*** Ugh - this name situation was pointless in the first place. I think people getting so up over names are so stupid in general. He shouldn’t change his name especially to “The Rain”, people might make fun of him.

Rain Name Game Settled

Posted on Tuesday February 17, 2009 at 04:01 AM 3 |

Jeong Ji-hoon, the Korean pop star better known as Rain, recently settled a long-standing legal problem in the U.S.

In February 2007, Rain Corporation, which has managed the Beatles tribute band Rain – A Tribute To The Beatles since 1979, filed an intellectual property suit in Nevada District Court against Jeong, his management, JYP Entertainment, and concert coordinator Star M Entertainment over the use of his stage name.

Earlier this month both parties reportedly came to an agreement. From now on, Jeong will be known as The Rain for all music-related endeavors in the United States.

The agreement does not prevent him from using the simpler moniker Rain outside of America. And according to the HanCinema website, he will still be allowed to use Rain in film credits.

Ralph Schmidtke, who manages the Beatles tribute act, told Pollstar that although an agreement had been reached, he couldn’t confirm specifics.

The name dispute forced Jeong to cancel a June 2007 concert in Hawaii, which led to the promoter of the concert, Click Entertainment, filing a $40 million lawsuit against the singer for damages.

Jeong is scheduled to appear for the trial in Hawaii during the week of March 10. If he fails to show up, he may be subject to an arrest warrant.

Click also filed a separate complaint against the same defendants in Korea, but the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office didn’t take up the charge, saying they found no evidence that the singer planned to deceive the promoter.

*** So kind of RAIN to do this. This is really a great importance to all his fans who have eye problem & can’t afford to do a laser surgery, which is very pricey. This kind of surgery will really help them to correct their eye sight. I think it’s just normal to select the applicants from his fanclubs. These fanclubs have done a lot for him. It’s not a bribery to get more fans. For me, it’s a reward to his fans for just making him become who he’s today. And this is through screening, it’s his discretion whom he wants to help.

051108 Photo Documentary

Part 1/2 Translation

He is an attractive singer.

He is a tough actor.

But loveliness is also in his nature.

He is Asia's superstar at 24 years.

His name is like a long awaited shower of rain.

His name is as powerful as a typhoon.

His name is Rain. Jung Ji Hoon.

He has erased that face we all knew, and Jung Ji Hoon came back as a bad guy.

(In Drama "A Love to Kill")

Rain: Just give it to her.

Rain: I'm a man with no fears in the world.

Kang BokGu: the character whose life can't stoop any lower.

Actor Jung Ji Hoon has transformed into Kang BokGu.

Shin Min Ah: I don't think I've ever even seen him yawn.

SMA: In my case, if I don't sleep for a day or two, I get so tired that I rest my head on a wall without being afraid to show it.

SMA: But in Rain's case, he never does that. He's very concentrated. I think it's' amazing.

In order to wear a fighter's face, he no longer wears his cute smile.

He had to become a professional fighter.

Director (Hong Sang Suk): His blows were so strong it was scaring me.

HSS: It's a K1 drama, so he had to wear boxing gloves, throwing light punches. But he was punching like he really was a K1 fighter.

HSS: You could even hear the wind when he punched. And we told him to kick, and it was so strong. The air would just swoosh by.

Jung Ji Hoon lost 7 kg in order to get this body.

His body and mind is living as Kang BokGu.

Character Kang BokGu, Actor Jung Ji Hoon, singer Rain.

His real image...

god member Kim Tae Woo: He's such a wise spender. He really doesn't use any money.

god member Park Joon Hyung: (Korean joke about not spending money) Even Dan in our group doesn't spend money, but Rain is two times Dan.

Jung Ook: His nicknames are Jung Dae Ri & Jung Gwa Jang.

JO: Usually it's rare for huge stars to come into their office daily.

JO: Even if Rain doesn't have a schedule for the day, he comes in his office and just works.

JO: He also goes down to the studio and just practices.

JO: At the office, we make fun of him and call him Jung Dae Ri, Jung Gwa Jang. (Dae Ri & Gwa Jang=chairman/director) (Jung= Rain's last name)

Full House Director (Pyo Mi Soo): At least 99% of the viewers have a good response when they see Rain on TV.

PMS: When I was working with Jung Ji Hoon, I'd ask others "What do you think of Rain?" Response= "I REALLY like him!" It was like that 90% of the time.

PMS: And another 5% to "I REALLY REALLY like him!"

PMS: Another 5% to "I'm gonna faint!"

His manly yet boyish smile.

His attraction is unique.

Actually, his face isn't the face of the average "pretty boy."

He has small eyes and not-so-high nose line.

His Asian qualities are complex.

Photographer (Jo Sun Hee): He always says his forehead is so complex.

JSH: He usually never shows his forehead.

JSH: When we braid his hair, he's always concerned about his forehead.

JSH: So I said to him, "What's wrong?" and he replied by saying his forehead is complex and wide.

We are not familiar with this image from Rain, showing what he says to be his flaw.

This unfamiliarity shows his individual trait.

People always anticipate Rain's performances on stage.

His clothes are always ripped during his concerts.

Park Ooh Hyun: when his clothes are ripped, we have to sew them back together.

POH: It would be a waste to make the same shirt over and over after they're ripped,

so when he rips them, we sew them back together for next time. People usually don't know that.

He is a fashion icon.

He sets trends because people want to imitate him. He is a trend maker.

His famous vest fashion has set many trends.

His vest is unique.

Park Ooh Hyun: The vest is actually made from a certain material. (jang pan jee)

POH: Everyone is always asking if it's an alligator leather, or what kind of leather it is.

POH: But it's actually not leather.

The person who knows what looks best on him is Rain himself.

He thinks of stage concepts and clothing himself as he makes his own style.

A world widely known designer has influenced Rain's fashion.

Giorgio Armani.

Standard Culture Critic (Kang Myung Suk): Rain has an image that shows Asia's culture and he represents for us.

KMS: He is a star from Hallyu yet has a global image and a standard Asian image.

Today in 2005, Rain is Asia's eyes and ears.

Rain's concert tours were all sold out.

This year, Rain won the MTV award. He is a special Hallyu star.

Photographer (Jo Sun Hee): When we go to the airport, there are so many fans. When you go to the airport people have to go to the immigration center for passports.

He is just allowed to go straight by. (VIP treatment) He is that famous and popular.

Part 2/2 Translation

When he is on stage, he says he feels like he's the best.

Choreographer (Jung Sung Tak): Usually singers don't do that. They'll usually just say a concept and leave the choreography to the choreographer.

JST: In Ji Hoon's case, he never does that. He makes everything. So he really is the best. We truly believe he is the best singer.

god member Kim Tae Woo: Rain has a lot of confidence on stage. When he's performing, he's like, 'I'm Rain. When I dance and sing on stage, you will all be mine.'

You can see that kind of confidence in him on stage.

Rain is in charge of deciding what to do on stage.

That’s why he has the confidence.

He became Asia’s star not as singer Rain, but as actor Jung Ji Hoon first.

Without prior acting experiences, he played the leading role in a drama.

Sang Doo Director (Lee Hyung Min): It was like we caught a large fish.

LHM: We wanted to put Rain’s individual characteristics in Sang Doo, Lets Go to School. Jung Ji Hoon and I were lucky. We caught a large fish so to say.

(In Drama “Sang Doo Let’s Go to School”)

Rain: Daddy’s so cold right now. Can you hug me, daughter?

The character Sang Doo seems a bit immature at times, but also carries on a lot of pain and emotion.

Cha Bori (don’t know her real name): Are you warm now, Daddy?

This character wasn’t an easy person to play especially for new actors.

Rain: Yea, I’m warm.

Jung Ji Hoon played the role of Sang Doo very naturally and well.

Rain: Cha Bori, Thank you. Thank you, Bori.

Lee Young Ha (SangDoo’s Uncle): I felt Rain’s pain.

LYH: Rain’s mother is not around. He showed me his mother’s and sister’s pictures, and I realized he gets a lot of strength from his family.

Announcer (Lee Geum Hee): Rain told me after his mother passed away, he is putting in endless effort in order to succeed and make his mother’s wish come true.

LGH: He didn’t have money for the bus so he walked from Dae Hak No to Shin Chong everyday to practice dancing until he was tattered up without skipping a single day.

LGH: Rain’s performances are an expression of his grief for his mother.

Rain wears a gold ring on his fourth finger on his left hand.

It was a birthday gift from his mother.

His mother who passed away before his debut is Rain’s greatest pain and strength.

Rain: I made a promise to my mother in Heaven that I would receive the Daesang Award and present it to her and I thank my fans for helping me keep that promise.

Rain who has never told his mother he loved her grieves for her.

(Rainy Day concert “Not Used To”)

Rain: Even though I try to comfort myself, I only see your empty space.

: I’m not used to sleeping alone, getting up alone, eating alone.

: Being happy by myself, being sad alone. Not used to.

Rain makes sure everything goes well before his concerts during rehearsals and touches up everything.

He is a perfectionist.

Choreographer (Jung Sung Tak): He’s always holding a pen and notepad in hand and making notes.

JST: After the concert, we must have been eating, but he suddenly writes something down and says, “Hyung, I’ve thought up of my 4th album concept.”

Rain says he will never show fans the same exact performance.

Making new concepts is a promise between himself and his fans.

god member Danny Ahn: He shouldn’t do any more or any less. He is perfect right now.

Announcer Lee Geum Hee: A person needs many things in order to be successful. Talent, effort, and a system to back up success, and luck.

I think these things are very important. And the person who has all these qualities is Rain so I’ve never doubted his success as a world star.

If anything, I wish he would remain pure and true as he becomes a greater world star.

He is already a top star.

But he says he still hasn’t achieved all his dreams.

He is Rain. Jung Ji Hoon.

Thank you a lot akrain. ^^

Just a quick update everyone:

I actually just got a text from slashfilms about an hour ago saying that the Whole Wachowski Brothers/Superman rumor was a lie. Someone sent in the "tip" to aintitcool.com yesterday, but it was fake.

They were never meant to do superman. Sorry that everyone got their hopes up.
