astig nga yung commercial...cute ni Rain...ang galing ng Unilever na kunin si Rain...dapat pala tinanong ko sa kakilala kong taga Unilever...magandang strategy yan para maraming bumili ng Clear

[summer]

Iba nga ang impact pag sa TV mo na napapanuod :D Sana, pag sa GMA , puro yung kay Rain na lang muna and wag na yung kina Bea *wish*
Pati si Arnold Clavio, ginagaya yung "My Name is Rain" pag promote nila yung clear sa radio, lol!

Hi Biers! Rain is featured today in Manila Bulletin's style Weekend. In the cover it says:

FASHION FIESTA

Superstar Rain and Supermodel (http://showthread.php?t=3020#) Diana Dondoe
Fall in LoVe in Valencia

- - - -

This was the time when Bi modeled for Louis Vuitton in Valencia, Spain and he was also invited to watch the yachting tournament . . .


http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/naomz/mb.jpg

I am glad that after the Clear Shampoo commercial, he is given another recognition in the Philippines. I was able to buy my copy just now, so hurry and get one. :D

[docirene]

Hi docirene - huli na tayo......it has been shown in several Asian countries already. I hope so, too that there will be a giant billboard of him to be installed here. :cool:
hehehe, what i meant was (to paraphrase it ) NAUNA PA DITO SA PINAS IPALABAS ITONG AD KESA SA SINGAPORE kc tayo nung nov 18, sunday, sa singapore nov21, wed. pero tama ka, and i am also aware that this ad has been shown ahead in other asian countries. basta ipost niyo agad dito kung makakita kayo ng billboard ni rain ha?

[docirene]

Natawa naman ako " My name is weyn"

uy talaga ba ganyan ang pagkasabi niya? proud na proud pa nga ako nung pinuri ng friend ko sa ganda ng tagline niya sa dulo ng ad eh. didnt even notice that. in my mind and sa pandinig ko RAIN ang bagsak nun, not WEYN. i may be wrong though. pero ok lang yan. no big deal;)

[docirene]

i saw the ad 2 x tonight. i swear i heard it very clearly MY NAME IS RAIN, not weyn. pls go check again. unless bingi na ako.:p promise, he wouldnt mispronounce his screen name. he's been using it for quite sometime now. since JYP produced his 1st album wayback 2002. no way would he mispronounce the name that made him the asian superstar that he is now.

"My name is Rain" nga . . . 4x ko pa ngang pinakinggan and I used headphone pa para sure at Rain nga sabi nya.

[freedert]

eto na:
approximations included! heheh,..

"I USED CLEAR,.. THE WORLD WATCHES MY EVERY MOVE, MY HAIR, MY CLOTHES, MY LOOKS,.. I LIKE BLACK,.. BLACK LOOKS GOOD,.. AND LOOKING GOOD MEANS NO DANDRUFF,... CLEAR MEANS NO DANDRUFF,..

info about clear..

I TRUST CLEAR,..
DANDRUFF NEVER COMES BACK,...

MY NAME IS RAIN!"

hahahah,..

pede na xang intro sa kahit anung gatherings.. heheh,..

[docirene]

hello lark, cfc and freedert. tama talaga ang narinig natin. di tayo nagkakamali. RAIN talaga yun, not weyn. peace to all.;):)

[fatgrrlslim]

Not to start an argument or anything, but I've had that sound clip "My name is Rain" as my message alert tone since September when the ad first came out on the internet. Araw-araw, maya't maya naririnig ko yung sound bite na yun. According to my ears, somewhere in between "Rain" and "Wayne" nga yung pagkakapronounce nya. :p Pero ok lang, cute nga eh.

Regarding yung pagiging "huli" na ipinalabas dito yung ad... actually, like docirene said, nauna tayo kesa sa Singapore. Although last month pa may mga Rain Clear promo ads na sila sa mga buses and subway. I think hindi pa rin pinapalabas yung ad sa Vietnam and Indonesia. 8 Asian countries all in all ang pagpapalabasan nung CF; I think that's excluding Korea and Japan kasi hindi ata available ang Clear doon.

According to our sources, supposed to be around October pa dapat naipalabas yung ad dito pero inuna nila yung kila John Lloyd para magkaroon ng "masa" appeal yung product. Mejo sosyalin kasi ang dating ng Clear dito.

hi, pau. would you have any idea if unilever would similarly give a free rain clear poster here just like in singapore? i already told my husband that he will have to shift to Clear once this happens. hahaha. talk of convincing power. and wow, thx for the info. didnt know that not only was the ad shown here ahead of singapore but also vietnam and indonesia. sikat anman tayo.;) actually i overheard some jeepney passengers talking abt this ad. 'YUN YUNG BIDA SA FULL HOUSE DI BA? SI JUSTIN?"

HAHAHA. that's easy recall. tawagin ba talagang justin si rain up to these days. di makalimot kalimutan kahit pa me bagong FULHAUS local sitcom na si bossing vic. talagang Full House is still the undisputed #1 koreanovela shown in the phils. unbeatable.

[barron]

Rain and Yun Eun-Hye Are China’s Favorite Hallyu Stars
November 27, 2007

According to recent surveys, singing sensation, Rain, and rising star, Yun Eun-Hye, were selected as China’s favorite Hallyu stars.

A Hallyu star popularity vote was cast on the 15th, on a Chinese website by the International Reelection Hallyu Channel (gb.cri.cn/18991/2007/11/14/Zt113@1842259.htm). Rain and Yun Eun-Hye took in an overwhelming number of votes, and were crowned as the top Hallyu stars of 2007.

A total of 15 male and 15 female stars were in the running, and on the morning of the 26th, Rain was bringing in 2,193,388 votes leaving the runner-up, Lee Jun-Gi, far behind in second place. Ju Ji-Hun at the time coming in 3rd place, proving to becoming an up-and-coming star.

Female Hallyu stars were swept away by actresses currently appearing in dramas. The heroine of the drama ‘Gung’, Yun Eun-Hye received a record 2,811,769 votes while Han Chae-Yeong and Song Hye-Gyo came in at 2nd and 3rd with 809,706 and 372,761 votes respectively. Currently on tour in Japan, ‘Asia’s star’, Boa took 106,414 votes, while sexy singer Lee Hyo-Ri received 84,725 votes, standing their ground at 4th and 5th places.

For the '2007 Hallyu Stars with the Most Potential’, netizens selected Super Junior’s Hangeng, and Gan Mi-Yeon, currently awaiting to make her debut in China, as their top picks.

The survey is to last until December 31st in the midst of critical times for Hallyu stars in China.

anong latest kay rain? xa na ba ang gaganap sa fullhouse 2? i mean cla ba ulit ni jenny ng fullhouse? sana cla na lang ulit.... dba may movie xa next year..watch tayo nun ha...


meron bang nag titinda d2 sa manila ng poster ni rain? saan?

kc gus2 kong mag ipon ng maraming maraming picture nya....

[deishi]

korek, RAIN naman tlga. and super love ko din ang clear ad niya at super sikat na mapa sa gma, abs or qtv.

First time ko narinig yun(literally talaga kasi habang pinapalabas yung commercial wala ako sa harap ng tv), akala ko rin "Wayne" yung pangalan ng commercial model ng Clear laking gulat ko ng napanood ko na si RAIN pala yun. I think Koreans have difficulties pronouncing some letters of the English alphabet kaya okay lang. Cute din naman pakinggan.

barron - he's now back in Korea just to do an SK CF & return to US again this first week of December. I don't think he's going to do this Part 2 of FullHouse since he's so busy until next year including his movie to be premiered on May 9. Looking forward to watch this, too. ;)

btw, this may be off topic but i would like to share this video of charice pempengco, a 14 y/o filipina young singer who was invited to sing in a korean tv show STAR KING and she even impressed Super Junior and all the rest of the ppl there, even ellen de generes invited her to guest in her show. wow, im so proud of her. kindly check this out. it was cute how she interacted with the SJ members. i know even rain would probably be impressed with this young diva. i think she was sam concepcion’s contemporary in a singing contest. she lost to him.

07 Dec 03 Korean Stars Going Into Overseas Market



Year 2007 is going to end soon, quite a few Korean stars revealed their Hollywood plan. From Jang Donggun, Jeon Jihyun, Rain to Song Hyekyo, it's no surprise that more and more Korean artists are getting onto the global stage.

(skipped unrelated =p)

Korean super star, Rain finally adjusted his focus on Hollywood from this year onwards. Although the court case of USA world tour was a bad hit, Rain's achievement in filming at least helps him to gain back the confidence. Rain is one of the supporting roles in the Hollywood film <Speed Racer> but it was a very rare opportunity to work with so many famous actors and actresses for a newbie. The film is indeed an excellent experience for Rain.

(skipped the rest... ^ ^;;)

We hope that you guys keep supporting and loving Rain.

Ye, the video is already out today…..I’ve seen it. It’s just that I don’t understand what was he saying in the video. :D

[willenette]

Hello, this is J Tune Entertainment.

Here is some more information regarding Rain’s trip to Macau for the CineAsia Awards.

Dec. 6th (Thursday)

Departing: Incheon International Airport @ 9:20 a.m.

Arriving: Macau @ 3:00 p.m. (Macau time)

Because Rain has plans in America, he will be going straight to LA from Macau.

He will not stop by Korea before going to America, so we hope that there is no misunderstanding with the fans.

07.12.11 JYP: Don't be too eager about success, advice to Rain

Park Jinyoung's reminder: Don't show high expectation on Rain, just let him goes on step-by-step!



Park Jinyoung (JYP), the singer-and-producer recently voiced his opinion, "We should lower our expectation on Rain and don't purposely set the targets which are too high for him to reach."

In his interview with <STAR News>, JYP said, "If everything goes on smoothly for Rain, it may not be a good sign. So hope that everyone can hold their eagerness and don't show high expectation on him. Now it's just a beginning for him, a totally new start."

"Whether it's Rain himself, or the people who care about him should lower their expectation. Don't pressurise himself. From the viewpoint of filming, Rain is indeed a newbie, and it's also a new investment from the aspect of businessman." JYP added.

At this moment, it's a new beginning and shouldn't overstress oneself.

People will make mistakes in their life, for sure. However, the high expectation will definitely pressurize Rain and it may result on negtive impact. It's meaningless to be so nervous about success. Lowering the expectation and work out step-by-step, that's the advice of JYP to Rain.

07 Dec 12 Rain Exposes Hip Bones to Sell Jeans and Pockets SGD950,000

[Korea Hot News] By exposing his hip bones to sell jeans, Rain pockets 600 million won (SGD950,000)!

"Asia's Heavenly Prince" Rain garnered 600 million won in modelling fees to expose his hip bones for Calvin Klein Jeans adertisements. In the ad, he exposes his hip bones, a move which scored 100 out of 100.

Rain shot the ad in the desert, deliberately unzipping the fly of his jeans to expose the underwear and his sexy hip bones. Once the ad was published, it immediately became the talk of the town and increased the popularity of Calvin Klein jeans. Rain expressed, modeling winter fashion in the middle of the desert caused him to sweat buckets, however, in order to emote the various sexy male poses, a little perspiration is worth it.

07.12.11 JYP: Don't be too eager about success, advice to Rain

Park Jinyoung's reminder: Don't show high expectation on Rain, just let him goes on step-by-step!



Park Jinyoung (JYP), the singer-and-producer recently voiced his opinion, "We should lower our expectation on Rain and don't purposely set the targets which are too high for him to reach."

In his interview with <STAR News>, JYP said, "If everything goes on smoothly for Rain, it may not be a good sign. So hope that everyone can hold their eagerness and don't show high expectation on him. Now it's just a beginning for him, a totally new start."

"Whether it's Rain himself, or the people who care about him should lower their expectation. Don't pressurise himself. From the viewpoint of filming, Rain is indeed a newbie, and it's also a new investment from the aspect of businessman." JYP added.

At this moment, it's a new beginning and shouldn't overstress oneself.

People will make mistakes in their life, for sure. However, the high expectation will definitely pressurize Rain and it may result on negtive impact. It's meaningless to be so nervous about success. Lowering the expectation and work out step-by-step, that's the advice of JYP to Rain.

True! People are expecting too much from him, now that he's selling globally. Rain should be enjoying everything, every moment of it. Let's help him do what he loves to do - wag natin ipadama sa kanya na trabaho ang ginagawa niya...

I just made a total elf of RAIN. Check it out by clicking the link below. if it doesnt work kindly just copy and paste the link in your browser. i have lots of laugh making this. i thought it was cute.

[willenette]

Why is it that they said RAIN has failed when in the first place he has not officially debuted in US yet? It’s not over for him but he’s just begun. Now, after his debut if he doesn’t succeed, then it’s fine, Asia has been good enough for him, huh? I hope people would stop comparing him to others because nobody’s alike, so he’s different. :cool:

[virghem]

Sino sa nyo meron pang copy ng picture ni Rain sa Full House. Yung naka Frame na picture dun sa room nya..na may ilaw pa.

Alam ko matagal na ang full house pero kailangan ko lang tlga yung picture..pls. send me an email (densetsu_ghem@yahoo.com).

Maraming salamat. :)

CHARICE PEMPENGCO LIVE ON ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW (12/19/07) showing her vocal prowess with a stunning rendition of Dreamgirls' And I Am Telling You (Complete Version)!!!!

[quotable quotes from ellentv.com]

"I watched this live just now. Charice showed her sweet personality all throughout. Right after this song, it was so touching. Her tears starting coming out and so as her mom. I guess from all their struggles to the culmination of this one great moment on Ellen." "She cried even more when Ellen gave her as a gift an ipod touch after this song (she lost hers on the 13 hrs. flight). She did sing another song at the end of the show - "I Will Always Love You." I tell ya, it was the most beautiful rendition yet from her of this song. Hope someone can post it here soon."
-sushforever

"OMG, what an incredible voice, not only did I get goosebumps, she actually made me cry! What an amazing young talent. It is so refreshing to see a young person channel energy into something positive! I am sure this talented young lady will go far, thanks Ellen for sharing her with us. You Rock!!!!" -- Cindy Kolze

Ellen,
I'm shocked! Where do you find these amazing kids. That's definately a gift from God! When she sang "you're the best Mom I ever had ", I just started balling. My 13 yr old daughter was having a rough night last night. She told me she would be completely lost without me and all I could think of was my daughter the whole time she was singing. I'm still crying! Thankyou for sharing this amazing girl with all of us.
Merry Christmas!!!" - Dorothy

"Well...looks like the audience already looked convinced...saw a lot of them doing this (:-O)
Thank you very much Ellen for giving the kid a well deserved break in the US scene.... I'm speechless after that performance, that kid is incredible. I'm lost for words, how can anyone sing like that? It's not my favorite genre of music but that lil girl almost made me cry." -- John

"Ellen, Thank you for bringing this wonderful young lady into our homes and lives, I can't wait to see her career take off. She will go far with that voice, she is blessed in so many ways and to know that you had a hand in giving her this opportunity has to feel pretty good." - Diane Turner

"I thought Clarice was incredible and I am so excited for her and the endless possiblities she has going for her. It actually reminded me of watching Barbra Streisand when she was starting out. I actually had chills watching this faboulous performance. Ellen, you are so wonderful for helping talented kids get a chance to show their talent. I love you and your show." -- Margie Silver

"what a great performance.
She has a voice of a professional singer or shall i say better than some professional singers. I really do hope and pray that she gets her break.God bless you and may you have all the success that life can bring to you. YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY!!! GOOD LUCK!!! YOU DON'T NEED IT BECAUSE YOU ALREADY GOT IT!" -- Carmela Simmons

"Ellen what an amazing singer Charice is. I had goose bumps and put tears to my eyes. She really deserved the standing O'S." -- Ruthanne Goodwin

"oh my God!!!!!! i was stunned, I'm speechless with this kid, she is one of the best singers I've ever ever heard, i can't believe it that she can sing like that.. i mean who ever knows that this girl could sing a very high pitch song with a unbelievable sining signature, it was one of the most watchable talent i guess, one of the best I've ever seen seriously, this kid can do great in the music scene. and I'm telling you she can do better in the future.. " -- knighty

"Whoa!!!
how could a voice like that coming out from a 15 year old girl??? she is soo... terrific! now, that's an amazing talent from this innocent girl. i had goosebumps... ellen, i think you just become part of her great start. a record deal is imminent!!! Ellen, i admire your ability to see and recognize a GENUINE talent. BRAVO!!! more power to you and your show." -- Edith Bertz

07 Dec 22 [Money Today Star News] Rain Sweeping Across Billboard & Box Office Simultaneously

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/malaydebster/2007122110483316048_1.jpg

Top star singer and actor Rain receives affirmation from the world.

Rain, who will be sneaking into the US movie box office market through Hollywood's work <Speed Racer> by 2008, will be distributing his global record with a brand-new image; rolling up the Billboard charts to the number 1 ranking, thus proving the worth of his reputation as a world-class star.

Playing an Asian-American named "Taejo Togokhan" in <Speed Racer>, Rain is stepping up with his fluency in English and his steady acting skills, giving himself a favorable impression and receiving high praises from the American audience.

Rain specifically aimed at the Asian region to launch promotional activities by using this movie <Speed Racer> as something that will be widely known by its people; as he is evaluated and designated as the Asian star most wanted by Hollywood producers. As Rain is successful in his first step into the US market, his status as a singer has also received extreme attention.

As he works his way up into the first ranking on the Billboard charts with his global record release, Rain's special edition during this time has been set as the union between every kind of pop music between the East and the West. Therefore Rain's music record activities in the US will attract much attention. With this, at the year end of 2007, Rain mentioned that "next year I hope to bring everyone astonishing news". Not only has Rain adhered to the promise he has made to his fans, he has also made a more definite development in his direction of being a world star.

Korean singer Rain to sing Beijing 2008 Olympics Song

In an article on Daum today, it is reported that World Star Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) has been chosen to perform the Beijing 2008 Olympic Song. The song is about "hope and courage".

Rain is currently in the States, busy working on a Hollywood movie. When contacted, Bi expressed great interest in this project.

Many will probably ask if it is apt for a Korean star to be given the honour to sing the Olympic theme song. Why not choose a Chinese singer? How about Lee Hom or Jay Chou? How come a Korean artist was chosen?

Well, i guess Rain's World Star status and charisma has won the hearts of the organizers and he has been selected. They also state that, Rain has many Chinese fans and has made a name for himself in China. Rain has been on quite a few advertisements in the Chinese market namely, Pepsi Cola, Pantech (mobile phone), DHC cosmetics and Fuma (a Chinese mainland brand). Thus organizers claim that Bi is very popular and has a huge fan base in China.

The Olympics is the most prestigious sports event which brings the entire world population in unity. Thus it will be a huge opportunity for Rain to put a stamp on his "World Star" status.

Organizers are also banking on Rain's debut into the USA market this year with his Hollywood movie "Speed Racer". The movie is scheduled for release in Malaysia on 8 May 2008.

Only five days into the new year and already 2008 is beginning to look like a promising year for hallyu star Rain.

Rain Clarifies Olympic Song Rumor

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter

Korean pop singer and actor Rain has not been chosen to perform the 2008 Beijing Olympics theme song, according to his management agency J Tunes.

J Tunes issued the clarification, after reports surfaced that Rain would be performing the theme song for the Olympics this summer. ``An agency in China asked Rain to record a 'candidate' song for the Olympics, but we have not yet recorded any song,'' J Tunes said.


J Tunes said Rain would be honored if he were chosen to perform the official song for the Olympics.

Beijing Olympic organizers will announce the official song and singer, 100 days before the start of the Olympics. The Beijing Olympics will run from Aug. 8 to 24.

Rain is one of the most popular Korean singers and actors in China. He has appeared in numerous advertisements for Pepsi, DHC cosmetics and other products in China. Rain is also appearing in the highly anticipated Hollywood film ``Speed Racer'' this year.

Last year, Chinese superstar Jackie Chan recorded, ``We are Ready,'' an official song that marked the countdown to the Beijing Olympics.

*** I’m expecting it, too. This is good news. Can’t wait for it to come out. I hope we get more news soon since premier is nearing…May. :)


*****************************************************************
The film <Speed Racer> casted by Rain is nominated as the most expected film in year 2008!

Previously Rain dressed up with traditional Korean costume and greeted his fans happy new year. Meanwhile, his agency also revealed his future plan to cast in a new Hollywood film directed by a famous director.

Just recently, Rain's film <Speed Racer> was chosen as one of the TOP10 most expected films in year 2008 by Yahoo netizens. On the other hand, Rain and another female singer, Lee Sooyoung won "The Best Male Singer" and "The Best Female Singer" in 2007 Mobile Performance Awards.

***Poor him…..false rumors &reports are really difficult to handle. And why would RAIN commit suicide? Just because of all these things? He’ll never do this…this is so funny. Being a superstar like him is so tough. A photo or anything can turn into big news for a very popular celebrity like him. :(
**********************************************************
The hardest time in Rain’s life was not when all of his US concerts were cancelled and fled to Berlin, but when rumors about his suicide spread like wild fire among the Chinese Netizens in April of 2006. It hit him hard when he first encountered the rumor but he learned to let it go as he started to pity those who started the rumor.

if you want to hear him brag about his past successes, workouts and English studies, check out Rain’s interview on OBS Kyungin TV on January 12th.

I think he just doesn’t want to be criticized that’s why he turned it down. But just really want to confirm it if the organizer really offered him to sing the theme song. They deserve a punch to death. This might be a fake report. Most of the time medias are just trying to sell stories. J. Tune said that he was offered to sing but hasn’t recorded any song yet. Luckily, he knows that a Chinese singer should be the one to sing the theme song. For this, I admire him, I give my full credit to him. It’s a great opportunity but well…..I support his decision. :p

***************************************************************

Unexpectedly, Rain turned down the golden opportunity to sing for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He reasoned that it makes more sense for a Chinese singer to be the voice of the 2008 Olympics, but he is planning another event for the Olympics. Glad to see the shrimp eyed star starting off the year on the right foot. Let’s hope that it lasts.

Unfortunately, Rain’s announcement will end the cyber war among the Chinese and Korean netizens who are currently getting carried away at their keyboards to express their conflicting opinions. No more entertainment for those indifferent observers.

The Reminiscence of A Fangirl - A Dedication to Jung JiHoon

It's been a long time since I posted in this thread http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8444/licksmiley4wb.gif Sorry for being random and for such a long post...

I was feeling a little nostalgic after hearing Handshake on another site. Perhaps it was me not having heard the song in a long time. Perhaps it was her talking about Bi being the unfortunate target of bad press or perhaps it was her saying how much she liked that song, a song from his first album which was much more free of the "smoke, smoke, video, video" effects and all.

When that song just suddenly played into my ears, I suddenly felt all the love I had in the start...Just like the time when I was a fresh fangirl when he was just a relatively fresh faced star trying to make his mark. He was the one who started me on Kpop, Kdrama and all things K - the very first love.

As I was listening to the song, I thought of the days I chased him when he was here, of the days when he was just Bi, the charismatic performer who swooned us with his killer moves and heartfelt renditions. That song was so simple but in it I felt I was really listening to Jung JiHoon.

I was a late fan but I know of his journey and had witnessed his meteoric rise. I must admit I don't love him as much as I used to but he still occupies such a special and irreplaceable place in this fangirl's heart.

I feel happy for him that he is that much closer to being a world star that he wanted. I really feel sad for him when there's so much bad press and I know some of it is probably not true. I feel sad when I see much of that fresh innocence gone. Sometimes, he just looks weary and drained. I cannot help but feel at times that something's been lost and loneliness has taken its place.

Somehow, listening to that song brought me to a moment when Bi was so much more Jung JiHoon, when everything was so much simpler, when he would shine even if there was nothing on stage. Just like the complicated setup and the complications of the last tour, I do miss the days when things were just so much simpler for him.

I pray for his good health and the day where his troubles will be less and I will see that dazzling smile on his face again -the smile that reaches his eyes and comes from his heart.

Jung JiHoon Fighting!

I am also a late fan, but I believe that Rain have moved on and so, all of us Biers should. Everything that's happening to him now is the price of fame and fortune. Better, much better than in a steady place with no movement all. But still, you're right, JUNG JIHOON FIGHTING and we must support him all the way!

Jay Chou conferred Chinese version of Rain - 1000+ Korean fans attend film primiere, Friday January 11, 2008

Yesterday, Jay attended the film primiere of his latest film 'Secrets' in South Korea and also grant interviews to the local media. Around 1,000 plus fans were there to support.
The local media also described him as the Chinese version of Rain, meaning to say Jay's popularity is equivalent to that of heavenly king Rain in South Korea.

At the premiere, Jay greeted fans in Korean, what surprised him most was some local fans actually spoke Mandarin when asking questions.
He told the local media said he did not expect to have so many fans in Korea and he's surprised by their warmth support and enthusiasm.

Jay and his family had visited Seoul before on holiday's but this time round it's for work.
The feeling is different, to be able to bring my own workpiece to South Korea and meet-up with the audience; I'm even more happier.

With regards to the local media comparing him to Rain;
Jay commented that they have not met in private but have seen one another's performance on stage.
He added that Rain is full of charisma and charm and he personally admire him but their music style is completely different, there's nothing to compare.

He disclosed that his knowledge and understanding on films are gained

from Zhang Yimou and Lau Waikeung. The two of them influenced him alot, after trying out as a director, he's found it to be very difficult. It'll be one to two years later before he starts acting again. At the moment, he feels that he still has shortcomings. The only option is to learn as he go along.

yup jay chou is a very famous taiwanese singer actor but rain is definitely more handsome and more charismatic. but i'd like to commend jay for a very good acting role in THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER. if rain can be given that, i'd be very happy as it has also been my dream for rain to do a historical drama or film. imagine, jay pitted with bigtime asian actors like chow yun fat and gong li

Hi docirene - thanks for the message. I agree with you but sorry can't comment more about JZ since I'm not really familiar about him. Really, it's your dream for RAIN to do a period drama? Me, I'm not into period dramas but if he's in it, I would surely watch it just like what I did for Bae Yong Joon. :D

[willenette]

tiny bit of the OBS clip:



At around 8:05, his phone rang (or beeped) while being interviewed. The interviewer is curious and asks 'who is that? Is that a girl?' :laugh I think Bi answered "no it's not a girl" :x: :whistle:

translated by kairu/sexybi

this is a real noisy interviewer hihi he even stood up to look at the display
hihi i thought bi would hide

*** this is what the photos we've seen meant, why he's holding his mobile & showed it to the interviewer. Wondering who called him? I believe him when he told him that it's not a girl since if it was, he won't show it to him as what he did, much more if the girl calling is famous, too. Don't you think so? :)

talaga. I loved Jumong so much i just wish Rain would be offered a good role in a historical drama just like Song Il Gook (he was equally good or exceptional in Emperor of the Seas). btw, i recently bought what i thought was a historical drama starring BYJ. i just got disappointed bec. it was more fantasy/magical than it was historical. i didnt even get past the 2nd episode. ayoko kc ng mga dragons, ghosts etc.

RAIN SIGNS FOR SAMSUNG'S OLYMPIC CAMPAIGN

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter
The Korea Times

Korean pop star and actor Rain signed a one-year contract with Samsung Electronics, the official sponsor for wireless communications at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Yonhap News quoted Rain's management agency J Tune Entertainment as saying Rain will be the model for Samsung Anycall's advertising campaign for the Beijing Olympics. He will also sing Samsung Anycall's Olympic commercial theme song, as well as appear in billboards and posters.

Rain is one of the most popular Korean stars in China, because of his roles in TV dramas such as ``Full House.'' He has appeared in advertisements for Pepsi, DHC cosmetics and Chinese confectionary brand Fuma. He also appears in the highly anticipated Hollywood film "Speed Racer'' this year.

Rain was earlier rumored to have been asked to perform official song for the Olympics ― but this turned out to be false. He has clarified that a Chinese agency asked him to record a "candidate song'' that will be submitted for consideration by the Olympic committee.

Samsung Anycall is known for hiring top Korean stars for its high-profile advertising campaigns. Last year, Samsung Anycall's campaign "Talk, Play, Love'' featured Korean pop singer BoA, Epik High rapper Tablo, TVXQ member Xiah and jazz pianist Jin Bora.

Rain worked volunteer in Taeon, South Korea (Rain’s portion only on Jan 16th news)

Rain worked as oil spill clean-up volunteer worker in Taeon, South Korea
Taeon district said “Feel the beauty of life from a quiet image”

Singer/artist, Rain, real name Ji Hoon Jeong: Worked quietly as a volunteer to clean up the worst oil in Taeon, South Korea in cold weather.

One of Taeon oil spill clean-up volunteer worker said Rain worked hard as volunteer to clean up the worst oil under the cold weather on Jan 16th.

On Jan 16th, around 10:30 am, the weather was extremely cold especially in the morning, the skin seems like cracked in such low temperature. Rain insisted to clean up the worst oil although the sea water was freezing cold. Rain’s father occasionally visited Taeon and he came with 20 workers on this day.

Per J. Tune, they really want to do something for Taeon. Then, Rain motivated all staffs from his company to clean up the worst oil together.

Taeon rescue team officer responded in the phone interview,
“Mr. Ji Hoon Jeong was working so hard. He even motivated his staffs to clean up the worst oil together. As an actor and artist, he shows his power. Ji Hoon believed something needs to be done for Taeon; he worked sincerely and did not catch anybody’s attention. He insisted to finish his work. It shows his real personality in this case”

Per this rescue team officer, some press reporters found Rain when he took off his hat during rest time. After a while, those reporters walked close to him. However, Rain did not pay attention to them and continued to do the clean-up job quietly.

Rescue team officer said, “Mr. Ji Hoon Jeong neither say anything nor look at anybody, he just worked quietly.”

….Rain finished the post-production of movie “Speed Racer”. He just came back Seoul on the 14th. Originally, he wanted to plan to take a short break. He went back his office on the 15th, then he worked as oil spill clean-up volunteer worker in Taeon on the 16th…..Rain is planning to go back USA 10 days later, scheduled the details for his new Hollywood movie…The primarily shooting schedule for new movie is around on March and April…

That’s so nice & kind of him, his dad & his staff to help out with that. It happened last December & he’s in US that time. Now, that he’s back in Korea, he gave his time to do this. This is touching for some stars also who do this. And he did this only yesterday. I think this oil spill is really terrible since they’re still cleaning it up to now. So happy to know what he’s doing at the moment. And it’s still very cold right now there & I hope he’s going to take care of himself.



Oh, he’ll be in Korea only for a short time then go back again to US, huh? Gosh, so happy that he has another movie to be shot either around March/April. :D

sadly, i havent. are these in YT? so far, the chances for putting up rain tarps here in the phils seems nil accg to a post i read in one blog site. it says, as soon as the new local endorser for clear is aired, chances are that of rain's may not be seen anymore. this is all the more saddening, di ba?

It's news today, saying bi has signed a one-year contract with this miao group in China for 1 billion won i.e. around US$1million(from Apr 2008 to Apr 2009) for their new sportswear line called millow sport. He will probably do the CF in Shanghai China.

My latest in my folder is his SKTelecom CF, his new year greetings & the making of this CF. :D

[willenette]

This is based on a Korean fan’s friend’s account. On 1/19 Rain got a trim at a beauty palour where this fan’s friend works. Rain wore a yellow hooded sweatshirt, jeans and carried his (LV?) backpack. It’s a high-end beauty palour that movie stars/entertainers frequently patronize. It was said that Rain was there just to get a trim. He looked very fit with bulging muscles (looks like he’s been working out frequently lately). This fan’s friend was completely captivated by our handsome Rain (HeHe, who wouldn’t?)

sayang namn kung ganun..=(

Wala siyang drama pa ngayon after ALTK because he'll be very busy with his hollywood movies & US debut this year. I hope he can give us another drama end of this year.

Kakanta siya sa Beijing Olympics but not the theme song but the song of Samsung who's the sponsor for this event. :D

a VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT from Cloud Philippines...

I know you're all waiting for this. We promised to give you something BIG and EXCITING, so here goes... ;D

First off: the BIG news is...

SPEED RACER IS COMING OUT IN THE PHILIPPINES ON MAY 7, 2008.

Yup, you read that right! The Philippines will experience Speed Racer a full THREE DAYS ahead of the US of A! (that's counting the time difference)

And since you asked for it, we're gonna give it to you. Cloud Philippines is holding a special GROUP SCREENING exclusively for all Rain fans in the Philippines!

http://www.cloudphilippines.com/posts/speed-ad2.jpg

*please click on the link to view the poster

Here are the details:

1. The Premiere Theater at Shangri-La Cineplex houses 88 pax limited seating capacity. In case our confirmed attendees exceed 88 persons, we can still change the venue to Greenbelt 3 Cinemas which can house 160 persons. But we need a confirmed total number of attendees first before we make this step.

We need the participants' confirmation ahead of time and on FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis. This is also to facilitate preparation of our gifts and giveaways.

We shall appreciate confirmation of attendance as early as NOW.

2. Payment for the ticket is also required in advance. We shall be providing everyone the payment details later.

3. As per Shangrila Cineplex' rules, we are required to be at the cinema ON TIME. As of now, we don't know the exact screening time of the movie since it's still in post-production phase and all... The time on the invite is the preferred screening time we selected.

We should also abide by the Cineplex's house rules, ie., no bringing of food and beverages except from those purchased from their snack bar.

4. We are also considering having a small CloudPH get-together 2-3 hours before the screening. Currently, there are no available restaurants/fastfood chains at Shangri-la which can accomodate functions aside from Cravings which can only house a maximum of 40 persons. If you would like us to have a small gathering before the event, please let us know by posting a reply at this thread expressing your intention to join. An additional fee for the food will be asked of you should the mini-gathering pushes through. Of course, a mini-gathering would mean additional treats for the attendees. The estimated total fee for this would be P500.00 (P250.00 for the screening and P250.00 for the mini-gathering).

Please take note that we will only push through with the mini-gathering if we have reached a total number of 30 CONFIRMED and PAID attendees. So please do state your intention to join as early as NOW so that we'll have ample time to prepare.


Cloud Philippines is currently coordinating with Warner Bros. Pictures for possible promotional tie-ups and activities where the Club may participate.

FINAL NOTE: As we are not holding our event on the first day of showing in consideration of those who cannot make it on weekdays, it doesn't mean we are stopping you from watching Speed Racer before our event. In fact, the more times you watch, the better. Just follow the Vilmanian principle: pay, watch, get out of the theater, pay again, watch again, get out again... (repeat to infinity)

We anticipate everyone's participation in this momentous event.

PH CLOUDS SUPPORT RAIN!

A Korean Cloud saw Jihoon outside J.Tune today

Heard he's thinned a lot.
Indeed, he did look much thinner today.
He didn't style his hair, just let it down.
Because his hair is really long, it settled on a center parting naturally.
A first glance, ah! "Jesus concept"!
His hair is bright chestnut in colour...
His long hair was drifted in the breeze
Just like the silky strands of a baby (makes you feel like touching it!)
The people in front went up to talk to him, and he responded.

Went straight into the car park from his office.
Heard he's going for afilming session...

P.S: Mr Security ajussi said Jihoon's a very, very polite person. Very suave!



*** Wondering what is he going to film? Jesus concept? Ye, probably because it’s that long, the style & it settled on a center. Hmmmmm…..lucky fan, huh? Envy her! And he gets thinner. I want to see him, the photo. :)

Anyeong Biers!!!:p

OMG!!! malapit na ang SPEED RACER!!! wow ang galing naman ng cloud Philippines, hope u enjoy!!!

08 Jan 25 [Kona] Rain Returns to Korea As Overseas Fans Also Head There

Rain, returns to South Korea as overseas fans also head there to see him.

In order to see singer Rain, overseas fans entering into the country has become a hot topic. On the 14th, Rain temporarily ended his overseas activities in the U.S. and returned to his homeland. Coinciding with his return, there have been about 20 fans 'pitching camp' in front of his company everyday. It is not hard to see the fans' absolute dedication in wanting to see Rain, even if it is only for a short instance.

Every time he goes through in and out he is so friendly to the fans in response to their sincerity towards him. His company's side said,

"Whenever Rain see his fans waiting outside, he gets very worried. Because the office is so narrow, there is no means to look after the fans (?). When the weather is cold, he will always ask the fans to go home sooner. And for the sake of the fans, he is working on planning the direction of his company." We share the same hope as Rain, that is to become a "World Star" soon, and to look after the fans well.
