[Park Jin Young, "I leave the decision to Rain if he will re-sign the contract"]



Park Jin Young talked about Rain at the MBC variety program "Goldfish" on March 14.

"I consider him as a brother but when it comes on stage, he is my rival. With regard to Rain's re-signing of the contract, it has been rumored that he was offered 5,000,000,000 won. If he does choose to transfer to another agency, I would like to have the same relationship with him like what we have now. Rain should have his freedom to decide", said Park.

Park Jin Young also expressed that his responsibility as a manager is big but he would like to return as a singer.

When asked about his dream, he said that before dying, he would like to sing on stage.

[Rain’s World Tour, added a concert in Australia]



On April 7, Rain will be holding a concert in Sydney, Australia.

"There were a lot of invitations for me to perform in Australia but transporting 28 tons of equipment is hard so we just had to deal with that problem first before finally pushing through with the concert”, Rain's agency commented on the 19th.

After Rain’s concert in Taiwan on March 31, he will be going to Australia. Th he will hold his next concert in China.

I think he should change his costume and dialogue for next concert. To suprise fans. I kinda think his tour concerts are kinda similar. I know it sounds demanding but it's for his benefit.Becuz his previous concerts are all over youtube and kinda same performance. I hope he'll do differently this time...

^ same here

[samantha luz]

wow they are so lucky.. they were able not just to visit the korea but also JYPE and Rain also... lucky students...

[ladymac]

Hi all! It's been a looooooong time since I posted on here. I'm listening to Bi's 4th cd right now!! (I finally ordered it & it came yesterday) This 'USA' cd -is it going to be different or something or just a re-release?? I'm confused. Thanks!!

[yurika975]

Ok, sorry If I offend anyone when I say this in regards to the now NOt going to happen US fanmeet: Double standard?? What double standard? Apparently some people can't read! It was only a poll for JYPE to know and have an idea of the number of fans that are residents of the USA. That is why the poll was only for USA residents (and canadian) NO one EVER EVER said anything about the fanmeet being only for USA fans. That is freaking stupid and ridiculous! And the complaining and tantrums that some fans have had! OM freaking G!! God forbid he even ackowledges any fans other than his asian clouds fans. (he doesn't) only the fans in asian he thanks. But most have been ok. You don't see us acting like small screaming toddlers that he has fanmeets in korea and japan. And did he not throw a free concert to thank these same complaining selfish fans? And i do recall some complains even then about the Free concert. By the same FANs!!! It was Free! sometimes there is no pleasing some people. Here is the thing, as Rain has said he wants to break into the USA market. What would it have hurt to accomodate usa fans by having a fanmeet also in usa? NOt a damn thing!! There are barriers yes to success in usa. Language barrier and he also need support of fans here. Many of the USA fans are fans that do not speak korean, some are not even asian. This shows his appeal and talent. Music is universal. I think Rain is proof of that!

[fatgrrl_slim]

Uhm, about the free concert... if you're talking about the 4th album showcase, it wasn't entirely 'free'. International fans had to shell out an enormous amount of money to get good seats for that concert, and that's why we were complaining before. Because *money* became the deciding factor in getting prime seats for a supposedly *free* concert. I guess that's a very minor thing, but I just wanna clear that part out.

[Shaister]

I'm sorry for not being clear! I also thought that it's open to all, because it's not easy to gather 1000 people to join the fanclub, but I just received an email from one of the members that the Cloud USA pre-registration is only open to US and Canadian residents. However, the website Rain-USA is open to everyone else. You don't have to be a Cloud member to register for the site.

About having fanmeets aside from Korea, what our mod did was to talk to Rain's management, and they gave him a compromise that if Rain USA can come up with 1000 people for the fanmeet, then we can have one. If you already belong to a Rain org in your area, maybe you can also talk with JYPE with regards to that matter.

Ok so that is what I said. I said that the PRE-REGISTRATION is open to US AND CANADIAN RESIDENTS. I never said that the FANMEET is not open to overseas fans. Ok wait, maybe I did on the later posts, but I did try to get it clear that it is the POLL that is for US/Canada fans. Now people are throwing stones at each other about this, and as much as I would like to ignore the ruckus I've caused, I will take the blame for the misunderstanding.

But why does it bother you if only US fans can attend the fanmeet anyway? Will you die if you can't attend JUST ONE fanmeet, when people here are eager to support Rain, but CANNOT understand anything about CLOUD MEMBERSHIP, when in order to join a fanmeet, you have to be a CLOUD? That is just very SELFISH for those people who claim they've seen Rain a hundred thousand times. A lot of US fans haven't even seen him yet, and rely on translations just to get tidbits of him, BUT DO YOU SEE THEM COMPLAINING? What would have been a good way to introduce Rain to US fans was just.. I don't know.. abrupted.. by the seemingly immature voice-outs of DOUBLE STANDARDS, which I never actually felt was done by the Rain USA administrators. And if, however, Asian fans were accommodated, you would complain again about going to a US fanmeet when it's very far and costly. I just don't understand what it is that you want.

So Cloud Membership will still be in Korean, which I understand nothing of. No opening for new English Cloud Membership, which most nonKorean-speaking fans could have benefited a lot. And of course, no fanmeet. There you go. I hope most people here are happy now.

^070327 chosun - RAIN與訪韓哈佛大學生見面

Art, it means Rain has a meeting with students from Harvard university who were visiting Korea...
hahaha how come Kim Rae Won is not there ???!! (Yes I know it is a corny joke but I cannot help it)

Yea-Rain does look happy n like a kid there...n the joke is funny...hahahha..

Rain! I don't want you to be in prison break. I like prison break but I don't want you to be a copy cat. This 'll take you nowhere eventhough it's nice that your acting is appreciated.
But you can develope your own style as I believe you have great talent and potential. Doing things that'll make you stand out and respected. Imitating other people work won't do anything good for you.
When you're new, admiring your idols is understandable (like michael jackson, maybe usher) as this is how everybody started.But your status is now different.Your fans, media,ect.. expecting from you is not copying other's work.They're looking forward to your own work.
I believe you've already started. You have talent, energy, creativity and attitude to fulfill your dream.You also have great mentor to help you with this.Creativity play one of the most important part.
When people're imitating your song, your move and your performance in a good way, I love it as I take it they like your work and performance.
For acting, I hope you choose the plot and character carefully for next project as so many people are interested in and watching what you're going to do next. I do love to see you in action or Kong fu style movie or comedy(you've done comedy but never get old) .If you get a role that's close to your real life character, then it'll be interesting and could be a hit. You've done the great job so far for choosing drama and movie.
About your debut in USA, I hope you well prepare and consider rather than rushing before step into it.I think you can make it US.But as americans are hard to please if you're from asia.Start from language barrier. But if you are determined and talented, you can make it.Might take a little time as you have to prove to them that you're Rain/Jung Ji Hoon, not korean usher or korean justin timberlake.
Starring in korea prison break is a big NO.This could effect you in a way.
I'm just saying all this from my heart for your own good.
I hope this doesn't sound demanding or bashing. I'm sorry as it sounds like talking to Rain becuz I'm typing what's from top of my head.
I mean no offence to anyone. I'm sorry if I say something wrong.

I totally agree with what you said...he shouldn't do prison break because then he will be just another star imitating hollywood...and that would be contradicting what JYP said about Rain not copying American stars and singers, but is doing his own thing with just some Western mix. Rain should definitely do a project that will make others see more of his acting skills and be in awe-not copy others and be critized for doing so. I hope what i have wrote make sense-lolz...at work now so head is bit out of touch.

[azn_kira]

I"m sorry if this topic was already discussed, but i remember about 2 weeks ago there was talks of Rain switching companies? and JYP was stepping down as CEO of JYPE? Can anyone clarify how that whole situation settled? @-@ thanks!
