Rain argued in the US case that the concert stage was not properly set up for him, and that he was unable to use his name in the United States because of a copyright challenge from a US Beatles tribute band also called Rain.

Ads for this group have started popping up all over the place -- in magazines, on tv, on billboards -- every time I see it, I get mad remembering my Jenn didn't get to see the real, one and only RAIN when his concert was canceled that she was attending with others from this group -- grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to this tribute band!!!!

Quote:

The mass amount of Korea’s top stars are scheduled to return to the K-pop scene only weeks from now, and today, the superstar Rain unleashed his album jacket in prior to the album’s official release date, April 1st. The album has known to be titled BACK TO THE BASIC.

Therefore, we decided to accept pre-orders on the album now.”

Umm......

Raggedy Ann. Don't look at me like that, someone had to say it!

Ummmm...someone has spent a little bit too much time at Sephora's eyelash counter

Okay he's shirtless, I'm back.

Love the eyelashes!
he is so much prettier than I am.

His body is Rain. His face is Boy George. He doesn't need that. He already has us.

Got a chance to look at that video.....
Body is still smoking HOT!

I am rolling with laughter, Chris! I keep trying to figure out which famous woman Rain looks like with those lashes. It is driving me nuts!

Liza Minnelli?

Rain’s special album comeback code: “Sexy”, title song confirmed

Quote:

‘World Star’ Rain (28) will be having his comeback. After his 5th album ‘Rainisim’ released in October 2008, it will be his singer comeback after 18 months. And the comeback code will be sexy this time. He will put a stop with all the idols advocating concepts like ‘beastly-dol’ or ’sexy-dol’. Ahead of the comback, we have already seen the teaser video released on 23rd March. In the teaser, we can see Rain showing off his masculinity in the new concept. The transformation in his style is also radical. He had shoulder-length wavy locks and fake eyelashes attached to his lower eye lashes. A JTune Ent rep said, “It will go with the music style. We have not revealed the most shocking features yet.” This will be his 2nd album after he left JYP Entertainment and set up his own music label. And this time the album will be titled ‘Back To The Basic’ which means going back to the beginning. There will be 5 songs in the special album. And Rain has also participated in the producing, song lyrics and composing for the whole song for more than half of the album. This is yet another chance we see Rain showing his producing capabilities after his previous works like his recollection album and MBLAQ’s debut album. The title song to the album will be ‘널 붙잡을 노래 (The song that will capture you)’ but the genre to the song has yet been decided. We get to hear a snippet to the song through the teaser video released. The response to the album is also heating up. With the release of the teaser video, there were over 100K views to the video in less than 12 hours . Rain will make his comeback on KBS Music Bank on 2nd April.

He'd have to lower his waistband about an inch (maybe less) to prove that he wasn't an adjumma (albeit a flatchested one)

We can always stick a bag over his head.

Put a photo from Ninja Assassin on it...

I can't believe they did it. Those freakin' nerds blew up the BuyMore.

oh yeah, these are photos from the MV.

In yet another of life's little 'where was I when this was going on?!' moments,

Rain the wrestler flaunts his strength on the streets

Quote:

Officially back to Korea for his impending activities on BACK TO THE BASIC as a singer, Rain has launched off his public appearance, by wrestling his fans on the bustling streets of Myung Dong! Stripping off his elegant image of a world superstar, Rain Jung Ji Hoon has once again lived up to the name of the most perfect man in Korea by defeating all four participants! The reason for displaying such an exotic show (?) was actually to keep a promise he made with the netizens, for a segment on KBS 2TV’s talk show, Win Win. This corner, namely Keep the Promise Project, follows a unique format where the show offers the netizens to pledge to perform an anything of bizarre nature, in exchange of the celebrity committing something out-of-normal as well. On this very episode, Rain was to keep the promise of having a wrestling battle on the open streets. To give a sneak peek of its “bizarreness,” that big brown thing with four legs you see in the pictures below is an actual cow, whereas those screaming people in the background are actual random pedestrians… Make sure to catch this episode on April 4th!

He didn't wrestle any fangirls so you didn't miss out on much by not being there.

THANK YOU MINJOO!!!!!

Loving this song!

I haven't been on this site for soo long but Rain brought me back Thank you for all the hot fotos. I'm drooling all over my desk.lol

OMG lettle ^^ where did you take that pic from. I'm so jealous. I wanna touch his butt too.lmao

I gotta wonder who's responsible for Rain's image. Ninja Assassin to Liza Minelli eyelashes? Good heavens!

Probably Rain himself.
He left JYPE and runs his own label now. MBlaq is the only other artist on it right now, but he's totally in charge of their image so he probably runs his own too.

I should be back with the music video sometime this evening.

Or not.....

Rain's album release postponed to April 7 The release date for Asian pop sensation Rain's new album, originally due out tomorrow, has been delayed to April 7, according to the singer's agency on Wednesday. "He was supposed to start promoting his album by giving his comeback performances on music shows this week but they have been cancelled so we put off the release date to next week", an official at J.Tune Entertainment told Asia Economic Daily over the phone. All three of Korea's public networks have cancelled or delayed the airing of most of their entertainment shows this week following the sinking of South Korea's naval ship Cheonan late on March 26. The country has been in a state of grievance after a mysterious explosion tore apart the vessel, leaving 46 sailors missing or thought to be trapped inside the warship now sitting 40 meters under water. Fifty-eight crew members, including the captain, have been rescued so far. Meanwhile, "Love Song", the title track to Rain's special album "BACK TO BASICS" unveiled yesterday, is currently topping the music charts of several online music providers and major social networking websites. The song, released yesterday, is about a man's unforgotten love for his woman even though they are separated. "BASIC" marks Rain's comeback to the Korean pop music scene in two years after releasing his last studio album "Rainism" in 2008. Jessica Kim jesskim@asiae.co.kr <ⓒ10Asia All rights reserved>

And now the tread is broken again.

It makes Rain so angry when his thread breaks.
 

It breaks from all his yummy and hottieness!

Oh lucky you. Never been to Korea but I'm planning on stopping there to see Rain whenever his Hotness (not Higness) is ready for me. lol

I will be patiently waiting for the album release. 6 more days to go.
