Don't know what really happened. But this is just another update in the career of RAIN!! The reason I post so much about him, is not only my admiration of him for his discipline , determination, and overall presence. He is the main reason and start to me of the whole KPOP phenomenom! And don't get it twisted, but he's also "easy on the eyes" and breaks all stereotypes of the weak and so - called feminine asian male.
Rain, at last
THOSE who attended Rain’s press con Sept. 6 were disappointed—the Korean pop star was a no-show.
The organizers told the media beginning to gather that the Korean representatives were already on their way to announce something. That sounded like bad news. After all, people were there to see Rain—not his management team.
After a couple of hours, a Korean representative took the mic and through an interpreter, explained that there had been a miscommunication between them and the Philippine promoters—Rain’s team thought the press con was Sept. 9.
Nobody asked the obvious—was Rain already in the hotel? If he was, why not ask him down to meet the eager press?
Some were even saying that the Korean hunk was, in fact, already in the hotel—swimming.
Anyway, the press con finally took place Sept. 9 at the Champagne Room of Manila Hotel. It drew even more media, plus a handful of Koreans, who were glad to see their famous countrymen in the Philippines.
Rain, Jung Ji-Hoon in real life, was here for a Sept. 11 concert, “Intensity,” which also featured Korean boyband U-Kiss and crooner Christian Bautista.
“This is my first show ever in the Philippines,” he said, through an interpreter. “So you can expect anything.”
The Korean superstar truly deserves the show’s title—he has seven studio albums, has starred in the series “Full House” and in Hollywood films “Speed Racer ” and “Ninja Assassin,” plus he has also done modeling, and designing.
He is also busy with “Fugitive,” a Korean spy drama series where he plays the private investigator Ji Woo.
His party has already been to Seoul, Japan, HK, Macau, and now, the Philippines (shooting in Cebu, Greenhills in San Juan, Cubao in QC, and in Roxas Boulevard).
Included in the series (to be titled “Runway” when it is shown in the country on TV5) are Lee Na Young, Lee Jung Jin, Yoon Jin Seo, and Daniel Henney, who were all at the press con.
Rain may be the lead star of the series, but in the press con, it was clear how Daniel, best known for his part in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” quite effortlessly “stole” the spotlight. Apart from his good looks, he was the only one who didn’t need an interpreter.
