Korean pop superstar Rain, known as Bi in Korean, held a successful first concert of his world tour in Las Vegas, the United States at 8 p.m., Las Vegas time, on Saturday (Dec. 24). The 24-year-old K-pop star took the stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, aiming to make inroads into the North American market. It was the largest concert ever given by a Korean artist and his second outing in the U.S., following two sold-out concerts in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City last February.
Rain has expanded his fan base from New York in the east to Las Vegas in the west only 10 months after his debut on the U.S. stage. He was also named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World this year.
About 3,800 fans packed the venue where world-class artist Celine Dion is a resident performer and where Elton John and Gloria Estefan have also given concerts. About 90 percent of the audiences were Asian fans from Japan, China, Singapore and Taiwan. At the concert, titled Rain's Coming, he successfully hosted the two-hour concert in English featuring 21 songs with stunning dance sequences. I exist because of your support. My dream has come true, he said in gratitude to a fervent response from his fans. I am very proud of Rain who stood up on the stage where world-class pop stars are used to performing, Moon Ji-hyun, 24, who saw the show, said.
The ticket price costing $98-$288 was high, but the concert was sold out just one week after ticket sales opened. Stage direction was by Jaime King renowned for Madonna's recent Confessions Tour, and Christina Aguilera's choreography, working with lighting specialist Roy Bennett, and visual director Dago Gonzalez. Park Jin-young, producer of Rain's music and CEO of the JYP Entertainment, and Lil Jon, producer of Yeah sung by Usher attended the concert.
Rain is receiving acclaim as an international celebrity as his first movie I am a Cyborg, But That's Okay directed by Park Chan-wook, was invited to the Berlin International Film Festival in the competitions section. He had been invited to sing at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Doha Asian Games in Qatar, but his tight schedule prevented him from attending.
His world tour will span 35 cities in 12 countries, including Hong Kong Jan. 12-13, Singapore Jan. 21, Malaysia Jan. 27, Thailand Feb. 3, Vietnam March 10-11 and Taiwan, China, Japan, the U.S. and Canada afterwards. StarM, the entertainment agency organizing the concert, is in charge of coordinating with travel agencies from different countries to make it easier for fans to watch the show.

Rain Voted Most Likely to Dominate 2007
The singer-actor Rain has been named the male celebrity most likely to make 2007 his year. In an online poll by the Sports Chosun, a sister publication of the Chosun Ilbo, between Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 asking which male celebrity will make the year his own, Rain came top with 32 percent. In 2006, he rose to stardom on the global stage beyond Asia, making it onto the list of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people as the first Korean entertainer, and performing at Madison Square Garden in New York in February, a first for an Asian singer. His popularity is to continue this year, too, as he has embarked on world tour he named "Rain's Coming" to coincide with the release of his fourth album.
The nos. 2 and 3 were Song Seung-hun with 24.1 percent and Yoon Kye-sang with 17.2 percent; both just completed their military service. Song started his schedule officially when he visited Japan in December and is currently looking at screeplays. He is expected to stage his comeback either in a drama or a movie soon. Yoon already decided on his first show after his discharge. He is to co-star with Lee Mi-yeon in the SBS drama "Crazy for You", which starts airing in February. Seven, another singer who has taken up acting, was ranked fourth with 12.5 percent. He will star in the MBC drama "Palace S-Prince House", to be aired in October this year, alongside Heo I-jae and Park Shin-hye.

Do the Rain dance

Is two years a worthy wait? Rain (pic), who released his last album a couple of years ago, is certainly hoping so, what with his new offering Rains World. The new album is a collection of songs that promises to be the most significant of his career.
Rains World features the energetic R&B flavoured first single, Im Coming, which was produced by long-time collaborator JYP and highlights the rapping of fellow Korean artiste Tablo.
Since the release of Im Coming in October, the single has been taking the worlds charts by storm.
Rain will be embarking on his Rain Is Coming world tour to promote the album and stops include the United States, Japan, China, Malaysia and many more for a total of 35 concerts in 12 countries, but not before the first show in Seoul. Its his concert in Las Vegas, which promises to be the most intriguing, though, given that itll be his first there.
In conjunction with the successful album and concert tour, Warner Music Malaysia is letting a Malaysian be up close and personal with the singer.

A car carrying Koreas top pop star Rain was stopped by Hong Kong police last Thursday for violating the speed limit, according to reports.
Rain, who has become an Asian heartthrob, was in Hong Kong Jan. 12-14 for concerts. It was part of the 25-year-olds World tour titled ``Rains Coming. The tour started in Korea last December.
Rains car was chased by a horde of paparazzi, who have closely followed the star since his arrival Wednesday, reports said. In an attempt to escape the pursuers, Rains car sped to 100 km/h exceeding the speed limit of 80 km/h.
As police stopped Rains car, the following cars of the paparazzi and fans also halted, creating a major traffic disorder. The police charged the driver about 450 Hong Kong dollars, or 54,000 won ($58).
Despite the incident, Rains Hong Kong concerts thrilled fans with extravagant stage effects and the clean-cut singers flashy dance moves, reports said.

Why they don't add something like the "conducteur/driver"? to the article,it seems as if Rain was the one
driving,the same article was published/posted in Korean sites,they don't clearly say that it was the driver andnot Rain driving?.

I think she/he just got mad because the security guards pushed she/he out of having a a good view and closest to Rain in the Singapore press conference .....So she/ he wrote the articles with the bitter sour mind ...
I just think maybe Rain having too many Security guards arround him .... That may make people feel and view he is an ice cold or unfriendly or not down to earth person ....I think I may feel the same way if I am not a Bier as Rain walking pass by me with 10 or even more of that Security guards around him
Anyway I still feel very worried about the concert on Sunday ... What will he do with still injured hand ?? All I can do now is Wish him the best and pray :
Rain fighting !!!!

Yes, that article made me feel a bit bitter -.-
The person who wrote it got the wrong idea.
Bi isn't cold... besides, everyone is like that when they
are in a lack of sleep and not to mention still walking
around with an injured arm. I'd say, that reporter
should be grateful to Bi that he was even there to
begin with when he could've simply avoid Singapore's
World concert with that arm. =/
