full report on his biography + awards + albums + series + fansites (submitted by rachelle03) --> Rain's wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_%28singer%29)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
here's an article that Bi fans (or others) shouldn't miss:
Oct 2005 Jessica (HK) Magazine
Page 3
At mid Sept, the TIME mag Asia mentioned the hot and popular Korean singer-Rain in the Music forum titled "A Korean Force of Nature".
Rain is spreading over Asia with the name "Asia Michael Jackson", caused a heavy storm in Hong Kong, and now he is preparing to step in the US market with the target of the world market.
That is anyother feeling seeing him in real person.
Page 4
"Kissing means you can do everything for your lover. I think kissing means to give my spirit as well as all things inside to my lover."
Korean trend Red Rain
Rain, who is just like a tornado in HK, give us "Jessica" a chance to interview him in his tight and busy schedule and to take this unique photos in HK media.
With slight curvy hair, single-edged eyelids and shy smile, Rain is as attractive as in the photos and VODs. What shocks me is his 184cm tall body.
Rain, whose original name is Jeong Ji-hun, is 23 year-old only, but he has entered the stage for 7 years. With a poor childhood, Ji-hun entered the music circle at the age 16. His first album "Bad Guy" finally released at 2002 after the few-year training. This album was so popular once after debuted and won nearly all the "New singer" music awards.
Next year, his second album "How to avoid from the sun" released with the theme song reorginised from "Shape of my heart" of Sting. This song analogy the ex-gf as the sun which can't be escaped.
Rain said he doesn't experience this kind of love affair, however, his deduction touches everyone. That's why this song stayed in the No.1 continously for 3 months in almost every music camp. This made Rain's fairy tale a brilliant history.
In the same year, Rain got almost every "Most Popular singer" from different music awards and 5 important "New singer" awards. Afterwards, he became the King in the Korea music circle.
Who don't love?
The God of Fortune always helps the hard-working people. Rain carry his fortune on to the TV stage.
In 2004, he met a drama which helped him to step out Korea, that is "Full House". Before this drama, he only acted in the TV drama "Sangdoo, let's go school". In this drama, he acts as a gigolo and a single-dad, that's distant from his real life.
But in "Full House", he acts back himself as a famous star Lee Young-jae, his acting is agreed by everyone. "Full House" makes "Lee Young-jae" not only popular in Korea, but also China, HK, Taiwan and the Asia. The rumor said some housewives prepared 100 dishes of "sam-kae tong" for the staff of "Full House"; and during the time "Full House" on air, many people left messages saying that they don't want to do anything else other than watching Lee Young-jae's smiling face!
Rain became much more famous and with Song hae-kyu, they became the "Perfect TV couple".
Although he is under million people's support, he has his lovely side.
Besides dancing and eyesight, what makes Rain attractive is the way he talks. Hexpressed his mind while clarifying the rumour with Song Hae-Gyo, "I don't need my gf having perfect body shape. I perfer chubby and cute girl."
And his Kissing theory "Kissing means you can do everything for your lover. I think kissing means to give my spirit as well as all things inside to my lover."
How can girls not falling in love with this kind of gentle and tough boy?
Page 5
Drank dancing steps
Rain turned from a normal secondary student to the leader of the "Han-nyu". What and how much he paid is without any doubt.
Park Ji-young is being regarded as the key of turning this normal student to a great star. He goes back to his memory 5 years ago, and said "Rain's performance attracted me, he was doing every kind of performance without showing any tired faces. This made me felt that he is not a usual person!" On the other hand, Rain indicates that Park Ji-young is a teacher he respects a lot, "without him, I am sure there will not be "Rain". It's hard to compare our dancing as they are in different styles. We both do our best in our dancing!"
Actually, although Rain learns from Park Ji-young, he stills owns his unique dancing. Rain's dancing is rhythmic and full of energy, plus the absorption of outside elements(for example the drank dancing steps). Rain said " I think I can express everything through dancing."
It's not a temporary success
At March and July 2005, Rain had went China for the promotion of his album "It's Raining" and attending the MTV award.
The order quantity of the album is 100 thousands pieces, which is the record of Korean albums released in China. In Sept 2005, Rain held 2 concerts in Budokan which got 10 thousands fans' support. And for the concerts going to hold in HK, the tickets were all sold out in a minute.
Rain's success in these 3 years is not easy to get even others work 10 or 20 years more. It always make a person get lost under the situation of being supported by thousands and millions fans. However, to Rain, he is surely not falling into the trap. He will be a long-lasting King. That's because he is not only a star of the stage, he walked through poor and hard conditions.
Rain's childhood was as sad as the sorrow Korean drama. He lived with his parents and sister in a small metal house at the back of the market while he was young.
Due to daddy's failure in business, it was his Mom to bear the duty to earn money for the family. She sold "ttoh-bo-kki" in the market and her good son Rain always help in the shop. Rain and his sister were both introvert and silent because of the heavy duty from family.
"This charater insist till this moment. People have to spend a lot of time if he/she wants to get closer to me."Rain said.
Afterwards, his Mom died from diabetes, while his Daddy went to Brazil for work.
That's the wound which can never be cured deep inside Rain's heart but also the power for him to success.
"Every time I stand on the stage, I miss my Mom. For her, I still feel sorry till this moment. I've acheived what I promised her, that's to be a famous singer. If she knows, she will be happy with this!"
The postscript:
It was a rush for the cover shotting. Fortunately, Rain was relaxed in front of the camera.
(Kit: the following part of the postscript is the outline hightlight of the drama "ÀÌ Á×ÀÏ ³ðÀÇ »ç¶û". So I am not going to translate that~~^^)
I believe for the coming years, Rain will remains the vogue which covers the whole Asia with his unique and sexy dancing!

Woohoo, we are in Part 8? now! :excited: I accidently posted in the Part 7 thread since I was reading it and then pressed reply :D .. but I've deleted it.. so here's my reply...


Rach: Oops, I meant the inside of the last page^^ I wonder if our cd booklet is the same?
And I just noticed that there's also a little sheet with the translations of the DVD!

Jessica: My package took about a week and a half. Hehe, when I was purchasing, I kind of forgot that it had different cover versions. I like the Japanese? version cover too!
Is "Eternally Yours" his slogan??
And to your reply from the picture thread, yeah I guess the brown blazer is okay. Maybe I am just not use to him wearing brown but I definitely don't like the tie. Maybe it's the pattern. And no, I haven't seen the news clip of the DHC function yet! Have you?? I am waiting for the TVB entertainment shows to show.. but I didn't noticed it yet..

Jeannie: The Chinese newspapers here has a combo of local to nation to worldwide news.. and the entertainment section is usually from HK so that's why he's on it^^


The fan who received the figurine is soo lucky! I wonder if these are purchasable in the DHC store??


I was skimming through the translations of the DVD interview and some things he mentioned: (There were 19 questions in total but there were some I didn't understsand so.. :tongue: )

- He mentioned that AI is a very cute singer, and that others can easily see how professional she is. He also said that her personality is great, and that he learned a lot from her.
- His favorite single in Eternal Rain is "Sad Tango" but he also really like "Move On".
- He thanks his fans for the delicious food.
- He said he really likes the food in Japan.
- He said he wasn't too familiar with the directions in Japan, so when he wanted to go out, it was a bit difficult to remember the directions.



Oh, and I also noticed that the Chinese translation to the "I Am So Hot" song.. it was translated as, "我 越 來 越 熱". I think it means, "I Am Getting Hotter"? Maybe Rach can help me out lol.


And, I saw read the Chinese newspaper today.. and they wrote that he appeared at the function like a prince :angel: (since he's wearing a white blazer/tie^^).. and they also said he might be in HK for the concert around January or February.

[rachelle03]

Whoa, we are in part 8! That's so fast. :D

karen: I saw the Eternally Yours words. :D Ah? You even had the translated words for the interview. Thats good.

Yup, you are right, karen, 我 越 來 越 熱 means I'm getting hotter or My body temperature is rising.

I just found the "cyborg" preview chinese translation from soompi!

电子工厂里，耳机里传来的组装步骤…
In the factory, the instructions for the assembly is told through the earpiece.

组合时请留意装入喇叭之後的方向。
将可变电容器转轴的A面朝上、并用２．６×５的螺丝栓紧。
将收音机的开关装上。
"While assembly, please remember to take note of the direction after the speaker is fixed. Tightened side A with 2.6 x 5 screws. Fixed the switch for the radio."

林秀晶: 开关……
ISJ: "Switch..."

耳机里工作步骤继续…
The instructions continued relaying...

检查结束後，把天线拉高，转动收音机上可变电容器的旋钮，就能够接收到电波的放送。
"After the check is done, pull up the antenna and turn the axis and signals will be received."

机器人啊，莫非，一点都不可悲的啊。
Cyborg ah, perhaps, they are not pitiful at all.

同情心…
Sympathy...

对我，还请不要只是因为同情心…
Please do not treat me with sympathy only...

RAIN: 同情心……
Rain: "Sympathy..."

你应该知道同情心是七恶之首吧…
You should know that Sympathy is one of the seven wickedness... (it's not really the 7 sins)

RAIN: 愿闻其详…
Rain: "Hopefully..."

书在翻页的同时，旁白继续说明…
As the book pages are flipping, the OS continued...

The other six are...

沉浸在悲伤情绪中
Indulged in sadness

动心
Moved

迷惘
Lost

多馀的幻想
Unneccessary fantasies

罪恶感
Feel of Guilty

感恩的心情
Gratefulness

以上为七恶接下来的排名顺序。
The above are the listed 7 wickedness.

RAIN: 神经病…? (韩式英文的Psycho，念法和CYBORG粉像的)
Rain: "Psycho...?" (The pronounciation of Psycho in konglish sounds alike to Cyborg)

林秀晶: 不是神经病啦，是生化机器人(CYBORG)啦
ISJ: "Not 'psycho', it's 'cyborg'..."

RAIN: 就算你真的是机器人好歹吃个东西也没关系吧，啊嗯~~~英君小姐(秀晶戏里的名字)
Rain: "Even though you are a cyborg, it will be okay even if you eat something, ah... (whines) Miss Young Jun..."

最後一段，秀晶用电池充电~~
The last part with ISJ charging herself through the battery.

林秀晶:不管怎样，现在的充电方法会有极限在吗?
ISJ: "Is there a limit to the ways to recharge now?"

Bi's Eternal Rain ranked #1 in Taiwan's J-pop Chart! this was posted at Joyplace -->

direct link (http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6093/fd713bc72bfe72dcd00060e6fg7.png)
when i asked my mom to translate what it said next to his name, i didn't understand her. i thought that it was a song that ranked #1. it took me a while to figure out that it's the name of the album in Chinese :oops: :shy: look at the number! 25.35%!!!

karen: omo! so many translations in the HK version?! i wish i can read Chinese ><; the Japanese and HK version have the same covers for the normal and album + DVD edition ^^ Eternally Yours might be the slogan for this album, keke :love: i'm not sure if anyone uploaded the news clip on the DHC event to youtube yet, but you can DL it if you're curious --> 060928 HK i-cableTV_DHC press con + interview (89.9MB || 3:46) (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/6xa2a) [clubbox]. this is the smallest file i came across ^^; he spoke in Cantonese again, but it was just a short greeting. do you get the latest TVB entertainment news from cable? :excited: i've just watched an old news clip interview of Adam Cheung and he said that he wants to impersonate him! :laughing:

rach: thanks for the translation!! :hugz: i thought i heard Ji Hunnie said "psycho" :D the story sound sci-fi and complicated in this preview :sweat:

[panda_shine]

Thanks for the translations, Rach!
Yeah, the storyline to Cyborg does sound very odd and complicated! :wacko:

Jessica: Thanks for the DHC event clip! I haven't seen it yet^^ Yup, I get the TVB entertainment shows from the local Chinese channel too but it's usually about a week delayed..:oops: so sometimes, I just download through BT instead :tongue: I posted the TVB version of the DHC clip.. very similar except the interview is different^^
It's so nice to see him in the clip/interview.. since he's been so busy! He mentioned he only sleeps for 1-2 hours.. Aigoo~ :worry:
oo.. I think I have a faint memory of that clip of Adam Cheng saying that ..:D

[sweep]

gosh, I feel like an idiot. I didn't know that this was a new thread already. I kept on searching the previous pages and I couldn't find it. I was like, "what the heck is going on here?" I thought the computer was going "loko". hehe

thanks rache and karen for the translations.

Karen, I agree with you the translations seem complicated. Somehow, my impression of this movie is that it has lot of conversation in it. Maybe like the movie "Before Sunrise" starring Ethan Hawke. *shrug*

The songs that Rain likes in his album are also the songs that I like. hehe Move on and Sad tango.

[jessica]

karen: i think i've DLed most of the news clip on this DHC event ^^ i wonder if he had any NGs speaking Cantonese this time :D he's back to lacking sleep because he's preparing for his new album, showcase, and concert :depresse:

sandy: you don't like the rest of the songs from Eternal Rain? =(

some news and fan accounts..i hope he doesn't consider singing in Cantonese :sweat:

[Fan account] At JYPE - 9/29/06
By: yunrain
From: benamoo/biwithrain/rainhk
Translation: Chinese to English: spymm@soompi

Its been some time..., I'm "Hyang Bi"....
I heard Rain arrived back in Korea at 5am this morning.
I have friends from Taiwan who are Rain's fans who waited at the airport till 5 am when they finally see him, then they returned to their hotel.

He looked very tired...
Upon receiving news of his return to Korea, I went straight down to JYP after school. I reached there before 1pm.

Once again, I met the Taiwan fans whom I have not seen since their last visit a month ago. We chatted happily together.

After a while, we saw the company car arriving. Its been a few weeks since we saw the car?
I couldn't control my excitement and ran over...but only his assistant alighted...

I had no choice but to return to my friends and continue to wait...

But just a while later, Rain arrived in his car...he dawdled in his car for a while before alighting...

He had remained in his car for 5 mins before alighting, I greeted him lightly, and he answered, "Hi".
Then entered JYP...he wore an oversized yellow hooded sweatshirt, jeans and a cap. He has pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his cap.

About 20 mins later, he emerged again...
He was about to enter his car...then he approached us and said in a loud voice "Hi! See you!".

After that loud greeting, he left in his car.
He returned about an hour later, and told us that he just went to the hospital...

He said he went for an injection, and acted as if the injection was very painful ^^
Then he laughed and entered JYP...

We had been worrying if he was feeling very unwell, but he gave us a happy smile, and we were grateful for that...
However, after a while, he emerged again..
Did he did it intentionally to let us have a few more glances of him?
He kept coming in and out....

He was about to leave for lunch...
On the way back from lunch, Rain agreed to give us his autograph...

I was standing on the other side of the street, opposite of Rain who was standing right in front of JYP.
The Taiwan fans has already crossed the street,
the traffic was heavy, I was unable to cross...

Because I was holding the pen,
they had no choice but to wait for me...
Maybe because of his tight schedule, Rain called out to me, "Hurry..."
and waved to me to cross over...
At that moment, a motorcycle passed by,
and he immediately waved to me not to cross over...
When the traffic cleared, I ran over...
Finally got his autograph.

Along came 2 other fans who also obtained his autograph...

Rain left again in his car, this time with his dancers, but we do not know where they are going to
but they returned 5 mins later...

At about 5.45pm, he emerged, dressed in a formal suit.

He was about to attend the Ralph Lauren event.

He returned about 2 hours later, and entered JYP again...
Heard that there are a number of interviews waiting for him...

PS : When the kid said that the injection was painful, he was patting his backside, we did not know whether to cry or laugh. He is so kiddish at times. Some other Korean fans saw Bi leaving JYP for home after 10.30pm. He was panting and drenched in sweat...

---------
P.S. : sorry for the poor translation...

[gracecherry]

O M G! i just LOVEE reading fan accounts, and now i cant decide which one best describes his kiddish-ness. the part where he voluntarily tell fans on his injection^^

jess onni >i just cant wait for cyborg to be out and his korean album. i have no time to catch up much on clippies~ sad** but regarding the question u asked me. that term... means "was".... does that fit the meaning of the clip? coz u said ji hunnie said that at the end of the clip. ^^ is there a link to DL that clip? let me noe,if its not too big i wud make a point to DL one day,together with the cyborg trailer, i wud see from sexybi.hehe

karen >bout the dhc clip, the news in my local tv actualy reported that under the entertaintment section! its realy rare....they hardly include any entertaintment section. it showed bi waving and smiling his typical trademark smile ,wahahaah. aigoo,ive got another korean dictation tmrw. and ahhh, i was wondering if u hav watch the devil wears prada? i m soooo HYPEd with it,coz...those clothes,shoes, bags!!! ~~~~~~

[jessica]

grace: his fans who visit him are so lucky sometimes. i don't know how i'll react if i see him acting like a big kid :D hmm..so what he said at the end of the interview was, "was Bi/Bi was"?? O.o the photoshoot and interview clip isn't very big...around 16 - 17 MB. i renamed the file to "06.09.27_MBC Section TV_World Tour Photoshoot + Interview" but it shouldn't be hard to find at sexybi ^^

[rachelle03]

It's so quiet in here. what happened? :?

I just got to know the 'proposed' pricings for SG Rain's Coming tour and had a lifetime shock. The cheapest is SGD$188 and the most expensive is...

SGD$888.

Now I'm hoping the management will change their mind, cause it's too horrendously high priced. With SGD$888, I can watch Jay's concert for 4 times! I know the Madonna concert tour team behind this tour and the high quality production, but $888 is really... *speechless* My mum will kill me if I really go for the most expensive tickets.

So SG-ians, fellow malaysians and thais, do save your money now.

[Jes123]

Oh yes, me too. Heard the price of his Singapore concert is $888 for most expensive :shock:

Me definitely not going for the cheapest $188 to sit rite at the top!!!!

Heard that the news about the concert is in today chinese newspapers!!!
Go read it!

I am going to Faint!!!

Wanted to share some news :wave: ,

{The Korea Times} Rain’s World Premier Tour Begins in Seoul


By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter

Rain, known as Pi in Korean, is undoubtedly one of the biggest K-pop stars nowadays. It’s no wonder that around 40,000 fans, with almost a fourth from other countries, are expected to attend the premiere of his world concert tour at Jamsil Stadium, Seoul on Friday.

Fans from Japan, China, United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines are expected to show their support for Rain.
The free concert coincides with the release of Rain’s fourth album on Friday. Rain gained popularity also as an actor throughout Asia in the hit drama "Full House."
Rica Valera, a caterer from Manila, Philippines, is traveling to Seoul with a bunch of friends to watch the concert. She and her friends arranged their Korean vacation to coincide with Rain’s concert.

"I have seen Rain perform live in Hong Kong for his showcase and in Bangkok for the last leg of his Rainy Day Tour and he exceeded all expectations. I'm just hoping to see him enjoy his performance. I don’t want to be stressed and pressured by placing high expectations on Rain," Valera told The Korea Times.
Gina Wong, an accounts executive from Singapore, said she is looking forward to a great performance by Rain. "I’m not sure what to expect, but I know Rain will be great," she said.

The Oct. 13 concert is seen as a preview for Rain’s upcoming world tour "Rain’s Coming," which will officially kick off in Seoul on Dec. 15 (www.rainworldtour.com). He is expected to perform songs from his latest album.

For his concert, Rain has tapped prominent concert production people such as stage director Jaime King, who has choreographed dance moves for Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera; lighting specialist Roy Bennett; and visual director Dago Gonzalez.

StarM, the entertainment agency organizing the concert, has even coordinated with travel agencies from different countries to make it easier for fans to come to Korea and watch the show.

The price of the Rain concert package tours varies. For instance in Hong Kong, a travel agency is offering a special Rain concert package which includes airfare, hotel accommodations, VIP tickets to the concert and a tour of the "Full House’" set, for HK$4,599 or roughly 560,000 won.

In Japan, there is a special dinner and concert package for 148,000 yen or roughly 1.19 million won, and a concert-only package which starts a 84,000 yen or 675,000 won.

The show will start at 7 p.m., with opening acts Paran, Popin Hyungjoon, NOW and Lim Jeong-hee.

Next year, Rain is expected to take his concert tour to 35 cities in 12 countries, namely the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Rain is also quite busy these days, after finishing his first movie "Cyborg Girl’" directed by Park Chan-wook. He is also preparing an English album to be released in the U.S. next year.

Last February, he held two sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He was also named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World this year.

{KBS Global News} Rain, Won Bin, Kang Dong-won Join Hands
Oct 11, 2006


ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
Rain, Won Bin, Kang Dong-won Join Hands

Hallyu stars Rain, Won Bin, Kang Don-won, Suae and Han Chae-young will set up a joint sales office at the 11th Pusan International Film Festival.

Star-J Entertainment said October 11 that four talent management agencies that manage big hallyu stars, including JYP Entertainment, Dream East On and The Man, will set up a joint sales office at the festival.

The Asian Film Market, which will debut this year, will create opportunities to share information about popular actors aside from just buying and selling films. Influential talent management agencies from both Korea and abroad are expected to install booths at the festival to promote their actors.

A person from Star-J Entertainment said that promotional activities of hallyu stars overseas that were unofficially held so far had multiple negative effects, but this event will hopefully pave the way for official and transparent business.

The sales office will be open October 15 through 18.

*giggles* gosh he’s turning into quite the entrepreneur =D

[Cardcaptor Stacey]

Hello everyone :P Missed me? lol

I kind of forgot about this place. Sorry :( Nice to see some Rain :D

[sweep]

Hello.:happy:

I agree its awfully quiet around here...:?

Jessica, the other songs from Rain's album "Eternal Rain... are okay. My fave are just sad tango and move on.

I don't see from the news that Rain will be going to NY again for a concert.:cry: It's because he went here already? *sigh*


Grace, I watched the devil wears prada. It's a good movie.:happy:

Rachelle, gosh I agree with the high priced tickets! It's just too expensive.

Recently, I've seen in the news that Rain will be coming to the Philippines. If it is true that the tickets are jacked up so high I don't know how Filipinos can afford it. Only people with lots of money but how about the masses? It might be F4 all over again (with the high priced tickets).

If it were to be true that Rain will hold a concert in the Philippines. Gosh, I wish I was there. So ironic like, I wished I was here last February. hehe

[jessica]

yay! Bi'ers are finally back :hugz:

rach: i'm so upset and disappointed with how his showcase and concert ticket prices are being handled. never in my wildest dreams would i ever imagine a concert to be THAT expensive. SG$888 is roughly US$560 x___x it makes me sad to read so many complaints from fans who can't afford it :depresse:

thanks for the news Star ^^ he's getting so hard to reach now *sigh*

sandy: maybe you'll like the other tracks more when you listen to the album a few more times? it took a while for some of his songs to grow on me :tongue:
the Las Vegas concert might be the only stop he'll be making in the US, unless they plan to schedule another one later on.

this is the tracklist for his 4th album:

[xiaohei88]

Finally i found my way back to my favorite thread.. aigoo my books are really drowning me this time..

Waaa.. I miss you all loads.. still need loads of things that i need to be updated with.. the latest was the freaking pric tickets of Rain's concert..



It's so quiet in here. what happened? :?
I just got to know the 'proposed' pricings for SG Rain's Coming tour and had a lifetime shock. The cheapest is SGD$188 and the most expensive is...
SGD$888.
Now I'm hoping the management will change their mind, cause it's too horrendously high priced. With SGD$888, I can watch Jay's concert for 4 times! I know the Madonna concert tour team behind this tour and the high quality production, but $888 is really... *speechless* My mum will kill me if I really go for the most expensive tickets.
So SG-ians, fellow malaysians and thais, do save your money now.


I really really really really want to go for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:
ommo.. it cost like a bomb!!! when i first got the newsletter from RainSingapore.com, i went crazy.. i nearly had a heart attack.. it cant be this ridiculous right??? the price i mean....cant we fans have a say in this?.. its too much for a concert.. the ticket price $S888 will really make history in singapore..

and yes before i forget.. did anyone applied for the Cloud?

Im trying to do so.. using my uncle's card but still i have to fork out my own $S88.. i really thought that tommorow would be the last day of registration but thank god its on next sunday the 22th...when i register i get back to you guys then.. in the mean time.. i get to go back to my books cause my O level.. My biggest obstacle yet is in less than a month time.. wish me all the best my dear friends.. love you lots!:wink2:

[may_510]

I'm back too :-)

It's 13th October now in SK. Bi must be really nervous now!! It's the release of his 4th album and it's the start of the concert too! :excited:

He left a message for Cloud:

To everyone in CLOUD family ^^
Rain.
2006.10.12 21:40

Hi!
I'm greeting everyone in CLOUD family...
... Jihun is here~

How are you all?
Miss you all so much.

Not sure is it because of the windy and cold weather in these recent days...
it reminds me of your warm-hearts and caring~

Well, finally I can introduce my 4th album to you all tomorrow...
I'm a bit nervous, and I'm excited~~

Most important is that,
I hope no problem occurs in tomorrow's event...
and wish you all can go back safely after the showcase.

If everyone of you understands me,
then you should be disciplined... Do take care of your own safety ^^

Because I miss you,
so I would like to tell you that
may the 4th album brings you great~~ fun!
That's why I write it here....

Yupe that's all
Let's meet each other happily tomorrow!
^^

OMG! :excited: The preview of the song got me sooooo excited in the wee hours in the morning now!!! Thankss jessica!!!
It's show time! ^^

[panda_shine]

Hi Bi-ers!!! :wave: I haven't been posting.. :shy: I've been quite busy :sweat:

Rach: Wow, those tickets are really expensive! Aiyo.. is there any middle price range?? :worry:

Hi Jes123!! :wave: I don't think I've seen you in the thread before! Welcome!

Sandy: Aww, you don't like "Props In My Life" or "Because of You" from Eternal Rain?? Because of You definitely grew on me ^^;
About the ticket prices for Philippines.. perhaps it might be expensive too.. considering that the ones for Singapore are :oops:

Jessica: Thanks for the preview!! I don't see "Up in the Club" in the 4th album? And.. is "Move On" the Japanese version? and "Oh Yeah" the one with AI??

Fizah: Hi!! I hope you can apply to Cloud successfully! Aja aja on your studies!

May: I saw the album cover(?) you posted at the picture thread. Omo!! I saw it when I was in the uni's computer lab.. and nearly had a heart attack by his hotness lol. :D I love it, and he looks so sexy.. I am just so hyped about it :excited:

While in the comp. lab, I was browsing at his Joyplace too.. and I realized he posted a message (the one that May posted above).. that really made my day!! :excited: ..even though at that moment, I had no idea what he wrote since it was in Korean but I was still really happy :angel: At the same time, I was trying to like control my smile lol.. or else people nearby would think I am weird! :shifty: Ah, I am just so excited about his 4th album and everything :bounce:

[jessica]

fizah: i read that the deadline for Cloud membership is postponed yesterday. let us know when you become official! i don't have a credit card and i doubt i'll be going to any of his promotion events or fanmeetings this term so i'm opting out =X good luck with your coming exams!!

may: welcome back!!! i finally joined rain-malaysia and started posting on your bday :tongue: did you see my msgs?
i'm feeling nervous too. i hope everything will run smoothly for the showcase *kicks StarM* i miss reading his msgs :love:

karen: Move On is the Korean remake in the 4th album, but Oh Yeah is still in Japanese ^^; yes, it's the duet with Ai. Up in the Club is Japanese. they didn't do a remake of it. i prefer his japanese songs over some of the fast songs in this album :oops: the melody sounds kind of Jpop to me @.@
hehe. i rarely browse in Bi's threads when i'm out in the public. i might not be able to control myself if i come across any hot pics like the one for the album cover :sweat:

oh, there's a remix version of Too Much from Ai's new album --> clickie (http://www.sendspace.com/file/0b7rn9)
this has softer music so it doesn't overpower Bi's voice, but i prefer the beats of the original.

the theme of the 4th album:

Theme of Rain's World

'In places that have been ravaged by war and starvation,
the falling Rain brings the sprouts of peace and love'

from joyplace/soompi

this will also be the concept for the tour :happy:

[dawnyee]

Bu don't you guys feel that it is rather weird that he wanted to have a showcase pf his new album on Friday the 13th? Am I just being too superstitious?

Anyways, i really do hope that the showcase does go on smoothly and the preview of the song was freakkin HOT!

[may_510]

Karen, LOL. My eyes went :glug: and :crazy: when I first saw the cover. Hehe, it was middle of the night (or rather, very early in the morning :tongue: ) when I saw the pic. Luckily I didn't scream or else my whole family will be awaken by me ^^

jessica, you're opting out from the Cloud membership? Sigh, me too... It's so expensive.. I need to save for his concert tickets too.. I'm getting very worried with the announcement of the prices for his SG concert :oops:
Yeahh, I saw your posts in Rain Malaysia! :excited: Thankssss dear :hugz: It was a pleasant surprise to me seeing your posts in that forum :-)

[teardrop]

hello all!!!! :wave: congrats on making it to part 8!!!! :yeah: sooo sorry, i've been mia for a while now, uni just started eek!!! so got loads of work to do even though ive only been here for three weeks!!!! aigoo!!! :cry: o btw i was just wondering if some 1 could help me, for one of my projects is to do a presentation on this vid here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6AI4_kpBrY) but the thing is i need a program that i can edit the footage so that it's moving like a rumbik Rubik's Cube (you only need to watch the beginning to know what i mean) the only program i know is final cut, but that only works on a mac i think and adobe primere doesn't have the feature so if any1 knows of a software i'd be really grateful la!

ok back to the main topic! (btw this post isn't going to be my famous loooonnnnnnggggggggggggg post bc honestly there's just soooo much backlog that i'll be here for a good few hours, also it'll be a good few pages in word!!! lol) what the heck has been happening with oppa?!?!?! jess??? hehehehe i'm soooo outta the loop, i like just found out that his 4th album is out!!! aigoo!!! will have to visit yesasia...... o i got my eternal rain cd like a month ago??? but the thing is i don't really listen to the cd as i've already dl it lol but i like the dvd wished that that they showed the whole concert tho....... :worry:

ah i see miss may is back!!!!! you've finally been able to pull away from the dbsk thread for a little while??!!? :brows: i'm really loving their new song 'o' but have no idea what it's about, the vid for that is a bit weird.... aww thx for the msg from bi aww he's so cute he sounds so nervous! ah mayb it's just anticipation, i can't wait to get my hands on the cd, ah i'm sure it'll live up/exceed his other albums i wonder if his music has matured.... hmmm..... i hope so i could defo hear the difference between his first 2 albums and it's raining album. i think it will be a little more edgy and different, he's been in the industry for a while and so i think he'll come out of his shell much more, but then again jyp is doing all the writing, but i think he'll tailor the songs to the stage that bi is at now so guess i can't wait!! lol

rachelle: thx for the translations for cyborge!!! aigooo!!! really wanna watch that it sounds sooo interesting!!! esp how they've created the wicked sins!! oooo just have to wait for the dvd :cry:

ira: hey hunny, i remember in the last thread that when you come over here in the summer you wanted to buy some cds in china town? my advice to you is to get it on yes asia, it's muuuuccchhhhh cheaper there than in china town. for example i remember that i was going to get jay's 2nd album for my sis' b'day so went to china town, they only had the 2 disc and that cost like £30 whereas when i went on yesasia it was half that price and they threw in his 'the one' concert vcd.

grace, Karen, sandy: hi hi :hugz: how are you guys?

i see that we've got a few new members! sorry for the late welcome but :welcome: to the thread zhangpei, borr, jes123 and dawnyee!! hope you guys enjoy your stay here, we're all very friendly (well i guess you all know that) but feel free to talk about anything, even if it's not related to bi we'll enjoy anything you guys write about. i know you've already answered these question but i'm going to be late for my next class and don't have time to go back through the other pages :shy::blush: but how did u come to know of bi? have you seen any of his dramas? and if so what's ur fav?

ok la i've gtg now going to be late for films studies take care all!!! mwha!!!!!

[rachelle03]

jess: You're opting out for The Cloud? Geez, I thought I'm the only bad fan here. :faintz: The local papers starts publishing about the high priced tickets and right now, the most expensive tickets belong to The Eagles, and Jacky Cheung's is 300+. Now, if Rain's price is gonna be SGD888, it'll be the highest. >.<""

Karen: The other prices are like, 288, 388, 488, 688, i think. If the price is going to remain like this, I might just bear with it and get the 288 ticket. Just the thought of 188 being in the bad seating range while 188 in Jay's concert will be right in front. It's just so unbelievably ironic.

Jes123: Ya! 188 and seating way up high is just so demoralising, isnt it? :depresse:

fizah: Indeed, it'll be a history made. They must understand that not all Rain's fans are as fanatic as Japanese fans. I mean, Jap fans are the most patriotic fans I've ever seen. USD50-100 for a pictorial book is nothing new to them.

teardrop: I'm sure they'll come up with the dvd. ^^

Well, enough of ranting of the ticket prices. Tomorrow will be the release of Rain's world! :excited: I hoped local music stores will bring in the album tomorrow!

[xanimeotakux]

*sigh* i'm back. didn't know there was a new thread. T_T

what's everyone talking about?

if anyone hasn't seen this yet, it's his 'i'm coming mv trailer' and i think that's his new hair! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTx2G50LFA8

[jessica]

like i said in the picture thread, i wasn't able to stream the showcase on SBS today. there is a news clip on the showcase and i'm uploading it now, along with the preview of I'm Coming! i didn't watch the news clip yet. i might not be able to post afterwards if i did :sweat: i did watch the preview of the MV though. i spazzed about it in my blog already. too tired to repeat it so i'm going to copy and paste :tongue: there are some spoilers so i'm going to hide it in white. DL it here (http://download.yousendit.com/1B7AC3680939CD39) (5MB)

I've also watched the preview of I'm Coming. It was HOT!!!!!!!!!!! At the beginning, he was lying on the ground...NUDE!!! Well, the image and camera angles projected it to be that way. He's not actually nude...or is he?! There was a drop of water that was running upwards his body all the way to his left eye. I almost had a heart attack with that opening! Then oori angel descended from a helicopter with wings...ahh~ He looked so beautiful. I forgot to breathe at that moment. The look on his face shows anguish and also confidence. It brought tears to my eyes just seeing the whole imagery. The theme for Rain's World is marvelous and meaningful. Can't wait to see the MV!!!

dawnyee: i don't think Friday the 13th is considered a bad day for Koreans. at least i hope not :sweat:

may: you don't like the album cover? =(The Cloud membership is somewhat pricey if you're not going to get the benefits they promised. it's the hassle of applying that turns me away. i want the club member card and other official merchandise but i don't know if it'll get to me :oops: you don't know how frantic i was when i tried to apply to Joyplace because i don't have a scanner --;
hope you enjoyed your bday! :hugz:

teardrop!! i'm a complete tech idiot >< maybe you should ask in the Help section too :happy:
Ji Hunnie's showcase ended successfully today. some fans who went were raving about how spectacular and grand it was! there was a fan who watched the stream said that she understands now why the ticket prices are so expensive ^^; i'll have to see and judge for myself. Rainy Day was totally worth the amount i paid, although it was cheaper for some fans who watched it in Asia ><; his comeback will take place on SBS and MBC over the weekend so check frequently in clubboxes ^^ i'll definitely be uploading to bummie's box when i get the files. 3 concerts are confirmed already (Seoul, Las Vegas, and SG) and the ticket prices are sky high! there are many fans who complained about it, but i doubt anything would be done. you can read some recent news on rain_usa or other Bi forums for more detailed updates :D oh, you must look at the pic for the album cover!!!

rach: i try not to feel guilty for not joining :sweat: i think it's beneficial for fans in Asia rather than the US or Europe unless we plan to go to any of his events there. when he debuts here next year and hold fanmeetings and special events, i'll regret not joining then :oops: what's the capacity of that concert stadium? have you ever been there before?

jeannie: thanks for sharing ^_^ we're only discussing about the unbelievable ticket prices for his world tour..and random fangirling i guess? :D most of us are catching up here because this thread was dead a few days ago ^^;

4th album - Rain's World album sales: he's at #1!!! :excited:

[gracecherry]

WHOOOOA~ i havent drop by here in ages! and awww, i just realize how i miss everyone here *hug hug* ive been reallllly busy with school work.

jess onni > ommmo! i thought that oct 13 was his showcase, i didnt noe it was the release of his album tooo! *pabo me* aigooo, i just dropped by his pic thread. and also JP ....ommmmo, wen i was at JP, i saw the RAIN ITS COMING banner, and i thought why? its weird to have another guy be on the poster to adverstise his own concert? it didnt cross my mind thats him?? coz the banner is pretty small u noe~ aigooo...but now i know HOW short his hair is! ahh, i like it~ but its quite shocking....though i remembered i seen it once, a fan leaked out the pic of him during a filming.:D wow.the prices are sky high,i hope it wouldnt be the case for KL! or else i maybe realllly cant make it. and...i know, it must be super grand and...amazingly good.... i havent seen any clips at all of his showcase aigooo><

Karen > hi hi...i thought his new hair cut would just be like sangdoo! but its soooooo super short, its really army style eh? ahha. i am gona look out for his album in the local stores.

Teardrop > i m a complete tech idiot too....but i missed u soo much, ehhee, i thought of texting u.but the time difference, when i text u, u wud probably be sleeping.^^

May > awww, so glad to have u back here too!!

[jessica]

grace!!! :hugz: you must watch the intro to I'm Coming! the file is only 5.5MB so DU can take it ^^
did you see the pop-up from Joyplace?! i want that picture!
oh, the picture that leaked while he was filming might be for In My Bed. the opening of that song in the showcase showed him wearing that all black outfit. i love his song! it's soothing like Nan. if you can stream YT you can watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EutY592DBN4&amp;eurl=) :drool:

[panda_shine]

I just watched the showcase clips!! *breathe in* *breathe out* :tongue:
(Thanks Jessica!! :hugz:)

I really like the performances and I am glad the quality is great too! I love the choreography for "It's Coming".. and "Cassiopeia" made me *aww*.. I don't think I've seen him singing a duet? And I love the song "In My Bed" and the 'mini movie' it showed before he appeared.. :angel:

I think the concept for his new album/tour is quite meaningful.. and also interesting because with the nuclear situation with North Korea right now. I was wondering is there a significant meaning behind the star(s)?

(Jessica/Jeannie) I also saw the "I'm Coming" preview! Thank God it's not as nude as I was thinking LOL. :sweat: But overall, I like it and I am looking forward to it too!

(Grace) And about his hair, I actually don't mind it either.. in fact, I quite like it.. except the fringe when it's wet (from the sweat) :D

Jessica: Oh oops, for some reason.. I kind of didn't realized that "Up In The Club" is in Jap! :shy: I was probably thinking it's in Korean because the BMW mini movie was in Korean.. :sweat:
For some reason, I like majority of the songs in this album.. including the fast songs.. maybe he's really growing on me these days ^^;
Btw, do you know where I can find the lyrics/translations to the songs?
I like the black outfit for "In My Bed" but I also like the other army and the white outfit too. I saw a picture with the orange suit and another one with the hat and vest. Will those clips be available for download too?? ^^

dawnyee: Hi! oo.. I didn't realized it was Friday the 13th! Maybe they don't have this in the Korean culture?

May: So you didn't like the cover?? I was more: *eyes wide* *mouth drop* haha.. but I quickly changed the page.. because it was quite revealing lol :shifty:

Teardrop: Sorry I am not really familiar with video editing things..:oops: oo you got the E.R cd! I bought it too but like you, I don't listen to it since I downloaded the mp3s too. ^^; It wasn't until recently that I realized that Yesasia was really cheap too!

Rach: I still can't believe the tickets are that expensive.. I wonder how much Madonna's tickets are?!

Anyone know why the tickets are so expensive?? (besides that it's produced by the same people as Madonna)

Grace: Aww. You should try to save up for the tickets!! because I really hope you can go :worry: And I hope you can buy his album too!! ^^;

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: i agree. the ticket prices are crazy. if they made it a bit cheaper, the tickets would probably sell out, instead of having thousands of empty seats. =.=

oh! here's the showcase thing and the mv preview if you don't want to dl it XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0k_pCx54IM

this one is longer, but i can't tell the difference. O_O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrX6z219teg

for the song 'i'm coming,' it's very different from his previous songs. and his back up dancers changed. some are white, lol. the song's more..on the rap side, while his previous songs were more r&b ish. has anyone bought the album yet?

[rachelle03]

jess: The capacity for his concert here is about 12k. We only have that few venues, and the SG Indoor Stadium is the usual place where all the artistes performed. I've watched Jay twice there. It'll be superb if it's a centre stage concert, so the capacity will be filled and everyone can see him nearer!!! :excited: I've watched Incomparable to Jay and it's centre stage, and my my, it's awesome. Everyone is screaming to get him to our side. lol. The one sided stage will probably be far away, esp for the lowest pricing range. The local papers just mentioned that the SGD888 seatings are limited to 200seats. Still, the price is taunting. I'm still thinking of which seat to settle. :depresse:
I've watched the preview too! It's awesome awesome awesome! After I watched it, I'm basically stunned for a few seconds and was like whoaa....

karen: Like I've told Jess, I'm still thinking of which pricing to settle for. I just managed to convince myself to go for $288. That's the limit for me. >.< I couldnt even bear to pay 168 for Jay and now, I'm paying 288...

[xiaohei88]

i saw the trailer.. thanks jeannie.. and thanks to you guys for the support as well on my studies.. Aja Aja..

im still quite upset with the price tickets.. i'm not sure if i want to give my once in a lifetime chance on his concert.. the numbers on it are just too absurd.. what will i even enjoy if i bought the minimum price?.. i can barely see him.. ommo.. i hope i can get a job as soon as possible and buy maybe the 288 ticket?.. hopefully that ticket price wont sell out on january.. unnie rachelle.. maybe we go together?.. but probably you going to pre order the tickets right?


well looking at the bright side.. i have made my membership already.. Im so excited.. i wonder when i can get a hold of them.. maybe with this membership.. a miracle would happen.. hope to get discounts or something..

[jessica]

here's the full showcase! i'm kind of watching it now...
061014_Rain's Coming Showcase (full) (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/b8kaa) - clubbox
size: 700MB (HD)
duration: 1hr

i'm feeling so awake now even though i've only slept for 3 hours and it's late at night now :wacko: i missed the live broadcast of his comeback on MBC >< --> MBC comeback special - I'm Coming & With U (missing the beginning) (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/oakaa) (credit: J.lee@soompi) this is only the LQ rip i think ^^

a Phil Cloud who went to the showcase wrote a report in her blog at bandstalker.com. it's very detailed with pics so read it if you have time ^^

karen: he did perform duet(s) with other singers in the past, besides Ai. 2 that i can remember is Byul and Lee Soo Young ^^ hmm..the stars can represent the lives that were lost in wars, or it's just there to look pretty ^^;
he looked like he was nude at the beginning of the I'm Coming MV. i hope it's just the camera angle that made it seem so :sweat: there won't be translations this quick, but check aheeyah.com. that site has the translation/romanization/hanguel for all 3 albums so it's likely that this one will be translated too :-D
if there wasn't a skull on the sleeve of that black shirt he wore for In My Bed, i'd like it more. do you see him put on all those blings?! i found out recently that the pinky ring (worn in the Pantech MV) and bracelet (worn in the BMW press con) is a set.
i don't know if there will be cuts for the rest of the performances. if you don't want to dl the full show, i can make the cuts for you ^^ the old songs he performed are all remixes. can you believe there are 10,000 fans who bought the insanely expensive package tour?! :crazy:

jeannie: i doubt there will be thousands of empty seats after seeing how much some fans are willing to pay to see his showcase X_x;

adfkdkfsdl;fkd;lfks OMO!!!!!! he did perform Nan!!! :excited: :bounce: :excited: :drool: OMG!!! all of you should watch this showcase! there are clips of him preparing for the showcase and meeting with Jamie King in LA to discuss about the concept + hot dancing! i better stop watching before i lose this post :sweat: i apologize for my sudden outburst :shy:

rach: do you know how's the setup will be for the coming concert? ^^; i know he prefers a T-shape stage, so it might not be at the center :oops: only 200 VIP seats?! i think it might get filled up then :sweat:

fizah: are you a member at Rain Singapore? you might find more info on discounts for Cloud members ^^

[xanimeotakux]

..is nan one of the songs on his newest album? o.O oh, and for that preview thing for 'i'm coming!

I DID NOT NOTICE HE WAS NAKED. i was concentrating on that weird sweat bubble going up his body! hahahaha XD

[rachelle03]

I just done with the showcase watching! It's an awesome concert!!! Not a showcase! And his new clothings for It's Raining, it's whoa......! :shock: I was totally surprised by it, cause I thought he dressed up for slow songs. Plus the black suit for Nan, we finally got to see the black suit version. :D I've yet to listen to his album but With You is so nice! Makes you wanna dance along! I kinda felt that I'm Coming is not that heart-thumping as It's Raining, but still nice.

Fizah: I'm still not sure which seatings to choose and I still not sure if my friend is coming along, cause I'll need to do some adjustment to her too. :faintz: I'll let you know, okay? But I'll most likely buying very soon once the ticket is on sale. We need to fight the tickets with oversea fans too. Y'know, his fans loved to travel around.

jess: There's not much info about the concert yet, other than the prices, venue and date. I do hope the organiser informed us before the selling date. Ya, his concert has been T stage, even for HK colliseum, which is famous for the 4 sided stage. So most likely I'll be looking at him from the big screen then. Well, it's better than nothing, right? :wink2:

[panda_shine]

I just finished watching "With You" after reading Rach's spazz lol.. :D hmm.. I dont' like it as much as the other performances I watched.. maybe his voice sounded a bit too soft in it (the performance)?? but I still like the performance. It looks so cute :D It kind of reminds me of the "Freeway" MV actually with the colorful background lights.

Jeannie: I haven't bought the album yet.. probably next week.. and "Nan" is an old song ^^;

About the price tickets.. hmm I guess the $288 is still worth it even though it's really far away.. but I guess the hype and the mood he'll set for the entire stadium would definitely be once in a lifetime experience. On the bad side, yeah it is quite true that for that price, you can get front row tickets for other artists >< Aigoo.

Fizah: Congrats on being the first official Cloud in JCN!! hehe. You should show us the things you can once you receive it^^;

Rach: Perhaps you can wait and see what the discounts are like for Clouds from Fizah.. and if they are good discounts, maybe you can join it

Jessica: Oh, was the songs he performed with Byul and LSY good? I don't think I've heard of it! ><;
Oh yeah, the skull is a weird combo.. because the rest of the outfit is so dressy.. maybe the skull is like the clothing brand's logo or something because I think in the picture with Jamie King.. JK's polo also had a skull logo ^^; Yes! I noticed the ring too! but didn't know it's a set..^^; I wonder if it's his own..?!
Can you please make me a cut for "Nan" and "It's Raining" since you and Rach are spazzing about it lol. Reading it makes me feel very curious!!
I saw the screencaps to the clip with him meeting Jamie King!! It looks really interesting!! Can you please direct me to the link where I can download it? I checked Sexy Bi but I can't find it ^^ Thank you!

[rachelle03]

Karen, I agree the With You in the showcase doesnt sounds good. But gotta watch the MBC performance, it's better! ^^ It does reminds me of Free Way too. Perhaps its the cap and the outfit too.

[jessica]

i found a bigger resolution and better sound quality of the full showcase! clubbox link (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/rm1ba) redl if you are really obsessed :sweat:

jeannie: Nan is from his 3rd album ^^ have you listened to it yet? it's reeeally good. most, if not all of us love it...esp. the performance, right girls? :whistle:

rach: i love all the new choreography and remixes for the old songs! i didn't expect him to be so dressed up for It's Raining too. the outfit he wore for With You was...not appealing ><; the song and dance was cute though. i prefer his MBC perf. he looked like a teenager with that cap, oversized bubble jacket, and baggy paints :D :love:

karen: the duets are ballads. i like them ^^ i wish he still sings with a deep voice like that =(
with LSY (Live) - clickie (http://download.yousendit.com/80F122817612ED77)
with Byul - clickie (http://download.yousendit.com/42B78BEE75296A80)
the skull is the logo?! i don't like it :oops: the pinky ring and bracelet is a gift. i don't remember from who though ^^;
the meeting with Jamie King is included in the showcase. you should DL it! :tongue: i'll make the cuts and upload it sometime in the weekday if you're not going to DL the full showcase ^^

latest news:
06.10.13 "The Angel defeats the devil!", the concept of 4th album <Rain's World>
(http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1075&view=getnewpost)

[xiaohei88]

yes unnie rach...karen may be right... hopefully i got the card by then and a job cause no way are my parents going to fork out 300 bucks for a concert of an artiste singing in a language that we dont know of.. but i dont give a care..

[apricot]

I've finished watching his showcase too!! It's really hot!!! :excited: I love the special effects, graphics and lighting!!! Nan is really really good... I love that performance. :love: Especially the part when Bi dances together with the graphics behind. Jamie King is a genius...

I'm still getting used to his new look..I still prefer his old look though. This new look is just too..erm bad boyish? But his stage presence is still there..he can command the crowd like nothing! :D

Just curious but is his perf in Inkigayo up yet? I've been wanting to watch that show since it's my baby's show too. :happy:

Oh, you guys are going for the $288 tickets? Man, the tickets' prices are so steep!!!! I'm curious about his concert too since he's the one who intro me to K-pop but the price is wayyyy too high for my curiousity..><

[panda_shine]

Rach: I think the version I watched was the MBC version ^^; I was wondering what is the difference between the MBC and SBS showcase?? I thought the MBC and SBS performance was the same.. except different channels were broadcasting it? So he had two showcases? *hmm*
But yeah, I think it was the cap too that reminded me of "Free Way" especially when he kinda moved it to the side and had that adorable expression :angel:

Jessica: I prefer the pinky ring over the bracelet hehe!
Btw, I just watched the clip with Jamie King so you don't have clip it for me^^ Thanks! Omo! I really like this clip and I feel so proud of him! I just love watching him practicing his dance routine in the studio and stuff. And his dancers are always so funny ^^.. It makes me happy knowing that he has such great dancers whom he is close to.. because sometimes he says he's lonely? I loved the part when he was topless and one his dancer was like touching him or something.. and he liked pushed her away in a joking way :D
Just take your time with the "Nan" and "It's Raining" clip.. no hurries^^;

Fizah: I really hope you can make it to the concert!! Yeah, if I did had the opportunity to go his concert, my parents would probably flip too about the tickets.. so hopefully when I do have the opportunity in the future, I'll be 'loaded' :whistle:

Hi apricot! Aww, I hope you can go to the concert too! Although I really like this previous looks too.. but I really like the new look too. The more I look at him, the hotter I think he looks.. and with the recent performances of the showcase.. it makes me even more hyped about him..^^. Drop by often ^^;

[xanimeotakux]

i couldn't download it from the clubbox link, so i just watched it on youtube.

and i loved the showcase! =D his duet with lim jeong hee was really good =)

pandashine: woah, since you live in canada, are you going to fly down to las vegas just for his concert? AND you have to buy a conert ticket? O_O

[sweep]

Hello may and teardrop!

xanimeotakux, i watched Rain's current performances in youtube too!

Karen, I like "Props in my life" too!

Rachelle, you going to the concert? Whoa! :) Seeing rain's performance $288 may be really worth it!

I'm dying! I think I'm liking Rain more again! He's was awesome in the showcase! Military style... The dancing was amazing. I have not watched the whole showcase yet but the intro was "wow!!" OMG! I'm super in "Rain high" right now!

My brother better come soon because I want to show someone Rain's performances... I'll make him sit through it... *evil laugh* tie him to the chair... as if! hehe

I felt silly I tried to wait for Rain's performance in SBS in my aunt's house...and of course Rain wasn't shown! *sigh* well, at least I saw park jung ah perform hehe Maybe it's delayed?!

I saw the SBS "with you" performance. He was cute there. The song is just fun! Before I get annoyed with Rain winking in his performances but in this song he was just cute! hahaha Hmmm... the showcase 'with you' performance was not good? Oh, I'll check out the MBC one.

Gosh, it makes me wish again to see his live performance badly. I guess I'm just hyped because of his comeback performances. Weeee!

[gracecherry]

ahhh~ i finally watched a few tiny clips of bi's new appearances!

jess onni > i saw glimpses of his showcase in the showcase news clip! and wow...his physique is getting even better than last time? or shall i say more ideal??:D saw him wearing this black suit, slacks and shirt, and his waist looked soo good and the pants made him looked so tall. *ahem,he IS*:rolleyes: i have yet to listen to his new album yet, cant DL it coz its MU><

sandy > ommmo, i m sooo relieved that u r into the BI mode again.u were distancing...before his new appearances. but, yes...welcome backkk~

karen > i do think he is looking burning hot toooo, in this most recent short military haircut, plus the military outfits he wore! wow~

jeannie > i guess Karen wouldnt be able to do that. It is just that, we are still students and simply cant afford to fly over to a certain country to catch a concert... hmm, were u the one who is gona attend his LV concert?? ^^ really hope u could go,and then update us here on hows the atmosphere.

[rachelle03]

Karen: There's only one showcase, which is held in their stadium and it's broadcasted by SBS. Then he attended MBC and SBS's programmes. So it's 1 showcase and 2 programme performances. He performed an extra In My Bed in the SBS Inkigayo, other than I'm Coming and With You. Another difference... he wore blue bubble jacket for SBS and red for MBC's. :D

Jess: I think he don't suit the orange colour he wore in the showcase. :D He's so bulky and still had to wear that oversized jacket. But don't you feel like hugging him?

fizah: Oh... do let me know, okie? I don't understand his language either. We are the same. :D

Sandy: I do want to attend his concert. Still convincing myself about the pricing. :sweat:

Grace: Will you be coming over to SG for his concert?

[jessica]

the admin from rain-usa announced that she heard Bi said from a news clip that he'll be touring a few cities in the US besides Las Vegas!!! :excited: i still have a chance of seeing him next year, if it's true! i'm afraid of how much the tickets are going to cost :oops:

fizah: you'll be going with your parents?! :excited:

Ruiling: welcome back! i don't remember when was the last time you posted in his thread >< all the clips from his MBC and SBS comebacks are available in the DL thread. there are both clubbox and non-clubbox links ^^ i really think his concerts are worth it, maybe because i'm obsessed :D it's a once in a lifetime chance to see him perform live in your country. the feeling i got when i was in the same room with him and his fans was indescribable. i'm sure you understand what i meant since you went to Shinhwa's concert :-)
This new look is just too..erm bad boyish?
hehe. i thought he looked manlier and more mature, yet boyish. i love his napeun namja look too so it's a win-win for me :tongue:

karen: let me try to explain the shows he appeared on...
the one from SBS on the 13th was his showcase/preview of the world tour which is 1 hour long. only SBS is broadcasting that. the next day, he appeared on MBC Music Core for his comeback and he performed I'm Coming and With You. on Sunday the 15th he performed his comeback on SBS Inkigayo with I'm Coming, In Your Bed, and With You. if you're still confused, you can refer to this (http://kureum.livejournal.com/13281.html). i posted all the clips in groups ^^
the dancer who ran her hands down his body was Ms. Orange (Hwa Young) :D there is something you might notice in the It's Raining perf with one of the American dancers x_x;

sandy: lol. i know the effects he can have on us. oh, my dongseng uploaded one of my favorite songs, In My Bed from his SBS comeback special on youtube --> http://youtube.com/watch?v=nPhUOhQF9iA :love:
does the Korean channel you have broadcast the newest performances? he should've been there. he performed second to last. the last was DBSK.

grace: yes, he's leaner now ^^ i'm still ogling at his new image :drool: i hope you can stream from youtube. i think his showcase and some comeback performances are uploaded already.

rach: haha. i do! he looked so adorable while performing With You. i was giggling when he was being all playful and slapping his backside :D that orange outfit is too shiny @.@

4th Album Lyrics (English Translation)
Credit: Biwithrain// baidu// bikyo family
Kr to Ch: P&Kyo
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

My bed

I already heard today
You've found a new man, you've already
I'm shocked to know how you and him date
Gave him the same presents you've gave me
Adding to it a letter with the same content
Didn't you say this kind love is a first for you, baby?

Lying on the bed I've laid on before
Look at him with the way you've looked at me before
Sharing your love with someone else, how did you forget me so soon?
I simply cannot believe, did you really love me?
I haven't even given thought to a new relationship
The precious memories you've had with me
You've wiped them all away while creating new ones with him
Why do you want to wipe away our memories?
Why? Why?


Lying on the bed I've laid on before
Look at him with the way you've looked at me before
Sharing your love with someone else, how did you forget me so soon?
I simply cannot believe this. Did you really love me?
I haven't even given thought to a new relationship

The car I've sat in
The seat I've sat in
The place where I used to stand is now occupied by this man
The mouth that said "I love you" to me is now facing someone else.

Lying on the bed I've laid on before
Look at him with the way you've looked at me before
Sharing your love with someone else, how did you forget me so soon?
I simply cannot believe, did you really love me?
I haven't even given thought to a new relationship

I really cannot believe this
I really cannot believe this. Did you really love me?

[apricot]

Panda_shine: Hi to you too!!! :happy: IF I have the money I would really want to go but $200 is the most I can pay..but I want to get front seats at the same time! Lol, I'm greedy. Who wouldn't right? Haiz, how come they can't lower the prices where people like me can afford it?

But I have to admit Bi's concert is one of those concert you just have to watch. I mean, you HAVE to watch. That man's a legend just like Jay. Haha..

Jessica: Hi to you as well!!! :-) Haha, I'm glad you still remember my name!!! :D Good memory! XD Yes, I haven't been posting much..you won't even know my existence. XP But I frequent JC.net now and then just that I don't post. ^^;

Yes!! Being in a same place as Shinhwa was great! The atmosphere was great!! But humph..I'm still pondering whether to go, the money's drawing me back again..*slaps myself*

Thanxs for the links btw! I'm d/ling the Inkigayo one..^^ Btw, I LOVE the duet he sang with Lim Jeong Hee. Her voice is awesome, Bi's voice too. I get goosebumps whenever I hear that song. I haven't heard all the songs in his album yet but that song is my favourite so far.

[xiaohei88]

karen you're not going for his concert arent you?.. oh god.. he's not coming to canada is he?.. thats a rel shame.. i pray hard that i can make it for the concert... and maybe a privelge or something.. but i really hope can get discounts.. that i can help get unnie rach discounts tooo


Unnie rach no i am not going with my parents.. if so.. i would be the luckiest girl in the whole world.. and yes.. pigs will fly.. haha..

apricot OH HI!!!!.. didnt see you there.. this is great.. another singaporean here.. we should go together to the concert then the .. isnt the ticket just so so so expensive?

[dawnyee]

Hie guys!

Man.. you guys are pretty fast.. in just less than 24 hours and there are soooo many posts .. I had a hard time catching up.

teardrop: I have been a fan for a long time already but it is just that I havent got the time to actually drop by and chat with you guys. I have watched all of him drama except for A Love To Kill.. I'm gonna watch it soon.. I hope. And how did I come about obsessing him? Full House. Period. Ha ha!


panda_shine: Yes, I totally agreed with you.. the more you looked at it the hotter he gets. He doesnt have that boyish look but I'm sure once he smiles... it's all back to normal. :love:

To all my Singaporean friends, better start saving up.. you guys have less than 4 months. But the tixs are freakkin expensive. I don't know if I could even afford to pay when he comes over to Malaysia. Dear GOD, why wasn't I born rich? :whistle:

[xiaohei88]

dawnyee Hello there... you and me are the same.. on the full house thing.. without it.. i dont see myself here and drooling over orri oppa then haha.. 4 months?.. i bet by start of january the tickets will sell out fast like hot cakes.. need a miracle man...


the unnie thing confuses me again and again.. sposed to be rach unnie right.. aigoo fizah.. how blur can you get..haha

[panda_shine]

I need to spazz a bit right now hehe.. don't mind me. I was supposed to be reading but somehow... I found myself downloading clips and going through Youtube :rolleyes:

I managed to watched the SBS Inkigayo "In My Bed" and "I'm Coming" performance.. hmm I like them as much as the Showcase one.. but I like the camera view for SBS Inkigayo more.. since it's more upclose ^^; And is it me or did it seemed like "In My Bed" was shorter than the Showcase one? Oh, and last night.. I couldn't stop listening to "I'm Coming". I am starting to really like the song especially the chorus.. and the performance is too good for words^^;

I also watched the other performances I missed from the Showcase! Escaping From The Sun, Friends, and It's Raining. I really really liked the "EFTS" performance. The way he performed it along with the orange background.. *ahh*.. and I liked how in the end, you can only see the shadow. "Friends" was really nice and I like the concept of having the kids on stage! And the It's Raining is nice too!!

Jeannie: Like Grace said.. no, I won't be going to the LV concert :oops:

Grace: I agree with you.. I think he's getting more.. erm.. ideal too lol. Not that he wasn't before.. but all the looks for "Rain's Coming" is really making me :cloud9:

Rach/Jessica: Thanks for the clarification on the confusion :shy: When I was watching MBC performance, I was wondering why the jacket was red.. when I remember the pictures I saw was orange. :D
I don't really like the puffy jacket either.. esp. the orange one.. it's too bright >< but it does make him look cute ^^;

Jessica: "It's Raining" from the Showcase was on Youtube so I got to watch it. :excited: I was paying really close attention to the part when the American girls appeared since you mentioned it lol.. but do you mean the left or right one? or both lol? :shifty:

The translations to In My Bed is quite sad!

apricot: Yeah, I guess this concert is more expensive because of the people they hired for to help produce the concert and the American dancers etc. I love the duet with LJH too!! When I first saw it, I fell in love with it too.

Fizah: I am not going to the LV concert and no.. he's not going to Canada either :oops:

dawnyee: Hehe, yeah sometimes our thread goes quite fast^^; Yeah, for me, "Rain's Coming" didn't really give me the boyish look except for "With You" :happy:

[xanimeotakux]

gracecherry: oh, how i wish that i could go to his LV concert. i only live a few hours away. driving to LV would take..estimated...12 hours? =/ but no, my parents are too overprotected. i just hope that when i have some INDEPENDENCE, rain would still be a huge hit and maybe even perform somewhere NEARER..like..san francisco perhaps? =D

wow. we all love youtube. if youtube wasn't here, we would be deprived from so many things. >.< so many videos, music videos, dramas, shows, etc. XD i love youtube! =D

i don't really like his showcase, military clothing. i just wished he'd dress in some casual clothing =/ i mean, the song didn't even seem military-ish, so why dress up like that..~_~

sweep: LOL, you're going to torture your brother? haha, he'll have to sit through rain's 'shirt going up past his abs' scene :D

[jessica]

Bi's schedule for October --> here (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1080&view=getnewpost)
he'll be on YSMM again!!! :excited:

Ruiling: i try to remember all the names of those i've mingled with :hugz: i agree that getting the front row seats/spots is a must for his concerts. you get the full impact. but sitting further back, i can probably take in more. i was only staring at him the whole time and didn't really pay much attention to the backdrop =X there will be a lot of huge LCD screens for this tour so those sitting far away should still be able to see what's happeneing :sweat: the duet with LJH is one of my favorites too because it's a ballad. my favorite at the moment is In My Bed. the performance was sooo good :love:

karen: i thought In My Bed for the comeback special was shorter too ><; I'm Coming is growing on me. the chorus part got stuck in my head today :D
the other female dancer was Ms. Orange. parts of her hair was bleached so it didn't really look like her. i'm referring to the other dancer with blond hair (on the right) x_x;

jeannie: the military outfit is part of the theme of this tour :tongue: we'll have to wait and see what the lyrics mean for I'm Coming.

[rachelle03]

I did a bad thing. >.<
I couldnt resist the temptation and I downloaded the album. ><
But it's awesome. I like almost all of the songs except Touch Ya. I love 'In My Bed', 'Not A Single Day' and 'With You'. Although It's Raining album had a powerful hit single, I feel that Rain's World had a complete album, as in all the songs are nice. And I realised his vocal is very 'smooth' now and he sang in a higher pitch as compared to his 1st album. I like the way he sings now.

Ji Hunnie, I promised I'll definitely buy the album once it hits our shore. :happy:

jess/karen: On second thought, his zipped up bubble jacket in the showcase reminded me of the Marshmellow Man in Ghostbusters. :D

karen: It's Raining was great, right? He looked so hot with the suit and hat, not performing SangDoo song but It's Raining. :love:

[jessica]

On second thought, his zipped up bubble jacket in the showcase reminded me of the Marshmellow Man in Ghostbusters.
:lolabove:

i'm as guilty as you. it's okay as long as we buy the album afterwards :-) Touch Ya is a catchy song. i love JYP's intro, "it's the world famous artist" :excited: the english part in the chorus reminded me of Hyori's Get Ya though :oops:

i was re-watching the showcase yesterday with my mom because i wanted to show her his short hair. she doesn't really like it because she's used to seeing his long hair ><; when he was performing Ways to Avoid the Sun, she surprised me by saying, "oh, he's singing an old song!" i asked her how did she remember, and she replied with, "it's because you kept playing his performances in the past" :D we used to watch Music Bank together sometimes and she even remembered that i commented on how cute he looked when i first saw him, keke~ that made my day <3

news after the showcase

06.10.14 Foreign fans fond of RAIN~

More than 10,000 foreign fans were fond of RAIN in yesterday showcase!

"The premiere showcase of 4th album... It's really a magnificent occasion!!"

In the evening of Oct 13, the singer RAIN was singing under rain and below the stage the audience yelled "Rain! Rain" "Jeong Jihun! Jeong Jihun!"

At 8pm sharp, Rain in army suit walked down from the helicopter. It was actually the screen's walldrop! He was surrounded by cheers when singing his new song <I'm Coming> It was an one-hour showcase to publisize his new album, as well as the upcoming world tour concerts that covers USA, Japan, China etc... There were about 10,000 foreign fans occupying the front rows and yelling crazily~ It reflected the 'brand value' of RAIN!

A Japanese lady (54 years old) said, "I've been to his Japan concert last year, as well as his Beijing and Bangkok concerts... I feel that he's much more fabulous... more powerful than before!" also she added up, "I paid about JYP1,300,000 to come here for this showcase, it's a 3D2N tour group to Korea."

Another Hong Kong fans (23 years old) commented, "He's so cute and sexy, like a naturally born artist!... He's the only Asian singer that can compete with top singers from western..." Among these foreign fans, 90% were ladies and most of them took 3D2N tour to Korea.

Rumours saying that his free showcase ticket was sold at 200k Won in auction website. There were 8 giant screens being setup in the showcase. The performance was carried out in musical drama style which was more gorgeous than his previous Asian tour. His powerful dance was very impresive, too.

"It's totally different from the past, my new album contains philosophic information..." said Rain.

edit: forgot to add that I'm Coming MV is out today!!! look for it in the DL thread ^^

[xanimeotakux]

i'm watching the complete showcase right now. ^_^

jessica: lol, oops. didn't know the theme was military-ish. :shy: omg, his schedule is practically packed! >.<

wow! your mom listens to rain's songs! cool! =)

wow. a 54 year old is rain's fan! cool! XD lol, 90% females? i'm not surprised XD i barely know any guys who are rain's fans, hehe

[sweep]

HI dawnyee and apricot! I think I was not able to say HIII!!!

Jessica, I like 'In My Bed' too! As well as, 'friends' and 'with you'. I'm not too keen on I'm coming. The dance steps are cool but the song itself... I have to get used to it more.

Gosh, I wish Rain would come back in NY. It's good to see Rain in tv shows. Love letter and YSMM! Yay! I also didn't like the way Ms. Orange's hair was bleached too!


Grace, I made my brother sit for a while. He didn't like "I'm coming" either. He didn't sit through the whole song. hmph... hehe But he was kinda impressed with the dancing.

My sister doesn't like his hair. She said that it looked like that he has a wig/'toupe'. She said that Rain looks better with a little longer hair. I sent her his concert through youtube. hehe I second, youtube is the bomb!


I like Rain's showcase performances I just didn't appreciate the remix of 'Instead of saying goodbye'.

[dawnyee]

Ahn-nyong-ha-se-yo! :wave:

Okies.. I try to drop by here as often as possible to keep abreast with oppa's progress. :D

I haven't really have the chance to watch his showcase yet except for his I'm Coming and In My Bed performances. All I have to say is that the dance choreography for I'm Coming is so so so cool and much more difficult

[panda_shine]

I don't think I've been so crazy over Ji Hun before.. and I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing.. aigoo :oops: Is anyone feeling the same way (besides Grace lol) or.. is it just me? ^^;

I have downloaded the full MV but haven't watched it yet.. but hopefully very soon. ^^; I am trying to resist because.. I know after watching, I wouldn't be able to focus lol.

Jessica: I keep singing to the chorus to "I'm Coming" too! And then of course, images of him from all those performances are always popping in my head too ^^
I didn't re-watch the "It's Raining" clip yet .. but is Ms.Orange known for being close to Bi?? I remember she was mentioned frequently awhile ago in here but I can't remember what it was about?
I checked the DL thread and you mentioned someone in Soompi will be doing the translations for the radio clip soon.. do you know if it'll be hardsubbed? I downloaded it but if it's hardsubbed, I'll wait till later to watch it then ^^;
Aww.. that's so cute that your Mom watched his performances too! She sounds like she's a bit of a fan too ^^;

Rach: I agree you about how you described his vocals. Before, his songs didn't really 'caught' me until after several listens especially the fast ones.. but now, I love his fast ones too. I love most (or all) the songs on the album too!


I haven't bought my Rain's World either.. but I'll probably do it this weekend.. :happy:

[xanimeotakux]

hey, you guys should watch this! ^_^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IJ5v0QtQAg

he writes something...i have no idea what it says. =.= can anyone help? >.<

ahhh, he looked so bored! XD he kept waving to the camera and did that wave thing with his arms, hehe rain was too cute! :oops:

the mv is AWESOME. i really liked it =) haha, i think i only blinked like..once throughout the mv. and the mv was long. 6 minutes.. O_O

An interesting report from the crew of the showcase.


16.10.06 Feedback from Showcase crews, something about Uri Bi

There were 5 days of preparation in total
19 were stage crews
It was tough, hunger always stayed with us due to the continuous rehearsal... Sometimes it carried on until 5am, couldn't even have a good sleep either, and blisters came out as we kept moving the props and equipment

The lunch time was about 12pm
Dinner at 11pm, i.e. the harden hamburger... T___T

On the first day of preparation, Rain did not come.

On second day, Rain came in around 7pm, started his first rehearsal...
It was very impressive: He greeted every crew and staff once he reached...
Since he's a super star, so probably he might be arrogant or impolite...
But he didn't, Rain is really a humble and honest person.
Anyway, he just followed up on the flow and sequence of performance...

Third day was the formal rehearsal.
When it was about to begin,
Rain was running in front of me (I kept staring at him)
Jumping to the stage
and suddenly he knocked his head on the big screen!!! (It was the screen at the middle of stage, to show rising helicopter)
He stunned there for about 2 minutes, not moving at all = =;;
Only some crews and I saw it... We were too shocked and stoned there...
His manager and dancers did not notice...
Rain holding his head for about 2 minutes, and one of the dancers asking if he was okay....
Seemed like he was very hurt...
Later, his assistant and manager quickly came over.
To be frank, I think he might feel too embarrassed to stand up instead of great pain.
Fortunately nothing happened, so we continued with the rehearsal.
Lots of problem because it was our first time.
...
From that day, we only had 2-3 hours of sleeping time everyday - -;;

On the forth day, the showcase time was nearer
In our last rehearsal, all crews and Rain were worried and nervous,,,
...
Rain is a perfectionist, isn't he?
He wasn't quite satisfied and requested for another round
.....

In addition, for the song <Friends>
He sang together with children...
Alright, kids are not that easy to handle...
Some of them didn't sing, just turned back to look at Rain
Very naughty =.=
If it were me, I would be angry...
But Rain was different...
"If you listen to me, I give you CD with autograph~"
he didn't give any actually...
He talked to children with great patience
An expert to handle kids in fact ^ ^

jess: Ya, upon your note, I realised Touch Ya do sounds like Hyori's Get Ya. Doesnt that mean that it sound like Britney's Do Somethin'? >.< Your mum is so hip! My mum called him "Ah Rain" :D it sounds so friendly and family, cause in our family we usually call Ah XXX to close families. Just like HK peeps.

Karen: The MV is nice... Although a bit weird as in why are they dancing in the warzone. :sweat:

Oh ya, to those who watched I'm Coming MV, anyone find that the last scene with them dancing on a stage, does it reminds you of the Verona (if i remember correctly) Beach in the movie Romeo + Juliet? The one where Mercutio was shot.

Somehow I like the chemistry between Ms orange and him. They danced well together.

[jessica]

jeannie: if you look at the CD cover again, you'd notice that he has army pants on...unless you were ogling at something else :rolleyes: his image on that cover glories soldiers who fight in wars to bring peace and save those who needs help. i love the meaning behind this album and tour. way to go Ji Hunnie! <3
my mom doesn't listen to his music unless i'm playing it or watching his clips when she's around :D i wish she's a fan so i can drag her along to his concerts.
many of his Japanese fans are older. if you pay closer attention to the crowd you'd see a lot of ajummas around. i don't know where they get the energy to follow him to all of his concerts/events. during Rainy Day in NY, there were 4 ajumma fans in front of us who came at around 10AM so they were at the beginning of the line. we stood/sat in the windy sidewalk until we were let in at 7PM :wacko:

sandy: when you watch more performances of I'm Coming, you might slowly start to like the song ^^ someone uploaded the full MV to youtube already so you should watch it when you have the chance! i hope he'd come back too and we must start saving up early :sweat: the Love Letter that he'll appear on is not the game show, but the music show. i'm definitely looking forward to YSMM!

oh, on a radio program yesterday (17th) he said that the showcase/preview world tour concert only showed 1% of what is in store for us! :excited: some caps of that interview. the clip is 615MB and you can find it at bummie's or sexybi's box. i haven't watched it yet, but the caps are making me go weak at the knees :love:

dawnyee: yes, the new choreography is very difficult. he said that there was a step that he couldn't get right and he had to practice over 100 times. he felt so overwhelmed that he cried because Jamie King has very high demands from him ='(

edit:

i took too long to reply again >< i should learn to refresh the page before submitting ^^;

karen: lol. as you learn more about him, you'd start to like him more and more. then there's no turning back :whistle: there were rumors that he's dating Ms. Orange during his BKK concert because they were seen acting very friendly with each other. he's close to all his dancers so it doesn't come as a surprise to fans who knows how he treats them. the media blow things up to get more ppl to read ><; i don't know if the radio clip will be hard subbed. i'll have to ask one of the translators if she'll time it. i know of someone who might want to do it :D i've ripped the audio of the show already so if you're really curious you can listen to it first ^^ it's at bummie's box.
my mom does like him but won't be idolizing him the way i do :D i've never been this passionate about an artist before :blush:

jeannie: that's part of the new radio interview from yesterday! thanks for the link ^o^ i haven't watched yet, but if what he wrote is one of the cap i uploaded, the msg says "i love you" :cloud9:

rach: yes, it does remind me of both songs (i haven't listened to Britney's full version though) :oops: my mom calls him Rain too, and she'll add "ah" at the beginning sometimes. i told her i like calling him Bi because that's the first name i've learned before i knew it meant Rain ^^; i don't have a problem with Ms. Orange dancing with him also, but that new dancer x_x;

[gracecherry]

ommo > jess onni kumawo~~ ive DLed all of ji hunnie's new songs!! i REALLLLLLLYYYY like Cassiopeia, even just the 1st time listening to it, In my bed is nice too...followed by Not a single day. the others is ok..i would need a few more listennings, as usual, i went to the comp lab esp to DL, and i managed to DL his sbs perf too,'in my bed'&'with u'...i would try to get 'i m coming' tmrw.ahhhh~ i like his new haircut, and the changed of his physique to being leaner now than the past, yea...i noticed theres a new 'foreign' female dancer?? hmm. ommo. is that TRUE? or is there some basis to the news of him dating ms orange in bkk? ahhhh~ i think they look good together.but ~~~ hmm...duno la. and ur ommoni! she is so cute la, at least u can talk to her bout bi once in a while, i cant...my mom would think i m nuts...ahh, i jus wish to have some normal talks like...ahh...the concert was great etc...coz, rain's news is quite common on the chinese papers here.:rolleyes: there was a whole page of report in his showcase the other day,with pics...

i gave ira the links u emailed me, i cant wait to hear what she thinks too.

i have been listening to cassiopeia on loop~~

rachelle onni > hmmm, i dont think i wud be able to go to Sg for his concert, i would try my best to go when he comes to KL. ahh, if wud be sooo cool if i can make it to the sg one, then i can meet with u,and we wud have the best time ever seeing ji hunnie's perf! and ommmmo~ the news of him knocking on the big sreeen...i find that *oouch* but cute.

sandy >oommo...i gues u may have to make ur brother sit thru it a few ,more times then? haah *joking~~* but i personally like his new hair cut, though i missed his old style, fluffy aaha, but this new style defines him in style...lol...

karen > we just cant help being on cloud 9! with this new haircut,he is bringing the gap of cute&sexy closer than ever.i m sure u get wat i mean?

jeannie > awww, dont feel too bad, there will always be a nex time~~ we wud all jus keep in touch wif his latest perfs and clips online, at least...we stil can see him dance...i noe the feeling is different .but...yea...*dont give up*

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: *cough* soldiers fighting in wars to bring peace? >.>
i just hope he's not referring to the Iraq War..XD

wow. my legs would be so stiff if i was standing for so many hours >.< how can the older fans do it? :glug:

i guess the fact that they'll see rain gives them a surge of energy! haha

omg, it says 'i love you?' OMGOMGOMG, i love you too rain!!!!!! :love:

gracecherry: yeah, i guess. =/ have you ever been to any of his concerts?

oh, i hear that spork needs a companion to go to rain's LV concert! maybe if she can go, then she can tell him what rain was like! :excited:

[rachelle03]

You know, whenever I watched With You's performance, I'll always had the feeling that the fun-loving dancers of Bi will surely do something funny during the last part of the dancing. The one with "Oooh Baby...". Indeed, I saw the cheeky dancers doing a stint during the MBC. :D

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/rachjcnet/wu1.jpg
The dancer behind did something to the girl while they are doing the peace-sign-pointing-to-the-left pose. Maybe he poke her, or something.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/rachjcnet/wu2.jpg
The poor girl fell on the dancer in front.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/rachjcnet/wu3.jpg
She managed to cling onto the guy in front and gave the dancer behind a you-did-that! smile. :D

They are just so funny. They had the chemistry between them, which also explains why the caucasian girl dancing in It's Raining in the showcase seems so weird and way incomparable to Ms. Orange. :D

Jess: I did hear Britney's before and I have to say Hyori's is very similar. Touch ya, well, a bit though. I just dont like the "i say let me touch ya". Too 'touchy', ji hunnie. :sweat: I rewatched the showcase and I dont like the new dancer too. She seems so untrained. Lack the 'power' for It's Raining. Well, Ms. Orange had danced the routine for XXXX times. :D

grace: Oh I see... I thought it'll be great if we can go together. ^^ i read that KL's will be the last stop for the tour and it'll be in April. If the ticket is reasonable, I don't mind going KL. :shifty:

[panda_shine]

I've just watched the Choi Power radio clip! I am kind of glad there weren't much talking since I wouldn't be able to understand.. :sweat: It was so cute that he kept waving :D And the part when he wrote "I love you" (the part that Jessica posted).. it was so cute because he showed it to the camera once.. but I guess he was worried it won't be shown clearly.. so he brought it up closer! :happy: He's too cute! :whistle:

I watched the "I'm Coming" MV too! and hmm.. I like it but same as Rach.. I thought it was a bit contradicting how the song is upbeat and he's dancing.. whereas the visual mood/theme is very sad. Oh, and towards the end, I notice on the side of his army jacket.. is this graphic of erm.. a female body. :rolleyes: Again, a bit contradicting.. :sweat:

Jessica/Rach: My Mom calls him "Ah Rain" too! :excited: But only when she sees him on TV.. and she pretends to be those HK fans.. just to get my attention ^^;

Jessica: Please let me know if the hardsubbed part comes out^^ I glimpsed through the clip but because it was long and I was so clueless.. so I didn't watch it ^^;
oo.. so the blond fringe girl is Ms.Orange? At first I thought both dancers were caucasian! lol~
I listened to the old duets you posted few posts ago^^; I like the one with Byul more :happy:

Rach: I noticed that too when I was watching that "With You" performance.. actually I only saw how the girl was smiling so much in the end and standing kind of funny.. but didn't know what happened prior ^^;


I've just ordered Rain's World!! I hope to receive it by the end of this month :happy:

YSMM spoiler:

Ch to Eng: rayndrop

JH was on YSMM today. They talked about the "noona-dongsaeng relationship" he had when he was in high school.

JH said, because he really liked that senior so much, there was once he actually got drunk while trying to drown his sorrows.
While he was drunk, he blurted out this little secret to a hyung (also his high school senior), saying he really did like that noona senior so much....then he broke down and cry.
That day, this hyung called the senior and told her, "Jihoon really likes you a lot." This noona senior replied, she kind of fancy Jihoon too...
The next day, Jihoon plucked up his courage and called this noona senior.
The first sentence he said...

"Noona, saranghaeyo."

(Later, he got dumped by this senior, and this left an unhealing scar in Jihoon's heart.)


Ji Hunnie is on YSMM again! :D Hopefully it's gonna be as fun as the previous episodes.

Karen: The dancers are just so funny. :D You've ordered Rain's World?! I'm still waiting for the album to hit the stores. I think the delay might be due to the change of distributor. It was said to changed from Universal to Warner.

[xanimeotakux]

can anyone link a picture of ms. orange? i have no idea who she is XD

rachelle03: omg, he dated a girl older than him? :brows: and she..DUMPED JI HOON!? how could she possibly have the heart to dump someone as perfect as he? :oops: lol, she probably regrets it these days :tongue:

[jessica]

OMOMOMOMO!!! Cyborg will enter in the US! --> read here (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1089&view=getnewpost)
i want him to debut as a singer first, but i trust JYP's decision with this. my only worry now is that this movie will be dubbed into english x_x

i was looking at his schedule again and noticed that he'll be performing on Music Bank on my bday! w00t~

grace: did you watch the performances yet?! there are a few American female dancers..i think 3 or 4? the news of him and Ms. Orange dating is reported in a Thailand paper. the paparazzi took pics of them playing beach volleyball and snorkeling together. he was with other dancers too. the media just had to blow that up =/
hehe. my mom knows i'm nuts about him already :blush: was the news about the showcase a good review?! apparently there were more than 40,000 fans who went so it exceeded his expectations :excited:
what do you think about him coming to Malaysia in April as the last stop for the World Tour?! is that enough time for you to save up? ^^

jeannie: haha. it applies generally :tongue: we were standing at the beginning, then most of us started to sit. we probably look like crazy tourists to those passing by ><; OMO! spork is going?!!! ask her to stop by here and i'll direct her to sites where she might find a companion ^^
if i remember correctly, that woman dumped him for a rich guy who drives a nice car :dry:
here's Ms. Orange:
http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/4949/2005286895929570762_th.jpg (http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2005286895929570762)

rach: i didn't notice that! but then again, i've only watched it twice. i prefer the SBS perf more so i've neglected the MBC one =x i can't tell if those female korean dancers were the same as the ones from the past, except for Ms. Orange :sweat:
he talks about that noona he used to love again :cry: i hope Rxgoodleaf will sub this YSMM too.

oh, oh! talking about touching and dancing, you girls should DL the MBC comeback interview! there was a segment that showed them practicing the dance steps in a LA studio. one part was Ji Hunnie demonstrating one of the moves on his lead dancer :D this is the 2nd time i've seen him so touchy with another male, keke~ then that part where Ms. Orange was running her hands over his body and Ji Hunnie playfully pushing her away :oops: :D

karen: i had to delete the full interview after watching it because the file was too big, and i'm not sure if anyone's going to translate so i had to free some space ^^; i made the cut of the part where they're discussing about Cassiopeia until the commerical ended with "ya~" so you get to watch a little longer of that footage of his cute expression :love:
there was a graphic of a female body on his army jacket?!! i can't believe i've missed it while i was subbing it -o-; i'll have to re-watch now.....

youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNXNiwuHVsc) or DL from YSI (http://download.yousendit.com/02AFF1D35385B1C4)

Grace, you should DL this! it's 17MB . DU should be able to take it, if you leave it on for 2+ hours ^^;

edit:
i see the image of a woman on the upper sleeve of the army jacket! x_x;

[gracecherry]

ahh,today was sooo cute at work, i m happy whenever someone mentions bi out of the blue. a rather...grown up lady, not a young gurl like us nemore, she said that theres something about the way RAIN dances~ ^^

jess onni > i saw the other 2 sbs perf, i didnt manage to get the i m coming perf. so i sTILLL dont noe how the dance is, but, ^^ sooooN. aigoo,i noe about them goin for beach volley and etc...but like i know ,its in a group.hmm, somehow, i feel...aside from being in a group, i felt there mayb something 'special' between them too? ehehe, its jus a feeling~lol hmm,i dont noe how to read,since its in chinese. but, i m sure, they are explaining all about his comeback.and all the amazing new idea. i gues, yea...i would have enuf $$....but, i would have to consider the price still~ my mom definitely wouldnt let me go if the price is overboard. but i wil see wat i can do...~~~

rachelle onni > yes, if you can make it for the KL tour, it would be superrrrrr fun...coz we can go together, and ira....she may be joining us! ^^

jeannie > nope i havent been to his concert before....yea, not quite possible since i cant fly over to SK, or HK ....^^ i m realy hoping for the KL one in april.

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: aww..the cyborg link doesn't work =(

lol, crazy tourists? haha XD omg, ms.orange is very pretty! they make a cute couple! :happy:

URGH, DUBBED IN ENGLISH?! not to be rude, but they're going to have some weird white voices replace bi's hot voice >.<

gracecherry: wha? he doesn't have concerts in malaysia? i never knew that. O_O

[panda_shine]

I saw the picture of his YSMM appearance.. and he looks so handsome with the vest and tie. Is the YSMM like a game show? I don't know if I've seen it before?! :sweat:

Wow.. so Cyborg will be playing in local theatres?! What about Canada? :-). I hope they will.. the only Asian movies they've played here in local theatres before was Shaolin Soccer.
I kind of want him to debut as a singer first too since I am sure everyone will be amazed by his dancing skills.. :oops:

Rach: Oh.. perhaps if you can't wait, you can order it from Yesasia. I checked HK HMV site and it seems to be much more expensive than Yesasia after I converted to CAD. It's usually cheaper.. how weird~

Jeannie: Hah, yeah I would soo regret it too if I was the girl. Oh well, she missed her chance. :whistle:

Jessica: Aww, the picture with Ms.Orange is quite cute! Is the nickname just given by the fans? And I noticed how the picture is kinda 'orange-y' color too :D
I saw the part where he was touching his male dancer too haha.. I found it quite funny too!! But I still like his reaction the most when he pushed Ms.Orange away :D

Grace: Wow.. how did the customer started talking about him? *curious* Did you start chatting with her about him?? :shifty:
Aww.. Ira is going to KL when Bi holds a concert there? Or she purposedly planned it?


I was wondering.. which cap do you think Bi wears more of? The NY ones or the Zoo York ones?? because I am thinking of buying one ^^; Actually I've been looking for a casual cap but .. I wasn't sure what kind.

[shine618]

wow just saw a clip from his concert with the black dress shirt, dress pants and belt and his new short hair cut.. wow... this "sophisticated" look is sooo good! :D

and i'm extremely liking the song "in my bed"!

[jessica]

some lyrics translation for the 4th album is released here (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1065) ^^

omg, his KBS Love Letter perfs were awesome! it's worth DLing for 5+ hours ^^; he was so playful when singing I Do and With U :cloud9: he turned to the camera and winked and smiled when there was a close-up of his face a few times! it felt like he was winking at me :blush: he looked soooo cute!!! my pulse is still racing now *fans self* i love how he connects with the audience and camera :love: during the interview, the host was touching his arm x_x i think they're discussing about how to keep his body in shape. he was embarrassed and flustered when an ajumma from the audience told him that she really really likes him :D the full clip with the intro and interview is quite big. i think you should be able to find cuts at sexybi soon? for those who want to see the full HQ show, DL here --> http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/2fbea (UL by: J.lee - 499MB). he performed I'm Coming, Ways to Avoid the Sun, I Do and With U. the duration is almost 30 minutes :-)

some Phil Clouds were lucky enough to see his MTV Live Wow perf yesterday. you can read about the account in one of their blogs at bandstalker.com. there are some pics too. he performed In My Bed!!!!!!!

a fan made a gif of that MBC interview clip --> :roll: (http://img.icez.net/ir/r20061019_220149anime.gif) (source: joyplace)

grace: how did that convo start? hehe. what do you think about the 2 sbs perfs?!! :excited: i hope Ira can go with you to the concert next year! it'll be so much fun to go with someone you're close to and also a huge fan ^^

jeannie: what Cyborg link doesn't work? :sweat: i don't want their voices to be dubbed either, but you know how Americans feel about reading subtitles =/ for it to be released in theaters, it has to be dubbed :oops: unless it'll only be showing in international film theaters.

karen: YSMM is a talk show. aigoo, you MUST watch them! some of us used to fangirl about it continuously because he was so cute and funny! here's (http://tv.sbs.co.kr/manman/) the link at soompi. her nickname "Ms. Orange" came from the 1st Rainy Day concert when she had a sexy dance with Bi. because she was wearing an orange shirt and we didn't know her name then so Bi'ers just call her that and the name just stayed :D oh, did you receive an email from JYPE a few days ago? i thought it was a confirmation that i got accepted to Joyplace. it turned out to be updates of the site :oops: i guess i'm accepted or i won't be getting a newsletter ^^; the new Bi gif is so cute! he usually wears NY caps, but he's been sporting the other one (Zoo York?) lately :-) he wore a NY cap in the I Do + With U perf on KBS Love Letter ^^

shine618: welcome :wave: you should watch the whole showcase! i believe some, if not all of the clips are uploaded to youtube already. stop by again if you feel like spazzing with us ^^

[gracecherry]

karen and jess onni > oops i forgot to say that she is one of the staff at the shop ~ hehee.i was caught offguard when she brough up rain, she isnt good at english,so she even cant pronounce RAIN properly.^^ its okies its just cute.

Teardrop says *Hi*~~

Jess onni >yes, it would be a dream come true if i can go with ppl i know and share the same passion!! ahhh~ i m just thinking of the day, like, me, u, karen, ira, Teardrop can see bi perform live???^^
ahh, the in my bed perf, hmm...was quite a new idea, with the acting-singing concept, ive seen some american aritistes did tat.and the with u perf was cuteeeee~ reminds me of instead of saying goodbye.:rolleyes: the outfit~~

Karen >aigooo, the YSMM is realllllly super interesting, i used to have the few epis that bi appeared in, but the cds has been corrupted, sooo sad, i lost them all now~~so are u gona DL the latest one tat oori bi appeared on????aigoo.i m looking for bi's cd too, but its not at the local stores yet? hmmm.me?? hmm, i think he looks good in both of those caps, i m not the type who wears cap, i do think some gurls look realy nice and sporty wearing caps, but i dont noe why i just dont wear it myself, mayb i shud try one day.eheh.ira, she plans to come here when bi comes....ehehe....but nothing is certain yet though~

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: nvm, the link works now. O_O yeah, i wish he debuted as an artist first. because if that movie doesn't turn out well, his career in the U.S. will be quite rocky. >.<

i never really went to an international theater before, so i have no idea. >.<

panda_shine: i'm not familiar with the zoo york one :sweat: but he wears the NY one quite often

[panda_shine]

shine618: Hi! :wave: I am delighted to hear that you like his new look too! Please drop by often :happy:

Jessica: I was reading the translation and I love the songs even more now. I can't wait until the Korean ones come out so I can try to sing along^^;
I watched the Love Letter performance too and I really liked it! At first, I wasn't planning on d/l-ing the "With You" performance, but I am so glad I did because he was really cheerful! I loved the part when he had the peace sign and was just smiling away.. :angel: I think this is the best "With You" performance ^^;
Is the YSMM talk show out for d/l yet? because I don't think I saw it at Sexy-Bi. I came across one but it said it was like a clip of his previous works? *confuse*
I got the JYPE email too! I was a bit excited when I saw it too.. only to find it's an update :D Btw, did you see a banner on Joyplace that says something "What do you think of the 4th album?" If not, you should click on it and post^^;

Jessica/Grace: About the cap, the other day I was so close to buying the NY one but decided to go home and double check first lol.. and then I realized he wore the Zoo York one more.. but then, I saw him wearing the NY one again in the recent clips *hmm*
I was browsing at Sexy-Bi and saw the old screen caps of him when he first appeared on YSMM (around Sangdoo time).. and they said he barely spoke in the show? lol. Is it true??

Grace: Now you have someone whom you can talk to about Bi with at work? hehe^^;
About Bi's cd.. I am not sure but Rach said she haven't seen it in Sgp yet either :oops:

Jeannie: Oh, I think international film festival only happens a certain time of the year. I think my city holds one around this time of the year. This (http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9947/107showcaseafterpartysr8.jpg) is the Zoo York hat^^;

[sweep]

shine618: Hello. Welcome.

Jessica, my bad about Love letter. I just remember Love letter with Shinhwa in it. I didn't know that there was a love letter with just performances in it.

Cyborg dubbed in english? when they show jet li movies (fearless) did they dub it? Oh, no! And we're used to hearing Rain's voice and subtitles! hehe

I forgot to answer your earlier post about SBS. I was not sure if it was inkigayo last sunday but I didn't see Rain perform. The hosts were Andy of Shinwha and another girl. DBSK did not perform there either. It was just SS501 and park Jung Ah and others. Maybe it was not Inkigayo or the SBS there was delayed. *shrug*

rachelle, i didn't notice the misbehavior of the dancers! rain seemed to be into his performance, not fazed by the dancers silly antics. You could really see how close they really are.

Ohhh... YSMM. I'm interested in what Rain will say next. Compared to his old YSMM guestings... he might be saying 'deep' things again.

[xanimeotakux]

i wanted to sleep, but i began jcnet browsing, and well. i'm wide awake now. :glug:

panda_shine: oh, that's the hat! well, he usually wears a black or white hat, so at least you don't have to decide the colors :D

has anyone got their ordered cd yet? i ordered mine the day it came out, but it's still not here. i'm so impatient. :cry: i'm giving it 7 business days to come, which is until the 25th >.<

[jessica]

did anyone watch the MBC Music Core perf yesterday? he seemed tired and not as energetic as before =( the performance on Channel V was better. i'll update all the links in the DL thread ^^ apparently there is a longer intro to In My Bed. i'll let you girls find out for yourself :brows: :whistle:

grace: do you like that singing and acting performance? it's almost like a musical, as he puts it. hehe~ the effects came out so well. you girls who are going to this concert have the chance to see all this and more! i read that there are some copyright issues with the CD being distributed in M'sia (and SG) so i guess you'll have to wait longer, if you don't plan to order it from Yesasia ^^;

jeannie: i haven't been in an international theater before either, but i know that those films aren't dubbed. if it releases to theaters nationwide, it might be :oops: hmm. it'll be a long time before he debuts here. recent news reported that it'll be October 2007, when he releases his 5th album. we'll see how Koreans are accepted when some of them debut here at the beginning of next year :sweat:
i was told that Yesasia orders take a long time to process. you might have to wait for more than a week ^^;

karen: that With U perf is my favorite so far because he seemed so happy and there were many close-ups of his face, keke :love: i noticed that one of the dancers on our left pushed the female dancer again :D
the YSMM show will air on Oct 23rd, so it should be available to DL on that day ^^ you haven't watched any before?! =O there are some hard subbed episodes at sexybi and also posted on that thread i posted before. you MUST watch them! he didn't speak much in the first YSMM. he introduced himself at the beginning and didn't join in the discussion until the middle of the show. then Kim Sun Ah kept interrupting him when he tries to speak :D it's funny to see Kim Jae Dong at his rescue all the time. i wish he's still on that show =( you can skip ep 40 - 41 (his first time on) because he didn't speak much, but you must watch the one with KSW and MC Mong, and ep 84 - 85! i think you can find these at youtube if you don't want to DL ^^
i haven't really been visiting Joyplace these few days ^^; i'll go take a look at the banner and the fan's reviews soon ^^ did you reply? oh, he started wearing the Zoo York cap during Rainy Day in NY, but he's been wearing NY caps since...back then :love:

sandy: the Love Letter that Shinhwa was on was a game show from SBS. the one from KBS is a music program. there are usually 2 or 3 guests on and they perform and get interviewed by the host ^^ i didn't watch Jet Li's Fearless here :sweat: it probably was dubbed because Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was ><; yes, Andy hosts SBS Inkigayo! hmm. the one you watch is probably an older episode. you might see the new ones soon ^^ when i used to have a korean channel the shows are delayed too, by about 1 - 1.5 months.

[ker_ai_teresa]

AFGFAR&%#&$%#$%@!!!!!!!!!!

omg, I have to spazz about 4th jib! :roll:

okay so I've spun the tracks about so many times and love what I'm hearing!
omg, can anything sound better than In My Bed, Not a Single Day and Cassiopeia??? :love:

btw, are the translated lyrics for Him and Me out yet? I love the melody but the title is a little strange....:glug:

[xanimeotakux]

ker_ai_teresa: omg, does that mean you got his cd already? =D or did you just download it? :D

jessica: oh. =.= well, i ordered mine on the 16th, and they shipped it on the 17th. :? but AHHH, I WANT IT SO BAD! :cry: they're making rain's fans wait so long! >.<

Cassiopeia's is a great song, but what the hell does the title mean? O_O

[ker_ai_teresa]

yep I got the album last week when I was in seoul. ^^
it's heaps cheaper than getting it back home or on yesasia.

Cassiopeia's is a great song, but what the hell does the title mean? O_O

it's actually a name for a constellation. such a pretty name...and I just read that it's apparently the name of DBSK's fan club? :glug:

[panda_shine]

I listened to Eternal Rain like 3-ish times today lol.. in the car while driving to/back from school. I quite like "Feels So Right" now.. and I think my least favorite ones from that album is "Baby Baby" and "I Am Getting Hotter" ^^;

Jeannie: Yeah, lol.. I think I am going for the black one ^^; but still deciding on which brand :sweat:
Last time I ordered from Yesasia, it took 1 week and a half.. :tongue:

Jessica: I watched the MBC Music Core perf. and I am glad I wasn't the one thinking that he was tired too! I was thinking the exact same thing while watching it.. since he seemed less energetic :worry:
I noticed the accident again too~ lol. I wonder if it's like a "must do" thing for the song, "With U" lol
At first I thought I missed the YSMM ^^; Can't wait for it to come out with subs! :-) I went to Youtube to catch old episodes.. and I know which show it is now but I think I've only seen one episode^^; I watched another one yesterday since it was so addicting! I told myself I'll watch one part but ended up watching all the parts :shifty: It was the one you mentioned with KSW. Bi sounds like a pro when they were talking about how to cheat lol :whistle: .. but that episode was hilarious!
Yup, I replied at JP regarding his album saying I like the all the songs :rolleyes:

Teresa: I really like "Him and Me" too!
The cd was a lot cheaper than Yesasia? Wow.. and I thought YS was cheap already!

Jeannie/Teresa: I love the song Cassiopeia too.. but I don't think it's relevant to DBSK's fan club lol~ Did you guys read the translations of the song? It's quite sweet! :angel:

[jessica]

TES!!! :hugz: you finally posted in the new thread :tongue:

watching the performance for In My Bed is even better :love: oh, oh! and you'll love his With U perf if you like his cheeky side. he was soooo cute in all of them, esp. in KBS Love Letter! :cloud9: there are some translations already --> clickie (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1065) (2 new translation added today)

karen: YSMM aired already! Rxgoodleaf said that she'll be translating! :bounce: i think his dancers will do random silly things when they're performing With U :laughing: hehe, i knew you'd get addicted to YSMM. did you watch ep 84 - 85 too? you cannot miss those! i'd suggest that you watch it alone because you'll be bursting out in laughter throughout the show ^^;

his album is selling pretty well :-)

[xanimeotakux]

OMGOMGOMGOMG. I FINALLY GOT THE ALBUM! =D

i won't post the pics, since ker_ai_teresa already did! XD

but it's not like..a normal cd size. no plastic. all cardboard? and it's a bit longer. and there's this little pocket thing to fit the lyrics book in. XD and they include a small pic of rain advertising for giordano =) and you know that circle thing that needs to press down so you can get the cd? well, it's styrofoam(sp?) this time XD i guess this time, the cd is to save resources, haha

currently listening to in my bed =)

ker_ai_teresa: wow, it's a constellation? never knew. -___- last time i reviewed my constellations was abjout 4 years ago XD but wow, i never knew it was the name of dbsg's fan club. o.O

panda_shine: nope. haven't read any lyrics for ANY of his newest songs yet XD

omg, rain's #9 on the chart >.<

[rachelle03]

Karen: I'll wait patiently for the album. Wanna boost the local sales, so that they'll bring in his album the next time too. :D A joke that day when I was passing by a cd shop and I thought I heard Friends. I quickly went in, listening to it and still looking for the album. Then I realised I mistook Props of my life for Friends. :D

btw, are the translated lyrics for Him and Me out yet? I love the melody but the title is a little strange....
:D
It's not about gay couple, tes. I read the translated lyrics and it's about comparing his ex's gf's new boyfriend and him.

grace: I've read from our local papers that he's holding concert on both 27th jan and April, isit? And the price is RM888? It's like omg, half of what is ours?! I REALLY might go KL. :wink2: Do keep me informed, okay?

jess: YSMM translating in process?! Yeah~!!! I always like to hear him talking about his love theory. He's so innocently loved. :love:

[SAMSUNGmobile]

his duet with lim jeong hee in his latest album rocks man

[dawnyee]

xanimeotakux how was the CD? I havent get my hands on the CD yet. Im still thinking as to get it from yesasia or to get it from our local stores. Like what rachelle03 said..to boost local sales. But it aint out here yet and the quality is always lower. :dry:

rachelle03 are you serious bout the KL concert prices being around RM888??

SAMSUNGmobile yea.. the duet with Lim Jeong Hee was great but I still prefer the one with Byul.

[ker_ai_teresa]

Teresa: I really like "Him and Me" too!
The cd was a lot cheaper than Yesasia? Wow.. and I thought YS was cheap already!
I love the song Cassiopeia too.. but I don't think it's relevant to DBSK's fan club

yeah I got in seoul for about $17AUD and that's about $12.75USD. ^^
and about cassiopeia, the constellation is made up of 5 stars, and DBSK having 5 members....:rolleyes: it's a pretty name nonetheless...for a pretty boy band? lol

Jess--> I'm just glad Rain's World is so much better than Eternal Rain. I was a bit dubious about the quality, but after listening to it so many times, I totally love it! the songs are beautiful, yes even Touch Ya. :rolleyes: I find it funny. :laughing: *sings* I said lemme, lemme, lemme touch ya!

and yes, I love his With U choreography! you know I prefer his cute side. :blush: although I do wonder....why orange? it makes me think of Shinhwa. :happy:

btw, there isn't an MV for In My Bed yet is there? coz I'd love to see how they bring out the story. The melody is so gorgeous! too bad it's a sad song.

oh and I read about the outrageous concert ticket prices for the singapore tour. :wacko:

xanimeotakux--> don't you just love the album packaging? *giggles*
I can't believe you even went and described the styrofoam circle! :laughing: but I have to say, it was a good idea. I hate the conventional plastic ring coz everytime I go to take the CD out, it holds on so tight I'm afraid the CD would just snap in half if I force it too much. ><;;

[rachelle03]

Whenever you all watched In My Bed performance, have you all wondered how the couple/models managed to stay there in that non-comfortable position for a full 3-4min?! :? They are so mannequin-ed.

dawnyee: I saw it on the yesterday's local SG chinese papers, ie. wanbao. I got a shock too. Now I'm just wondering how much the local organiser had milked out of us. :dry:

and yes, I love his With U choreography! you know I prefer his cute side. although I do wonder....why orange? it makes me think of Shinhwa.

Oh, he does have a few versions from his wardrobe. So far, we've seen red, blue, white and orange (the least fav. :D) Now the white one really reminds me of the Marshmallow man. lmao.

off topic: Speaking of Shinhwa, I've been engrossed in their appearance clips in Xman. They are so fun-loving funny! :D And I just done watching their Happy Together clip on youtube. Equally funny. I like the way how they are so natural and know each other so well.

[xanimeotakux]

ker_ai_teresa: haha, i was so happy, i even wanted to describe the styrofoam circle! :D really? i like the usual cd cases. yeah, sometimes, i'm afraid it'd snap, but it has never happened to me before..yet! so i'm not worried :tongue:

dawnyee: i really like the cd! ^_^ the genre hasn't changed too much, except for 'i'm coming' and a few others. boost local album sales? the closest place to buy an asian cd is about 30 min. away, and i think she orders it from yesasia, so why not just buy it from yesasia? for a cheaper price? lol

i finally ripped the whole cd onto my zen. hehe

[jessica]

translations for 2 of the radio shows are out!

10/16 SBS PowerFM Radio Show (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1098) < this one is so funny! i didn't read through it yet. i'm still timing, but it's really difficult >< i'll see if i can get someone to edit or i won't be "officially" releasing the sub :sweat:
(Oct 17, 2006) KBS FM2 Interview (Pt 1) (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=1099)

jeannie: yay! the CD must be very light? i'd rather have it in cardboard so it won't crack and i hate those plastic "prongs" that holds the disc :oops: like Tes, there are some discs that are really tightly fitted so each time i take them out i have to be extra careful.

rach: for YSMM, he talked about that time when he was in HK after the concert. they had a party and some of the dancers were swimming naked in a pool :sweat: i don't think he was part of it because he suspects someone is watching. i'll have to watch it later and see if i can understand some bits and pieces, keke. Kim Sarang was also one of the guest!

Now the white one really reminds me of the Marshmallow man. lmao.
:lolabove: i'd like to take a bit out of him =x

nothing beats Shinhwa's brotherly love <333


tes: i actually liked Eternal Rain more when i first listened to Rain's World. now, i probably like both about the same. did you watch most/all of the performances yet? if you love his cute side, you must watch all of his With U perf, esp. from KBS Love Letter! if you don't want to DL the full perf i can maybe find you a cut ^^ he talked about how hard it was for him, a 25 year old man, to act cute in that SBS radio show :laughing:
there's no MV for In My Bed (yet?), but you can watch a longer version of here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPJHYIkMkrY) :brows:

[gracecherry]

karen > ahh~ i m finally back...after the deepa-raya hols. and still have final things to finalize, for my uni, my korean oral test is coming mon, and it is also the deadline to submit my lit review.gona reply ur email sooon~~

jess onni > i really like most of the songs from his album, i particularly love cassiopeia. hmm, i gues i wouldnt want to buy from yesasia,ehehe, *to boost local sales* but i dont mind waiting since ive got the songs to listen to.haha~~
yes, the with in my bed perf is very like a musical. and i really like the way he sings in this song.particularly...the chorus, there is this real feeling of 'i dont wana let u go~' if u get wat i mean? ehehe.i love to listen to it loudly on my ipod...its like, live singing inside my ears.so heavenly. as for with u....i would prefer him wearing those jackets in white? hahahah, definitely he would look like a large marsmallow man!

rach onni > ommo, i havent heard anything bout the msia concert prices,but???? are u sure u saw RM888?? thats simply unbeliveable!! aigooo, i really hope the prices arent around this range.>< but, yes if there are lower range and if u really come, i m sureeee we will go together. it would be so great.and yes, if i heard anything i will keep u notified~~ oh btw,i was having the same doubt! the couple during the with u perf, they looked so real i had no doubt that they were real ppl sitting on the bed, but then....when i saw them being soooo static, i took some time to ponder and decided that they are...manequins? ^^ are they?

[ker_ai_teresa]

off topic: Speaking of Shinhwa, I've been engrossed in their appearance clips in Xman. They are so fun-loving funny! :D And I just done watching their Happy Together clip on youtube. Equally funny. I like the way how they are so natural and know each other so well.

have you seen their LoveLetter appearances? nobody beats Shinhwa when it comes to being cute and adorkable. :D

jess--> yeah is there a cut for the KBS loveletter perf? all his clips thus far have been HQ and it's becoming taxing on my HD space. :sweat:

btw, do you know whether anybody's subbing YSMM?

oh, on the subject of his dancers....which clip was it now? anyway, there was this female dancer molesting his naked chest during rehearsal. ><;;
his dancers are seriously full on...and now I learn that they were swimming naked.

he needs new dancers me thinks. :whistle:

[xanimeotakux]

shinhwa?! :excited: has anyone watched the interview at their house? XD when they used to live together? it's so funny XD

jessica: lol, yep, it's super light. haha, yeah, it's easier to take out the cd, but i can't help but think that it looks so cheap.. :sweat:

*sigh* rain's LV concert is drawing nearer....

[panda_shine]

I really like the Music Bank performances.. and I think the white outfit for "With You" is so much better than the other colors too :happy: I find the orange too bright.. the red a bit weird? .. and the blue is a bit plain lol :sweat:

For the YSMM...I managed to catch the first couple minutes of it since someone uploaded it via Daum on Joyplace.. but I think I'll wait until it's subbed before downloading .. so I can fully enjoy it ^^; I feel a bit 'left out' when they start laughing .. and I have no idea what's going on ^^;
And I didn't know his dancers actually went swimming naked?!! Only the male ones right? :? I am quite relieved he didn't do it :sweat:

I keep forgetting to ask but it seems like in the recent clips.. i don't see his non-Asian dancers anymore?? Does he only use them for the concerts or..??

Jessica: I didn't watch episode 84-85... but I will try to watch if once I come across it ^^; How many times did appear on YSMM before?
Earlier, I watched a YSMM with 3 of DBSK members and Kangta ^^; I am officially addicted lol!

Rach: I find "Props In My Life" a bit similar to "Friends" too.. similar concepts I guess ^^;

Rach/Grace: hmm I always thought the couple for "In My Bed" was real? I don't know but everytime I see them.. I kind of feel bad that they have to sit still for so long :D

Jeannie: Yay, you got your cd! I can't wait till mine..><;

teresa: I think Jessica said someone is subbing for YSMM ^^; I am eagerly waiting too :sweat:
I think the clip with his dancers rubbing him is this: MBC Section TV (Interview at Backstage) It looks quite funny :whistle:

[rachelle03]

I keep forgetting to ask but it seems like in the recent clips.. i don't see his non-Asian dancers anymore?? Does he only use them for the concerts or..??
I guessed so. Perhaps they need more dancers to boost the big stage. ^^"

jess: Kim Sarang is there too? Ooh, that'll be interesting. Everytime I saw her name, it reminds me of a joke she said it herself regarding IJUKSA's title. I Jukil Nomui Sarang = This Love (Sarang) I want to Kill. :D So he doesn know of the naked swimming thing?! I thought it's just a tabloid by HK papers. lol. You wanna take bit? Which part? The layered abs or layered biceps? :D

grace: There's no news over there yet? Ommo. It's a news article released by local chinese papers. Saying the highest price is RM888 and the lowest is SGD68. Although it's still expensive, it still doesnt beat SGD 888's. :sweat:

Grace/Karen: Me too! I feel so bad for the couple (lol) and I must say the position is not very comfortable, the girl is not totally leaning onto the guy and the guy had to held her like that. Plus the girl had to had that sad lonely expression on.

tes: I'm just done with the Happy Together watching. They are so funny, esp their signature pose/introduction. :D Eric and Andy are so serious with their posing. Also done with YSMM. Now I'm going to watch Love Letter. There's quite a few episodes, isnt it? Hyesung's crab dance orginated there isit? I'm so happy watching their variety programmes but I have yet to start listen to their albums. :sweat:

[jessica]

grace: yes, he showed a lot of emotions singing In My Bed and that's one of the attractions of the performance. i was blown away with his vocals. all that practice really improved his range <3 he wears the white bubble jacket in the KBS Music Bank and MTV Live Wow perf so look out for those =D once you watch that perf, you'll be on cloud nine for the whole day :love:

tes: yes, someone will be subbing YSMM ^^ she's working alone so it might take some time before it releases. lol. his female dancers have been feeling him up since 3rd jib :oops: he has strong bonds with his dancers so they just fool around like that :D did you see him molesting one of his dancers too? XD i think they were swimming naked because they lost a bet or something ^^; i love his current dancers! i saw them many times when he came here for a concert. they all seem nice, except one guy who was kind of quiet and by himself.
here's the KBS Love Letter With U perf (right click, save-as) --> :cloud9: (http://libra69.web.infoseek.co.jp/061020_yoonloveletter_with_u.wmv)

jeannie: i've seen one clip where they were interviewed in their home. i think there's a few, hehe.

karen: i just laugh along with them sometimes because their expressions are funny :sweat: i haven't watched it yet either, and it's taking up so much space in my HD >< i think he only uses his American dancers for the World Tour ^^
he was on 5 YSMM episodes altogether, excluding the recent one. the first appearance was ep 40 - 41, then it was the one with KSW, and my favorite which is ep 84 - 85. i've watched the DBSK YSMM too, but only a few cuts i found at youtube.

rach: i didn't know she was one of the guest until i watched the first 5 minutes of the show. i really want to know the story behind the naked swimming :whistle:
hehe. i don't want to leave a mark on his sexy body. i'll just nibble on his pillowy lips :angel:

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: have you seen the one with that hilarious bathroom scene? if not, i can give you the link, hehe

panda_shine: you'll get it soon! =D and i think you'll enjoy it immensely :happy:

any new news on our love? i'm guessing he's in the middle of filming for his movie. wow, movie and concerts. what a busy person :oops:

[jessica]

jeannie: i think that's one of them i saw. Dongwannie was the one guiding the cameraman into their house, right? :D

he went to Japan (yesterday) for the PAX Musica concert. the news clip will probably be uploaded at youtube soon, or you can look for it at bummies clubbox ^^

Rain to Meet with U.N. Secretary General-elect Ban Ki-moon

Pan-Asian star Rain will hold a meeting with the 8th U.N. Secretary-General-elect Ban Ki-moon on October 28 in North Chungcheong Province at an event congratulating Ban for his election.

Before performing in a congratulatory concert, the singer will meet with Ban for about 20 minutes so the two can thank and congratulate each other on their respective achievements in raising Korea's status in the international community.

Rain, whose fourth album sends a message of world peace, said he will be honored to meet with Ban, whose new post will endow him with the ability to realize the goal of attaining world peace.

On October 29, Park Jin-young, who is Rain's producer and the CEO of his agency, will represent Asia at the U.N. Youth Leadership Summit in New York.

The meeting between Rain, who in February was selected by the U.S. magazine Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and Ban, who won a unanimous vote to take the post of U.N. secretary general, will represent a ray of hope for Korea's future.

Organized by Gyohyeon Elementary School, Chungju Secondary School and Chungju High School, Ban's alma maters, and the Chungju municipal government, the event will be attended by some 10,000 Chungjju residents and heads of local government offices. The congratulatory concert will be broadcast live by local cable broadcaster HCN. The pre-recorded version of the concert will go on the air in China, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.

[ker_ai_teresa]

he showed a lot of emotions singing In My Bed and that's one of the attractions of the performance
I must agree with that. it's like, he's not just singing the song but acting it out too. which is a lot more interesting than just standing there and singing it. has a lot more impact. although, as someone mentioned earlier...I kinda feel sorry for that guy and girl sitting like statues for the duration of the song. :sweat:

did you see him molesting one of his dancers too?

omg, I'm glad I didn't see that. :sweat:

thanx for the clippie. :hugz:

hmm...I feel as though I must say something about his current hairstyle. I like how it looked in the I'm Coming MV...a little gelled. The flat look he usually sports at these live perfs make him look weird. 0_o
am I just being picky?

They are so funny, esp their signature pose/introduction. Eric and Andy are so serious with their posing
:laughing: that reminds me of a clip where Eric reprimands Jinnie for being boring with his intro of himself, so Jinnie has to re-do it to make it more interesting. then when it came to his part he does it the serious way himself. :rolleyes: that's Eric for ya. he's always inciting mischief. :D

yes, there's quite a few shinhwa loveletter eps, but they're all so enjoyable to watch. the essence of Shinhwa is really their relationship with one another, the way they egg each other on and joke around in public. so I'd say, forget the music side for now and get to know them as individuals and as a group first by watching these variety shows. ^.^ it's really interesting to see the different personalities.

[gracecherry]

jess onni > wow,ive heard bout the UNSG and i belive it must hav been quite an accomplisment for him to be voted , and now that he is meeting with oori bi.awww~ that would be realy good. yes..i will be looking out for those perfs....i would be watching them, i gues, after my finals~ and i cant belive i m so outdated now, coz i dont even noe how is the dance for i m coming~ but only catch up with all the verbal updates here...but no worries...i would need to spazz wif u after i watch all those perfs.~~

rachelle onni > ommmo, i have to say the prices are realy outrageous, i cant realy accept myr 888 whatsmore sgd 888.....but~ if the lowest price for KL is SGD68 too ,that would be fine for me.i m preparing to only get the lowest, if i cant afford his mid range tics>< , yes lets keep each other updated k...^^

karen, rachelle > ahh~ u guys stil think that the couple are real ppl??? it tooook me alot of thinking and observation, to decide, that they are high quality wax manequins~~~ haha.

jeannie > movie? what movie??? theres another one besides cyborg?

[xiaohei88]

Big News....i think.. for singaporeans bi-ers..



I was updated by RainSingapore and..there will be no more SGD888 or SGD688.. and now the highest price is SGD488.. im not sure if its a good thing cause it still cost a bomb....sigh..

[ker_ai_teresa]

I was just reading this on Chosun:


Rain Storms Coming to Las Vegas This Christmas
K-pop superstar Rain hopes to take Las Vegas by storm this Christmas season. He will be appearing at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace as part of his quest to make inroads into the North American market.

The decision to stage the concert at the 3,800-seat venue is understood to have been made at Rain’s insistence. Of the many places that U.S. entertainment firms offered to the artist, it was where both Celine Dion and Elton John played that Rain thought he should kick things off.

After the opener in Vegas, Rain’s world tour will span 35 performances. This time the artist has taken on some of the world’s top concert producing talent for this make-or-break tour, including stage director Jaime King, lighting specialist Roy Bennett, and visual director Dago Gonzalez. Online reservations at Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com) have already begun. Seats range from US$98-$260.

To get his blood pumping for his assault on the U.S. mainland, Rain will warm up to the always-affectionate home crowd with a serious of concerts Dec.15, 16 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.

I'm feeling a bit pissed off regarding his ticket prices of concert in SG. His seoul concert is only 176000 won which is about SGD$210. Why isit that ours are so high?! As compared to US too. Gah!

fizah: Sistic has come out with the tickets and seatings for SG concert (http://www.sistic.com.sg/cms/events/index.html?content=592). Still!!! It's so expensive. :oops: For Cloud members, you have to go to JYPE website, i think.

For those who are interested in SG concert, here's the official ticketing website: http://www.sistic.com.sg/cms/events/index.html?content=592
Public ticket sales goes on 11th Nov.

tes: Yah!!! Eric's always acting seriously but actually he's very mischevious. Esp when Dongwan says bout him hiding under the comp table to scare him. :D But I like Hyesung! He's such a cute dork and I like guys with a good voice. :love: Yah, I'm loving them in the variety shows now. You know they wont have hard feelings even if they often make fun of each other, even their names. I finished watching one epi of Loveletter with Han Ji Hye. The part where Eric, Min Woo and Andy do the "Jung! Pil! Gyo Gyo Gyo Gyo!" cheer :laughing: Why doesnt Hyesung like his original name? :D

jess: Ommo! pillowy lips make me wanna have a bite too! I think I wanna take a pinch at the butt. :blush:

grace: The tickets for his concert in SG is out... There's no change to the price!!! :depresse:

Hello, evelyn! oh, kaka! He's indeed a hottie. ^^ But not as hot as oori Ji Hunnie. :tongue:

[xanimeotakux]

the tickets really are crazy. compared to wong lee hom's concert tickets at singapore(the lowest was $28!), these tickets are just...the kind of "hair pulling" tickets. :cry:

jessica: haha, yeah! i think it was that video! XD the bathroom scene was hilarious. 3 guys in there at the same time, LOL. wow. that's a tremendous honor for rain to meet the soon to be new U.N. secretary! WOW! CONGRATS TO BOTH! =D

Geez, I thought I'm the only bad fan here. ah i haven't joined oppa' cloud yet so i'm a bad fan as well!! only jking i'm sure if we just continue to support him and his work i'm sure that'll be enough. ya you're going to rain's concert??!?!?!?! where are you again? is it Singapore or was is malysia? or have i got it completely wrong?? ya you must report back to us if u are going!!

jess: hello! it was really nice to talk to u on msn, even though i did most of the tlking :shy: thx for listening/reading!! lol so how is the show case??? i'm not at home at th moment so can't dl it yet :cry: aigoo there's sooo many clips i wanna dl!!!! but at las lack of hd space aigoo i just listened to his 4th album.. to tell you the truth i'm a little disappointed i mean the songs are ok but there were none that was made me like OMG i love this song. i think touch ya and i'm coming are my fav but nothing like the effect of st or it's raining. but i'm sure that as i listen to it it more it'll grow on me but hmm.... i think the best track was the 1st one even though it was just the intro i really like the beat! lol but i'm really looking forward to his dancing and what new chorography he's got! you say that he's done a lot of remixes of the old songs?? are they like how bad guy's remixed??? or is it more techo kind beats?? bc i heard the remix of nan garage mix and i don't like it! :oops: ah i'm so happy that he'll be touring more cities apart from las vagas! it's the best way to get his name out there in the states, when did you say he'll be touring?? will it be at xmas??? he'll be on YSMM again!!! yea i was in the soompi ysmm thread and omg!!!! :excited: :shock: so shocked and happy that i saw his pic there!!!!! wha they really are going all out a few weeks ago they had kangta and the dbsk boys and now oppa!!!!! ah i can't wait till the subs come out for that eppy!!!! it's always so funny when he's on!

grace: hi hunny!! :hugz: o feel free to txt me any time honestly bc no matter what i'm always sleeping and also i'm a heavy sleeper so can't hear anything except for my alarm.... although i only wake up like 15mins AFTER it's been going off aigoo!!! but thx for the txt about the angel and the hammer it was sooo sweet! i miss you lots and lots!!! :hugz: so u like oppa's new look??? i agree his body seems a lot toner but i'm not liking the hair so much or lack of it :oops: but i'm sure it'll grow on me, btw thx for passing on ma message :happy: btw what's ur fav song of his from his 4th jib??? from the looks of everything every 1 likes in my bed but i'm like hmm.... it's ok but i'm not playing it on repeat, hmm... mayb it's bc i like his fast songs more

this is just random but just saw the pic of him the other day and OMGWARD!!!!!!! OMGWARD!!!!!! his HAIR!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: i know every1 has seen it but it was like a 1st for me and i'm used to his long hair and to see that there's just not that much anymore i'm like OMGWARD!!!! lol ok that's enough bout the pics

dawnyee: ah yes fh i love that's drama!!! what do you think of sd??? i like it but not as much as his other dramas i think he other dramas esp a love to kill really brought out his acting skill. but you just HAVE to watch A Love to Kill it's such a fantastically well performed drama, although be sure to have lots and lots of tissues bc this really will pull on ur heart strings! it's such a good mello drama that most of us here find it hard to rewatch, although it is geting near winter and it's setting the mood so i might watch it again.

karen: aigoo aigoo i just read what you wrote bout his showcase i'm really interested now!!! what stars??? i only saw the pic in the pic thread where he has wings i thought that was really beautiful and also really cleaver and well placed!!! also saw the "I'm Coming" preview! Thank God it's not as nude as I was thinking LOL^^^ EH??!?!?!?!!??!?!??! NUDE??!?!?!?!?!! WHAT?!??!?!!?!!? :excited: lol hmmm...... so what's this all about??? :rolleyes: is it oppa??? or is it girls??? yea i get everything from yesaisa, my sis actualy told me about it and it's great!! lol yea i bought the e.r album and i gave a copy to my sis-in-law i don't think she's listened to it but she was happy when i was like here's a belated b'day present lol yea i some time think that up in the club is korean to i think like you said as it came out round the same time as the bmw movie that's why it's confusing. o i was listening to r.w and i didn't realise that he had done a korean version of move on so i was thinking wha r.w finished already???? did mess up the song order???? and when i started mimining along i was like hey wait a minuet :dunce: lol and i still mimined along in "japanese"

sandy:annyong! glad that you're warming up to bi agian! your aunt has the sbs channel?!?!?!?!? i used to have kbs but the thing was it was sooo annoying bc it would only show for like a few hrs and then it would cut at around 2pm which was annoying bc i was watching sorry i love you and they would just cut right in the middle!!! :bang: :ranting: but it's cool now i've got airang which is good bc it's got subs and it's all in english!!

jenna: hi hi! but no, my parents are too overprotected. i just hope that when i have some INDEPENDENCE, rain would still be a huge hit and maybe even perform somewhere NEARER..awww why don't you drag one of your parents along??? (preferably your mum) and make them bi-ified! that way i'm sure if she likes him (either as an artist or hmmm.... other aspect of him :rolleyes: :tongue: ) i'm sure she'll be a bit more lineate to you going, if not i'm sure you'll get a chance later on, i'm certain that he will still be huge!!! i mean he's just starting to crack America now just wait till a few years past can u imaging how big he'll be?!?!?

Rain, got into University for fear he will not be permitted to release his album

Revealed: Rain's entry into University:

Director Jeong of JYPE was at Pusan in the afternoon of the 15th, giving a talk on " Related matters in the star-grooming system--How to groom a star". There, he mentioned how Bi managed to gain entry into the University.

In response to an audience's question, "What should I do to become an artiste?", Director Jeong replied, "You need to know what you want, watch and learn a lot." At the same time, he revealed the following on Bi.

He said, "The company's representative, Park Jinyoung (singer) implemented a policy. "Trainees who cannot gain entry into a university will be denied of releasing an album." Bi, who was still a trainee then was worried about not being able to release his album, so he studied painstakingly and got into the university."

"It is a fact that Bi gave up music during the period of his entrance exams and concentrated on studying", "In order perform on the stage as a singer, Bi studied hard to gain entry into the post-modern course in Kyunghee University and successfully graduated."

Director Jeong says, "Many people assumed Bi got a place in the university as a special-entry student. But that is not the truth. He studied very hard and was accepted through participation in the entrance exams."

In addition, during the seminar, Director Jeong also mentioned issues such as JYPE's artiste-grooming system, and Bi's successful showcase.

In recent, Rain visited a fan who was diagnosed as cancer patient, so this fan enjoyed a wonderful mid-autumn festival~

A gentleman wrote an article about his wife who was diagnosed stomach cancer (last phase). His wife likes Rain and became his fanclub member. After she gave birth to their first child last month, she complained about sharp pain in the stomach, as well as breathing problem. Through the diagnose, she was informed about her cancer 4 days after her delivery.

His wife watched all the dramas starred by Rain, and recorded all the programmes that Rain participated. In addition, she even joined fans meeting for Rain's birthday without telling her husband.

This gentleman wrote in his message, "Like what my wife did to encourage Jihun, I hope he can encourage her as well..." He requested, "I hope you can write her a letter to cheer her up."

After reading the article, Rain immediately found the hospital. At the last day of mid-autumn long holiday, without any prior notice, his wife was woke up by Rain's visit. She was overwhelmed by joy and excitement seeing her idol holding a fruit basket, standing beside her bed. Rain stayed in the hospital for about an hour to console and encourage the fan, and advised her to be positive in life and future.

rach unnie thanks.. i went to RainSingapore to check it out.. Clouds members are able to choose to buy the SGD314 or the SGD 235.. the allocated seats are only meant for the Clouds which are 200 of us.. 109 are Singaporeans but the remaining 91 are for the foreign ones.. The seats are much much closer than the ones who are paying SGd490.... Nearer to the stage

now im not worrying about the seats to be taken up.. well only the SGD314 one cause its super close to the stage.. but.... im just worried that JYPE wants to collect the payment soon.. i was hoping that latest by end of december.. all i could do now is hope and pray...

[jessica]

tes: you should know by now that he doesn't just stand there and sing, unless it's a ballad :laughing: did you like the KBS LL With U perf?!! :excited:

his hair isn't really that flat. it is gelled up a bit in other music shows, but not as high as during the MV =P maybe it's the bangs that make him look weird to you? :D

i hope he'll hold another concert in NYC again. i'm not too happy with the arrangement of that LV concert :dry:

grace: when is the end of your exams? don't worry, you're not the only one that's behind. Ira dongseng (and teardrop) will be joining you in catching up soon :-)
the UN elective and Bi met today! he finally wore a "normal" looking suit and tie :D i'll post the pics in the picture thread ^^ the prices for the SG concert dropped so it might happen to M'sia too. it's the orgainzers who jack up the prices and Bi is getting the blame for it :oops:

evelyn: welcome back :hugz: lol. my soccer craze subsided already. some players are hot, but i'm not too interested =x
i forgot if you're from M'sia or SG, but he'll hold a concert in both countries next year so stay tuned to your local news!

rach: his Seoul tickets are always cheaper ><; maybe because their income is lower? i was upset that we had to pay the most for his RD concert, but i understand why it was priced higher than his other concerts in Asia. i thought the price dropped from $888 to $488 ^^;

is Hyesung your favorite member? :excited: kekeke~ you must love Bi's With U performance then :brows:

jeannie: the prices went down already. these sound more reasonable now, but it still a lot for most fans. we have to consider all of the production costs and all that other stuff + the money-grubbing sponsors/organizers who take a chunk out of it :oops: oh, and a portion of it goes to donations :-)

teardrop: how long did it take you to type that up? :D it's okay. i don't mind reading about your interesting day <3 the showcase was fabulous! you'll drool over his new look and he sounded better than ever! you might like In My Bed more after you watch the performance :love: you need to delete some files/programs, burn something or move them to an external drive =P some clips are uploaded to youtube already so you might want to check them out. i didn't really like most of the songs from the new album after i listened to it the first time, except for the slower tracks. you'll grow to like it after watching him perform some of the songs ^^ i didn't like the Na garage remix either. the beats are annoying >< you'll find out how the old songs changed when you watch the showcase. i don't want to spoil the surprise. his World Tour starts on Dec 16 and 17 in Seoul, then he'll head to Las Vegas on the 23rd and 24th.

[rachelle03]

fizah: Whoa, the benefit for Cloud is indeed good now. Given the super discount off for Cloud SG members. You've gotta get the tickets, I mean, it's so good. I'm still thinking of going or not. >.<

hmm...I feel as though I must say something about his current hairstyle. I like how it looked in the I'm Coming MV...a little gelled. The flat look he usually sports at these live perfs make him look weird. 0_o
am I just being picky?
You're not picky 'cause I felt that way too. lol. During those performances, it's flat and there's a... straight line for his fringe. :sweat: It can looked like a bad haircut. >.<

teardrop: I'm from SG. ^^ But I still dont know if I'm going.

jess: The price are not lowered, just that the $888 and $688 tickets are not released to the public. And 100 tics each from the both pricing will go to the Cloud members at a lower price i.e. USD200 and USD150. (Which is a lot lower!) The rest of the tickets remained at the original prices and area of seating as well. :depresse: Ooh, I love With You spanking butt performance. :D The song always made me wanna do the dance and the hand signs at the end.
Hyesung sshi! He's a cute dork! So easily embarassed. :D

Gah~ I still can't make up my mind if I'm going for the SG concert!

[xanimeotakux]

jessica:donations..that's good! but those freaking money grubbers...do they think we're all millionares or something?! :profanit:

teardrop: lol, yeah, i was in shock when i first saw his hair. i'm slowly getting used to it, but i love his longer hair so so much more! >.<

why are the seoul concerts always so much cheaper? he even gave a free showcase at seoul. :dry: and the tickets are cheaper. T_T

[panda_shine]

I just watched the news clip of the PAX Musica clip! And I was wondering .. if all the other performers are Japanese? I thought I saw two Chinese artists (one Taiwanese, one HK) but I wasn't too positive^^; And what is this concert for? Oh and I liked it when he spoke Japanese :happy:

He was on another game show called Come and Play?? I saw the pictures about 2 days ago but didn't know what it was.. I can't wait for the subs to come out for it :tongue:

Jessica: About the old YSMM appearances with him.. I've only come across 2 or 3 :sweat:

Grace: I can't wait till you watch them soon^^ But now I think about it, I am worry it'll really distract you from studying lol.. :D

Grace/Rach: I am positive that the couple for "In My Bed" is not mannequin now lol.. I just saw a newsclip from SBS and they showed him going on stage before performing.. and the couple were like.. sitting normally lol. :sweat:

Jeannie: I think he's finish with filming Cyborg already :tongue:

teardrop: I am surprised that your fave song is "Touch Ya" because I think most of us don't like it that much ^^;
Oh, he had a star near like the top of his jaw line/behind the ear area.. you'll notice it if you watch the perf. for "I'm Coming" or.. maybe the screencaps will show^^;
lol.. the 'nude' is from the "I'm Coming" MV :shifty:


And *aww* the article about Bi visiting his fan who's sick! :angel:


I just went over to the picture thread and saw the pictures of him meeting with the UN.. I like suit too :angel:

[dawnyee]

Hola everyone! :wave:

panda_shine yea...so far, i have only watched 2 of his YSMM. U guys mean there is more?

Grace/Rach: I also agree with panda_shine, I believe those people are real. I mean, heck, I'll do it for free, man. :D

His song aren't as 'wow' as It's Raining album.. but believe me, it definitely grows on you. I didn't quite like I'm Coming initially, but lately, I'm hooked!

Luckily the taicket prices for the Singapore concert has dropped. Still expensive but at least it is not crazily expensive.

rachelle03 you should seriously go. I think you will not be dissapointed. I mean, we are talking bout oppa here. Never doubt his power. *hahahaha*

[ker_ai_teresa]

rach--> I'm glad you feel the same way about his hair. it just looks too straight across his forehead. ><;;

yeah I don't know why Sungie doesn't like his birth name...maybe it has something to do with the meaning. but nevertheless he shouldn't feel bad when people use it. his parents gave him the name after all. :sweat:
what I do know is that Jinnie's birth name alludes to something about 'worms'....

anyway, so how much would you be willing to pay to go to his concert?

panda_shine--> have you watched the YSMM eps he appeared in with Kwon Sang Woo and Han Ga In? it's on Youtube with subs. I found it an eye-opener into what he thinks about dating and such....:shifty:

[gracecherry]

jess onni > ommo, it was so nice chatting with u this morning!! ahhh~ those interviews r realy interesting, the things he said, aigooo....the baby wings?:D and the "pretending to be cute"???:rolleyes: *i dont noe what to say bout him* my exam overs on the 19th, yes ira dongseng shud be able to see his updates soon,coz she is goin home soon for a break~~~ i noe she missed home so much...aww~

teardrop > hi hi.....~ aww?so, RW didnt realy leave a deep impression on u?i hope it'll grow, as for me who prefer ballads, i realy like songs like cassiopeia, him and me, in my bed...and the others too^^ ahh,the hair? so its the 1st time u saw his super short haircut? well, i m totally fine with it.ahhahaa.....hmm, yes, it does look bit weird when its not gelled....its flat with the straight line, but...i felt, its quite....hmm, cute?hahaa. anyways.u reallly shud DL those interviews soon! if not, read the translations ~ its soooo funny, i was almost laughing non stop at the things he said.and aww...sureeee. i woud surprise u with texts once a while lol~~

karen >:D thats so cute of u to worry,but, i willlll definitely not be able to resist.but u dun hav to worry, coz, i cant study 24/7? so it wud help me to *unwind* ahahah....and sooo they arent manequins??? now,i m reallly....confused, how cud they look SOOOO manequined??ahaha.~ they were almost stationery, like i cant even feel them breathing?hahaah

rachelle onni >so did u join the clouds?? i am not planning to, bcoz, i realy dont noe how to enjoy the priviledges etc.....but sounds like a great deal for the discounts off the sg tics! aigoo....

jeannie > oh...cyborg? coz u said filming so i thought,new movie proj? ahaha.

dawnyee > hi hi, goood to hav u back. heehe, yes, some of the songs take some time to grow on me too...but, i do feel his vocals improved....

teresa > helo, i saw the one of bi with KSW,ahahha, its reallly funny and yes...quite interesting to hear his views on relationship,etc.~~

[xiaohei88]

rach unnie I'm still thinking if i should go or not cause.. im the only one i know who applied for the cloud and i have a fear of going to such places alone.. haha.. plus the tickets are still pricey you know..

hhmm maybe if i know anyone from rainsingapore who is a cloud member and getting the same ticket price that i want.. i shall reconsider...

[panda_shine]

My RW came today! I was predicting that it'll be today and it was! :angel: It's the Korean version too ^^.. so no translations this time :sweat: I really like the packaging! I am listening to it right now hehe..

About the hair.. yeah, I don't like it when he starts sweating and it becomes straight either ^^;

Dawnyee: Hihi! Yup, Jessica said he's been on YSMM 5 times (excluding the recent one I think?).. but same as you, I've only seen 2.. well 3 including the recent one.

Teresa: Yeah the epi with KSW and Han Ga In was the only full episode I watched .. it was so funny :D

Grace: lol~ I guess their sad/no expression on their face makes it look really.. non human-ly? :sweat:

Fizah: I think you should definitely go since it took you so long to apply to become a Cloud.. and now you get discounted tickets too! Hmm.. I am sure you'll still enjoy it even if you go there alone^^ And hmm.. maybe you can go to a Bi SG forum or something to ask if anyone is going by themselves too? :sweat:

[xanimeotakux]

panda_shine+gracecherry: LOL, he already finished that quick? why isn't it in theaters already? o.O why wait until december? O_O

oh! i saw the phone cm also! i was quite confused, since everything was in korean, and there was no words i understood. and no subtitles, either T_T

i like a few songs from his new album, everytime i listen to 'with you,' i always imagine him dancing in that big puffy orange jacket XD

[jbalibean]

*peeps in* Hi everyone!! I've really been missing this thread, so I had to drop in:cry: :cry: :cry: This semester my classes are really hard and all I do is study all day, I have no time to do anything fun. I guess this is what I get for taking 19 credits:oops: I have not forgotten about our oppa though! I'm happy to hear that he is finished filming the Cyborg movie, I can't wait until it comes out, I'm really curious to see how it will be ~ especially with his haircut:D

I just watched the 'I do' mv again, except to my surprise the one I found was in Japanese, I never knew that he had a Japanese version of the song:? It's really cute, especially how the lyrics "bounce" *giggles*^^ awwww, brings back really nice memories of when I first started getting into him. I hope to come back more often, I just have so much work=.= actually I have a lot of work due tomorrow that I need to be working on now, but i wanted to come in and say Annyoung to my Unnies (and dongsaengs, although I think I'm one of the youngest, if not the youngest here:shy: ) :huglove:

:flowers: happy birthday jess!!!!!:huglove:

wah today is has been as really interesting day, woke up late (i set the alarm for 6:30 so that i could wake up at 7:10 i like to hit snooze a few times) but like i said in my old last post i'm a heavy sleeper and i didn't wake up till 7:55!!!!! and i was like SH!T i had to catch my train in like 15 mins so i had to quickly splash water on my face and then grab all my stuff and run out the door and i would've made it on time if i had brought my ticket yesterday like i was planning to but couldn't bc i forgot my card, anyways so there was like something happening at the station that i needed to get off at so my train was delayed, then went to uni got my assignment nothing new there but then my teacher said that there was a filming at waterloo station so my friend and i went down there and it turns out that they were filming the 3rd instalment of the bourn identity!!! it's called bourn ultimatum and i saw matt damon just walking up the escalators but then i got told off by the security man for trying to take pics from my phone he was so rude!!! he was like if i'll tell you again i'm gonna take ur phone away from blah blah blah what just bc he's "apart" of the shoot he thinks he'sall mighty and powerful?!?!??! bull shit!!!!!!! but yea they're filming there for the next 2 days but yea after watching matt standing around for like 30mins it kinda wore off, then my friend and i went to eat lunch at the tuck away restaurant, it was good and cheap just like how i like it! then we went to convent garden, (it's like a big market) and was looking round there then my friend got a call she had a job interview to make 6ft penguins lol it's for a display for shops and somewhere else it's promo for a film that's coming out, so we then went to a cafe called coffee, cake and kink (as in kinky/sex) and pictures weren't THAT explicit but i guess it depends on n who's viewing them but yes there were titts, ass and other parts lol but the coffee there was nice, so then we had to rush back to the train station bc we only had like an hr and half to get her to the place where she was having the interview, but the thing was we don't know where it is so i was calling all my friends who were close to a computer, turns out that they were all in lectures!! :bang: but it's cool bc i needed to head back to uni (i've got an aerobic class to go to) so i just sent her the directions from the net hope she finds it ok. well yea so that's been my day lol ok back to the post

jess: happy b'day, as for the time it took me to type the reply hmm... can't really remember i guess a few hrs lol but the thing was i actually thought that it was kinda short compared to back log i had, thought that it would be longer :sweat: i've dl the show case already, just haven't had a chance to watch it :depresse: but i will! one of these days...... :sweat: soon lol, you might like In My Bed more after you watch the performance yea i tend to like songs more when they're sung live then when i'm just listening to it on my ipod i dunno do you get that?? some songs sound better live?? yes yes i know i must burn stuff off my hd but the thing is i've burnt all the korean dramas off of my comp and all i have are the osts but the thing that i think is taking up most of the space is the variety shows bc they haven't brought out the subs yet, and love letter has now officially ended :cry:

rachelle: During those performances, it's flat and there's a... straight line for his fringe. It can looked like a bad haircut. >.< ^^^ lol hmm.... yea i kinda agree, although i haven't seen the concert from that description hmm..... :worry: but mayb bc of the hair style he sported for cyborge it was too damaging????? and he had to cut it??? or mayb he just wanted a completely new look for the album???? either way i'm hmmm... not going to say much bout the hair just liked it longer, guess i could just imaging running my fingers through it :rolleyes: :bleh:

fizah: yea i liked his hair longer as well, it made him seem more cute and like a big puppy but now that it's really short and highlighted hmm... i guess it goes with the military theme but i'm sure that in time i'll grow to like it, and yea the tix prices are really high, although i'm sure it's worth it, i still think that it's a lot to ask i mean esp since most of his fan base are students (i know there's adjumas and all but still!)

karen:i saw the mv for i'm coming the other day i like it, esp how the wings folded back on themselves and then disappeared and the dancing is really different, i'm glad he kept to his promise! as for the YSMM there are 5 eps of bi all together, if you want i can upload them for you or i'll give you the cb link (that is if i can remember where i got it from) they're all subed and they're all funny but i would have to say the funniest one is the one where he was peak-a-boo bi!!! lol that was just AIGOO!!!!! lol aww ppl don't like that song?? ah that's ok i like it bc of the beat and how he's just like let me let me let touch ya!!! soo vicious!!! i like it!!!! :brows:

dawnyee : His song aren't as 'wow' as It's Raining album.. but believe me, it definitely grows on you yes! i totally agree with you! when i heard it's raining i loved liked all the songs except for mayb nan at 1st but then it grew on me, i think it'll take time b4 r.w will work it's magic, but i've already ordered it so it should be coming some time this week hopefully can't wait!

grace:so, RW didn’t really leave a deep impression on u?^^^ unfortunately it didn't but i hope it does! like i said to dawnyee i've already ordered it so hopefully when i get it his look and music will grow on me, i think bc there's more ballads on this jib that i'm not liking it so, but i think it's perfect for u la :rolleyes: yes it was the 1st time that i saw his new look and i'm sure u know how i feel about, mayb because i haven't really been dl his clips and up-to-date with his appearances i'm so anti but i mean i'm sure if i watch more of his stuff i'll start excepting it and won't be so harsh, but dl is one thing, watching it is another!!! lol i really should read the translations but i've skipped those bc i guess i was too lazy to read it but i will nw! are they really funny?? what were the translations for???

jenna: hi!!!! it's great to see you back again!!! hope you drop by more often! ah study 1st! oppa will always be here and so will we! always feel free to drop by!!! ah ur not the youngest i'm still 19 (will be turning 20 next month but still at last in my teens) congrats on the credits!!! you must've worked ur ass off and it's paid off!!1 keep up the good work and drop by when you can!!! if ur missing oppa then, when you have a chance you can go onto youtube

http://www.fancyflours.com/fancyflours/images/large/candles-happy-birthday.jpg

haha, cool, your birthday is on halloween! :tongue:

lol, when i first heard of the song title, "in my bed," i was dreading watching his performance. and if there were translated lyrics, i didn't want to read them. i thought it would be very disgusting, lol >.>

[teardrop]

aigoo aigoo aigoo!!!! just finished watching the show case and omg! and i mean that in all sorts of ways!!! for thoes who haven't seen it then don't highlight bc i need to spaz!!! omg! 1stly i LOVE the i'm coming performance! but then i the remix of Instead of Saying Goodbye that was interesting, i mean didn't dislike it but i didn't like it, it was just different but i'm sooo glad that he didn't change escape from the sun too much bc i LOVE that song that song's my fav ever of his!! i thought that it was cool how he had clips of the tour coming together and but then again he always kinda does like in the rd dvd it just shows how hard working he is!! also wtf was up with the orange bomber jacket?!?!?! he looked like a pumpkin/bubble! i would say that was the WORSE outfit! also i'm sure it wasn't the outfit or anything but when he had it on i could swear that the mic was picking noises up bc it sounded like there was bubble wrap popping whilst he danced, also i think he got a wedgie! lol this is just my thinking but if u guys look back when he was in his orange outfit and the girls were just coming out of the door did he or did he not out his hand behind his back and pull!?!?! lol but i loved the it's raining out outfit! omo!!!!! *faint* soooo good soooo very good!!!!!! and then the outfit for in my bed came second, about in my bed, hmmm.... i think i might start to like it i dunno like for the beginning up to i think the bridge i like it but then after that i was like hmmm :dry: i dunno i guess i have to listen to his songs a few more times. although his hair is starting to grow on me well... i guess i'm starting to get used it it, but i like it when he's got a little gel in his hair bc other wise it looks like he's got fringe, it's just too straight and just doesn't look that good. but omo!!!! did u see the size of his heel for in my bed?!?!?!? when he was bending down i swear he's got an inch and a half on!!!!! they're huge!!!! he seriously doesn't need it but he did look very smart and yummy which i guess that's the whole effect right?!?! nah the shoes went with the outfit looked very nice and stylish but guess i was just shocked at the size of it!!!! lol the sfx were great!!! i love how the steps changed colour when he stepped on them and also when they had duplicated him on the led and it looked as if he was dancing with himself hhmmm... well he was you know what song i'm on about? when he was performing nan (i) but i think the one that really took my breath away was when he was singing friend and then he had wings omo that was really beautiful!!!! ok i'm done now :happy:

[panda_shine]

Just read the fan account.. aigoo.. Ji Hoon must be very tired these days? :worry:

I listened to RW at least twice today while driving.. I've mentioned that I really liked this album.. but today while listening, I realized that for this album, I don't have to skip any songs at all :sweat: :angel: Oh, and I am starting to find "With U" a bit similar to "Not A Single Day" ^^;

Jeannie: I am not sure why it's out in December.. but I think even with other movies, they don't show it right after they finish filming too :sweat:
I thought "In My Bed" would've been a bit different too (in terms of story line) but glad it wasn't! :whistle:

Jenna, Happy Belated Birthday!!
Oh.. I don't think there's a Jap version of "I Do" either? I don't think you are the youngest :tongue:

Jessica, Happy Birthday!!!
*phew* I am glad I didn't miss it your birthday :tongue: I wrote a message on your JP last night lol.. because I wasn't sure when your bday was.. thinking I missed it, but I am glad it didn't. Did it "Bi" over there? ^^;

Teresa: Yeah~ Bi seems like a very ..dedicated? lover lol. Did you watch the recent YSMM yet? I was so *wow* when Bi said if he came across someone who he liked and yet she had a bf.. he'll still try to compete with the other guy!

teardrop: What promise did he make?? About the YSMM links.. oh it's okay because I came across the links the other day^^ Thank you!! Peek-a-Boo Bi?? What was that about? Sounds cute hehe! :angel:
Haha.. the orange jacket.. I really dislike it too! Have you seen his other performances because he has different colors of that outfit :happy:

[xiaohei88]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JESSICA & JENNA

karen Well i already decided to go.. but i guess im taking the lower price that the JYPE is offerring me.. its still going to be worth it cause the seats are nearer to oppa than those paying around SGD 490... im really missing oppa with his long hair.. but at least he did try a new look... haha:happy:


jbalibean helloes.. i dont think so you're the youngest.. but you are among the youngest here though..haha.. :-)

teardrop > ahahhha, so you liked the new stuff he came up with in the showcase? ahh, the interviews i was talking about was the SBS and the KBS FM2 ....it was realy meaninful, and i see him in a somewhat different dimension now. he is just... so sincere in the things he does. its not realy funny,but rather meaningful interview. some parts ARE funny, jess and i were spazzing on msn~ the baby wings part~ anyways, ahh, yes its good for me,since i like ballads, this album suits my taste.hahaa. hmm, vanness and bi in competition? ahahaha, to me.... i guess, bi's influence is on a much wider scale lol.

teresa > ahh, it was funny, and yea.that part ...hmm...i gues,these boys are just overprotective of their gf? hahahaha,:D i guess.... have u watched the sangsang plus clip before? its another funny one too~

Signing off with love ---

[rachelle03]

*sings* saengil chuka hamida! saengil chuka hamida!
Happy Birthday, Jenna and Jess!
Hope you girls had a great time! :happy:

Oh, I'm sad to say this but I'm giving the SG concert a pass this time. :oops: (And if I didnt feel crazy suddenly :D) I just cant accept forking out so much for a seat that's so far away plus there's no one accompanying me. I wouldnt want to be screaming him away alone. ><

But, I might be going to KL's. :tongue:

karen: Oh, the mystery behind the In My Bed's "mannequin" is solved now. :D

dawnyee: I know, I know it's oppa. But to sit so far away from oppa, I'm just... *sigh*

tes: Perhaps his name is some kind of Korea-insider joke. :sweat: I was laughing out loud during the Loveletter with Han Ji Hye and the guys were cheering HyeSung on, with "Jung! Pil! Gyo Gyo Gyo Gyo!" and crab dance. lol.
Hmm, regarding Bi's concert, I'm willing to pay up to perhaps SGD200? But given the bad seating location of the concert, it's just doesnt tally up.

Maybe my fangirling mode is just not in right now. >.< Mianhae, Ji Hunnie.

grace: Nah, I didnt join the clouds either. So far it just seems the benefit for the SG concert is good. Cause so far, I think the Seoul concert were given 10% off. But the SG concert is given almost 50% off, which is a lot!

fizah: Yah, it's the benefit of getting the lower price. I mean, it's worth to go, given your benefit. ^^""

[gracecherry]

may > hi hiii~ great to hav u drop by! r u goin for bi's concert in msia??

rachelle onni > ahh, i see, i agree with u too.i speculate, if his kl concert's lowest tic is like rm300 for the lower ranges, i wouldnt noe how to decide too....its usually the highest price for other ppl's concert. anyways, hope we can go for the KL one together too~

[xiaohei88]

Rach unnie

are you going to oppa's concert alone?

im entitled to buy 2 tickets from the designated area that we clouds members are given..would you like to join me and see our oppa in a better view ?

cause..honestly speaking..neither of my friends are bothered to pay that large sum of money.. :sweat:
All of them prefers their taiwanese singers than koreans..but since i have been given this privelge i thought i might as well share it with you...

We should get the US150 ticket which is only SGD213.30 if im not mistaken.. but if you're going with friends i understand...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

JYPE is only giving Singaporeans Cloud 109 seats since there's only 109 of us.. BUT.. the clouds are allowed to buy maximum of 2 tickets.. and at least one of them are cloud memeber..allowing non member to enjoy the speacial discounts.. Booking is going to start soon.. and i heard the deadline is confirmed by NOV 11..


Im not financially prepared yet for the concert!!!.. what am i going to do.. only have 100 bucks now.. so sad!!!:cry: .. still waiting for my membership card.. have not arrived yet..

I WANNA SEE JI HOON OPPA....:cry: :cry: :cry:

[rachelle03]

Ommo! Fizah!
You're serious bout the two ticket thing?! My friends are the same as yours, "find the ticket to be the expensive". Ommo, you relighted my flame to see him again. >.<
Let me think for a while and I'll PM you. :wink2:

[xanimeotakux]

JENNA, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
http://www.fancyflours.com/fancyflours/images/large/candles-happy-birthday.jpg

i'm so sorry! i didn't know! :oops:

panda_shine: lol, i guess the director has to do some editting in the movie or something. but OMG. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER! less than two months away! :excited:

fizah: if you can go to the concert, maybe you and rachelle03 can show us pics and tell us about the concert! =D

[gracecherry]

fizah > hi hi,aww, thats a realy good discount,i hope u can go.with rach onni too~ yes, for me in msia as well, i dont noe who would go with me,since its such a big amount. its so fun if we can share oppa's perf wif someone who is as enthusiastic about his perfs! ahhh~ as for the money part, can u like...loan from ur parents first?^^ then, repay them from deductions from ur pocket money, or after ur exams,u can do some part time job,it wud be fast to repay hahaa...

[xiaohei88]

grace & rach onni im really at my wits end.. here i am trying hard to focus on my O levels examination this coming Monday and im have rain's concert details in my head.. now im not even sure about going.. cause not only i have insufficinet amount for now.. onni rach wont be able to make it.. haiz.. aigoo.. its such a big headache.. i have to wait on nov 7 to see what jyp has in store for us.. sometimes i feel that the whole systme has gone haywire.. but i have to understand they're handling oppa's fan all over the continent..

[jessica]

aigoo, i had to read 2 pages of backlog :wacko: i'll try to make this short ^^; thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday :hugz:

rach & fizah: i hope both of you can find an alternative to go to his concert! :console:

karen: in the PAX Musica clip there are various artists from other countries participating. you're not mistaken when you saw Shawn Yue, and that tall guy which i'm not sure if he was Taiwanese or Japanese =x Come and Play is Norewah if i'm not mistaken and he was on that show for the Christmas special in 2004. i'm pretty certain that all of his YSMM episodes are uploaded to youtube. let me know which one you didn't see yet and i'll try to look for them :happy: you should DL it too! =P there is a Japanese version of I Do. i think youtube should have it. let me know if you're interested in it ^^
keke~ it was a nice and warm day on my bday. i was tempted to go the the Halloween parade this year but i was feeling too tired to walk :sweat:

dawnyee: he was on 5 episodes of YSMM altogether, excluding the new appearance, 40 - 41 (with CTH, KSA), 44 (with KSW, MC Mong, HGI), and 84 - 85 (with KJK) < my favorite

grace: i wanted to spazz with you longer! it was fun even though so short. oppa never cease to amaze us, either with his perseverance or cute humor :laughing:
너무 고마워 동생~! i was nervous seeing all those Korean words, hehe ^^; you should listen to se7en's new album because there are many slow R&B songs and ballads! i really like this album :cloud9:

jeannie: there are 2 english subbed SKT Nate Story CF already (4 and 5). i'll have to upload the other one soon. we might be subbing all of them. i'll have to see if the translator will do it ^^ hehe~ you thought In My Bed will be a racey song? wait until you listen and read the lyrics to Slowly :angel:
thanks for the delicious looking cake :D

tes: don't you know that most Korean male are dominant like that? :rolleyes:

teardrop: haha. another hectic day for you? you need to get a blog and rant all that frustration you experience everyday =P of course i understand what you mean by some songs are better when you watch it being performed live! i've always prefer his live performances than listening to the mp3. weren't you blown away by his vocals and acting for In My Bed?! i was awestruck when i heard him reach such a note and the way he acted out his feelings :love: he even said that I'm Coming is a song that doesn't sound good when you listen to it and that it's a song for visual pleasure :D i had to rephrase what he said a bit :rolleyes: i'll have to re-watch the With U perf from his showcase and see if i can catch what you saw :roll:

may! omomo!!! you went to SK?! =O did you plan to go there especially for DBSK's comeback? :shifty: i'll spazz about those pics at rain-malaysia ^^

and about that picture where he was holding the infant so gently, here's the news to it... that photo touched my heart *melts*

Superstar Rain Sends Message of Love; Gives Warmth to Orphaned Babies
01 Nov 06, Sina News (Original news from newsen&joins)

Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Rain, who has been racing against time in preparation for his hugely publicised World Concert Tour, received an invitation from the Korea Social Welfare Society to participate in the "Give an Orphan a Warm Home-Charity Poster Promotion". Rain accepted the invitation without hesitation when he received it. He said, "When I think of how my action may give a homeless child some warmth, I'm willing to contribute and do my part."

This time, Rain will take pictures for a poster with a one-month-old baby. During the photoshoot, Rain is required to pose holding the baby. Rain has no experience holding a baby, especially a one-month-old infant. In the interview, Rain said, "I don't know how to hold a baby comfortably and with security. I was a little panicky initially, but it got better as we progressed along, and the photoshoot went smoothly." He revealed that nearing the end of the photoshoot, the baby peed and left a wet patch on him, eliciting a round of laughter on-site.

Other than Rain, other artistes who are participating in this charity activity are Soo Ye-Jin, Kim Jung-Eun, Kim Hye-Soo, SS501, SG etc local stars.

[xanimeotakux]

i'm so glad that even though ji hoon is so busy getting ready for his world tour concert, he still has time for charity. :love: other stars would just say that they're too busy. :dry:

jessica: you're welcome! ^_^ hm, i should read the lyrics. do you have a link to them? sorry if you already posted it, i didn't get to check it out :cry:

Yesterday (1 Nov), Rain showed up in a radio program in Seoul.

DJ asked Rain, "Although this was mentioned in the past interviews, you felt very satisfactory when practising dancing, do you feel tired or painful?"

Rain said, "Certinaly, really very painful....when in night time,the pain cannot be described in words...

The pain is great in the head and waist...and legs..and muscles....and also joints....in the past, the muscles is fatigue and exhausted due to non-stop working.....now the joints and bones....now is only 25 years old but already has problems with the joints...really don't klnow what to do....

I hope the promotion of the 4th album and world concert tour can be ended soon...and I will go to receive some treatments....of course...not very serious.....

Because I am a perfectionst and need to check every single step, and probably too much...so I am overdone....if I make myself less overdone then it would be good....

I often asid, if I can entertain all of you, I am okay to live wihtout bones and joints....I will try my best to do....

Even if I have to lay on bed in the rest of my life......

I hope I can do ALL what I want to do....when I am still young....

Even when I have to lay on bed in the rest of my life due to physical illness....I am still hoping to run and burn my whole life of candle......when I am still young.....

So it is not surprised a fan of RAIN who lives in the US and left message saying that he/she saw RAIN in the hosptial, and Rain told him/her he came to see the doctor for his waist pain....Rain is still very young but he already has physical illness and fatigue.....

Yesterday when Rain showed up in a radio program, he got serious cold.....his English teacher was still standying by his side....this guy......

Hope Rain will not play his life.....don't you know the cost of exhaust and overdone will be very high?????

Hope Rain will not play his life.....don't you know the cost of exhaust and overdone will be very high?????
------

dang. rain was in a hospital in the U.S?! i wish he were at the hospital where i'd work at... that'd be awesome! but sad too since he's not feeling well. =(

he said he'd entertain even on his deathbed?! such dedication!

I <3 Bi!

OMG. CYBORG TRAILER 2 IS OUT! =D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ouLjUMmiZk

i love it when ji hoon whines, it's so funny! XD it's like, 'aw..mom!' haha

gracecherry: i love both your videos! the one about his smile, and you took a clip off of the video where he was interviewed about his mom, i cried in that video. does that make sense? O_O the video where he was interviewed and talked about his mom..i cried when i heard him talk about it :cry:

[panda_shine]

Fizah: Aw.. so you still don't like his short hair?

Hi May!! Aww.. I haven't completed his Korean albums yet.. only 2/4.. hopefully I can complete it soon! Like Jessica said, Omo! You went to SK?! Fill us in with more details :D

Rach/Fizah: Aww.. kinda sad to hear that you guys can't make it :oops: but hopefully maybe in the future^^;

Jessica: I just saw a clip of Dylan Guo (the Taiwanese star) meeting Bi.. and they had a convo in English. It was so cute.. (their convo) :happy:
Oh and I found d/l link for all the YSMM^^; but I am just waiting for the "right time" to d/l it right now ^^.. I've been d/l-ing so much lately :sweat:
I listened to Se7en's album too but for some reason, I kind of prefer his old stuff more.. or maybe I am too Bi-ified at the moment~ :shifty:

Grace: !!! Couldn't help but put those exclamation mark :D When you said you got it, I felt as excited for you? lol. And I just saw your "Charms of Rain" too and I really like it! It's very touching! Yeah, some songs, I actually prefer the mp3s more such as "With U" but I guess when he performs it, his charm and the choreography makes up for it^^;
About uploading the video clip on the net to JP.. hmm I'll email you since it might be long? (Oh but I don't think you can have it stream on forums.. but I think on JP you can^^)

Aigoo.. hope Bi's visit to the hospital wasn't serious..! :worry:

Jeannie: lol.. his whining is soo cute.. and I noticed the part where he's only in his boxers :shifty:

[jessica]

jeannie: you can find it here (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Rain_USA/index.php?showtopic=12). you need to listen to the song too :rolleyes: thanks for the Cyborg trailer! i was trying to dl it but it won't start ><;

grace: yay, another MV!!! my connection isn't very good now so i'll watch it next time and comment on it ^_^ i can understand the msg, keke~ it took a while for me to read it though =x yes, he worked very hard to prepare for the showcase. i can't believe that's just 1% of what we'll see in his concert!!! looking at his schedule for the tour, it doesn't seem like he'll be coming back here =( i want to support him at his concert and cheer him on because he put so much effort into this tour. i couldn't control my tears when i read that interview :cry:

fizah: :console:

soapie: welcome! how long have you been a fan? drop by often ^^

edit:

karen! almost missed your post. i just watched that news clip :D so that tall guy is Taiwanese, hehe ^^; i was so happy to see them conversing in English and i think it was Bi who introduced himself first!!! although he's only using simple words, it's nice to hear him speak in a language that i understand :love:

haha. maybe you are too Bi-ified. there are some fans who like his previous album more too. i guess i like it so much because it reminded me of his older works from 1st jib <3

some funny and good news..i'll start with the funny =D it is confirmed that "Come and Play" will be subbed. you can dl it at bummie's box here (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/goxla) (ULed by J.lee)

Singer Rain, drilling a hole in his skull for double eyelids?
03 Nov 06, Innolife.com
Kr to Ch: irbi@biwithrain
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Singer Rain (original name: Jeong Jihoon) discloses his inferior complex about his single eyelids.

While participating in MBC TV's "Come and Play", Rain said, "I went to a plastic surgeon because of my eyes. But I was told that the structure of my eyes don't allow me to do the double eyelid operation"

"It's not because I have no fats in my lids, but because my eyes were protruding, giving them a weird, swollen appearance. They will be difficult to operate on. If I want to have my operation done, I'll need to cut a hole in my skull and withdraw my protuding eyes a little. That will be insanely expensive. Rain, who has the body of a westerner if not counting his single eyelids, decided to go for plastic surgery because JY Park said his eyes were lifeless onstage.

Kim Tae Woo, who was in the show with him, consoled Rain saying, "At least he wanted Rain to go for operation. He had one look at my eyes and immediately asked me to put on my glasses." Then, he looked into the camera and said to JY Park, "We're all under the same agency. Why are some people asked to go for operations while others are asked to put on glasses?"

After that, he added, "When Rain was making his debut, g.o.d's popularity was at its peak and made some big bucks. The agency's financial situation became better because of that. So they took the money g.o.d made and gave it to Rain for double eyelid surgery." That comment elicited a round of laughter from the audiences.

Rain said, "In comparison to women, I still like food better!"

"This is the result of Park So-and-So (JY Park)'s strict training and starving of the trainees! In particular, singers under that agency share a common trait--If they look down or unhappy, simply offer them some food and they immediately cheer up and start laughing again."

This programme which Rain and Kim Tae Woo appeared in will be broadcasted on SBS on 3rd November at 9.55pm (Korea time).


and the good... :excited:

Audience response to the final cast will determine Pepsi's new generation of endorsers.

The story tells of a young lady, Jun Hee, who likes to dress herself as a boy. While secretly spying on a gang fight, she was killed when she was pierced by a unidentified object. At the same time the soul of a girl called A-Jin left her body. With the secret arrangement of a messenger from Hell, Jun Hee's soul secretly entered the body of A-Jin. This secret of exchanging souls led to another genetic-engineering plot involving several mysterious young boys. They appeared simply appeared around Jun Hee who is now occupying A-Jin's body, intertwining their fates....

Pepsi has decided to make a "concentrated" version of this drama and turn it into the Stars "Spirits" CF for year 2007.

Hello!
Belated Happy Birthday Jenna and Jessica!

I've been pretty busy lately. I didn't tell you guys yet, I have work already. :) It's tiring but its fun to be busy and productive. :)

Jenna, good luck with the studies!

I'm trying to keep up. I haven't seen Rain's YSMM yet. I am trying to get used to his black hair... it seems its been ages that he had black hair. Maybe because I've seen a bunch of his pics his blondish hair. hehe

I'm going to take a peek at his cyborg 2 trailer later. Gosh so much to catch up on. Even Se7en's new album just came out. *sigh*

I hope Rain is feeling better. He has to take care of his body. A lot of activities for the whole year.

Does the Pepsi event feature all of the stars in one film? Jay and Rain? wow! Hopefully Rain and Song Hye Gyo back together. hehehe

[xanimeotakux]

OMG, those boxers! i wish they could just slip off... :drool: :brows: :whistle:
i'm not happy about that interview about his eyelids.

WHO CARES IF HE HAS SINGLE EYELIDS?! MOST OF HIS FANS DON'T CARE! :crazy: and you can show emotion in your eyes even if you don't have double eyelids :dry: i think jy park is overreacing.

would ji hoon really drill a hole into his skull just for some freaking 1 cm. crease in his eyes?! :cry:

gracecherry: lol, you're welcome! ^_^ no, i haven't seen the video yet. wow, his mom died the day after christmas? that seriously sucks T_T i'll search for the video when i'm not surfing jcnet, doing homework, or on youtube　ＸＤ

jessica: you're welcome! were you trying to download it from the youtube video? maybe they have it on clubbox if the other video doesn't work?

panda_shine: haha, his whining is definitely cute. it makes him sound like..a hot..kid? XD haha, i don't think i've ever seen ji hoon's legs before :glug:

[xiaohei88]

seems kinda silent this 2 days...

grace & jeannie what a coincedence... my beloved cat passed away on the 26th december too.. love her to death that baby of mine....

[gracecherry]

[jessica]

you can find the translation/romanization and korean lyrics at aheeyah (http://aheeyah.com/lyrics/bi/bi_4_tran.htm). the only song that isn't translated is Friends. the Pepsi charity concert has been cancelled because there was a conflict with another event being held there during that time =(

this year, it seems like all the game/talk shows he will appear on will be subbed! :excited: i'll post some new media in the DL thread ^^ for other new clubbox files, you can look for them at rain international (http://z13.invisionfree.com/Rain_International/index.php?showforum=10) or bummie's box (or sexybi might have some non-clubbox links) ^_^ i'll spazz about those subbed shows when some of you start to watch it. he was very cute and witty :love: there was an embarrassing moment revealed in Come to Play and it involves a Jacuzzi! :laughing: :sweat: :blush: :whistle: :angel: he talked about how much he loves food too! one of my favorite part was when he was asked, "what will you do if you were invisible" -->
http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/6362/mbccometoplayip3.th.jpg (http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mbccometoplayip3.jpg)
direct link (http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/6362/mbccometoplayip3.jpg)
and Kim Tae Woo's response was, "that's why he became the world star that he is now" :roll:
you'll have to watch to find out why he said that line :rolleyes:

grace: i commented at your video already. hope it shows up later :worry: did you watch the Bugs clip? it's a longer version of the dance practice he had in LA. and, and...the making of the I'm Coming MV. he was injured and he still continued shooting :depresse: i'm glad the next MV he'll shoot will be a slow song. he said that he'll shoot the MV for In My Bed next!!!
you should watch the 2 new fancams from Rosejin! his dancing looks even more powerful when the camera was focused solely on him and not zooming all over the place @.@

ommo the cyborg trailer is super cuteee,ahhahah, a mental patient with tat kind of body? ^^ hmmm....how rare?
:lolabove: that thought crossed my mind when i watched it too.

sandy: congrats on finding a job! :excited: catch up whenever you have time ^^ you must watch all his game/talk shows! i'm sure someone will upload them to youtube soon. the font size for the hard subbed files from rain-usa are quite small so you might have to strain your eyes to read them ><; i don't know how they'll choose the cast for the Pepsi drama, but it almost sounds too good to be true. we'll have to wait and see if this pushes through ^^;

jeannie: lol. if that happens, it'll be another type of movie :whistle: i was trying to DL the trailer from clubbox. it's okay, i got it now ^^ it's very common for Koreans to get double eyelid surgery. he made fun of JYP's eyes too in Come to Play when he talked about that incident :D i don't think he needs it either because he can emote extremely well, even with his "small" eyes.

[xanimeotakux]

fizah: aww..i'm so sorry! you must have loved that cat a lot, like how ji hoon loved his mom.. :cry:

gracecherry: oh! that last part! i wonder, why were people clapping? and the scalp of her hair was turning blue.. :?

jessica: "when you have to be evil, you just have to?" :glug: i would have never expected that to come from ji hoon's mouth! :rolleyes: yeah, a lot of koreans get double eyelid surgery. i haerd 75% of all korean women's surgeries are for their eyelids. wow, i wonder why koreans have such a low chance of getting double eyelids naturally.. :glug: and a lot of korean actors on dramas don't have double eyelids. so i don't see why ji hoon needs to. the korean actors show plenty of emotion already, lol

[jessica]

In My Bed MV is out!!! :excited: :bounce: :excited: DL it here (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/1p1oa) (ULed by J.lee)
my download isn't moving!! *pulls hair out* wae?!!! =(

jeannie: there is a reason to why he said that, jokingly :rolleyes: oori Ji Hunnie is so mischievous! his expression and tone was so cute when he said :roll:
big eyes for dance-singers are apparently important in Korea because it shows their charisma on stage.. if their eyes sparkle when light reflects off them... or something along those lines @.@;

[soapie]

jessica: ohh.i'm a new fan of Rain's! i was surfing YouTube when i came aross a live performance of "I Do". i've been hooked since! bwhaha. =)

thanks for your hospitality! =D i like it here already. keke. =)

[ker_ai_teresa]

thanx for posting the MV link in here, Jess. :hugz:
you may ignore my cry for help at your bloggie. ^^

oh and I'm still waiting to see your forehead and eyes....:shifty:

I finally got around to watching the english subbed YSMM ep on youtube last night. I noticed something very significant. JiHun seems to have a thing for noonas.....:shifty:

*ahem*

:brows:

[jessica]

soapie: so you found out about him as a singer first? :excited: i know so many fans who knew him after Full House. have you listened to all of his albums yet? if you like "I Do" i'm pretty sure you'll like "With U" from his 4th album ^^ there are so much you need to catch up on! did you watch any of his dramas yet? i highly recommend Full House =D

Tes: did you watch the MV yet?!! :bounce: omg~~~ i was spazzing nonstop before and i'm feeling a bit dizzy now ^^; i only watched it once and it took my breathe away :cloud9:
he's been saying that he likes older woman since... 3rd jib :bleh: does this change how you look at him? :shifty: you need to watch more of his game/talk shows! there are 2 subbed shows recently (come to play and tvNMAD). clubbox links are posted in the DL thread. let me know if you prefer something else ^^ did you watch all of his YSMM episodes yet? there are 6 altogether, including the newest one (ep 40 - 41 - not that funny but it was the first time he was on that show, ep 44 - with KSW, ep 84 - 85 - my favorite :D, and the newest one... ep 183?).

i posted my pic at your blog already.. at one of your "friends only" entry =P it's weird that i only see one of your entry at my friend's page, which is the notice you posted. i might have to de-friend and re-friend you soon ><;

[sweep]

thanks, jessica.

I saw Rain's "In My Bed" MV. I like it! Of course he ripped his shirt! hahaha The car is so cool! It has a Rain name plate! The video is simple but nicely made.

So far, as a whole, I like Rain's album compared to Se7en.

I was able to watch YSMM in youtube but, I am still in part 6. It's so funny! Rain is so funny!

I have not seen come and play yet though. Have you guys seen the NMADtv already? Is it good?

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: lol, i haven't seen the interview yet, but from that clip, it certinaly looks interesting XD

wtf? how does double eyelids reflect light, and single eyelids can't? :wacko:

i saw the music video! i'm glad that even though it's a slow song, he can still add some dance moves to it =)

[ker_ai_teresa]

jess--> yes I've watched the MV! very nice I must say. I love the smooth choreography he does beside the car. for a moment there, I though it was filmed under the Harbour Bridge, but alas! :rolleyes:

no I haven't seen all of his YSMM eps yet. I have a few of the old ones saved on my HD but with no subs I'm lazy to watch them. :shy:
what's Come out to Play about?

[jessica]

it's hard not to like that MV :cloud9: :angel: he showed so much emotions, just like his perf... and more :whistle:

Cyborg will be out next month on the 7th. J.lee on soompi said that it'll premiere in other countries in Asia too, so be on the lookout for it at your local theaters! :excited:

this is a recent press con for the movie with Lim Soo Jung and the director. i don't like his longer hair now :oops:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoU6B1i6hLA

sandy: i finally watched his newest YSMM yesterday. it was funny, but it can't compare to ep 84 - 85 <3 i did really like some of the stories he told, esp. the swimming pool incident :roll: i've watched tvNMAD a few days ago. it's funny too! they were testing his heart rate to see if it increases when he watches "certain" scenes or images :D :rolleyes:

jeannie: for Bi's case, he doesn't only have single eyelids ^^; it's puffy and "small" too :oops: it's worse when he doesn't get enough sleep. i think it's not as bad as others have been telling him. he talks about it in YSMM and Come to Play also =D

tes: there are translations for all of his YSMM!!! YOU MUST WATCH EP. 84 - 85 WITH SUBS!!!!! you don't know what you're missing :tongue: Come To Play is similar to other Korean talk shows, like YSMM. each guests were asked questions and the rest have to guess the top 5 answers, and see if it matches with the 5 that person wrote down. they reveal stories about themselves too :brows: i liked it more than YSMM. you must watch it when you have time =P

[xanimeotakux]

has anyone watched a recent game show he was in, and they tested out his heart beat when he looked at certain images? :shifty:

jessica: oh, his eyes are puffy? really? i never really notice. do fans really STARE AT HIS EYES that much? :rolleyes: i never knew ji hoon was so self concious about his image to even think of possibly getting double eyelid surgery :cry:

[panda_shine]

Annyeong Bi-ers!! :wave: Have been quite busy :sweat:

About the Pepsi sponsored drama.. This is official right? because I am really looking forward to seeing all the Pepsi stars.. and then all those KBS stars!! :excited: and of course, Ji Hoon!! :D :angel:

Jessica: Is Clubbox giving you troubles lately? I was trying to d/l a file the other day but it's really slow and took so long to start?!
About the Dylan Guo meeting Bi.. I thought it was interesting when Bi said he was very handsome.. and he was quite initiative to talk^^; Me too.. it's nice hearing him speak English.. and he sounds so good now!
I am watching the Cyborg press conf. right now ^^ I don't like his straight fringe too :oops: It looks quite funny! But ISJ looks like a doll!

i don't think he needs it either because he can emote extremely well, even with his "small" eyes.
oh this reminds me of the old YSMM he appeared on.. and he and other guests were talking about small eyes... about how people on the plane thinks he's sleeping when he's actually watching movie :D

Teresa: The part when he talked about him liking this noona was interesting.. he revealed so much ^^; It was funny when everyone was trying to get him to reveal who she was lol. I guess I'll be curious too :whistle:

Sandy: I prefer Rain's album more too compared to Se7en^^;

has anyone watched a recent game show he was in, and they tested out his heart beat when he looked at certain images?
That's the tvMad one ^^;

I watched the version with no subs first since I d/l.. but I found a subbed version on Youtube but the subs were soo tiny :oops: Anyhow, I loved his outfit there! One of my favorites :angel: He looks so handsome!!

[sweep]

Jessica, There's a second part to YSMM? I'll watch out for that. I thought that Come and Play is YSMM... hehehe I thought they just changed the title.

Yep, the swimming pool was funny. I had to decipher what he was meaning at first though. I had to replay a couple of times. What I thought was funny, was the lotion part. hehe He was really was cluless. hehe

I saw the NMAdtv just now. Gosh! Rain is so unfair. We can't make fun of him. His pulse didn't go high much. Maybe he practiced being calm?? He wasn't even that challenged... That pulse testing wasn't as exciting as I hoped it could be. I thought the NMAd was just a talk show. I was surprised it covered Rain's performances too.

[panda_shine]

I am trying to watch Come and Play (the hardsubbed file).. but for some reason, it won't play on my Windows Media Player. It says something about codecs. Anyone know what I can do or where I can download the codecs? It would be great if someone can help me out :sweat:

[jessica]

jeannie: i'm sure his fans stare at more than his eyes a lot :whistle: if you've watched ep 84 of YSMM, you'll know how confident he is about them :D i love that remark he made about men with small eyes :roll: it's his producer who wanted him to have double eyelid surgery ><; you'll hear him talk about it in YSMM, and also Come to Play =D

karen: welcome back! :hugz: my DLs are okay. it depends on the file. if it's new/popular it'll usually start quick. if it's rare it'll take longer to start and the speed will stay low. when i say low, i mean under 10kb/s and it pauses a lot ><;
his hairstyle in the press con is similar to his Cyborg hair, but just shorter and without the antenna :oops: i hope he gets a trim before the Seoul concert next month ^^;
get the codec pack here (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm). i'd recommend that you get the full version so you won't have codec problems later on ^^ after installation, you can watch soft subbed videos in wmp (.avi/.mpg) or media player classic (included in the codec pack) which supports all video formats. let me know if you still need help :happy:

sandy: there's no second part to YSMM. Come to Play is another talk show ^^; it's hard subbed already so i think you should be able to find it at youtube soon or probably it's uploaded already. hehe~ i was surprised that his heart rate didn't increase much, and it even dropped! :laughing: i always wonder if it's possible to control your heart beat... hmm. don't you find it funny that those images don't have much effect on him? :D

[ker_ai_teresa]

jess--> which ones are eps 84-85? :?

btw, I couldn't resist. I saw something funny in that pic you posted at my LJ:

it just means that your current WMP doesn't have the necessary updates to play that clip. when the pop-up window appears to say you haven't got the codec there should be an option that will allow your PC to open up your Explorer window to search for the codec that is missing. it should then search online for that codec and if it's found there should be some option for you to download and install the new codec.

try it again and see. if it doesn't work you could always just download another media player...I've got about 5 different ones myself on my PC. :rolleyes:

here's one that I highly recommend--> http://gom.ipop.co.kr

yes, it's a korean freeware. very reliable, easy to use and has some snazzy functions. if you want it, let me know I'll give you some directions on how to DL it. ^^

LOL! i guess it was her first time seeing him live, or she was really excited =P that's why i don't want to be caught on camera :sweat: i'd probably react that way too if i wasn't so dumbfounded when he came on stage. so you saw my forehead and eyes, ne? :blush:

ep 84 - 85 are the eppies where he wore a plunging v-neck black shirt and he was wearing a black beanie. it's from November of 2004. if you want the soft subs, let me know ^^ i think you can find it on soompi's YSMM thread too.

btw, a member at R.I. uploaded the making of I'm Coming to MU. if you haven't DLed yet, get it here (http://z13.invisionfree.com/Rain_International/index.php?showtopic=2002&st=0&#last). it's a little over 400MB ^^;

may!!!!!! thanks for the romanization! ah, i forgot to post that audio file here >< he was yodelling, so he was suppose to sound like that ^^; i thought he did a pretty good job. he said he had to practice twice a week for 3 months to sing that song.. or something along those lines :wacko:

[ker_ai_teresa]

kekeke...she was either overwhelmingly excited about seeing Bi in the flesh, or somebody had trodden on her toes. :laughing:

I was just reading a cute ariticle on chosun:

[061110]Rain Gets a Baby Shower

http://english.chosun.com/media/photo/news/200611/200611100006_01.jpg

The workaholic K-pop superstar Rain is participating in a photography exhibition to help children without families. The Love Photography Exhibition has been held annually since 2003 by the Social Welfare Society and photographer Cho Sei-hon to help children in government care and aims to match unfortunate children with loving adoptive parents. When Rain heard about the exhibition, he reportedly said, “If we can find a warm family for just one of the children, I’d be happy to be a part of it.” And when the time came, he was there to be a part of the shoot despite his tightly packed schedule.

But at the shoot, Rain was perplexed when he had to pose with a one-month-old baby in his arms. “I don’t really know how to hold a baby,” he said. When the shoot was nearly over, the infant suddenly had an “accident” all over the singer, making the crowd burst into laughter. “The new surroundings may have made the baby nervous, which lead to the discourtesy,” Cho says. “Rain’s clothes and hands were soaked in pee, but he wasn’t at all annoyed, and instead said baby urine is a ‘good thing.’”

The event will run on Dec. 20-26 in the Insa Art Center in Insa-dong, Seoul, with entertainers including Rain, Kim Jeong-eun, who is a honorary PR ambassador for the Social Welfare Society, Kim Hye-soo, Sohn Ye-jin and SG Wannabe participating.

[Cardcaptor Stacey]

OMG! I haven't been here in ages! Sorry, everyone! :(

I just saw Rain in my bed really I did! No I'm kidding! I just saw the MV. Wow, Rain looks different with short hair, but it's still pretty nice!

Now... to catch up on Rain news

[rachelle03]

Annyo, chingoos! :wave:

Mianhae, I've not been posting cause I'm kinda busy with my schoolwork, i.e. exams! >.< But I'm still in sync with Ji Hunnie's updates though there's like TONS of I'm Coming performance. :sweat: Heard his yodelling, so suprisingly good. Visited Cyborg's website, awesome AWESOME. I <3 that website now. Oh, the movie will be released in SG on 25th Jan and the local organisers are trying to get him to stay after his concert to hold a movie premiere! :excited: Speaking of concert, ya, I won't be going. (Sorry again, Fizah. >.<)

I'll be back in action soon. ^^

[xiaohei88]

[xanimeotakux]

panda_shine: oh! that was tvmad? lol, wow, his heartbeat went up a lot from those pictures :brows: i'm surprised his heartbeat didn't get higher when he saw two people practically having sex, lol

jessica: everyone's talking about YSMM and come and play so much, i think i'm going to go watch it! :excited: me too, i barely notice his eyes when he has his shirt off.. :whistle:

ker_ai_teresa: LOL, i think she's hyper or...extremely excited...maybe like me if i saw ji hoon live too, XD

may_510: OMG, i heard the wma! i was too shocked to laugh! XD i was like..."is this ji hoon?! what is he doing?! is he out of his mind?!" his yodelling is so weird :roll:

[panda_shine]

I love the picture with him holding the baby too.. and the meaning behind it for it is so meaningful too! :happy:

I finally saw the In My Bed MV.. and I love everything about it hehe~

I also love his performances from Show Tank.. it was awesome and he seemed like he was in such a good mood!

Jessica: Thanks for the link! But it still didn't work.. but now, I know how softsubs work :sweat:

Teresa: Thanks for the link to the Korean programs!! I downloaded the codecs from the link Jess gave me but it still didn't play. I am so glad the Korean media player worked!!

I am watching Come to Play right now and it's soo funny!! I am realy enjoying it but for some reason, it stopped at minute 42.. like it won't play anything after that?! Is anyone having troubles with this?? This file is giving me so much trouble :worry:

Aja aja everyone on your studies!!

[jessica]

tes: :tongue: that pic has a heartwarming effect on me :cloud9: his hands look so big and comfy when he supports the baby like that :love:

Stacey: you need to catch up on his performances too! :tongue:

rach: yes, he does have quite a lot of performances, and there will be more over the weekend. the MBC perf today is already available to DL ^^; i love the Cyborg website too, but it took soooo long to load. i gave up when i tried to view the book and it started loading slowly again :sweat: omo! Jan 25th?! is that before or after the concert? you guys are so lucky! =P

jeannie: his heart beat didn't really increase much. it actually dropped or remained steady when he was watching the first 2 clips :D it went up a little when they showed Ayumi's sexy pics at the beginning, but it went back down :laughing: i think he was surprised to see them instead of being excited about them.. and he might've felt embarrassed since she was sitting next to him, keke~ you must watch those shows! it's a lot funnier than tvNMAD ^^

karen: i didn't like the Mnet Show Tank perf that much. he sounded kind of breathy.. or it might be the recording or encoding of the clip ^^; hmm. i don't know why it doesn't work. i'm able to view it and i have that codec pack ^^; did you try skipping a little ahead from that 42 min. mark?
i'm going to make soft subs out of this because the small font is bothering me. if you like, i can send it to you when i'm done with it :secret: it'll take a while though because i have to start from scratch ^^;

good luck with your exams rach and fizah! =D

part 2 of the Oct 17th KBS FM2 interview is completed! Grace, remember what i said about his body being a piece of art?! did i tell you how much i love his sense of humor? :D this one is even funnier than part 1 :roll: :roll: :roll:

(17 Oct 06) KBS FM2 Interview Eng Translation (Pt 2)
Credit: biwithrain
Kr to Ch: rain0625y @ biwithrain
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Host: Introduced the name of the programme. We're chatting with Bi now...

JH: Thank you (clapped his hands)

Host: Many people are saying that men with single eyelids rules these days, so it's beneficial even for attempts to break into the US market.

JH: Yeah! Those are my words....(looks shy). This is a valid point...because there are many Asian faces who are active in the US entertainment industry, such as Lucy Liu...Single eyelids are mysterious and attractive in the eyes of the westerners. Single eyelids are symbols of sexy musculinity. A crew member told me several times...Although Bi's eyes cannot be seen, they are still very alluring....

Actually, it's wonderful I don't have double eyelids. When I'm lying, the other party won't be able to tell from looking in my eyes...in fact, my eyes look even more sincere when I'm lying.

Sometimes, when I close my eyes, the other party will feel that I am sorrowful and feel their heart aching for me.

When I'm riding a bike, I don't have to wear protective goggles...because my eyes are small, I just have to squint. Sand won't be able to get into my eyes.

Host: Your eyes don't look that small to me?!

JH: Actually, my eyes can split in three different ways...(rayndrop: not very sure about this...)

Host: How is that possible?!

JH: That's why I say, it's invincible techniques...I don't demonstrate them easily. But people who have single eye-lids like me will understand what I'm saying. It's very comfortable.

Host: I hear that double eyelids appear on their own when you are sleepy?

JH: Yes! Do you realise it? Not having double eyelids is a wonderful thing for us...

Host: Ah. Oh yes...I have single eyelids too...

JH: So I have been saying "us"...kept emphasizing "us" with you...
When we finally want to get the double eyelid operation done, we can just do it. Simply go to the hospital and have it done....single eyelid people like "us" can still go for an operation to get double eyelids, but people with double eyelids...they can't sew their double eyelids into single eyelids, can they?

Host: You are really quite an optimistic person... :sweatingbullets:

JH: Sigh! I've considered going for the double eyelid operation in the past...

Host: That's right! People with single lids will have such notions once in a while.

JH: Yeah!

Host: People with single lids can be very attractive too...

JH: Yeah! (Make a very attractive look...)
But actually, having double lids is rather nice too...
Oh well, it's ok! Don't have to be envious. We can just go have it done when we want to...

Host: Let "us" wait to do the operation together then! Let's open the Q&A to the listeners and go into the "quick ask quick answer" segment.

Q1: Your ideal type: Small size with a bit of a tummy?

JH: No...It's changed. I used to like that type...

Q2: When you're married in future, would you like to have a boy who can exercise with you, or a cute little girl?

JH: A cute little girl.

Q3: A song you often sing?

JH: (Sang a small part: It's a song from "Stairways to Heaven")

Q4: When do you think of getting your double eyelids?

JH: At several occasions...hey what's up? Keep asking me this question...

Q5: Who dances better? You or JYP?

JH: JYP of course!

Host: (Suspicious doubtful look) Really?!

JH: Without a doubt

Q6: This is a multiple choice question. When you look into the mirror, what are you thinking of?

1. I'm so handsome!
2. My body is a piece of art.
3. I need to be exercising.
4. I am such a special person.

JH: 2 (laughs shyly)

Q7: Your current ringtone?

JH: None. On vibrator mode.

Q8: Longest sleep you've have since your debut?

JH: About 10 hours...

Q9: The first number on your handphone's dial-list.

JH: Ah? I can't remember...Ah! My dad!

Q10: Your actions or expressions when you're with someone intimate...

JH: (tried to describe)...

Host: (Puffs up both cheeks) Like this?

JH: No, not like that!

(Host keeps asking...)

JH: I'll blow air out through my nose onto her face.

Host: (looks at Jihoon weirdly) You're going to do that to your girlfriend?

JH: Actually I'm mimicking my dog...Last time, my dog used to jump onto my bed while I'm sleeping and goes near my ear. Then he'll blow air out through his noise and disturb me so I can't sleep. Later, in revenge, I did the same thing to my dog while he was sleeping...

Host: Do you really like daughters better?

JH: Yeah!

Host: But mums need sons more....

Host: Your ideal type has changed?

JH: What's my ideal type? Actually that's not really important. What's important is how I feel, especially the feeling she gives me at first sight....

Host: You really sing that song often?

JH: Yup!

Host: You really sing it very well...

Host: Do you really feel that JYP dances better than you?

JH: Yeah! I've seen him dance before...I often get a shock

Host: Do you still think JYP dances better than you now?

JH: The 10 years of hard work which JYP put in is unmatchable. Because JYP knows the critical points in dancing. Although I am better in certain areas, JYP remains as a target which I am trying to achieve...because he knows so much more than me.

Host: Yes...he is a great person indeed...Are the answers above your real answers?! Then you must really believe your body's a piece of art?!

JH: I do feel that way, especially when I'm showering...

Host: Really? When you're showering?

JH: Yeah! I think it's odd too....why do I feel like that when I'm showering?
Why? (he askes the host instead)
Because when I'm preparing to shower, when I remove all my clothes, there is a full-length mirror in my house.
I'll frequently look at myself in the mirror and do all sorts of poses.
This pose looks good...so does that pose...

Host: Your biceps look good...

JH: Yeah! I say that to myself a lot when I'm looking at the mirror too!

[xiaohei88]

The interview is really really funny.. ji hun oppa really prefers daughter than son.. that shows he is a very sweet guy.. usually if guys want a son.. it shows that he's manly like.. i dont know actually.. my theory.. haha.. he really shouldnt consider for that double eyelid operation.. i myself find guys with single eylid a turn on thing.. consider a bonus for me.. and its ironic since 9 out of 10 people of my race have double eyelids..


Thanks jess onni... i shall strive hard.. aja aja..

[panda_shine]

The interview is so funny :D The dog incident is sooo cute!! Is he talking about the dog that was in his self cam a long time ago??
And his body part haha.. especially the last part. lol. :sweat:


Jessica: Really? hehe~ I thought the sound was good because I could kind of hear like an echo.. because of the big arena? And I thought his perf. for "With U" was good.. especially when he kept saying "Up Down, Up Down" .. so cute!! :angel:
Yeah, I don't really know what is wrong with the file >< but it's okay.. because I ended up watching the last couple minutes of it on Youtube.. but yeah on YT, the subs are extremely small :oops: My Mom was sort of in the room when I was watching it.. and she was asking why I was soo close to the monitor LOL~
Kamsahamnida for the soft subs but it's okay because I finished watching it now :sweat:

[xanimeotakux]

oh jeez. i'm on the verge of hyperventilating. i'm might just be able to get that life time chance!

Jeannie, I think once I tell you this, you're going to be either super mad at me or super .. just .. negative things. But I think I might have a chance to see Rain during christmas.
-prepares for jeannie's insane scream-

but there's always a little flaw to it. believe it or not, she's one of my "internet friends." i live only about 40 min. away from her though... >.> and i'm already making this HUGE PLAN and i'm afraid i'm going to have to lie to my mom and her mom that we've known each other since kindergarden. her mom lives in vegas...and...she has connections..and...we might be able to get good tickets! :shifty:

jessica: i wasn't sure if it was ayumi's pics or not, but she was all blushing after she found out rain's heartbeat increased XD

[soapie]

omg. that interview is HILARIOUS. does he really pose in the mirror? LOL~~!!!

jessica: yahh.. i liked rain as a singer first! (although i did just finish watching Full House and really liked it! he's a great actor!) you have a keen taste in music! good recommendation for "with you". i have listened to it and keep watching it on YouTube over and over. =)

i bought rain's "It's raining" album and liked about half the songs on there, but felt the other half was too "mainstream american R&B" ish. debating whether to buy his newest album for this same reason...

any thoughts on this? do y'all like rain's newest album? to buy or not to buy?

[xanimeotakux]

soapie: i would buy it. it's not TOO expensive ;) a few songs are more on the hip hop side, but the other songs are ji hoon's singing style. i wouldn't suggest listening to it 24/7, but if you listen to it every few days, it's good =)

[jessica]

fizah: hehe. i agree with your theory ^^ i have a feeling that he'll spoil his daughter :D

karen: you should watch that radio interview! you can probably find a streaming link at joyplace. i've DLed that clip for a few weeks and still haven't watch it fully yet ^^; i did see the part about the dog :D if you liked the echo, you should watch his newest perf on KBS's Love Request! he wore white and sang Friends :love: i'll update in the DL thread ^^ don't you want to keep that talk show in your computer so you can re-watch it? or are you those fans who just DL to watch, then delete the file? :sweat:
ah, i see you have La La La in your siggie. that song finally grew on you?! :excited:

jeannie: does that mean that you'll be going?!!! :excited: keep us updated on your progress with this plan :shifty: yes, those pics were Ayumi's ^^;

soapie: i can't take him seriously. he has a cute sense of humor, so i'll just take it as a joke... for now :whistle: i actually like mainstream R&B music :shy: which songs did you like from It's Raining? his newest album consists of songs from different genres, from ballads to pop dance. it really depends on your taste in music. it took me a while to get used to the beats of some fast songs, like I'm Coming. after watchng the performances so many times, it sounded better. i love all the ballads and mid-tempo R&B songs immediately. those type of music appeal to me =D i haven't listened to American music in years so i don't know if the 4th album will be similar to it or not ^^; i think cuts from his showcase performances are uploaded to youtube. he performed I'm Coming, In My Bed, With U, Friends, and Cassiopeia from his new album.

he left a msg at his joyhompy today!

the subtitles were so small..i gave up leaning towards my computer screen to read them. -__-

ji hoon, you need to take care of yourself also! wear warm clothes, and stay healthy! =)

[panda_shine]

Jessica: Oh ok, I will try to find the radio interview at JP^^; I hope it's subbed!
I watched Love Request! and yes.. *oh my* I loved the performance haha~ I was so happy he performed it since he only performed it in the Showcase. His voice sounded extra nice in that performance! *cloud 9* Did you enjoy it??
hehe, I've only been keeping the performances and talk/game shows he appeared on :sweat: I deleted the radio shows ><;
Btw.. I still haven't downloaded "Hey Hey Hey".. do you know if the hardsubbed will be available?
About the La La La song.. yes it finally did grow on me haha .. after watching the MV and his Music Bank? performance yesterday^^; You'll see my post at the Se7en thread :D

Jeannie: Hope you can go to the LV concert!! I find the subs really small too.. so I guess it's better to d/l it :sweat:

soapie: Yes, I definitely recommend you to buy his 4th album. It's really worth it! Well, for me, I really enjoyed all the songs in it! :happy: Definitely my favorite album from him ^^;

Thanks for the translation for the message, Jess!
It's nice to hear that he's thinking of us!
*runs off to comment on his message*

[jessica]

he won't be at award ceremonies at the end of the year, so he won't be getting any awards =( according to his schedule, he'll fly to the US on the 15th and stay for 10 days to rehearse for the upcoming concerts.

jeannie: i hope that internet friend is someone you can trust, if you can go :sweat:

karen: that radio interview isn't subbed. it's not completely translated yet. you can just watch it along with the translations :-) yes, i loved his Friends perf even without the wings effect! he still looked like an angel to me in that white suit :love: he sounded great too.
don't DL the full Hey Hey Hey show! i was sooo disappointed that he had less than 10 minutes of screen time >< R.I.'s subbing team is will sub the cut version of that show. i'll let you know when it's completed ^^ you can start DLing Sang Sang Plus. Rxgoodleaf will sub that. did you see the preview yet?

061114-Sangsang Plus Episode104 (http://down.clubbox.co.kr/bummie/xqmra) (UL by j.lee@R.I.)

3.movie in the carpark with her with his favorite movies "Notting hill" and "titanic".

Three New Films With Kiss Scenes, Each With Their Own Interesting Areas (Extracted relevant part only...sorry lazy)
14 Nov 06, Sports Chosun
Credit: Biwithrain/Rain International
Kr to Ch: irbi
Ch to Eng: Rayndrop

"I'm a Cyborg, but that's Ok" which will be premiering on the 7th of next month has elicited much discussions even before it goes on the big screen. This film is a new piece of work by Director park Chan Wook who has just drawn a conclusion to his Vengence Trilogy. and the debut movie of global star, Jeong Jihoon a.k.a Rain. in addition to that, there's the participation of Im Soo Jung who is also known as "the gem of Korean movie industry", adding on the the interest factor of this film.

In the midst of all these, the most interesting tidbit is the kiss scene between Jeong Jihoon and Im Soo Jung. Director park Chan Wook has never liked physical contact between the male and female, and this movie was no difference to him. Although this movie is marketed as a "Romantic Comedy", there is no kiss scene in the script. The leading artistes were outraged. Says Im Soo Jung, "Rain and I discussed about this. No matter what, this is a romantic comedy. How can there be no kiss scenes?" There was a plan of rebel. Having progressed to this stage, Director Park Chan Wook had to surrender to their strong voices of protests.

However, upon rolling of the camera, the control of the scene lies in Director Park's hands. Director Park seemed to be entirely convinced by the two and kept yelling, "More passionate!" Jeong Jihoon laughed and said, "The lack of limit was more of a problem. Director Park wanted us to be kiss so passionately even though we're almost swallowing each other up." However, in this film, a kiss is not considered as a kiss. It is merely an act for Im Soo Jung, who believes that she is a cyborg, to recharge her battery.

Awhile ago, I read a comment from someone on Soompi saying he has a gf?! At first I was a bit shock since it was so.. sudden. But it turned out to be false. But I think this time, I am prepared and excited for him. :happy:

ISJ and Ji Hoon seems to have really enjoyed working with one another :happy:

don't have high expectations! but for a start, it's pretty good. i mean he only featured in the song so you can't really judge for sure. i just hope that when he releases his album there will be great improvement because when one sings solo & when one is featured in a song is two different things. hope that didn't sound too critical :worry: i guess i want his debut to be perfect! hahaha.

[xanimeotakux]

OMG, i tried to download a the song "man up" a few weeks ago, but i couldn't find it on limewire! :cry:

my friend called her mom to confirm the LV concert thing, and her mom said they're staying in NY for christmas.. :cry:

panda_shine: if i downloaded it, would there still be subs? o.O OH, YOU CAN ENLARGE IT. lol, i'm so slow XD

jessica:*sigh* plans are ruined, i can't go. =/ and omg, ji hoon's favorite movie is titanic? i like it, we can watch it together.. :blush:

gracecherry: haha, yeah, they won't necessarily "hurt" anyone.. :shifty: oh well, maybe next time. my dreams are crushed. :oops:

[j.C.t]

so i rarely know Rain news until its posted by you lovely people & it seems this time i can give something back. get it quick before its gone. enjoy! hope it works. :happy:

omarion feat RAIN: man up
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BUXMHQIO

[jessica]

joy2127 from rain-usa posted that Sang Sang Plus is in the process of subbing and uploading. i guess we can expect to see it very soon.

grace: hehe. you didn't miss much. that news about liking someone is taken from what he said during Sang Sang Plus that was filmed last week. i posted a brief translation of what he said above your post ^^ he didn't reveal who she is but so many fans hope it to be SHK :D i have cooled down a bit, but i can go back to my hyper fangirl mode when i see you on msn :whistle: yes, i showed her that pic where i was caught on camera during RD in NY ><;;
i'm sure we'll have another round of discussion from the Cyborg kiss soon :rolleyes:

Ira donseng!!! :hugz: you listed all the songs except Friends :D omo! who's that friend that you converted?!!! you must continue feeding her more music and perfs! i've DLed the 2 songs you sent me ^^ those songs are pretty good. i'll listen to them from time to time, hehe <3

karen: apparently, rain-usa will be releasing the hard sub of Sang Sang Plus ^^; i don't know what happened, but the last time i checked Rxgoodleaf was suppose to be subbing it. i hope you didn't DL the show yet :shy: it's still funny if you watch it without subs. he was so talkative and cute in this show! :love:

j.C.t.: thanks for sharing the song ^^ i'm probably one of the few who don't like it, although it might grow on me. i haven't listened to American pop in years so i don't know what to expect from this collab. i was excited about it since he's working with an American artist for the first time, and i wanted him to be recognized here before he debuts. his pronunciation improved a lot since the beginning of the year so i wasn't really worried about his accent. i'm disappointed with the lyrics. one reason why i don't listen to American songs anymore is because of lyrics like that. i felt uncomfortable hearing him say "trippin" and "gangsta" :oops: i hope it doesn't get any worse than that :worry: :cry:

jeannie: aw :console: we'll have other chances of seeing him in the future ^^ he's in the US now! you're closer to him than i am =P it's funny how he likes chick flicks :laughing: i don't mind watching them with him too, but i might not be paying attention to the movie :angel:

[gracecherry]

jess onni > oh so,its from sangsang plus? i see, but still...i m soooo curious who his target is?^^ lol, i hope to see u on msn soon too,well, i hav yet to see the mv, i m sure i will be very excited to see it too! since the caps alone looked soooo *interesting*?:D ahh~ finaly got to see u .....wow u realy looked like u had a hyper time at msg!:rolleyes: yea, i wonder if its shk? coz she is the type he mentioned tat he liked rite? shorter...bitttt plump, but he also said it has changed? and i m getting a feeling that he is very comfortable with ISJ?^^

Karen >though i m not a seven fan,i do drop by his thread sometimes, anonymously?haha...yea...we shall talk about his new album later on...

ira > i got ur msg! thx ya! ommo, some guy huh? lets talk in email .... havent have chain email with u for sometime, send me one for update k? well, my exams are not over yet,and ytd nite....i was veryyy unhappy....family issues that realy troubled me!

teardrop > hey hey chingooo! u have been mia for too long, really hope to talk to you again ..... and miss ur super long post! i wonder if u hav been catching up on bi new clips,and his appearances in sangsangplus?etc???

jeannie > awww~ i gues, i would say the same to u jus as i did to fizah, there will be a nex time, hopefully u would stay as a fan till bi's nex tour??

[xanimeotakux]

j.C.t: yay, thanks so much! :hugz: i get to listen to another new song will ji hoon's hot voice.. :brows:

jessica: omg, he's already in the US now?! just....a..few..hours..away from me.. :oops: yay, maybe next time. he might even perform a bit closer to the bay area..

gracecherry: yeah, hopefully, there's a next time! i'll be a very loyal fan..unless well...he does something that turns me off. like...suddenly eloping with jolin tsai or whatever. LOL, JK. XD he'd never do that :shifty:

[gracecherry]

jess onni > he is in US now? wow,how d u noe?*so resourceful* ahhh~whats he in the states for, concert preparation huh?he mentioned there will be concert stops at a few cities rite? wic ones? i know LV...and?? hmmm...he is soooo far away from where i am>< ~~

about the cyborg kiss~ hhaha, it is to recharge her battery?:shy: i find that notion sooo amusingly funny lol.

jeannie > ^^eloping with jolin? ahhaa, i dont think he has interest in her?hahaa.yea, i wouldnt be able to accept tat too.:D btw, u r non asian rite? white?caucasian?..^^ hhehe, i m happy to see there are quite a number of non asian fans at his concert ,cheering him too too.

[panda_shine]

I heard Man Up! Hmm... it's not bad hehe.. but I think I am took into his Korean songs more :happy:

Jeannie: If you download the hardsubbed copies, it'll come with subs ^^

j.C.t: Didn't know you drop by this thread often.. don't be shy to engage in our convo :excited:

Jessica: I saw a photoshopped picture of him and SHK awhile ago.. it was so.. real.. hehe~ was a bit shock! But like Grace said, I am thinking of ISJ even though it would be interesting if it was SHK.
I am waiting for the hardsubbed copy of Sang Sang Plus to come out :happy:
Did you d/l a clip called Fuji Kantame DX? I didn't d/l yet because I am not sure what it's about? Is it an interview??
I remember him saying "Whaddup" in this recent performance.. it gave me a weird feeling too lol ~

Grace: I am not sure if you read my email yet but I was thinking of ISJ too as his target :excited: ..since they seem to click quite well.. that it's soo cute!! :happy:

[jessica]

grace: oh, that circled pic isn't me :shy: i thought you were referring to another cap i circled a while ago. i'll show you where i was next time when we chat ^^ hehe. i found out about his schedule at his forums. thanks to resourceful fans who translate the news <3 yes, it's for the concert. there isn't any concrete news that he'll hold more concerts in the US. from looking at the tour schedule, i don't see any other stop besides Las Vegas =( he'll have another concert in Thailand in February. i hope Pam will go again :sweat:

like...suddenly eloping with jolin tsai or whatever.
aigoo :D thank goodness that's not likely to happen.

karen: the Fuji Kantame DX clip is like a news clip. it followed him to the stage where he rehearsed for the Asian Next PAX Musica perf, intros of the artists who performed, and a short interview with him at the end. the whole clip is around 6 - 7 minutes. i posted caps at Rain International here (http://z13.invisionfree.com/Rain_International/index.php?showtopic=2029&view=getnewpost). you'll have to join the site to see the whole forum ^^;

bikyo fans were having a field day when this news was posted ^^;
grace, karen: i suspected the person in his heart to be LSJ too, after watching them in a few interviews recently. they seem to have such good chemistry. i love how they were joking around. they will make a very cute couple :love:

Rain Brought food for Song hyegyo

image (http://imgnews.naver.com/image/117/2006/11/17/200611170836211120_1.jpg)

On his upcoming movie "Cyborg but it's ok' which will be shown next month,He visited the filming site of the Movie "Hwang jini" which Song hyegyo is starring in,and gave her a lunchbox.

Everyone was eating snack at the moment when Rain arrived,and greeted the staff and handed the bag(food) to Song hyegyo.

jessica: YES, i'm so glad he has no interest(at least...i hope..) in jolin tsai XD

panda_shine: oh cool. awesome =) i never understood soft subbed episodes. the subtitles never worked on my computer, except for the movie "my sassy girl"

[sweep]

Teardrop belated Happy birthday?

Hi Irina! You like a lot of songs in Rain's album. Yeah, practically the whole album. I like most of the songs too! You should really watch YSMM. It is a funny episode.

I also heard the song of Omarion and rain. I dunno about liking the song but Rain has improved pronunciation. His english is better. I saw Omarion's new MV today. It's not Man Up... I think I like that song better than Man Up.

Jessica, about the GF news. Well, the same as everyone else, I hope it is SHG.

I can't wait to watch the sang sang plus episode.

[gracecherry]

jeannie > ommo, mianhe~~ so, u r chinese? *yay* i m chinese too~ i feels great to have chinese fans here, getting connected from different places^^there is someone else here, besides, jenna & ira who is non-asian, but i forgottt...hmm.*think think*

jess onni > yes i really felt something extraaaa between him and ISJ! something *fishy* ahahah,but y all of sudden gave lunchbox to SHK?awww.tats sooo sweet of him! reminds me of the scene in FH where jie eun sent him kimpap!ooh oops i got the wrong person,the circled pic u showed tes wasnt u?^^, cant wait to see u on msn then! hahaha.

karen&jess > i just saw some of the cyborg press con pics, ISJ looks quite pretty~~ and doll like~ ahh but their height difference is reallllly huge?:D

teardrop > ommo, poor u,soo many assignments~ hope you are not too stressed out over it.i just finished my sem finals, my last paper tis morning,and i dont think i did well~there wasnt enuf time and i was panicking, would have a short 1 mth break only. ahh, i havent been too happy for many reasons.><, oh, ice skating sounds nice too, i also heard that you have met with sveta and you guys had fun? cool.^^ and... of coz ,studies are at 1st place, mayb when u hav time, u can catch up with some clips of bi~

[Pugwash]

I've got my fingers crossed for SHK too. I think they are really suited for each other and the fans from each party really seem to support it. It'd be like Korea's top stars coming together. :)

[panda_shine]

Jessica: I ended up downloading the Fuji Kantame DX clip^^; I didn't know that they had to manually push the board so that he could jump on stage ?!
When I saw those Cyborg interviews, I suspected it was LSJ too.. did you see the part when he was like massaging her shoulders? lol~ :angel: So cute that I was like *ooo* but then after reading about him visiting SHK's film location, I am having second thoughts too.. in fact, I am speculating that it's her too!

Jeannie: If you notice in a lot of the pictures or videos, his eyes aren't proportional.. :tongue: (Eg. the Xtreme CF ^^)
Oh.. the soft subs are the ones you have to download seperately^^

Hi teardrop!! Drop by soon! :wave:

Grace: Me too.. SHK just seems to have popped up right after I suspected it was ISJ, lol. :D But now from the article, it seems like he's always been in touch with her ever since filming. *hmm* Oh, and the clip I saw (and mentioned in the email), SHK and Ji Hoon have quite a height difference too.. and that also reminds me of a time when Ji Hoon said "I used to like girls similar height but after filming dramas, I don't really mind the height difference." :hmm: :shifty:

Pugwash: It's nice to hear from a SHK fan about the SHK + Bi relationship :happy:

About "Man Up", I heard that it'll only be in the UK version due to marketing reasons, but I don't really understand why though?
And I also heard that it'll be the 3rd or 4th single release for Omarion's cd.. which sounds exciting :happy:

I am seriously driving myself crazy here thinking about Ji Hoon's relationship lol... Before I was thinking.."Is it ISJ?". Then it become.. "ISJ or SHK? ".. I think now, it's more.. "Is it SHK??" I can't wait until Ji Hoon comes back from the US :shifty:

[xanimeotakux]

gracecherry: haha, yeah, i'm chinese :P and there's tons of chinese people on this website. i'm guessing..about..60%? :wink2:

panda_shine: O_O wow. i never knew they were disproportional...was that from his genes? o.O

i know i have to download softsubs separately, but when i put both show and subtitles in the same file, it won't show up :dry:

please! song hye gyo! i know her better, so i really hope ji hoon likes song hye gyo! =)

[ker_ai_teresa]

i know i have to download softsubs separately, but when i put both show and subtitles in the same file, it won't show up :dry:
you have to make sure that both the video and sub file are compatible. some soft subs are made specifically for HQ/MQ/LQ clips. then you have to make sure that both the files have the exact same name, THEN you have to have a program that will play the soft subs simultaneously as you watch the vid. GOM player can do that, or else you have to DL some other program that will play the subs on your standard WMP. hope that helps. :wink2:


so what's up with Bi these days? I've gotten out of the loop again. ><;; been catching up with all the xman shows I've DLed in the past but never bothered to watch.
I miss shinhwa. =(

so what's this about SHG? :?

[xanimeotakux]

ker_ai_teresa: yeah, i tried and downloaded GOM player, didn't work =/

ji hoon visited SHG while she was filming and gave her a lunch(that he made!) :P

speaking of new news...here's a clip of the making of their movie, and an interview!

making of the movie: http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=51137497990B61A6

interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXUPh6TDQk4

[teardrop]

sandy: thx yea it was my b'day last thurs (16th nov)

grace: aww i'm sure you did well, i mean you always put your all into whatever you decide to do la! yes i met up w. sveta a while ago and turns out that she live like literally down the road from my best friend which is good bc i go and visit him all the time so that means i can come and drop by her flat and say hello. sveta will also be coming ice skating as well but i hope she will be ok la. since she's been at uni she's become a lot more confident in her self which is really good bc i i'm a little worried as i'm bring a lot of friends round 20ish and i won't be able to be with her all the time, hopefully she'll be able to mingle with my friends and not be intimidated as i've got a really big variety of friends ranging from like 30 to goths and punks to really old school friends so hopefully it'll be ok but i might invite olga along just to give sveta that extra support but we'll see how it goes. i should really call her and see how she reacts to the number of ppl coming. so you get a months break! lucky you! you can at least relax a little with the new clips from oppa and then tackle everything head on AJA AJA!!!!!

karen: i'll try and pop in now and again just to keep a float with everything!

[jessica]

i know the majority is rooting for SHK because they're huge fans of FH and/or became a bi-kyo fan after the drama. i haven't seen much Bi/SHK interviews except those from FH and that short clip of the KBS Drama award ceremony, and they always seem so awkward and shy around each other... maybe it's because of those rumors that they were dating so they were trying to avoid any scandalous reports. i don't know if he'll reveal who she is anytime soon. there are many fans who can't accept it ><;

jeannie: they've been good friends since FH. i'm surprised that there is news now about something like this, after all this time they've been friends. makes me suspect if he's trying to give hints to the person he's trying to confess to.. or if it's just a publicity stunt :hmm:
oh, his eyes are always not proportioned. you should notice during FH too =P if you want soft subs to show up, you'll either have to DL a media player that supports it or resort to vobsub ^^ did you try BS Player?

teardrop: happy belated birthday! :hugz: hehe. you can tell me your interesting story via email. you might type up a looong one again =P take care of yourself, you poor girl :console:

sandy: did you see Omarion's new MV on MTV? there was unofficial news in the past that said he went to LA to shoot the MV for Man Up. i hope that's true.

grace: i felt their vibe during those interviews too! this is the first time i see him so relaxed and playful next to his partner. so many speculations and unanswered questions... i hope Ji Hunnie is prepared to answer them when he comes back :sweat: LSJ is around the same height as SHK ^^
that pic that Tes posted was circled by her because that girl looked so excited :D

karen: he was always manually pushed to spring up from under the stage. i found out during the Road to Japan documentary. he seems to like doing that a lot :D i did see that clip where he was massaging her shoulders! i think the interviewer asked her what she thought about his 4th album, keke~
his new Mnet Special perf was better than the previous one. he was more playful and the sound quality was better. the screaming was less filtered out this time :D

Tes: on Sangsang Plus, he said that he has someone in his heart now (yet to be confirmed. still waiting for subs). then there is that news that he visited SHK in the filming location of her new movie late at night on an unofficial special day, and he prepared/made her a lunchbox. to thank him, she walked him back to the parking lot. a number of fans are speculating that she's the one in his heart and that he's trying to confess to her ^^;

translation from one of the Cyborg press cons.
[10 Nov 06] Cyborg Press Conference
Credit: ent.tom.com// baidu.com// qiqi@biwithrain
Kr to Ch: ‰Ä“V (xiatian); Edited by ˆ¢‘æ (Ah Di)
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

9th November, 11am. Movie "I'm a Cyborg but that's Ok" press conference was held at Imperial Palace Hotel, Seoul. Well-known director Pak Chan Wook appeared at the event together with leading actress Im Soo Jung and leading actor Jeong Jihoon. Pak Chan Wook, Rain and Im Soo Jung can be viewed as three of the most popular figures in the Korean entertainment industry today. This point alone was sufficient to attract the media's attention.

"I'm a Cyborg but that's Ok" is a romantic comedy which speaks of a love story based in an asylum between a girl, Young-gun (played by Im Soo Jung) who thinks she's a cyborg, and a guy, Il-sun, who does not care that Young-gun is a cyborg.

Director Pak enjoys significant popularity overseas because of the two movies directed, "Sympathy for Lady Vengence" and "Old Boy". The movie this time is entirely different from Director pak's usual style. It is a movie filled with elements of science fiction and romance. During the press conference, Director Pak expressed that he has been wanting to do a new movie with an entirely fresh concept that is more light-hearted. He is filled with anticipation for this new piece of work.

The other limelight of this movie is the participation of the Korean entertainment industry's "heavenly king and queen". Im Soo Jung's popularity has been surging in Korea recently, while Rain's singing performance career is at its peak. Im Soo Jung joked and said that she plays a girl who has mental problems. Since nobody is able to understand her, she can act in whichever weird ways she likes. Rain continued to maintain his gentle and humble demeanor and said, "I'm very happy to be working with Director Park and Im Soo Jung. I'm grateful to the crew members who gave him plenty of assistance. We believe the partnership between the two will ignite much brilliant sparks.

Q: You have many scenes in the movie when you mumble to yourself. Do you do that normally?

Im Soo Jung: I don't have that habit (laughs)! At the beginning, I didn't know how I was going to act this part. Later, Director Pak told me to imagine that I'm actually a cyborg who is only capable of communicating with lifeless people, to imagine non-living things as living friends.

Q: What did you gain from the process of filming this movie?

Jeong Jihoon: The movie woke up many dusty memories of mine. The side of my character which has been ignored has surfaced once again. Il-sun's stubborness, cuteness, youthful rashness and innocence belong to a side of me which I rarely show. Through the playing of this character, I found myself again. Also, Il-sun is a guy with a strong sense of responsibility. He's always looking out for others. This is something that touches me very much.

Q: Please tell us why you decided to cast Rain and Im Soo Jung?

Pak Chan Wook: I've always been hoping for a chance to rope Rain in for my project. The first time I saw him was at the voice-dubbing session for "Sympathy for Lady Vengence". He was there to look for Lee Young-Ae, and was quietly watching us work from aside, secretly learning. At that time, I thought to myself, "A hardworking young man as such will most certainly make it big one day. Although I've never found the right opportunity for us to work together, but I've never stopped paying attention to him. Im Soo Jung is one of the female actresses whom I like a lot. In particular, her performance in the drama serial "School 4" left a deep impression on me. I've always been monitoring her progress. Through the years, her acting has matured significantly. When I decided to do a project with a youthful theme, she's the first person I thought of.

Q: What is the message you are hoping to convey to viewers through this movie?

Jeong Jihoon: I hope that after watching this movie, people will look forward to a wonderful life from the bottom of their hearts, and pay more concern to mental patients. We often discriminate against mental patients, but the truth is, they are a lot more simple and innocent compare to us. They possess the utmost innocence qualities of normal people. We shouldn't discriminate against and give up on them. Instead, we should give them more concern.

Q: The OST of this movie "Lullaby" is performed by you. It's very nice.

Jeong Jihoon: This is the first time I'm singing a lullaby since my debut. Lullabies are not difficult to sing, but the person singing it must sing it from his/ her heart. You need to sing it with a heart full of love to console the person you love deeply.

[ker_ai_teresa]

Jess--> ohhh....I see.....so are there avid BiKyo fans in here? :unsure:
coz to tell the truth, I'm not really a fan of them together. their characters matched in Full House, but in real life, I can't see them together. SHG seems to me like she needs a much older guy than JiHun....but that's just my judgement of course. :angel:
not to mention Hunnie seems to be the type to like wild girls who fanticise about ripping his shirt to shreads......:whistle:

xanimeotakux--> too bad then. I suppose you'll just have to make do with reading the subs on notepad.

[gracecherry]

helllooo.

jess ,Karen > i have a feeling that the candidate may be ISJ^^ haha, theres just something fishy between the two, they are over comfortable with each other.hahaa, bi wud look realy cute with shk,but i agree that they are realy great as onscreen couple in fh,but in the real life, its hmm...i guess they are more like really good buddy? haha...

jess > oh i see....so were u as excited as that gurl? ahahaha, hoping to see on msn soooon onni.

Karen > i guess its not imposible to be teaching in SK, even if i am not from native eng speaking nations, as long as i do speak English as one of my spoken language, and if i qualify for their requirements, i still have the chance.I found a very established recruiter and read alot about their operations. and i guess , i will keep trying~

teardrop > chingooo~ its so thoughtful of u to consider if sveta wud fit in ur group of friends. yea, i gues, sometimes it may be quite hard to click with people you are totally new to, but i gues she will know best herself.heeheh. hmm, yea i have things to ...plan this short break. and hopefully.... i get to meet new and good oppurtunities.hahaah....

jeannie > yeap yeap...lotsa of asians here.

[jessica]

Tes: hmm.. i don't think there's any bi-kyo fanatics here ^^; i'm hoping it's another girl, but i won't be devastated if it is really her. lol. he'll probably not want a wild girl as a gf. he has enough of them during concerts :D :tongue:
did you listen to his collab with Omarion yet?

grace: i was as excited as that girl, but i didn't react that way ^^; you'll have a one month break soon? i'll catch you on msn then :excited:

i doubt this news will convince anyone :sweat:

Agencies Try to Clarify Rumours on Rain and Song Hye Kyo
20 Nov 06, Sina eNews // newsens&joins
Credit: irbi@biwithrain//Rain International
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Lately, Rain and Song Hye Kyo's frequent contact has renewed a round of rumours. Media and viewers alike have been guessing if the mystery girl mentioned by Rain is indeed Song.

Rain and Song began their fate in 2004, in the drama "Full House" which achieved 40% viewership in Korea. Although one and a half year has gone by, the Full House crew, including Rain and Song are still in frequent contact, there emerged close friendship bonds.

According to an inside source, the production crew meets up for a gathering once every two months where Director Pyo participates in the gathering as well. According to Director Pyo, "The atmosphere while we were filming was very good, and the actors grew to be very close. They've been meeting up with each other very often lately, and they share a very close relationship." This gathering was suggested by Director Pyo. Now, as actors grew closer to each other, their own-arranged activities become more frequent.

Rain, who is now busy with his world tour, had visited Song at the filming site of "Hwang Jin-I" and brought her a lunchbox. This created much speculations within the media and audiences. Because of this, both agencies are stressing that the two are merely friends, and are not of the kind of relationship everybody is speculating about.

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: they're a great couple! ^_^ i wish so badly that he would confess his feelings to her..if he has any >.< *gasps* ji hoon wouldn't do a publicity stunt..would he? he won't sink THAT low would he..? O_O

i've downloaded vobsub =( no luck. i guess my computer's super weird like that. :cry:

ker_ai_teresa: lol, i've resulted to downloading the raw episode and putting that above a broswer on youtube, which have the subtitles, lol XD

gracecherry: haha, yeah. when you think of jay, you think of a million asian fans, with one or two other race fans here and there, lol

[jessica]

i meant the news about him going to SHK's filming site being a publicity stunt, not his actions :tongue: before Sangsang Plus aired, there was news that said he confessed he has someone in his heart. some fans who watched it said they didn't hear such a thing. it was concluded that it was just a commerical to attract more viewers.

a few days later, the news about him visiting SHK came out which happened a week ago before the show aired. if its' such a big deal, it'll come out sooner, shouldn't it? i just find it strange and convenient for the press to spread this news when he's not there to clear things up. i'm sure he's smart enough not to reveal who that person in his heart is any time soon (if there really is someone), esp. when his top priority is his world tour.... speculations can get out of hand sometimes ^^;

oh.. erm. you should try BS Player =D did you try watching other videos using vobsub? what is your default player? if you're using wmp, only avi or mpg files will work. for other formats such as wmv, asf, rmvb, you'll need to use media player classic <3

[soapie]

ahh.. these posts and updates are so entertaining...

everyone is so nice and hospitable here. i feel so welcomed, as a new rain fan. =) y'all are awesome. =)

animeotaku, jessica, pandashine.. thanks for your recommendation!! after carefully giving it some thought, i think i will buy rain's 4th album. (what the heck, why not?) although i don't always like his songs initially on the first play (like i do jay's song), the more i replay them, the more i like them.

random response to previous posts...

1) did someone say rain is in the u.s.? what state? hahahaah. =) what's he in the US for?

2)i secretly hope he likes SHK too! i think they look good together. i'm curious to see who is actual girl interest is. i wonder if she is a celebrity or a civilian? do ya'll think a celebrity could fall in love with a civilian? (hmm.. similar to FH scenario eh?)

[gracecherry]

soapie > he is in the U.S now for preparation of his world tour, maybe finalizing with production and stage ideas,etc.for ur second question, heehe, many of us here are thinking that the girl is ISJ~the actress of his new movie, 'I am a Cyborg,but thats ok'.

jess onni > hmm, yea, i m quite surprise too that bi wud visit SHK, but i think its realy quite ok for him to visit her just for the fact that they did got to noe each other better after filming FH.and maybe ji hunnie had a crush on her too? but that the ideal woman is now another lady?ahahah:D i m aredy on my break.and i m sure time flies and it would be over in no time.:oops:

jeannie > yes, i recalled the time when i went for his HK concert! it was amazing coz he held 7 days consecutive and everyone was sold out.i went only to one day,but it was very memorable still.^^ and also reminds me when i met him....during the initial d premiere, almost everyone was anticipating his presense more than the others.^^ i always think that artists who are famous can realy unite ppl together.

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: hm, i see...i hope it's not a publicity stunt then. :oops: maybe he REALLY visited SHK out of friendliness..:shifty:

the video player i usually use is this..french one. O_O it works really well though! :excited: it's called..mplayerc :glug: and the icon is that..thingy that people use to say "cut!" during filming. and on the icon says 321, lol

soapie: i hope you'll enjoy the cd! yeah, for certain artists, you have to listen to the songs over and over to start liking it, lol XD sometimes, i don't have the feeling of liking the song instantly too, lol

gracecherry: wow, you got to see jay live?! i envy you! =D the only time i see him on the u.s. tv is during the horse awards. that's when i first recognized him last year! i can't wait to see him again this year! =)

[rachelle03]

:wave: Annyo chingoos!

I've read about the Bi-Kyo-Kimbap scandal. :evil: I guessed it's just the hype that we do love the FH couple to be together. Somehow I prefer the ISJ-Bi couple. They looked so cute isnt it? :love: But, oh well, it's his matters. Let's not pressurised him. lol.

I was watching an old clip of him when he went to HK for It's Raining last year and I missed his long wispy hair. You know, the one with the long white shirt and a vest. :love:

[jessica]

the hard subbed Sang Sang Plus is up for DL! it's posted at rain-usa and soompi. most likely it'll be uploaded to youtube soon ^^ now we can finally confirm if he said he has someone in his heart --;

info posted a few days ago on what "actually" happened when he visited the filming site of Hwang Jini (SHK's new project):


Hi~ I just want to tell Rain's fans that Rain did not delivered lunch box or kimbap to Song, I heard it from korean fans that the movie advertising media just created the story of delivering lunch box, and Rain was just there at the filming place and w/ only drinks and just visited Song b/c she is filming new movie and I also heard that some Cyborg staffs are now working in the movie Song's filming. so maybe he was also visiting those staffs. So don't make any deals out of this..

grace: from what i gather, Ji Hunnie and the FH staff (+ SHK) has been meeting up from time to time. i don't know how close their "friendship" is, but this is the first time i see news on them being blown up at soompi. btw, it's only one article on that incident in Korea. not sure if it trickled down to the Chinese news yet. there are too many bi-kyo fans on soompi and their desire to see them as a couple are making them scrutinize his every move and intentions ^^; omo! you're on your break now?!! :excited: i'll look for you on msn soon ^^

jeannie: that's the player i was referring to! mplayerc = media player classic ^^ vobsub will definitely work. that's what i usually use when i watch videos with soft subs. you can even import the subs from a different folder/location, but you'll need to tweak with the default setting.

rach: i didn't expect to see so many who would prefer LSJ over SHK. now you're added to that growing list :D which clip where you referring to? he went to HK so many times that i don't even remember what he wore for what occasion :oops: :shy:

here's some interesting news :-)

Director Park: Drenched by the Rain
19 Nov 06, Chosun Sports
Kr to Ch: wwrain
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Jihoon in Director Park's eyes:

1. Carefree
2. No vices
3. No secrets
4. Down-to-earth
5. Smart with fast reflex
6. Great acting skills

When the movie "Cyborg" was about to show, Director Park Chan Wook kept smiling. This is not his first his first or second movie, but this time, it feels like he's awarded with a special prize. That's because the censorship board rated this movie as "12 and above". Director Park has been working hard to make this a movie which fathers can take their daughters to. In the past, he had believed that "Sympathy for Lady Vengence" would be rated 15 and above, but he was dealt with a blow. So this time, it's double joy for him. To Director Park, this is a new challenge - his first attempt to film a movie with a youthful theme, and at the same time, it's Rain (Jeong Jihoon)'s first big-screen movie....(omitted)

Q: This time, the participation of Rain attracted much attraction. How did you two first meet?

park: I got to know about Rain through Park Jinyoung. Once, when we were having dinner with some other people, Park Jinyoung started handing out CDs, one for each person. The CD says "Rain". I thought it was the name of the featured song. Later, I learnt that it was the name of the singer, and I thought, "What a strange name." I think it was the time he made his debut and was starting his promotional activities.

Q: How did you first discover Rain's acting skills?

Park: During one of the movie award ceremony, I saw him dancing with Lee Hyori. You could tell the kind of vitality he possesses. He doesn't just dance well, but has a showmanship like that of Michael Jackson. You could easily imagine him in a movie. During the ceremony, I saw the looks and unwavering attention the actresses were giving him, and I thought, "He is a charismatic youth indeed!" But at that time, I thought, "When can we work together? I guess the possibility is not great..." So I let it go at that...

Q: How fated are you and Rain?

Park: During the sound dubbing for "Sympathy for Lady Vengence", Rain came to visit our production team. After work, we went for a drink together. We had drinks together again during the VIP movie premier. Because Sung Kang-ho and Chol Min-chi like him a lot, so I unconsciously, I trusted him too. At first when I was preparing to film a movie with youthful theme, my mind was all filled with images of Rain. I didn't have time to go think about other actors. It's exactly the same case when I was filming "Sympathy for Lady Vengence". The first person I thought of was Lee Young-ae.

Q: Now that you know Rain, what do you think of this person?

Park: Carefree, no vices, no hidden secrets, very down-to-earth. He's exactly who he is when you see him normally. There's no feeling of a dark, hidden side. His character is uniform inside-out. I want to let all these show through the movie.

Q: How's Rain as an actor?

Park: He can feel very well. In acting, it is very important to be able to grasp the moments. Because he is very smart, he understands what I tell him very quickly, and can express the things I want.

Q: What's the story behind choosing Im Soo Jung as Rain's co-actress?

Park: Rain suggested it. He said he hopes for Im Soo Jung to take up this role. I naturally agree with him. :excited:

[gracecherry]

karen & jess onni > quote : Park: Rain suggested it. He said he hopes for Im Soo Jung to take up this role. I naturally agree with him. ~now now~ my thoughts are floating.....
quote : His character is uniform inside-out
*i very much agree to this!!*

jess onni > ahhh~ its alrite with me,whether he did or did not deliver the lunch box to shk,whether jus visiting her or the staffs, either way, its a sweet gesture.heehe.nothing much is mentioned her,but the ent news did report ,jus ONCE, about the lunchbox thingy,and the host was saying about how niceee he was to do so.?heeh.yea.cant wait to see u on msn !!! ahhh~i wana see the pic la,hahaa,and ommo i jus saw the new giordano pics,they are sooooo GOOOOOD,*nan nomu choayo*

jeannie >yea it was great to be there at his concert,eeheeh, was realllly,so happy,i went with a net pal i met over the net ,and she got me the tics, jus a few days before i confirm i m flying to HK.so nice of her.and i love the perfs where he plays the piano, i was very impressed by him singing ge qian,my fav song.ehhee, and the 2nd time, i met him up close ,in KL,for the initial d premiere,coz i won a contest, and so, i can see he is jus so shy.still~haha...oooops, wrong convo in wrong thread here*mianhe* ehehe

[xanimeotakux]

jessica: oh, lol XD i really like the player, even though it's in french, lol. i could watch my sassy girl with the softsubs, but not the other drama. maybe it'll work next time. =/

gracecherry: OMG, YOU WON A CONTEST? wow...did you get to take a pic with jay? =D yeah, some internet pals are good enough to trust, unlike those that are aired on tv. *cough*

lol, we're so bad..talking about jay on a ji hoon thread :shy:

[junnleenfaah]

heyy rain lovers (: okay, sorry for being such a scrub & barging into yalls conversation but i was reading up in jaychou_21's thread & he posted omarion's song "man up" featuring rain. first of all, i think it's sooo cool that somebody like omarion would want to collab with rain, but the only thing that makes me wonder is that i see the track appearing on the UK track listing, but not on the US one. why is that?? i think it'd be pretty cool if bi emerged into our western music society

[panda_shine]

So many posts! Didn't realized that I haven't dropped by for soo long!

Hmm... so the article that Jess posted is actually the truth? But yeah like, Grace.. I am actually not sad or anything if it's not SHK.. hehe~

Jeannie: I am not really sure if his eyes are from his genes.. probably not??

Jessica: I was just watching the clip of Bi and SHK at the KBS Drama award ceremony awhile ago and was ranting about it to Grace lol~ I didn't notice that ISJ was on the stage too^^;
Oh and I saw another Cyborg interview clip where both Bi and ISJ was laughing and the way ISJ kinda touch Bi's arms.. it was so cute!
Yay.. Glad to hear that SSP is out in hardsubbed <3 Gotta d/l it later ^^; Have you watched it yet??

not to mention Hunnie seems to be the type to like wild girls who fanticise about ripping his shirt to shreads.....
lol! So like Ms.Orange-ish?! For me.. I always feel that he wants someone the opposite ^^;

soapie: Yay.. do share us about your thoughts after listening to Rain's World ^^
I think he's in LA^^
Hmm I think it might be someone in the industry.. or if not, at least someone who works with Bi behind the scenes or something?

Rach: I kind of miss his longer hair at times too! But I am fine with the short hair too ^^;

Grace: That quote... I am having thoughts in my head now too. I wonder when Bi and ISJ first meet??? ... he must have known her well since he suggested ISJ to be in the role?

Jen: I was wondering that too since he'll be debuting in the US market in the future.. but so far I only know it's in the US track list instead of UK one is due to "marketing reasons".

[ker_ai_teresa]

lol! So like Ms.Orange-ish?! For me.. I always feel that he wants someone the opposite ^^;

really??? I'm surprised.
For a long time now he's given the impression of a "bad boy."
bad boys go for "bad gals".........no?

I guess we'll never know until he finally flashes a girlfriend out in the public eye. ^0^

[jessica]

I heard that he will be doing an encore concert in the US in these cities next year feb
New York,LA and Toronto.
And Star M and JYPE are reconsidering his concert in Hawaii on the 30th and UAE.

adfjdskjfdskfj;sddjf!!!!!!!!!!!!! Karen and Jeannie, start saving up now! :bounce: when i thought about the price, my excitement kind of went down a bit ^^; February is our anniversary <3 maybe he'll be here on Valentines Day! :excited: *wishful thinking*

he'll appear on Music Core's Goodbye Special on the 25th and will be performing 3 songs (I'm Coming, Friends, With U). on the 26th he'll perform on Music Bank's Goodbye Special (I'm Coming and Touch Ya).

grace: so it made it to the Chinese news too? ^^; there are a lot of new pics you should see, esp. the recent ones with LSJ! :love:

jeannie: i think you can change the language because mine is in English ^^; if one file works, the others should too. just make sure that the filenames match and in the same folder.

junnleenfaah: barge in anytime you like :D we welcome all members, fan or otherwise ^^ the story behind the collab goes back to the beginning of this year when Bi held his Rainy Day concert in NY. they kept dropping hints that we'll see more of them together during the concert and at TRL. i guess they're referring to this collab. i'm not sure if it's true but they shot a MV too. there were some legal issues involved with the leaking of the song. i'm not going to elaborate too much since you might not know what i'm talking about ^^; you'll be seeing him and Se7en, along with a couple of Korean artist debuting in the US next yeat :-)

karen: it's true that he visited the filming site, but the part about him bringing food he prepared for SHK is still a mystery. i quoted someone who heard from Korean fans on what actually happened in my previous post ^^ he really didn't mention that he has someone in his heart at SSP. evil marketing strategy, i'd say. it brought so much hype to his fans.. :oops: i only watched up to part 2. i'll probably finish it tomorrow =D why were you ranting about the KBS Drama award ceremony? yes, LSJ was also there because MISA aired not long after FH. she was sitting directly in front of him when he was performing I Do.
we probably saw the same interview clip! Ji Hunnie messed up his greeting and LSJ burst out laughing :love:

here are some youtube clips that might interest you. these are also available to DL at bummie's box (look for direct links in the DL thread) ^^

jess onni >i have seen the recent ones with LSJ,did u mean the one of the press con? eheh,i think they look so cute!! and ommo,i just recalled bout the best couple award back then, when bi and shk went on stage, so was SJS and LSJ~ ommo, he already noticed her back then? ahahha:D :rolleyes: i just thought bout it now,as i ate with an aunty today,and she told me bout LSJ being with SJS in MISA,and i was like...ommo...coz i didnt realy notice LSJ looking like tat,ive only seen her wif the cyborg image~:D

Karen >ommo, i just saw this american reality show 'so u can dance?' hav u seen? i have to say thoes ppl there were amazing! each unique~ and they sure can dance, and i recall what bi always said,that there are many others who are much better than him, more talented than him, and that he'll always keep learning to improve himself...i can relate to what he mean now.there are realy amazing hidden talents in many many ppl out there!

[junnleenfaah]

karen- "marketing reasons"? meh. why cant everybody just get alonggggg & let our rain make it hot in the U.S. *sigh*

jessica- haha, thanks for the warm welcome :D wait, so did omarion show up at rain's concert? or was rain just saying that there'll be future collabs with him or something like that? aaahhh how exciting to see them debuting in the US. it's finally time we get a little bit more diverse in the US music industry with some asian soul in there.

i wonder how americans will react to their fashion style. *reminisces about rain's wardrobe in full house* hahahahaha oh dear..

[xanimeotakux]

for some reason, i totally forgot rain's wardrobe from full house. O_O i do remember SHK's though :cry:

gracecherry: haha, cool! =D i don't think there will be any contests in the u.s. to meet jay in the near future :oops: lol, i was on tv once in 4th grade. about 5 seconds XD lol, yeah, i didn't know he had non-proportional eyes until now. i'm slow XD

jessica: AHHHH, LA?! omgomogmomg, that's...6 hours away. :dry: but...if it's during a break for february, maybe i can go! :excited:

hm, i see. i'll keep that in check for the files next time :happy:

panda_shine: hm, that's interesting.. O_O. i always though most of the features are hereditary.. o.O

jennifer: hi! :wave: hm, i'm guessing omarion's "man up" song isn't as popular in the u.s.? :worry:

[panda_shine]

Teresa: heh~ Yeah.. I guess I had that impression because before he always had crushes on noonas and I remember he said one reminded him of his mother? :sweat:

Jessica: Aww you got me a little excited there for a moment, hehe. But I actually live on the west coast of Canada >< *ahh* However, it's nice to hear that Canada will possibly be included in the tour!! I really thought that Canada would not be in JYPE's mind at all :sweat:
I read about the legal issues about the leak of the song >< But in a way, I guess something like this is sort of unavoidable since it seems like *most* non Asian songs are always leaked before it's even released.
aww~ I am a bit sad to hear that he didn't mention he has someone at heart. We will all so excited for him hehe.
Oops, 'ranting' isn't the right word.. we were just discussing about the actions of Bi and SHK (at the KBS award ceremony)^^;

Grace: Wow, your Aunt knows who LSJ is and everything?!
Oh yes, I've seen "So You Think You Can Dance?" but I don't watch it often :tongue:

Jen/Jeannie: lol~ Yeah, I don't think the Americans will like the Full House wardrobe lol but I am sure they'll like the "I'm Coming" look.. and his other sophisticated/dressier outfits ^^;

[junnleenfaah]

jeannie- i dont think so because i never even heard of the song until checking brent's thread. it's not even gunna be on the U.S track listing for omarion's album apparently :worry: but i personally love this upbeat track. who knows though, maybe it'll be a breakthrough song in the U.S. keep your fingers crossed (:

karen- hahaha, i can only imagine what they'll say with that hideous lime green + purple top he wore in one of the earlier episodes of FH. *shudders* but yeah.. mm, bi in the "i'm coming" MV is.. amazing. hahaha *sigh* i love that MV + song

[ker_ai_teresa]

for some reason, i totally forgot rain's wardrobe from full house. O_O

:laughing:
I think forgetting his FH wardrobe is a good thing. :whistle:

meh. I have nothing to be excited about. :bigyawn:
He'll never come to aust for a concert.

[xanimeotakux]

.....ji hoon's wardrobe in full house was all suits right? O_O

ker_ai_teresa: hey, you're not the only one. he'll never come to san francisco to perform. T_T only LA and vegas. =.=

jen: eh?! i thought "man up" was the bonus track on omarion's cd O_O personally, it wouldn't really be a favorite of mine. all i understand when they're "singing" is "man up" =.=

panda_shine: ji hoon's dancing in "i'm coming" is very..american-ish. lol, so they might like it?

[junnleenfaah]

tes- hahaha, good point. how funny would that be if a whole bunch of americans suddenly became hooked on kdrama? ahhhh, the day that it comes.. haha

jeannie- oh is it a bonus track? maybe it is.. // he wore some suits throughout the series but when he was dressed more casually, it was, umm.. i think this face could only describe it: :crazy:

[jessica]

he won the Best Male Solo Award at MKMF yesterday!!!!! :excited: :bounce: :yeah: i'm surprised that they gave it to him since he wasn't there. anyway, his hard work over the past 2 years has paid off! <333

did anyone watch his Music Core Touch Ya perf 2 days ago? i absolutely loved it! i rarely see him so covered up. you'll probably get a Pantech feel from watching it because he wore black and red again. the choreography was great! he sounded sick though. i wonder if he got a cold or something... and he wasn't in a good mood :worry:

grace: even more recent than that! they were featured in a couple of magazines!! look in the pics thread =P i posted mostly thumbnails since some scans were huge. let me know if you need the direct links ^^ hehe. they probably met during the KBS Drama Awards :whistle: you need to watch MISA! LSJ was really adorable in that drama <3

junnleenfaah: yes, Omarion was a guest at his concert and he even showed up at TRL after his performances. he didn't specify what they had in store for us. you can find that clip at youtube if you're curious of what he said ^^
those hideous outfits in FH were not his style, but YJ's :tongue: i'm worried of what he wears onstage in the past rather than what he wore for the role he played in a drama ^^; he has pretty good fashion, most of the time =x

jeannie: we need to brace ourselves for the ticket prices, if it is going to happen. will your parents object if it's going to cost around the prices for his LV concerts? :sweat:
how can you forget his style in FH?! it was such a shock for me to see him in some outfits ><;

karen: aigoo :oops: will you be crazy enough to take a trip to LA? ^^;

tes: don't be so pessimistic =P he did get offers from Australia :rolleyes: let's see what happens next year!

the news about his extra concerts next year

Rain in US Preparing for "Thank You Concert"
24 Nov 06, Sports Chosun (Chinese)
Credit: Rainhk.com | Jinlees@soompi | rain international
Ch to Eng: rayndrop

Asian Megastar Rain is currently preparing for his "Thank You Concert", slated to happen in Vegas during May next year.

Rain will become the first Korean artiste to hold a global concert tour when he holds his US Vegas Concert on the 23rd and 24th December this year at the Caesar Palace. Although the concert has not kicked off formally, various concert venues in Las Vegas have approached Rain in hope of becoming the organiser for his "Thank You Concert".

A representative of Star M, the company in charge of producing this global concert tour, revealed their intention to have a mega-scale "Thank You Concert". Caesar Palace is able to accommodate 3,800 pax, but the concert location required must be able to hold at least 150,000 pax. If the concert in December is a means to break into the most popular tourist city in the US and not to make profit, then the "Thank You Concert" must be able to take in considerable amount of profit to prove that Rain has indeed made the leap and become a global star.

Tickets for the December concerts have been sold out. This is an indication of Rain's popularity in the US. At the same time, the Global Concert Tour schedule is now more or less complete. With the Las Vegas performance as a kick off, he will be holding concerts in Hawaii in December, as well as China and Japan next year. In February, he will also be holding his concerts in New York, Toronto, Las Vegas and other parts of US.

In order for Rain to truly become a global star, they are now considering if they want to extend the global tour to cover an even bigger area on the world map. They are now preparing to hold a Korean singers concert in Dubai. The Commonwealth of Australia has also extended their invitation to Rain.

In addition, Rain is now in negotiation with an airline company. The dancers and crew members together with Rain make up a force of 70 members. Airline expenses for the crew alone is expected to reach 4 billion won. In addition, the transportation expenses will add on to expenses significantly.

The represenative from Star M says, "The plane body will be painted with Rain's Coming World Tour promotional message. This expense alone will incur about 3 million won. If we can improve the airline company's image with the help of Rain, using the airplane as a promotion tour may be a good proposal."

how funny would that be if a whole bunch of americans suddenly became hooked on kdrama?
ohh I was checking Myspace's groups like kdramas etc.. and I actually see a lot of non-Asians very into Korean entertainment! :happy:

Jessica: I d/l-ed the Touch Ya perf. but didn't watch it yet but I saw the screencap.. but I prefer his other outfits more hehe~
I watched Part I of the Sang Sang Plus.. it was soo funny especially when they joked about the N.Korean leader and Bi haha. :D
I don't think I'll be able to go to LA either.. I think it would click with my uni schedule and then finance would be a problem :oops: Oh, you know I've even see the local Chinese paper promoting Bi's concert in LV! It was like in a travel agency ad ^^; Sometimes travel agencies like to promote whoever is playing in LV and put it as their tour package.

Grace: Like I told Jess, I don't think I'll be going to his Feb concert... I live in the west coast of Canada and Toronto is more in the mid-east.. :oops:

[xanimeotakux]

Tickets for the December concerts have been sold out.
i remember doing some "fake buying" on ticketmaster.com and i remember i couldn't get past the order tickets part. >.< wow, he really is getting popular in the US. O_O i bet all of the fans are probably asian though :bleh:

In February, he will also be holding his concerts in New York, Toronto, Las Vegas and other parts of US.
what's with him and las vegas?! >:O other cities are very popular too..like san francisco... =(

The Commonwealth of Australia has also extended their invitation to Rain.
omg, look ker_ai_teresa! =D you might get a chance! ^^

jessica: lol, i guess i've had some bad memory, lol. watching too many k-dramas one after another makes me forget their wardroe :P

ker_ai_teresa: lol, i guess JYP doesn't think there's too many fans in austrailia. and you know, asian artists always want to "debut in the US" for some reason. =.=

panda_shine: haha, can you put up a pic to trigger my memory? :brows:

[ker_ai_teresa]

LOL!

"The Commonwealth of Australia!"

makes it sound so formal, as though we were actually inviting royalty like the Queen rather than Rain. :rolleyes:

Jess--> kamsa for the clips! I'm DLing now. :-)
but why is he doing his goodbye perfs already? isn't it a bit premature? :oops:

[junnleenfaah]

karen- hehe, i really am getting more and more into bi =P in fact, i stayed up til 2am watching youtube videos on him, LOL. needa start catching myself up with current bi news from now on i suppose, haha

so for whatever reason, i watch over and over again bi's appearance + performance in the TRL studios, and his english is sooooo adorable *swoons*

[xanimeotakux]

lmao jen, you liked his english on trl? XD lol, i was hecka freaked out when i heard "i'm so excited!" haha, i'm glad his english has improved since then ;)

[ssejy_kun]

Hellu! I'm a kinda-new Rain fan. Got obsessed after watching Fullhouse a coupla months ago... :angel: and i've also just started listening to his music. 'It's Raining' = <3

Anyhu, I was watching that MSG thingo, and Rain was like, "Aaahm soo exaaahted." GAH! Hehe, it was so strange and cute and funni all at the same time. ^^ Couldn't help cringing a little tho...

And, is Rain SERIOUSLY considering coming to Australia!?!!??! YAYAYAY!!! and when? YAYAYAY!!!!!

anyhu, ciao!

[jessica]

grace: nothing is official yet, but i'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed =D i only pray that the tickets aren't too expensive :oops: i want to go to both shows again, if i can afford it. actually, i didn't even expect that he'll get anything because he's not attending. then there was the scandal behind the voting a while ago :dry: if you want to know about it, you can find it at rain-usa. the admin also posted it at sexybi.

karen: i was chatting with some fans yesterday and we were discussing about his Touch Ya outfit. they didn't like it too, but you'll it'll grow on you :D ^^; i was happy to see that he's sporting the NY cap again.
aw =( i guess you can get the concert DVD instead.. then you can re-watch it as often as you like :brows:

jeannie: i think he feels bad about the seating arrangements for the LV concert, so he's holding another one just for his fans.
haha. i was only annoyed with his "i'm so excited" line when i watched numerous news clips repeating that interview over and over again ><; we can't blame him for being excited. he is the first Korean to hold a concert at MSG and appear on TRL :D

tes: he has to end his promotion earlier because he has to prepare for the world tour. his Seoul concert is at the middle of next month :excited:

junnleenfaah: do you mind if i call you Jen? it took you long enough to notice him :tongue: what else were you watching besides that TRL clip? there are also a couple of subbed game/talk shows that you might be interested in. you should search for YSMM ep 44, 84, 85, and 118 (newest one)... Sang Sang Plus, and...Come to Play :-)

edit:
welcome ssejy_kun :wave: nothing is confirmed yet, but he did get offers. more news should come out next year ^^ you can check his concert site for updates too --> http://www.rainworldtour.com/

he left 2 msgs at his joyhompy!! :bounce: :cloud9: oh, you guys should DL the Music Bank fan cams of his rehearsal too =D

this is the direct Korean to English translation ^^

[xanimeotakux]

ssejy_kun: yay, another new fan! hello and welcome! :wave:

i'm not sure if he's seriously considering performing there, but austrailia did send him an invitation to perform there =)

jessica: haha, yeah. that was the only bad part i hated about his TRL performance. i still get shocked everytime i see him shake his ass in front of the TV when he was performing.. :whistle:

[junnleenfaah]

jeannie- haha, YES! it was CUTE. so so cute. it reminded me of his bashfulness from full house for some reason, lol. i agree with you on the ass shaking thing. it was a bit risqué, but nonetheless... :rolleyes: hehehe

jessica- yeah- you can definitely call me that, i dont mind at all :D haha, i know- but FINALLY i've realized his.. amazingness. lol. it's weird because when i first watched FH in april, i wasnt that attracted to him [i think it was a combination of his wardrobe catastrophes and the fact that i'm totally in love with yoo min hyuk, hahaha]. but after watching a couple MVs and that interview he did on CNN awhile back, it was like digging myself into a hole that i couldnt get out of, haha. one clip i was watching was him trying to learn english. haha, it was too cute. thanks for the recommendations, i'll hafta check out those clips!

hi ssejy_kun! hehe, you're in the same position as i am as a new fan of bi (: we can be lost together in the whirl of news/MVs/shows/etc that goes on with rain, haha

[jessica]

jeannie: haha. he was just being cheeky. he does that sometimes when he performs I Do. i didn't like how he kept looking up though ><;

Jen: it's never too late to learn about him :-) he wasn't very attractive in FH at the beginning ^^; i was a fan before he made that drama so to see his image change so drastically wasn't pleasing at all :oops: i didn't like his long hair and most outfits. thank goodness it gets better as the drama progresses. hehe. once you start to "discover" him, you'll grow more fond of him. oh, there's something else you should watch! look for the KBS 7 Rainmaker's documentary. it's also subbed and it talked about how those 7 ppl affected his life.

---------------------
i'm definitely going to get this lightstick! i kind of regretted on not getting one from Rainy Day :oops:

About Rain's Official Lightstick

Hi everybody, I'm the Cloud Master.

Today, I'll like to announce matters regarding the lightstick which everybody has been anticipating and showing much concern about.

In the process of completing the beautiful lightstick design, we had the help of many warm-hearted Clouds. Once again, we'll like to give our deepest appreciation to each and everyone who has helped us.

This lightstick was made so everybody can cheer for Rain during his Rain World Tour concerts with it. The design of this lightstick, as approved by Rain, is a letter "R" in representation of "Rain". We hope that in future, more fans will use the lightstick and wave it in the air to cheer Rain on.

We are still in discussion on the method of purchase and delivery for this lightstick. As there has been a lot of requests, we are showing everybody the design of this lightstick before the official notice on how to purchase it.

We will work on the purchase details as fast as possible and announce them to everybody.

Thank you.

pretty lightstick :love: (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4139/1234vo2.jpg)

[xanimeotakux]

OMG! the lightstick looks awesome! i think it would be one of the regular "R" XD. but it looks really big and heavy though. >.<

jessica: he was looking up? hm, i wonder what was on the ceiling XD

jen: haha, the fans took it as a good thing. XD they were practically shrieking when he shook his ass, haha

[jessica]

^ lol. the majority of his fans love his cheeky side, and i'm one of them :angel:

he wasn't look up at the ceiling... i think it was a screen. he was probably checking if he was in focus or whatnot. i've read that there were some technical problems when he was rehearsing.

subs for Hey Hey Hey is finally out. i'll post the clubbox and non-clubbox links in the DL thread, among other new clips ^^

[Racheal]

thanks for the post...wow Bi is awesome!! but im not sure if he is coming to Malaysia to promote his latest album ^_^ V

[ker_ai_teresa]

^ lol. the majority of his fans love his cheeky side, and i'm one of them :angel:

no you don't. you like him for his sexy side.

I like him for his cheeky side. :tongue:

erm....unless you define 'cheeky' as 'sexy'.....:whistle:

meh. I don't like lightsticks in general so no comment. :realcool:
however....why not an umbrella shape instead? :rolleyes:
