao (Singapore), 26-08-2005

Korean Heavenly King - Rain’s concert tickets in Japan were reportedly not selling well. His Budokan concert tickets were put up in the internet for auction with starting bid price of JPY1 (equivalent S$0.015), this was initially thought to be able to attract huge amount of bidders in the internet but till 2 days ago, the bidding price has only rose to JPY11 (equivalent S$0.167).

Due to his performance in Japan last month was being very well-received by his fans, and with this good opportunity, he has decided to stage a solo concert next month at Budokan that could accommodate 20,000 audience.
On 13th August, the organizer has made announcement to the public the commencement of the sale of tickets, however, “e-Plus” internet sale unit has only a few days ago announced to restart the sale of tickets, so at this moment there are a handful of tickets unsold, this also caused questioning if the ticket sales status is true. Accordingly, the reasons of such illegal sale is the result of internet purchases by fans who did not make payment, so the sale transaction was void.
Besides having large quantity of tickets on sale in the internet, Japan Yahoo’s auction website has also offered more than 400 tickets for sale, but the response was mild. Many ticket sellers offered their original priced tickets JPY7500 (equivalent S$113) in the internet auction website at low bid price of JPY1 which till to-date had just 2 bidders and the price only rose to JPY11.

The media reports that although Rain is the main led of the popular serial drama “Full House” but he has spent very little time in Japan when he went there for promotion. He did not even attend the famous Japan Entertainment TV program “Music Station”, as such, he is not easily recognised by Japanese fans. If he wants a popular status like Park Yong-Ha who recently had his concert in Budokan, he should put some efforts to woo the hearts of the Japanese female fans.

SO rain was only invited to sit there? not even a performance segment? hmm...oh well, i dunno, but i kinda feel, just feel this...HUGE boundary of the western music industry with the asian. well... jay was rite, its difficult to ever enter their boundary. and, its like such a big big deal if u jus got invited... i noe its a huge award, sorta prestigious? yea..but i not looking up to it that much... coz i m still more more asian centred. sure i m wud b glad that any of our asian artist cud be standing on their stage one day.

I can't get used to it

Today I met you by chance
That person who I had heard about was there with you
I was so surprised because there was a smile on your face
A smile that had never been there when you were with me
I guess I seemed pathetic to you, so lonely and sad
There were tears in my eyes
So you asked me why I was crying, why I was hurting so much
I tried to lie to you
But when I saw you looking at me I couldn't help myself
All the words that were in my heart spilled out

* CHORUS *
Going to bed alone, waking up alone
Eating meals alone, I can't get used to that
Liking something alone, feeling sad alone
I can't get used to that, I can't get used to it

Why can't I forget you?
Even now if I think of you tears fill my eyes
Enough time has passed for me to forget about you
So why can't I forget you even after all this time?
There was a time before we met when I lived alone
I say to myself that I'll try to go back to that time
But then all I see is the empty space that you have left

* Repeat

Rain confirmed his trip to HK on 4 Sept 2005

Just tuned in to Commercial Radio 881903, the DJ announced that Rain will be visiting Hong Kong on 4th September (Sunday). He will be scheduled to arrive Hong Kong at about 1pm from Tokyo. At 3pm, he will be attending an event at TsimShaTsui. This event should be the opening ceremony of DHC's new store at Harbour City at TsimShaTsui as reported in the Hong Kong's newspaper recently.

i dont think this next piece of news has been posted yet. :? im sorry if its been posted already, its kind of old, dated back to May of year 2004. well i thought it was interesting so i decided to share it with u guys :D

[05.20] Bi - Silhouette Nude

Bi has taken off his clothes!
On May 15th, Bi attended a joint concert with Japanese pop star Amuro Namie at the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium, where Bi surprised the audience by changing behind a silhouette on stage. At one point, Bi stood with only wearing boxer shorts behind the silhouette, with obvious reaction by his screaming fans. :brows: :whistle: It is said Bi almost slipped while changing out of his pants because he was so nervous. He then put on two boxing gloves and a white sleeveless top to come out and sing his hit song "Anyungeran Maldaeshin" from his first album. Afterwards, Bi attended a three hour fanmeeting with his Japanese fans, singing several of his hit songs and cutting a cake in celebration.
Several celebrities who attended included Lee Ki Chan, Ham So Won, Han Ga In, and Kim Mi Sook among others. Although Amuro Namie and Bi used separate stages during their joint concert, they joined to exchange greetings. Amuro Namie also received an honorable award for her efforts and accomplishments in spreading and bringing together Korean-Japanese culture through music.

4 days 3 nights of fan chase battle; Rain coming to HK this sunday - HK Apple Daily 30.08.2005

Korean super idol Rain recently signed a new endorsement contract worth HKD$4 million, replacing Jay as the new endorser for a japanese cosmetics brand. And Rain will be coming to HK on 4th September (this coming sunday), and he will be staying for 4 days 3 nights so as to film a cf for that brandname.

Rain will be coming to HK this coming sunday. Other than attending a promotion event for that brandname at Tsimshatsui on that day, Rain will also be staying in HK for up to 4 days 3 nights so as to film a new cf for the brandname.

Tentatively, Rain is scheduled to reach HK at slightly past 1pm (HK time) on sunday. After some resting, at 3pm, he will attend the promotion event at New Harbour Centre. Taking into consideration that chaos erupted whenever Rain went during his last visit to HK, the organisers have employed at least 50 temporary security guards to accompany and protect Rain throughout the entire event.

In the new cf to be filmed, Rain will appear in a young, healthy image. The organisers originally wanted to prepare clothes for him for the shoot, but as understood, he will be preparing and bringing his own clothes from Korea. In the cf, Rain will be having a love relationship with an innocent-looking japanese actress. However, to avoid diminishing the dream lover image of Rain in his fans' hearts, Rain will most probably not have any intimate scenes with his female partner.

To avoid being interviewed and secretly filmed by the paparazzi, the organisers will arrange for Rain to do the filming in a enclosed area.

In his previous visit to HK, Rain got a decoy to play bluff. However, for this upcoming visit, it is believed that he will most probably not have any time to go out and play as the organisers have planned a very tight schedule for him.

Regarding his ticket sales in Japan, why do they kept on focusing on the yahoo auction?

Rain to be at MTV Video Music Awards in Miami Posted August 27, 2005 by kpopmusic

This news item is such short notice (the hurricane in Miami has thrown a lot of schedules into choas) but just so you all know, Rain, along with Park Jin-Young and Park June-Hyung (of GOD), have confirmed they will all be arriving together in Miami today 8/27 @ 4:20pm (American Airlines 280 LA->Miami) for the 2005 MTV VMAs. So you fans in Florida can go and meet and greet him in person at the airport. He will be in Miami until August 30th.

As you may or may not know, after completing the extremely rare and impressive MTV 'Triple Crown' (winner of Best Korean Artist at the MTV Asia Awards, Best Buzz Asia from Korea at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan, and Korean Artist Of The Year at the MTV Mandarin Music Honors), Rain has emerged as one of the top pop stars in Asia and he has been invited to attend and walk the red carpet at this year's MTV Video Music Awards in Miami. (Contrary to rumors all over the net), Rain will NOT be performing during the show or likely appear in the USA VMA telecast. With JYP, he will however be meeting with many top recording artists and record industry people in Miami and will be the subject of a special documentary that will air on MTV Korea in late September.

Wild and Woolly Rain in Drama "This Detestable Love"

거칠고 야성적인 비
Wild and Woolly Rain

'비, 거친 남자 될까.'
‘Rain, will he Be a Tough Guy?’

11월 방송되는 KBS 2TV 월화드라마 <이 죽일 놈의 사랑>(극본 이경희, 연출 김규태)에서 주인공 강복구 역을 맡은 비가 기존의 귀엽고 부드러운 이미지를 벗고 진짜 남자로 180도 변신할 예정이어서 관심을 모으고 있다.
There is an attention coming on because he might escape from the existing cute and mild image and take a 180 turn for a real man in the role of Gang Bokgu the hero in the KBS 2TV drama (dramatist: Lee Gyeonghui, producer: Gim Gyutae) that is to be broadcast in November.

<상두야 학교 가자>에서 귀여운 반항아와 <풀하우스>에서 귀여운 '왕자'로 출연한 비가 이번엔 증오에 불타 여자를 거칠게 다루는 것.
He appeared as a cute rebellious boy in and as a cute ‘prince’ in , while this time Rain is to treat women in tough manner out of burning hatred.

핸섬한 외모, 탄탄한 구릿빛 근육, 살인미소를 갖췄지만 고아원 출신에 K-1 격투기 선수, 사설 경호원이 직업인 터프한 남자가 된다.
As an orphan with handsome looks, sturdy muscles and killing smiles, he grows to be a tough guy of K-1 fighter and private bodyguard.

복구는 드라마가 전개될수록 복수심에 불탄다. 형이 사랑하던 여자 때문에 상처받고 옥상에서 떨어져 식물인간이 된 것.
The deeper the drama develops, the stronger Bokgu’s spite burns. It was because of the woman whom his older brother loved that the emotionally-wounded brother fell off from the rooftop and became a human vegetable.

이 여자는 탤런트 겸 영화배우 차은석(신민아)이다. 차은석이 일부러 형을 버린 것이 아니었지만 복구는 오해를 바탕으로 차은석에 대한 증오심을 키워간다.
The woman is Cha Eunseok(Shin Mina) who is a TV talent and movie actor. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eunsoek grows more and more burning.

복구는 차은석의 사설 경호원이 됨으로써 구체적으로 복수를 실행해 나간다. '형의 여자를 무릎 꿇게 하겠다'는 일념뿐이다. 차은석을 파멸시켜 가지만 마음속으론 점점 그녀를 사랑하게 된다.
By becoming Cha Eunseok’s private bodyguard, Bokgu keeps concretely practicing his revenge upon her. He only desires ‘to bring his brother’s woman to her knees.’ He is gradually taking Cha Eunseok to destruction, while he feels his love toward her growing deeper and deeper in his heart.

또한 복구는 여자에게 별 관심이 없는 냉철한 캐릭터다. 격투기는 그를 짝사랑한 한 노처녀의 죽음으로 충격을 받고 선택한 일종의 도피처일 뿐이다.
Bokgu is a cold guy character without any special concern for woman. Martial art of hand-to-hand fighting was just kind of his escape he chose from the shock of a spinster’s death whom he loved from a distance.

연출을 맡은 김규태 PD는 "비는 귀엽거나 호감 있는 남자가 아니라 굉장히 여자를 무시하고 깔보는 남자다. 카리스마 넘치는 거친 남자라는 느낌으로 갈 것이다.
Gim Gyudae, the PD who bears the production, said, “Rain in the cast is not either cute or adorable guy, but a man who disregards or looks down upon women. He is to give you the impression of a wild and woolly guy with full of charisma.

드라마의 후반부는 완전히 비극적 멜로 톤으로 흘러가게 된다"고 밝혔다.
The latter part of the drama is supposed to run toward a completely tragic tone of melodrama.”

Rain’s visit to Hong Kong
Source : Oriental Daily News, 5 September 2005

Korean young Heavenly King Rain arrived Hong Kong yesterday bringing along rain, he was there as the new ambassador of skin product brand DHC, to attend an opening ceremony at the new store. Rain’s visit to Hong Kong this time was given a “king” treatment with special protection from the police; thousands of his Fans crowded and jammed Canton Road at TsimShaTsui; in order to make this event a grand one, the organizer hired a Maserati car to drive him to the event place with body guards, a true Mega-Star treatment.

Rain arrived Hong Kong from Japan at noon yesterday, shortly after he changed into a suit top with jeans to attend the opening ceremony at the new store, there were strict and tight security at the event place with 40 body guards and over 20 policemen to maintain law and order. When Rain arrived, he waved with a gentle smile to his Fans, saying in Cantonese “How are you”. He and the Store Manager presented and witnessed the lion dance for the opening ceremony, he was impressed with the lion dance. After the ceremony, the organizer presented a bouquet of pink roses to Rain, a “Learn to speak Cantonese” CD and a Lifetime Membership. Rain in turn said thrice “thank you” in Cantonese.

With regards to this time “snatching the rice-bowl” of Jay Chow being the new ambassador of DHC, Rain commented that he has not met Jay in person, only knew that he’s an outstanding singer. Rain revealed that he is now learning Cantonese, English, Japanese and Mandarin, planning to sing in Cantonese. He hopes to able to sing in Cantonese to his Fans in his October concert, he has invited his teacher as guest. As when asked about his idol Cecilia Chung as guest?, he avoided the question smiling said “Jay Chow, Andy Lau, whom he wanted to invited whoever is popular.” (Is there a chance to co-star with Jackie Chan?) he said he doesn’t know about this but Jackie is a reknown actor, if there’s a chance he would like to try. There is news that Rain will visit Hong Kong Disneyland, but his Hong Kong Manager Ms Chen Ka Ying denied, Rain will stay in Hong Kong for 1 week but try to squeeze some spare time to visit Disneyland, he loves “Mickey Mouse”.

In fact, Rain’s visit this time was given special treatment from the police, when he touched down Hong Kong airport, he used the special tunnel to the car park and the police has even closed a bus lane so Rain can board the car conveniently. Although this arrangement has disappointed his Fans who were waiting to receive him at the airport, but they have hired cars to chase after Rain in order to see their Idol. As for his hotel which has pre-arranged to let Rain use the special tunnel to enter the hotel, the police has also blocked the zebra-crossing area, forbiding pedestrians to cross. At 4:30pm, Rain left the hotel heading for the event place, halfway near Jordan street, he switched car to board the Marserati car; and the police has specially allowed him to alight at the bus lane which is in front of the store entrance – what a grand treatment for Rain.

비, 日 '보수의 장' 부도칸을 흔들다! 1만관중 대성황
Rain Shook Budokan Japan’s ‘Conservative Spot’! Crowded with 10,000 Audience

'아시아의 스타' 비(23)가 '레이니 데이-재팬' 공연의 앵콜격인 'Rainy Day-스페셜'에서 1만여 관중을 춤과 노래로 단번에 매료시켰다.
“Asian star” Rain(23) fascinated 10,000-something audience with dancing and singing at a swoop in the ‘Rainy Day - Special’ that is an encore of ‘Rainy Day - Japan’ performance.

2일 오후 7시 일본 도쿄 부도칸에서 비의 콘서트가 열렸다.
7 o’clock on 2nd of September, Rain’s concert was held at Budokan Tokyo Japan.

'일본의 카네기홀'로 비유되는 부도칸은 일본 보수와 혁신세력의 상징적인 행사장으로 특히 비틀즈나 밥 딜런, 듀란듀란 등의 세계적인 거물급 스타들이 공연을 펼쳐 '콘서트의 명예의 전당'으로 인식돼와 이번 공연은 그만큼 비의 세계적 비중을 인정하는 것.
Budokan, which is likened to ‘Japan’s Carnegie Hall,’ is a symbolic festival site of conservatism and progressivism in Japan, in which such world celebrities as Beetles, Bob Dylan, Duran Duran, etc. did their performances. So it has been acknowledged as a ‘Hall of Fame in concert’ and this performance implies how much international share Rain has.

이번 공연의 오프닝 무대를 장식한 임정희는 '뮤직 이즈 마이 라이프'(music is my life)와 앨리샤 키스의 '이프 아이 에인트 갓 유'(if i ain't got you) 등을 불러 공연에 흥을 북돋웠다. 임정희는 일본어로 관객들에게 "임정희입니다.
On the opening stage, Lim Jeonghui stirred up the fun through the songs ‘Music Is My Life,’ ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ of Alicia Keys, etc. In Japanese, Lim Jeonghui said to the audience, “Hello, I am Lim Jeonghui.

JYP의 한 식구로 무대에 서서 기쁘다"고 밝히며 자신을 '뮤직 이즈 마이 라이프'라는 곡을 부른 가수임을 부각시켰다.
As a member of JYP, I am happy to be here on the stage with you.” And she highlighted the fact that she is the person who sang the song ‘Music Is My Life.’

공연장이 암전이 된 뒤 비가 갑자기 하늘로 솟구쳐 등장하자 팬들은 일제히 환호성을 지르며 비를 응원했다.
After blackout of the performance hall, all of a sudden Rain appeared soaring up into the air. And the fans acclaimed Rain, shouting in unison.

노래를 부르는 표정만으로 반응을 보인 팬들은 비가 웃을 때 함께 웃고, 멋진 춤을 보여줄 때는 환호하는 등 주인공 비와 일체된 마음으로 공연에 빠져들었다.
Responding to just the facial expression during Rain’s singing songs, the fans smiled when Rain smiled; they cheered when Rain danced fantastically. In so doing, they were so engrossed into the performance in the same spirit as the hero Rain’s.

'나쁜 남자'로 운을 뗀 비는 "일어는 어렵다"면서도 "관심을 가져준 팬들에게 감사한다"고 소감을 밝혔다.
Beginning with ‘Bad Guy,’ Rain said his thoughts, “Learning Japanese is not easy. I appreciate those fans who are interested in me.”

공연 레퍼토리마다 차별화된 안무로 관중들의 눈길을 떼지 못하게 만든 비는 '악수'를 부를 때 입고 있는 상의를 찢어 단단한 몸매에서 우러나오는 그만의 섹시함과 카리스마를 과시했다.
At each item of the performance’s repertoire, he applied such differentiated choreography that the audience was so fascinated. By tearing up his upper clothes while he sang ‘Handshake,’ Rain displayed the sexiness and charisma of his own running out of his solid well-proportioned physique.

비는 대형 LED를 중앙에 설치하는가 하면 좌우에는 대형 스크린을 놓아 3층에 있는 사람들까지도 자신의 모습을 가까이 볼 수 있도록 배려했다.
Rain took care to have the grand-size LED installed at the center and big screens at both sides so that he could have the 3rd-floor people see him at more close by.

또한 2층 무대에는 계단을 설치해 지난 7월 30일 도쿄 국제 포럼에서 열린 자신의 공연과 차별화를 꾀했다.
And by setting up a staircase on the 2nd-floor stage, he tried a differentiation from his concert at the Tokyo International Forum July 30.

비는 '나쁜남자'의 리믹스 버전으로 공연의 시작을 알렸다. 귀여운 포즈와 강렬하면서도 파워풀한 댄스에 매료된 관객들은 일제히 일어서 비를 성원했다.
With remix Version of ‘Bad Guy,’ Rain announced the beginning of the performance. Spellbound by the cute poses and intense powerful dances, the audience stood in a body and supported the Rain.

'난 또 니가 좋은거야'를 부를 때는 여자 댄서와 섹시한 안무 퍼포먼스를 깜짝 공개했고, 여자 댄서들도 웃옷을 벗어던지는 등 노출을 감행하며 더욱 무대를 뜨겁게 달궜다.
During the song ‘I like You Again,’ he made a surprise show of his sexy choreography with a lady dancer. The lady dancers too tried their expositions such as taking off their upper clothes so they stirred up the performance more hotly.

비는 '난', '나쁜남자', '악수', '태양을 피하는 방법', '이츠 레이닝', '안녕이란 말대신' 등 그의 히트넘버 19곡을 열창했다. 앵콜곡은 '아이두'의 리믹스 버전이었고 엔딩곡으로는 '투유'를 선사했다.
Rain sang passionately his 19 hit numbers that included ‘I Am,’ ‘Bad Guy,’ ‘Handshake,’ ‘How To Avoid The Sun,’ ‘It’s Raining,’ ‘Instead Of Saying Goodbye,’ etc. An encore song was the remix version of ‘I Do’; an ending song was ‘To You.’

또한, 비는 영화 '러브 액츄얼리'의 사랑 고백 장면을 패러디하면서 관객들에게 도화지의 글을 읽게 하는 '이벤트'도 벌였다.
He also held an event in which some audience read writings on the paper, while making a parody of the love-confessing scene in the movie ‘Love Actually.’

이 자리에서 비는 "공연에 관심을 가져 주셔서 감사합니다. 여러분을 마음 속 깊이 사랑합니다. 모든 게 다 팬들의 덕분입니다. 나도 여러분도 모두 하나입니다"라고 말해 팬들을 가슴 뭉클하게 했다.
Here Rain touched his fans by saying, “I am very grateful for your being concerned with my concert. I love you deep in the heart. Everything I am is all thanks to you fans. Both you and me is one.” :love:

Rain defects Jay Chow
Source : The Oriental Daily News, 7-09-2005

Asian popular star Jay Chow is badly being affected by the new favourite Rain who had recently successfully replaced Jay to shoot commercial for DHC brand skin product. The latest news received is that another Jay’s commercial advertisement for One2Free which he has represented for the past 2 years, will soon be replaced by Rain.
Korean super idol Rain who visited Hong Kong, had been showered with much support, did not show signs of slowing down, putting efforts to shoot the commercial advertisement. Source has revealed that One2Free has recently contacted Rain to invite him to be their new ambassador, replacing Jay and the possibility is high. Accordingly, Jay who heard about Rain taking place of him for the 2nd time, was very anxious and work hard to negotiate with One2Free hoping to keep his present status.

Asking Price of HK$4 million
According to source, Rain’s asking price is not steep, which is the same price as DHC at HK$4 million and again HK$1 million more than Jay’s. Though Rain has become the hot favourite of Hong Kong Commercial businessmen, he did not ask for high price due to the high demand. The reason for this is because he thinks greatly of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan being the 3 [Golden Egg], hope to penetrate the Asian market through these commercials.
At 9:30am yesterday, Rain with 8 body guards travelled to a village near the seaside at Sai Kung, where the shooting venue is a 3-storey white house, DHC has hired an attractive Eurasian model Nikki Chow to be his female lead in the shooting. The shooting location was well prepared to shield from the reporters, it was surrounded and guarded by several 6ft tall security men to block reporters’ camera. In the house, all glass-panel windows were covered with white clothes. Rain’s van arrived and drove straight into the house, the reporters could only see Rain’s back view, he was wearing a cream cap, white t-shirt with long pants.

Not picky on food
Shortly after his arrival, the staff delivered cartons of food including orange juice, grape juice, honey, mandarin orange juice and mineral water, also includes Rain’s favourite – Korean kimchi and milk. According, Rain is not picky when it comes to food, as long as there are soup, rice, kimchi and milk for his meals.

thanks for the news eiko! :hugz: omg, such high praises from a representative of Universal Records and him appearing in TIME Magazine will be great :excited: can't wait to see that magainze. Bi is reigning high and far :love:
i didn't know he has to work out so hard just to prepare himself for a concert :cry: the saying, "no pain, no gain" applies here i guess =/
i wonder who's Wi Wonreo :?

i read that news about his drama already. this new role will be a big challenge for him. i can't wait to see how it turns out. i believe Bi can do it <3 i'm not happy about the melodramatic part though >.<

another ariticle about Bi "taking" Jay's endorsements -_- business is business. whoever is famous or in demand will get the most endorsements because those companies can make more money that way. *sigh* we live in a practical world. :dry:

the last article didn't mention any cities in the US. i hope he plans to come here :worry:

Adeline: OMG!!! YOU WERE THAT CLOSE TO BI?!! i saw the clip to that opening ceremony and there was A LOT of fans there ^^; maybe it's best that you're not there. i can imagine the pushing :sweat:

here's an interesting article about why Jay lost his DHC CF endorsement to Bi:

RAIN end Visit in Hong Kong & Depart for Korea at night
Source : The Sun, 08-09-2005

Korean popular star Rain since coming to Hong Kong last Sunday to attend press conference for DHC, had kept low profile on shooting the commercial. He finally appeared to see his Fans only yesterday morning.
Since appearing last Sunday for the press conference, for the past 2 days Rain has been resorting to all means to keep low profile on his commercial shooting. Accordingly, Rain was scheduled to leave Hong Kong to return to Korea yesterday, for this reason, he made a surprise appearance to see his supporting fans yesterday morning; there was not a site of the big-built body guards to block cameras, and he was using the main door allowing everybody to take photos of him, he even waved with his charming smile, showing sign of appreciation to his Fans.
Yesterday morning at 8:15am, Rain wore a cap with a long-sleeve top revealing his muscular body, left the hotel using the main entrance to board his car. Though it was early morning, he did not put on sunglasses, waved with his charming smile to his Fans. Fans were screaming when Rain revealed his broad back while bending over to board his car. Numerous Fans hired mini-vans to chase after him. The car arrived at the white house at Sai Kung to continue shooting the commercial. Staff used black cloth and anti-reflective board to seal the windows. Till about 12noon, they went to buy packet rice for everyone including Rain as lunch. The shooting ended at 5pm and Rain returned to the hotel. At night, he proceeded to the airport and departed for Korea.
Jay Chow lose commercial deals because of his girlfriend
According to Taiwan’s news, Jay lost DHC commercial deal to Rain because of his girlfriend, Hou. He had strongly recommended his girlfriend to DHC as their ambassador in Taiwan at HK$250,000. However, Hou acted like a big shot and DHC was not happy with her attitude, so they decided to drop her. The Record company clarified that it was due to the Taxation problem as they initially thought the deal included paying the tax but it was not and Jay needs to pay the tax, so the deal was called off.

Stephen Chow wants to meet Rain in Hong Kong

Famous Hong Kong actor Stephen Chow expressed his wish to meet singer Rain, who visited Hong Kong Sept. 4-8 to film TV commercials for a Japanese cosmetics brand. Chow even planned to rent a private jet to invite Rain to the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Disneyland, but the singer had to politely turn down the invitation due to busy filming schedules. "[I have never met Mr. Chow] but I am his fan. I would love to meet him next time I visit Hong Kong,” said Rain.

After successfully finishing his Budokan concerts in Japan on Sept. 2-3, Rain participated in a cosmetics brand promotion event held in downtown Hong Kong on Sept. 4. Police had to block traffic on nearby streets due to the crowds of people who flocked to see the singer. Rain was greeted with a chorus of cheers when he arrived in a sports car. He gave a brief interview to the host of the event onstage and after watching a traditional Hong Kong lion mask dance, participated in a dragon eye-drawing ceremony.

Immediately after the ceremony, Rain held a press conference that was attended by multitudes of journalists from various corners of Asia, including Hong Kong, China and Singapore. "I want to introduce the diverse aspects of Korean culture to the world and work with other Asian artists to promote cultural exchange," said Rain at the conference.

On Sept. 5, the singer had a photo session for the cosmetics brand, and on Sept. 6-7 filmed TV commercials. His female partner, a British-Hong Kong woman, who filmed the commercials with the singer in an affluent area located within a one-hour-drive from downtown Hong Kong, complimented Rain as "handsome-looking."

Rain's Beijing Concert Confirmed for Oct.

2005-09-09 17:31:20 CRIENGLISH.com
source = http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/349/2005/09/09/44@18300.htm

CRI Exclusive by Shen Min - South Korean star Rain will hold his first solo concert in Beijing on October 22nd at the Worker's Stadium.

Jointly held by Chinese entertainment giants, China Record Company-HK Emperor Entertainment Group(中唱英皇) and the Taiwan Jushi Music(巨室音乐) , the concert will surely catch eyes of millions of Beijing fans.

The concert tickets have not gone on public sale yet until September 15th, but fans in Beijing have already started a ticket-snatching frenzy.

Rain's Hong Kong concert was so hot at last weekend as chaos erupted everywhere he went and ticekts were sold out only several hours after it started.

Rain also announced last week that he will hold his very first tour of Asia next summer. It is expected to cover 20 cities including the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Singapore.

Full House, the drama which Rain and singer Hye Gyo co-starred in, propelled Rain to stardom in Asia this year.

retrobaby

09-10-2005, 08:16 AM

grace no, the concert will be in the Convention Centre which kinda sucks. because the sound is really bad in there and the stage is like....at one end of a long room. so if you're seat isn't near the stage, it will be very far. i will pretty much prefer the Colloseum because the stage is four sided (most of the time) and the seats are sloped so if you're sitting quite far away, you still can see. oh well. it seems like expensive singers tend to perform in the Convention centre (people like those oldies superstars that moms and dads watch).

gracecherry

09-10-2005, 04:52 PM

비-신민아, 6시간 걸친 '격렬한' 첫 대본연습
Rain - Shin Mina’s First ‘Intense’ Practice of Script for 6 Hours

비와 신민아 등 KBS2 '이 죽일 놈의 사랑'(가제, 극본 이경희•연출 김규태)의 출연진들이 장장 여섯시간에 걸쳐 첫 대본연습을 가졌다.
The persons to perform in the KBS-2 Drama ‘This Detestable Love’(Provisional Title, scriptwriter: Lee Kyeonghui, Producer: Gim Gyutae) such as Rain and Shin Mina had their first script-practicing time for long 6 hours.

이날 대본 연습은 김 PD와 이 작가가 캐릭터에 대한 설명과 함께, 각각의 대사 톤을 일일이 대화로 잡아주며 화기애애한 분위기에서 이루어졌다.
Together with Gim PD and scriptwriter Lee's explaining the characters and correcting each performer’s speech tone through talking, this day’s script practice was carried in a happy and harmonious atmosphere.

젊은 연기자들이 모인 만큼 금세 서로에게 익숙해져 종종 웃음소리가 터져 나오기도 했다. As young performers gathered, they soon got so accustomed to each other they would break into laughter at times.

일본 부도칸 공연을 마치고 이틀전 귀국, 이날 대본연습에 참가한 비는 다소 피곤한 모습이었지만 격한 감정을 표현하기 위해 고함을 지르는 열성적인 모습을 보였다.
Arriving at home 2 days ago after Budokan performance and participating in this day’s script practice, Rain looked a little tired. But he showed an enthusiasm shouting out to express a passionate emotion.

옛 여자친구와 싸우는 대목에서는 목청을 높여 "닥쳐, 닥치란 말 안들리냔 말야"의 대사를 소화했다.
At the passage of quarreling with his girlfriend, he raised his voice and assimilated the speech, “Shut up, oh please shut up. Don’t you hear me saying?”

비의 옆자리에 앉은 이 작가는 "비의 고함소리에 깜짝 깜짝 놀랐다"면서도 "연기자들의 열정이 커 만족스럽다"고 밝혔다.
“I was startled by Rain’s yelling,” said the scriptwriter Lee beside Rain, “But I am satisfied with the performers’ great zeal.”

이어 "연기자들이 외모도 뛰어나지만 다들 순수하고 착하다"며 "키로 시청률 경쟁을 한다면 우리 연기자들의 평균 키만으로도 1위를 할 것"이라며 농담을 섞어 흡족함을 표시했다.
And she expressed complacence in a mix of joke, “The performers are great in appearances, but they are all pure and kind-hearted. By the way, if they compete with others in stature, our performers’ average height alone will win the first place.”

이날 대본연습은 간단히 햄버거로 끼니를 때우며 별다른 휴식시간 없이 여섯 시간을 꼬박 채우고 끝났다.
In this day’s script practice, they had a mealtime with hamburgers and practiced throughout the 6 hours without any special rest.

피곤을 호소한 비와 김사랑을 제외한 다른 출연진들과 김 PD, 이 작가는 인근 삼겹살집에서 늦은 저녁을 먹으며 단합을 약속했다.
The other performers and PD Gim and scriptwriter Lee, except Rain who expressed his fatigue and Gim Sarang, went to a nearby bacon restaurant and had a late supper promising their unity.

한편 이들은 다음날인 10일 다른 연기자들이 가세한 가운데 총연습을 가진 후, 오는 15일 첫 촬영에 돌입할 계획이다.
Meanwhile, after the rehearsal with the other performing members’ joining on 10th of the next day, they will take to the first shooting on coming September 15th. :excited:

Time[Asia] A Korean Force of Nature

Fall Preview: Music
A Korean Force of Nature
BY DONALD MACINTYRE

Monday, Sep. 12, 2005
In just three years, Korean pop star Rain has built a huge domestic following of (mostly) female fans with a string of chart-topping singles, and now he's ready to branch out overseas. Rain picked up MTV Asia prizes this year, played his first solo concert in Japan in July and has lined up sold-out gigs in Hong Kong and Tokyo. But the engine of Korean pop-culture dominance in Asia is the soap opera, which is why Rain is forecast for TV this fall. The decidedly boyish singer will play a macho K-1 fighter who falls for his brother's lover in a series tentatively titled A Love to Kill. Though the show is set to air first in Korea this October, the astounding popularity of Korean TV dramas around the region means that the pop star could soon become a familiar face throughout Asia.

But why stop there? Rain's managers believe he could be the first Korean star to break into the U.S. market. Park Jin Young, the pop impresario who discovered and trained Rain, is a talented dancer and songwriter who has worked with U.S. artists like Mase and Will Smith. Since setting up camp in Los Angeles last year, Park has been shopping his prot??around to U.S. production companies. Rain almost managed to score a track on rapper Lil' Kim's latest album-but the plan fell apart after Kim was convicted of perjury and had to start serving a jail term, according to Jimmy Jeong, an executive at Rain's management company. Just a minor setback, says Jeong: "We're targeting the global market. Rain's too big for Asia."

The Chinese Pop King of All He Surveys
Jay Chou deserves a promotion. Chinese-language media refers to the Taiwan-born star as "small heavenly King," in deference to Hong Kong's "big heavenly Kings," four Canto-pop idols who have long dominated the industry. But Chou, who has given hip-hop a Chinese accent, may finally be ready to ascend into their realm of superstardom. Each of his first five albums has gone triple platinum, he blitzed the box office with his summer film debut Initial D and unlike most idols, he can actually write his own music. Chou will be mixing beats and ballads again in his sixth album, which comes out in November. All hail the king.

Rain's whirlwind hits Beijing

Source : Singpao Daily 12.09.2005
Credit to : Kevral@RainSingapore

Korean little heavenly king, Rain, caused a wild frenzy in HK! The tickets to his HK concerts on 8th & 9th Oct were sold out within an hour, and following the completion of the hk concerts, he'll be holding a concert in Beijing. With each step he's taking, Rain is firming his stand as an Asian little heavenly king.

Voted most popular among teens and female audience, Rain, following the completion of his japan concerts, will be holding concerts in HK and Beijing, amidst which, the tickets to the HK concerts to be held on 8th & 9th Oct were all sold out within an hour of the start of the public sale. Rain's chinese regional manager, Chen Jia Ying expressed that all the HKD580 & HKD480 tickets were snapped up within 30 minutes of the start of the public sale.

Rain has consecutively taken up the endorsement role with japanese cosmetics brand DHC, followed by HK telecommunications company One2Free, thus boosting his exposure rate in HK. Although alot of Jay Chou fans have gotten onto the Internet, accusing Rain of snatching Jay's commercial contracts, but Rain's scheduled plans for HK remains unaffected. He will do promotion for his concert between 4-8 Oct. More than 1000 fans are expected to be at the airport to welcome him.
