WOW NICE WALLPAPER OF RAIN FROM PANTECH!

Rain's popularity is still number 1!
Recently, Rain has gone more and more into hiding, and the Clouds' pining for him deepens.
The yearnings will soon hit its peak
Miss him so much, especially the Bi on stage

1. News of the movie

As you all know, he is currently filming in Pusan.

Also, Director Pak who has been rejecting interviews finally accepted one from Cine21 (a very well-known movie magazine)
The magazine did not publish any pictures of the filming site, only the photo of Director Pak

According to the reporter
Director Pak keep really lively photos of Rain and Im Soo Jung in his notebook and showed them to the journalist
The Director Pak then was just like a proud father.

According to Director Pak
He's been meaning to film a story on cyborgs and mental institutions
Also, unlike in the past, he wants to work with younger actors/ actresses
(The actors/ actresses he used to worked with were all in their 30s or 40s)

And he also said that the movie is about a love story, and it's a romantic comedy
The storyline is very fairy-tale like (kept emphasizing that it's the feel of a children's movie)
So there's no sex scene

He said, because there's no scene of Bi stripping
the female crew members were all very disappointed
Also, working with young actors/ actresses makes him feel like he's returned to his childhood.

Through this interview, the names of the leads are finally revealed:
Jihoon's character is called Il-soon
Im Soo-jung's character is called Young-gun
Very unique feel to it

In Korea, Il-soon is usually the name of a woman (Eg, "My Name is called Kim San Soon")
And Youn-gun, which has a strong and soldier-like feel to it, is usually the name of a man
So the first time we heard the names, we couldn't help but laughed...
Very unique names that makes the anticipation stronger

Director Pak also said
When the script was still incomplete
he was considering quietly to make this feel like a children story (like a fairy-tale)
On a rare occasion, Rain came during the premier of Sympathy for Lady Vengence
At that time, Director Pak thought, "Why not?"

He used to worked with well-trained and experienced actors/ actresses with lots of personality
Now, he wants to work with an actor who is doing a movie for the first time.
(Someone with little acting knowldge but very talented)

According to sources, only 6 days of shooting, out of the planned 45 days of shooting has been completed
The movie will be screening in December...so looking forward!


2. Rain's popularity is still number 1

Let me relate a happy but "of-course" news to you
Remember my first post on Rain's popularity in Korea?
At that time, the news I gave you
(An artiste popularity chart that is published twice a year by an well-esteemed organisation)

The research company is called LPR, it is a company specialising in researching
Also, the report they research on every year is authoritative and fair
(Although the sample size is small, but data-collection is very strict)
Advertisers often refer to the results of this rsearch
So it is not an exaggeration that this chart is representative of an artiste's popularity in Korea
LPR concluded this research in end-March and released the results for first half of 2006.

Date: 25 Mar - 31 Mar
Target group: Male and female between 13 to 65 y.o. living in the 5 major cities of Korea. Sample group of 350

Actor:
Male - Jang Dong Gun (17.2%)
Female - Jun JiHyun (9.2%)

Singer:
Male � Rain (19%)
(Kim Jong Guk 6.6%, Tae Jin-A 4%, DBSK 3.8%, SgWannabe 3.8% etc)
Female � Lee Hyori (15.6%)

As you all know, Rain hasn't been active in Korea since 2005
However, his position in Korea is still the same
From 2004 till 2006, he is still in the first place
Moreover, the difference between the first and second place is really huge

As for S*ven, although he is still very active now, he is unable to make it into the charts
But the truth is in Korea, S*ven is still not Rain's match

I understand, all of you are a little doubtful of his popularity in Korea
But...in Korea, his fame is no longer constrained to the singer of "I do"

Children all the way to grannies all know and love him (as do my grandma)
Also, even members of parliaments like him (there was a report the other time)
They announced his achievements in Asia and the challenge of US in government public announcements.

Recently, in Korea, there is a mock stock market for artistes
and Rain was the first in the artiste category (valuation of the "stock" is based on popularity of the artiste)
It is said that because his contract with JYPE is expiring soon,
Even the real stock market (Entertainment sector) is also monitoring Rain closely.

One more good news
After Bi endorsed LG X-Note notebook, sales picked up tremendously
At the moment, seems like the sales figure will soon catch with Samsung sense notebook. So happy!
(Coincidentally, Samsung sense is now using Im Soo-Jung as a endorser)

All above content is true. I swear!
Will post again when there's more news!

[roes_susita]

Im glad knowing more news bot this film now

WOW Bi I can see U playing PINGPONG ( that call in Indobesian, same withtable tennis)
that is a table in front og U !!!!!

but way Ur friends looking people playing PINGPONG, pose like ceremony at somewhere

ops OMG I forgot they metal patient. . . . so, so funny. . .

Current result from Time Poll..I think a lot of people are voting right now or their server can't handle so many people voting at the same time so been getting network errors...

Would love for Bi to win but even if he doesn't win, I am proud of him for making it on the list. Would love for Ang Lee to win since he is leading and is another Asian!

Ang Lee: 44%
Clint Eastwood: 19%
Rain (Bi): 16%

Definately no romance between Bi and Sun Li... She looks a bit old for him I think. Like Pau. said.. looks more like brother and sister and she should have taken the oppurtunity to hug Bi!!! ekekekek Love the CF though! Bi look so nice in Red!!!

Ray: Thank you for the translation!!!

[locarno]

the song in the pantech mv, is it sung by rain?

[freya1507]

Ang Lee: 44%
Clint Eastwood: 19%

think so too ...no romance ... i even heard from a taiwanese bi fan that she did not talk nice about him in chinese media ...he wasn't nice enough to her!????
but not sure what we should take for real if it comes from chinese media

ahhhh love him in red

[BishieAddict]

*saving this tred from page 2...*

agree with you, eventhough Bi is not win (again) this time.... im very proud that his name on the list.....!!!!

n Bi is getting low...n low... now... he's only 14 %!!!!!

yeah i feel that Bi n Sun Li dont have the chemistry, i even look that Sun LI bit afraid looking straight at Bi's eyes!!! hahhahahha....

[xingjing]

I voted for the Time poll thing and I could vote like a bajillion times. I think that's really stupid of Time because then it's totally rigged. Well, of course, NO DUH.

Those stupid people who rig these polls... *wants to go shoot them*

Though, I wouldn't be like all disappointed if he loses to Ang Lee. He deserves it, I guess. Not Bi losing, of course. Ang Lee deserves winning.

But it's still pretty good that he has like 16%. I think it's not 14% because more people voted. Wonder how many times I need to click *vote* before that 14 turns into a 15... XD

[liu_xing_girl]

I was watchin tru my collection and came across this (downloded recently)
Bi MV when he was in the Fan club... I dun know the song- it's quite catchy though.
Too bad I could not make out his voice... he was not the main singer

So sad... he was always at the back (may be because of his height).. and very
difficult to catch him.. I mean he not in the focus most of the time..

But I can distinguish his dance from the rest... Ahh.. the Jihun trademark was there..
I dun know - it's just something about his move that make him different from the
rest... .. I am bias..

I wonder what happen to the rest?? Are they as succesfull as him??

actually Bam we were wondering also about his ex-groupmates...on what happened to them. one of his groupmates is cute too

im DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW!! excited!!! i cant wait to watch it

thanks bam for converting it

and i think this is the little jihoon i can kinda tell by his eyes [at least i hope thats him]


his eyes dont look that small here, in fact, one of the biggest..haha

yup, that's uri Bi. and yeah, his eyes were not so little there. i guess those were the times when he "tried" to make his eyes look bigger


as for the Time Poll thing...i guess we just have to do our best & "try" to make Bi win. but like what others have said, if he doesn't it's okay too. i just hope he loses to someone worthy if ever .

[Bambiina]

Girls - don't worry too much about the poll. We just keep voting.

I just feel like Bi is used - (in a good way though) .. now every
Clint eastwood supporter/george clooney supporter would be
wondering who the hell is RAIN? What has he possibily him
to deserve the "seat" up there?? ...

Hmmm - good good publicity for him.

The rest of the candidate - is well known world wide..

never tot uri jihoon could be in the same class as george clooney
and Clint Eastwood???

common - Clint Eastwood is a legend... ...

and to think that he was a "nobody" in 2004 (to the world) ....

Aja Aja..

Continue voting - no retreat no surrender...
Silent Fans - I know you are out there.. help Bi too..

All korean (not you sandra ) .. vote!!!
