how come the tickets for ATL, NY, and LA are on sale but not for SF yet?? B/c if anything, SF should be out b4 LA since SF's concert is 3 days b4 LA.
my goodness...
i hate this promotion of rain's concert. it's so rushed, and i feel like they had planned this out horribly.
sighhhh i just wanna see rain asap!!!!

[Poop-Shoop-A-Loop]

thanks for sharing!

does anyone have any HQ pictures of these, though?
i swear, i've been looking for them forever. T_T

There were some official HQ pic releases like during the fanmeeting last year, and a few before.. but for the most part not many has been let out on the net by the request of the Japan fans ^^; well that's what I'm assuming. Cause when other fans were posting the stuff up, the Japanese fans requested that we not do it .. and many have respected their wish. Well that's the only reason I can think of why there aren't many.

I will try to dig up some pictures for you ^^; I renember you asking before too. & to what you said about them comparing 'cause many are unaware of who Bi is. yeah, I thought of that but it still frustrated me, cause in many articles, he's always linked to another and it's like @___@;;.....

can't wait until he successfully (high hopes!) breaks into the US market. He'll no longer be known as the Asian Justin Timberlake, but the one who made it in the US !

[thosaid]

Did you guys just see Ticketmaster? Because the LA concert is up there now. Presale begins on Friday, 5/11 at 10:00 AM

Staples Center - Ticketmaster

whats the difference between presale and making reservations on the site? because so far ive only made reservations on the site...

i was looking through my photobucket album, and i suddenly
saw a few RFR pictures. i was like O.O haha cause i never knew
i had them.







their not really great quality, but yeah [:
i have the RoadForRain video thingy, & it
came with photos so i`ll probably scan them
tomorrow or Friday (=

[flyaway.]

He has to be here because I told him so. If not I will drag him myself.
Hehe anyway, yeah I'm pretty nervous about that too, kept thinking maybe he's not coming. But I'm positive he is. SFO has a pretty large Asian community here who supports Bi. In the meantime, let's just wait for the official ticket sales.

By the way, anyone from Bay Area willing to join us at the airport on Rain's arrival? If yes, then please pm me and I will give you our rep's email address. She's trying to see how many can come to the airport to greet Rain.

Omgg.. I will join you guys at the airport if he comes to SF! =D
I just hope he does.
*crosses fingers*

Malaysian Fans......today's Star paper there's write up of

[ctharyar]

eeyore,nglkt thanks for the translation.
Bi is leaving JYP on May 10th, keeps as independent status until the world concert tour is over.
Official annoucement will be given out on 10th..

翻譯By lovebi_rain FR 百度

Jinlee, is it comfirmed???
so he's not with JYPE anymore... I had that feeling this's gonna happen as JYP left b4 Rain's contract end "major clue"
He'll be independent until WT is over... Does that mean he'll sign up with some big name after that???
If he can't be with JYPE anymore, I love to see him independent... I believe in him. He can manage.
There are news everywhere that StarM wants to offer him 10 billions won just for signing bonus and also japanese company could offer potential 20 billions won.
As much as he might want to be his own boss, these figures are irresistable.just my thought.
StarM could be bad choice but who am I to judge. Japanese company! I don't have a clue.not even name. *sigh*
This is critical point/time for him to make a right decision.
funny! I was even thinking about his company names if ever he becomes independent. RAIN(his trademark) or JJH(Jung Ji Hoon) but definitely not BI (very misunderstanding for people who do not know him). hehehe....
He wants to becomes business man, Right? I think he can. you know. like, clothing line, perfume,music company or entertainment company, but only question is "Is he really rich or not over these 5 years under JYPE?"
his contract issue have affected the stock market. In current stock exchange, any stock related to Rain will show drastic increase in the price. put aside money matter, the main important thing is his future career and to fulfill his dream to be remembered when it rains! I want him to be more and more successful.
If JYP is not with JYPE anymore. no reason for him to regret to leave. JYP is the one who picked him and made him Rain.
I hope they'll still work together in the future. very talented guys, both of them...
I wanna say soooooo much but better stop here. my post is pretty long. gotta run to study as my exam is next month...
ALL THE BEST FOR RAIN!!! whatever he does...

Here is Rain's Press Conference:
Atlanta - Four Season Banquet Hall, 6:00PM
New York - Millenium UN Plaza, 3:00PM

US Fans pease support!

[nglkt]

i read some news from baidu and i found it really interesting

it states that Bi is a CEO himself now as he is under no company now. So, in the US, he has to find his own mode of transport, place to stay etc..(not might be surprising if we see him take a cab). he is independent now... his contract with JYPE extents only for his concerts but it does include how he is going to get there... He attends to everything like contract commercials etc... he signs and decides for himself. this is adding to the workload of busy bi...

the funny thing is that in the past half of what bi earns goes to JYPE!! HALF!!! so if he earns 1 million, JYPE get 500,000... that's crazy... so now, he has no contract with any company and ALL the money goes to him... haha! he gets the full million now =)

he seriously needs to make a good decision...

to keep his clean image, he should stay in JYPE. everyone knows that JYP created bi and bi is very grateful to him. think of it this way, if he leaves, some ppl will think that he is actually not grateful to JYP(JYPE wil lose money etc..) this kinda spoils his image

and JYP has great connections with the west... he can make bi debut in the US market... this is what other companies cant do...

StarM is a big "NO,NO" just see the way they organise rain's coming concerts... how many postponed and cancelled??? tickets only on sale a few weeks before the concerts...

another big problem now is bi's music...
JYP wrote/produced most of his songs... so if he change a producer/composer, bi's music will turn out really different... who knows if bi will be singing songs like "sexy back" then he is the true asian "justin timberlake" is this really what we want??? i love his current style of music... my friends hear it and they said that they have never of that style before... he sounds asian yet hip. that style is fantastic... and JYP is an excellent composer/producer! his songs(for himself) are great for eg, honey, she was pretty etc...

although some may complain of JYP's voice in front of some songs like it's raining and i'm coming, but i think they sound really good together! (JYP's voice started appearing since it's raining)

My opinion: STAY IN JYPE!!!

[J.lee]

I think he knows whats best for himself^ he's grown smarter.^So do you think that he needs to stay with JYPE for the rest of his entire career?

JYPE is not Park Jin young alone.
There's the CEO-Manager-Share holders and PJY.

I thought his dad bought shares at company(Star M) recently? .

Whatever,
just wondering if they will close Bi-Joyplace community after the minute he announce his decision.LOL.

[yurika975]

Well, remember JYP is leaving JYPE. Didn't he say he wanted to get back to making music. So maybe this is the same. I think it would be good. JYP has experience as a producer/songwriter, and performer himself. This coupled with Bi's own talent and experience. great

I second that....he should stay in JYPE!!!

He shouldn't even think about Star M...not very organized with the Rain's coming tour at all!!!!!

I didn't realize it was his voice but I actually don't mind having JYP's voice in front of songs...it's actually not bad.

[jinlees]

thanks jinlees,
finally, we got fan account with Bi in Spain.

aisyee...Bi, why he refused to take photo?
unless...he was with 'someone'.....opss
haa..haa i could imagine when Bi was in wolly hat n sunglasses, surely HOTT!!.
hee hee

Hearsay, the reason Bi refuses to take photo with fans is because of his portrait right concern.

ctharyar,
don't know yet, here is another news today
After May 10th, Bi is his own CEO, except the World concert tour which he still need to work with JYPE. For other matters,
he is going to sign all document by himself, and drive his own car. As before he shared money with JYPE is 5:5, right now as independent,
his income should rise up a lot...based on his close friend said, Bi feels headache where to go..

[10-May-07][Mydaily]Rain與舊東家協議到期 成�單人CEO� 收入暴漲　
Rain與JYP公司之間的協議今日到期，這也就意味著從今天開始到6月末Rain將以無所屬經濟公司歌手的身份參加各種活動，成爲親自處理每一件事情的 �單人CEO�。據悉目前身在美國的Rain，他的生活將從明天開始有所變化，首先是乘坐的交通工具，現在Rain在美國一切出行安排都由JYP經紀公司提供，不過從明天開始除跟美國巡演的相關事宜之外，Rain其他的活動安排將由他自己來安排。因爲美國巡演是Rain與JYP在協議期所布置的計劃，因此在演唱會期間有關演唱會的一切事宜仍有JYP公司負責。

與以往最大的不同是Rain將親自簽署與自己相關的一切協議，其中包括參加各個電視節目以及涉及到巨額金錢往來的廣告協議，Rain身邊一名好友透露：�Rain與JYP公司之間的協議已經到期，因此在Rain决定新的東家之前，所有活動將有Rain自己打理。�據悉協議結束之後，Rain的收入將大幅增長，因爲在這之前，Rain的收入是由Rain與JYP公司五五分賬的，今後除一些基本的費用之外大部分收入將被Rain收入囊中。目前Rain的去向成爲了韓國娛樂界頭號被關注的事情，Rain的這名好友表示：�Rain現在也爲今後的方向而在苦惱著，相信最後做出的决定一定是經過慎重考慮之後做出的。�

Rain's fans are completely separated to each other because of 2 threads about Rain. I think everyone who used to be active here should stick to this thread....there's no need to leave it for the thread in music zone.

Mod in music section does not like other language posts without English translatoin attached. My English isn't good,
so have to wait for others' help. when I post Chinese news, fan account, or whatever, I'd better to stay here..

[parkjunwung]

So he is not been under any company now ? It's official statement ?

[willabee]

I am really confused right now. I just found this today which says that his hawaii concert has been moved to June 15 from July. That would mean there's only a few days between that concert and the Atlanta concert. Boy, someone is really disorganized!!!

Not much rest in between the concerts!!!

[lingling22]

[Olivia*sSlave*]

Anyway in concert news for atlanta, rumour has it, that Rain is already here, and doing press conferences and interviews basically promotion work. And later tonight will be at a club.
*hush hush* ^_~

[cykx91]

does anyone know the difference between VIP tickets and the $160ish tickets? cuz the $160 (on the seating chart) look like the seats up on the front. im confused O_o (for the LA concert)
