[05-30] Cube expresses, “Jay-Z’s love call to Rain, Still under verification"

credit:ratoka@rain-cloud.co.kr


jay.jpg



Regarding reports saying singer Rain has received love calls from Jay-Z, Cube Entertainment expressed their stand, “We are still trying to verify the exact truth.”

On the 30th, a media has reported that Rain is currently undergoing coordination works on an agreement with world famous rapper and producer Jay-Z. The media reported:

” Prior to his discharge, it seems like soloist Rain will soon cooperate with renowned rapper Jay-Z.

On the 30th May, it has been confirmed that Rain had been considering on an agreement with Jay-Z’s founded label Roc Nation recently.

Jay-Z who is keen on KPOP apparently sent love calls to Rain, and Rain was reported to have considered about it in a positive manner.

If the contract is to take effect, Roc Nation will be carrying out various overseas activities for Rain who is already known globally. Rain has recently took on roles in movies such as ‘Ninja Assassin’, ‘Speed Racer and more’, as well as releasing albums as a singer. His synergy with Jay-Z has gathered much attention.

It is a situation where Roc Nation is currently contacting Rain through aides. With no confirmed information on the current situation, attention is building high as to whether the contract will be carried out.

Rain’s future activities and orientations are still under coordination works.”

Announcing their partnership with Rain recently, Cube Entertainment expressed, “Rain-ssi is currently serving in the military, and that’s the reason why it is hard to verify the truth for now” and, “Once we grab more concrete details about the contract and confirm its validity, then we shall announce it”, they expressed.

Jay-Z’s love call is still in a vague state despite being said as the truth. Previously, Rain has agreed to promote under Cube after his discharge from the military, therefore it should be discussed with Cube beforehand.

Although Cube expressed their stand to promote Rain overseas actively, Jay-Z’s love call and conditions stated in the contract has yet to be confirmed, and because of that, it seems that they will need time to verify the matter.

class="post-title"Rain Might Sign To Jay-Z’s Roc Nation

May 30, 2013

jayz.jpg

OSEN reported an hour ago that Jay-Z’s record label, Roc Nation, has presented Rain with an offer to sign with the company, which he is currently looking over. OSEN reports that they are currently figuring out the logistics of the Korean as well as worldwide copyrights, and once that’s agreed upon, it’ll all be signed, sealed, and delivered. Though his star wattage shines way brighter than just South Korea, Rain has yet to release an album in the States. Signing with Roc Nation — the company that currently has Lil Kim, Kylie Minogue, & Rita Ora on its roster — could mean a surge in Rain’s popularity in the US market. As we mentioned, nothing has been signed yet, but we’ll update as soon as we have confirmation!

class="articletitle"Singer Rain Working on Signing Contract with Jay-Z's Record Label

May 30, 2013

75015.jpg

Singer Rain, who will be released form the army soon, looks like he will be holding hands with Jay-Z.

It was revealed today that Rain was currently in the process of making a contract with Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation.

Jay-Z, who has been very interested in K-pop, sent the love call to Rain first. Rain also took this offer very happily and the two are currently working on their contract together.

Roc Nation is a famous label company in the U.S. that was created by Jay-Z. Many other famous top stars are in this label company as well. 

If the contract does go through, Roc Nation hopes to help expand Rain's already global popularity. 

Rain has been gaining many fans through his roles in movies such as "Ninja Assassin" and "Speed Racer." However,  it has been awhile since he has made a comeback as a singer. Jay-Z hopes to be able to make his singing career have a successful comeback.

The contract has not been confirmed yet and will be determined soon.

Rain also stated earlier that he had signed with Cube Entertainment as well. Many are curious to see what plans Rain will have after being released from the army.

class="content-title"Rain in Talks to Sign with Jay-Z’s Company Roc Nation

May 30, 2013

rain-jay-z.jpg

It seems like Rain is continuing to make big steps as he is currently in talks to sign with Roc Nation, which is owned by American rap superstar Jay-Z.

On May 30, OSEN reported that Rain received offers from Jay-Z first and that Rain is positively looking over the offer. Talks of Korean as well as worldwide copyrights are being made and as soon as discussions are made and done, the contract will reportedly be set.

Roc Nation is a famous hip-hop label created by Jay-Z. Roc Nation is home to artists such as J-Cole, Sugarbabes, Rita Ora, Lil Kim, Kylie Minogue and more.

Rain is already known around the world but if Rain signs with Roc Nation, he will most likely increase his overseas activities. Rain has earned recognition in Hollywood through films such as “Ninja Assassin” and “Speed Racer” but he has not yet released an album overseas. Signing with Roc Nation will probably help him to do so.

Roc Nation stated that they are in the process of talking things over with Rain and nothing has been confirmed for sure yet.

On May 30, StarToday reported that Cube Entertainment stated, “We are trying to see if this is true.”

They continued, “We haven’t been able to confirm this since Rain is still in the military,” and “We will try to figure out the exact details of the contract and situation and reveal it to the public.”

Meanwhile, Rain announced on May 28 that he has signed with Cube Entertainment.

Stay tuned on Soompi for more updates.

World Star RAIN signs with Cube Entertainment

Japanese translation of this event had only been done recently and spread out.  The organizer therefore has decided to extend the deadline of the event to 15 June not just for Japanese fans, but to the rest of the world as well.


You can continue to send in your video clips until that day. 


Results will be announced as originally planned around mid June.

Splendid Film Benelux has released R2B: Return to Base to Dutch-speaking territories. (4/25)

2013.06.02

by Stephe@rain-cloud.co.kr


[Cross-posted from Cloud USA]


R2BSplendidFilmBeneluxFBcover2_CUSA

As some of you recall, in my previous post tracing R2B: Return to Base's global path back this past March, Splendid Film Benelux (servicing Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg) was showing their release date for the movie on DVD and Blu-ray as 4/25/2013.


Well, after a visit to their site this weekend, I see that not only did they honor that release date, they also used their social media to properly promote R2B to all of their customers. (With the exception of Twitter--Splendid Film Germany has a Twitter, but Benelux does not.) They even had an R2B DVD giveaway.


Now that's what we're talking about. Absolutely splendid, Splendid! We're sorry that we're just now noticing, or we would have promoted the heck out of you.


Thank you, Splendid Film Benelux, for being there for Rain, his Dutch fans, and all action movie lovers.

Cube expanding presence with new artists

06-04-05-01.jpg
Six-member boy group BEAST’s single “Will You be Alright?” is flying high, while the group is scheduled to hold concerts in Seoul on July 20 and 21.


06-04-05-03.jpg
Rain, who will be discharged from the military on July 10, will sign with Cube Entertainment.
/ Korea Times file
By Kim Ji-soo 

To the delight of BEAST fans, the six members broke their one-year hiatus as a group and released an online single “Will You be Alright?”  The ballad featuring an R&B rhythm topped music charts immediately after its release Wednesday.

The group will hold number of events in the coming days including concerts on July 20 and 21 at Seoul Olympic Park Gymnasium.

 Another group registered with Cube, 4minute, is cruising with their latest album that was released in April. The five girls of 4minute are busy promoting “What’s Your Name?” a single that topped the country’s largest music chart, Melon, in the last two weeks of May. On May 26, they topped the rankings on SBS’s “Inkigayo” program for second straight week. With its strong addictiveness, the song is currently loved by middle-school students and jams the domestic airwaves.

It’s an achievement that beats out other K-pop groups that have returned to the domestic scene so far this year. The returnees include 2PM, Secret and T-ara N4, but so far 4minute remains at the top. As more top K-top groups are set to return soon and with fellow label-mate BEAST’s new song spreading fast, it remains to be seen how 4minute fare.

Others artists with Cube are G. Na, a solo female singer fast gaining popularity, and the new group, BTOB.

Five-some girl group 4minute perform on Mnet’s music program in Seoul, May 30. /  Yonhap

The most important news in the first half of the year may well be K-pop superstar Rain joining the agency.


Cube’s chief executive officer Hong Seung-seong made the announcement on the company’s website Tuesday. Rain, who was enlisted in the military on Oct. 11, 2011, will be discharged on July 10.

“I recollect the May of 2002 with excitement because Rain took his first step toward world stardom that spring,” wrote Hong.

“So many years have passed by, and in the spring of 2013 Rain and Hong Seung-seong now stand together in a new start line.”

Hong wrote of how rewarding it was to watch Rain, whom he recruited, trained and transformed into a powerful world star.

The addition of Rain to Cube’s already powerful line-up is speculated to spur the company’s drive to become one of the “top three,” currently listed as SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. Hong was formerly with JYP before going on his own and founding Cube Entertainment in 2008.


“We didn’t’ take the safe way. We continued to change, in terms of musical style for our artists,” said An Hyo-jin, the PR team manager at Cube. An said it was essentially Hong’s knowhow and the contents produced by the artists that worked together to bring Cube to where it is now.

“We also sought a distinctive character for each artist or group. 4minute are tough girls and have a girl-power attitude. BEAST tries to infuse lyricism to their songs and their performances,” An said.

More specifically, industry insiders speculate that with the addition of Rain, Cube is looking to list on the Kosdaq within the year. An said that the company has never said anything about going public.

With the popularity of K-pop, the nation’s leading entertainment agencies are expected to grow their businesses.

According to a Financial Supervisory Service posting on May 30, YG Entertainment and SM Entertainment made profits in the first quarter of 2013. YG, spurred on largely by world star rapper/singer Psy, recorded an operating profit of 6.29 billion won, an increase of 44.3 percent over the same period last year. Sales also grew 40 percent to 29.8 billion won and the net period profit rose 27.2 percent to 4.1 billion won for the first three months. SM Entertainment’s operating profit was recorded at 5.07 billion won that is nevertheless a 72.1 percent decrease over the same period last year. It’s sales rose 0.7 percent to 49.9 billion won and the net profit during the term stood at 2 billion won, a drop of 80.0 percent. SM Entertainment however said that they believe business figures will rebound in the second half when SM world concert tours are planned.

Only JYP Entertainment posted an operating loss of 936 billion won in the first quarter of 2013.

June 25: Singer, actor, songwriter and dancer Rain, is also known as Jung Ji Hoon. He starred in "Full House" and several films, including, "I'm A Cyborg But That's OK."



So, bake a cake, light some candles and wish your favorite kdrama stars "saeng-il chukha hamnida." And for even more of a celebration, you can watch one of their dramas all over again.
