Guys! I think about TIMES most influent people in the world have to count how popularity a person/people are ( in the entertainment/showbiz field) also. Like the lady/or guys that we heard the most around us and in our life .... no matter what the person job or what they are doing that can influence ! Like last year 2006, my family and I never heard of Ande Lee, the director for movie Broke back, before, but his movie had mentioned over and over with the new trend movie everywhere... Even I did not like his movie at all still saw, heard many people around me mentioned, comment about it (both positive and negative) ..... So I have to check it out ... and I still did not like it ... hehehhe ...

So did Ande Lee influence me? Somewhat! I say because I never like any type of the movie like "Broke back", and still had to check it out because of curiousy .... hehehhe .... It was so POPULAR indeed!

Thus, I think although the Poll of the Times magz. does not count much toward the position in 100 most influential people, but I think the Time magz directors and adminintratives still look at it to see how popular the person is in making final decison.
And Rain was indeed really popular in Asia at that time in 2005, 2006 .... the poll was voted by marjority people in Asia I heard!

Btw, in the entertainment/showbiz field: POPULARITY is one of the most important factors for the artists right ????
In this field .... you do not need to do any charity or donate money to be famous ; your talents and creativities that count the most!

Hi all - looks like the King of Thailand is going to overtake Rain within the next couple of hours. His votes are increasing about 5x times faster than Rain's. Keep voting for Rain, anyhow!

***and give him 100 points (not 98 like the King of Thailand's fans said)... It will affect his ranking!***

OOAME,

If u better read my former post, you'll see I've voted for both my King and Bi.
I'm a Thai ppl who respect my great King like the father and I'm also a fan of Bi too, a big one I would say.

My method is for anyone who got error in voting by giving 100 points like me. I tried that method and it works.
So I think if anyone can't vote coz always got error, it's better to vote with giving 98 instead, isn't it?
Coz if u cant vote, it means u cannot give Bi even 1 point.....got me?

No reason for me to trick any Biers here.


Edit : anyway, you SHOULD NOT use the word 'the King of Thailand's fans'. Every single Thai is HIS PEOPLE not FAN.

Someone is sabotaging Rain and it's making me mad.

[J.lee]

^It's pretty obvious that some Kpop fans(jealous K-pop fans) are doing it.
Anyway,i think they are jealous to the max i could laugh my heart out,that their "Favorite singer/singers" aren't THERE.So instead they are voting for him to go down,like push the rate on a low rate.
LOL.Or am i being paranoid i see comments like
"Rain doesn't care you. He cares about your money. Why not have all of his funds go to the AIDS program? Anyone can give PART of their fund to anything. And what is up with having his picture on his world tour plane? How vain.

If he can break the Asian stereotype, then why can't he speak English without using a script as his handicap?

He barely recognizes world events happening around him! Even Rain wouldn't want himself to be #1. THERE ARE MORE DESERVING PEOPLE OUT THERE.

So stop cheating, Rain fans. You're no better than ones who are voting for the other candidates numerous times.

Btw, he's not going to break in the US music industry. Despite with all the connections JYP has, the American public will not be open to him."

edit:How can stephen colbert fans know Rain or JYP Or his Face on the plane?

Anyway,i'm already glad he's there once again.THE first Korean Pop artist EVER.We didn't say he is the most deserving,
It's just that as a fan whose been supporting him all these years,i think i have a choice to support him right?Isn't that an initiative?Obsessed?,it's just an instinct whether you like it or not.
well,not the exactly"make him no.1" and vote endlessly(i voted like 20x?) hahaha..yeah.
and u can call me what you want.It's my choice.

raspb3rry: I prefer it that way,so Rain fans don't get like those comments above posted "Cheating".
LOL.

lol i think its more stephen colbert fans or something

[EverCool]

Are we still doing the voting thing? Let me know so i can go back and vote for him.

BTW The King of Thailand must be a good man because G>W>B> was on that list and i didn't vote for him once. .... I feel bad about that though :/

[raspb3rry]

I think they've changed it. You can only vote once? Coz voting is back, but even though I vote, the number of votes do not go up even after I refresh the page. Rain's down to number 5 when I last checked it ><.

[KimSamSoon's craziie fan]

yey, rain is # 4 rite now!

[willenette]

I voted several times & gave my comments but how come his ave. rating came down from 96 to 90?

[nglkt]

BI'S ONLY SECOND WITH 51000+++ votes!!! I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE ERROR VOTING BUT TRY TRY AGAIN!!! and pls do not use the method of putting the rating to 98 because it will drop the average rating when ppl put it at hundred!!! TRY TO PUT IT AT HUNDRED OK???


edit: within a moment of seconds, bi's FIRST again!! but still vote ok???

[Bambiina]

I already apologized for my mistake and I have already made my point on why I think it didn't make sense. I just don't know why you have to bring the 'Bikyo stuff' in.
I believe it was me who started the discussion/argument/fighting/however which way people wanna call it. Why does this thread has to be all about the same views? The way I see it, the 'discussion' yielded good results as now, people are thinking of better ways to express why they think Rain is influential. I am not taking credit for that, of course. I'm just glad that at least now, people are thinking more clearly.

Anyway, I apologize for ruffling this thread a lil' bit again. I'll try my best to bite my tongue from now on.

I'm guilty too ...

But those that think we are arguing are more "guilty" than us ... And by now I hope everyone could differentiate between
discussion and argument. Constructive critism and destructive critism.

BTW Pau I don't want comment such as - awww "he's hot"... "OMG he's so sexy" all the time.

Jen - It does not matter how the voting works - Some would still accuse us - cheating . The thread "Rain does not deserve *insert title*
will surely surface anytime soon and right now I'm preparing a reply template - "the meaning of influential" -
"why Bi won the BaekSang award" ---> Just incase... or "Why Bi didn't win the Baeksang Award" .. I'm sure I will need one
of it soon.

BTW Jen - I think TIMES allowed multiple voting (not considered as cheating) or else they would have create a system that only allow one vote per IP.
I'm sure they still "remember" the TIME HEROES poll - I believe the server went down?? They should know by now
that poll involving Rain will create storm.. .. Some of us are just crazy.. The poll was discontinued and neither Pasquale (pls
correct me) nor Rain was chosen.. rite??

So they had the experience... and still they allow multiple voting - same goes to last year time poll - Ang Lee and Rain..
and this time Rain and Ang Lee did make it to the list - anyway the poll was NOT taken into consideration - rite?? But still there
are people that think because of our vote he was chosen - isk isk isk STUPID huh?????

BTW Gals - Please no post such as - Fans of *insert name* cheating - Everything is fair and square.

[pink_is]

^haha, BAM you cracked me up .. that was one fun poll - or the jaychow discussion too. like you said, ppl should know by now that poll with RAIN in it - for sure, they'll have strange visitors constantly..

happy that the spirit of voting is still here! ^^

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY .. JIHOON FIGHTING !!

[nglkt]

Happy Birthday Rain!!
it's been five years since he used the name Rain,
Within five years, he created a massive storm in the world and he will still continue to reign
In another five years, he should be looking for a girl and live happily ever after~

BTW, there is a video on youtube which tells the fortune of Rain. i believe many of you guys have seen it!!! the predictions are all coming true... i believed the predictions.
CLICK HERE to watch it.

[inconnu!*]

lol I'm hoping more that those nasty comments are from jealous KPOP fans and not foreign fans.
Less argument in that box of opinions will help us... I think sometimes when we defend him, we
get on other people's terfs and then they start taking it offensively. An argument breaks out
and foreign fans will even have a worse impression on Bi and his fans. Hopefully nothing too
hectic will occur later on.

But on a happier note. HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY TO BI! =D
