Awww that's soo good to hear!! im soo happy for rain =)

Apparently he's leaving on Monday. just not sure when exactly. i wanna go to the airport again!!!
is there a lot of people planning to go?

[Bambiina]

Wooow! Look at some of the concert pixs ... has made me LOVE his hair now ... kiki ... His hair looks upper good with the mix images of FH and A love to kill blending together and it is not too loong or too short....just perfect !!!!!.... He should keep this style of hair for the rest of World tour ...hehhehe I love it!

btw, concerning about the nearly 8,000 people in Australia concert, I'm still very pleased and won't complain. As compare to US concerts with big promotions and stuffs, the seating for some US concerts (even in LV last year) are just around 3,000 to 5,000 seats ... So I think it is completely OK for the Austra. concert with not much promotions at all and still was be able to pull 8,000 audiences ... So not bad right?

I am totally in love with the hair... he gorges.... absolutely gorges.... Not too short and not too long... I love it..

Bam, hello to you too!
You read my mind like a book! I do need to slim down, just in case he and i do come face to face�

Everyone need to slim down when it comes to "meeting Bi in person"... your weight would never be perfect.. even if you look like
a model.. you would still wanna slim down..... That's the power of Bi... wahahaha.... keep us in shape...

Hi Paulette...i actually went to the after concert party with a friend...unfortunately, Bi never showed up.
it was really awful coz people were waiting for him for the longest time. we're now wondering if it's even an official party.
the organizer just gave a partial refund...

anyway, good to hear the concert went well. wasn't able to go though this time. hope to attend the next one.

La medd................ long time no see...

I guess it's not his problem. I'm sure the organizer was informed in advance if there's fan meet.

BTW - I wonder how many "official ticket" sold? Out of 8000 ppl how many actually bought the tix?. Even if only half - I'm amazed that he could pull
that much crowd with such a short notice. The crowd in the mosh pit look quite pack.


Jen/Sam - I wish more ppl would just try once (I mean go to his concert)... It is really worth it.. worth every penny...
I wish I have more money and enough time.. It's something cannot be explain really... Even if he only perform like
70% - it's still worth every penny (not that I encourage you (Bi) to do less).

And you know what... Rain/water on the stage has become quite a practice nowadays - ..... I heard other artist is also having the rain effect
in their concert....


Edward - I hope you would be less strict to us now that we don't have anywhere to go.. we can't post news of his music in the korean drama thread
anymore.. Anything regarding his music has to come here.. I am not too sure about us posting links... is it allowed edward??? Pity us Edward... we have
no where to go.. allow us to post links here... I mean CB link, YSI etc etc...


BTW Pau - The "waiting" is over...2nd April...

[nakka]

I must say, I was certainly surprised.

Before hand I had seen footage of some other concerts and his voice was rather off tone, etc.
The performance last night was greatly improved.

His dancing... OMGosh!
I've always been one to say WooHyuk is a better dancer but now I'm not so sure.
Perhaps that is due to viewing limited footage of Rain's dancing... anyway I was certainly impressed with his wide array of moves. Such power and control over his body... Amazing!!!!

He obviously put in a lot of hard work and effort to please his fans, for that I'm thankful along with putting on an amazing show that I'll never forget. I was not the greatest Rain fan (Wheesung, Lee Soo Young, Epik High, etc are my most favoured artists) before the show but he won my future support last night.

Pictures? Didn't get any aside from a couple on my old phone so the quality is not good. My ticket had no recording devices, etc printed on it so I didn't take a camera. Not that big of a deal as many others here were just as close and got some great pictures. Thanks for the effort in uploading guys. ^.^

The bad but not so bad? Waiting was not the most fun thing and it was made worse due to knowing nobody there. My friends were unable to go. >.<
He didn't use enough towels... Not that I'd want one being a white guy and all but he never threw one over to the side I was on. (VIP, up front, slight left of centre)

I forgot to buy a T-Shirt and Cap!!! Grrrrrrrrrr... So disappointed but that's my own fault.

Overall:
Was it worth the $400 to me?
Very much so.
I had came in with not so good expectations of what the show would be like from seeing older shows, however was blown away by an excellent show.
In fact it is a little disappointing that there wasn't greater promotion and more than one event down under.
Being on break from uni, I would probably travel and pay that much and go see another show.

Always been one to praise that music is more a personal experience and the few concerts I have been to didn't do anything to change this view. Perhaps that was due to the style of music performed at that show, etc but Rain's concert has somewhat changed that.
Some things are just so much better live.
Thank you Rain.

Not just coming from a white guy but also one of Rain's more harsh critics; I'm sure this sound pretty fangirlish (minus the "I LOVE RAIN", etc). It's all true though. The show was fantastic, very few minor disappointments.

I'm just repeating myself now so...post over.

[newlili]

@Bambiina:: I read from the fan accounts in the Ausii Soompi section they said that there were about nearlly 6,000 tickets sold and the rest were handded down for free ...... However, I'm still pleased with the tickets selling as compared to NY concert last year as Rain's 1st time in the US, about 5,000 tickets for the concert were sold out for 1, 2 days (the concert's area was just about 5,000 seats only), however, the NY concert had to do huge promotions like hanging concert posters on every street in the China town, TV news, local news and so on ....So this is the 1st time Rain was in Sydney and many people did not even know about it: some Aussi said his concert news and stuffs were not even on the 1st page of the local newspaper ... but the tickets sell were still good ... I think it was the organizer's fault to order a big area for a concert : 20,000 seats for the 1st time concert in Australia was too much I think,; they could order a smaller area about 8,000 seats and the concert would be 100% filled up (:

Thank you for the post.... I have been trying to tell this to his "antis" - just give him a chance. Give him a break... . He may not be the best
but he surely will impress you.

He doesn't has the best voice but combine with his dance, energy, great props - he is one amazing performer.. could be one of the best (Asian).

Can't wait for his US concert - I hope it will be as good as this...


Newlili - TQ for the confirmation..... 6000??? WOW... THAT IS amazing - I mean in such short notice and practically no promotion.
and I believe the ticket is quite expensive.. right?? I wonder how much is the ticket range for an asian concert???
Is Raincoming tix expensive or is it normal price??

[fwnc_b!]

Thanks for sharing all the fans' account.. It's like deja vu all over again. It seems like the concert in Malaysia was just yesterday... I'm glad that alot of people with not so good expectations, now because of the concert was blown away... Indeed, each and every concert of his are awesome, incomparable, so to say... hehe... The special effects, the choreography, the props, it's just too much to take it. All too awesome. Glad that it went well in Australia, with no accidents or anything...

Thanks for the wonderful pics, the fancams.. Compared to his showcase, he looked more thin then, and he got a lil bit chubbier after his Malaysia's concert, and then, now tanned and toned.. Not too thin.. Just nice.. 3 days straight at the beach huh? ^^

Bam I'm actually surprised you're back on Soompi.. How's the baby doing? Girl, if not mistaken? Glad you're back!

^.^
I forgot to give props to all the backup dancers, vocalists and production crew. They also all did a fantastic job.
I'm glad I found out in time after checking the schedule last month and Australia not having been listed.

I highly recommend that everyone does go and see one of his shows if they have the chance.

Now if only more artists would follow Rain's cue and do a World Tour.
That'd be awesome!

Yes thanks a lot for your comment too. You make me feel SO PROUD

Too bad I can never make it to his World tour I missed it when he came to Vietnam, and I'm having the most important exam in my life in July, plus the money problem, so it's kinda obvious that I will never make it Just download all the fancams like crazy

But I'm hoping for an even more fantastic tour next year when he released his 5th album
At that time I will definitely do everything to see him. Wanna have so much fun like you guys too

[nglkt]

his hair is gorgeous! hopes he keeps at least until after the bkk concert!!! ( needs to see the hair live)
and the attendance for his sydney concert is a great achievement actually despite the obstacles and you see he turned non fans to fans. this was something that rainy day couldnt have done so well...(actually after my friends saw some parts of the rainy day concert, they were quite turned off)

his concerts in the US brought hope to ppl who likes kpop. and he is defintely the first korean and asian artist to do that. his current world tour, brings ppl to know him and turn into fans to prepare for his debut in the US( after the concert ppl in the US will like him and thus support his album). i think this is a fantastic long term stratergy of making a sucessful debut in the US. SMART! through this tour, he will have a higher percentage of succeeding in the global market!


suggestion:

i wonder if we are allowed to give daily updates of jung ji hoon (actor) in this music thread so that ppl wont have to go to the drama thread to check for his news. likewise in the jung ji hoon thread, we can provide music updates too! but i think this is the era of Rain instead of jung ji hoon but not letting our thread in the kdrama section die, i think updates are good forms to keep the thread alive.

MODS, are we allowed to do that??
EVERYONE, do you think we should do that??

only this is a pure suggestion and in no way breaking the rules...

and is any going to pm the first post-er of this thread to change the post?? it looks scanty

[orengi]

^Yes. We need to do something about the first post.
Anybody got a cool banner? We can vote for a new one ^___^.

thanks for All the photos J.Lee.
The comments made by the Acer Arena personnels proves Bi performance was "spectacular .
I can say this concert has converted many anti-Rain fans in Aus...

this photo is HUGE! ===> http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=68256943fw9.jpg

nakka: thanks for your fan account. Like J.Lee said its really insightful coming from a guy.
I think we've gotten enough of the -fangirlyness- from the concert. lol.

Please do not discuss things other than Bi here. It is considered spamming.

According to soomp the words highlighted in white/yellow will not be considered as spamming
if added in the comment about the subject.

Please correct me if I'm wrong... We are still very new here.. since there's double standard between korean music section
and drama section - we are quite confuse which is okay and which is not...

BBTW Fwn - That is spamming -

Nakka - I believe there will be some artist that would follow Bi footstep.. I mean about world tour concert.. just that some singers afraid
to try...

I was having doubt that Bi could ever pull this world tour - surprisingly the concert went well everytime.. there was quite reasonable
turnout...

I believe now people are more open. Other singer should try ....

Imagine Shinwa/Se7en here in M'sia... It would be great...

No, Bi's drama related news belong to his actor thread, and his music activites belong to his music thread. That's why we have 2 forums and 2 threads.

It is still considered spamming in our music forum when it is not topic related. I don't think it is any different in the drama forum. We do have our own rules here....and we are very strict about spamming and convoing in threads.
