10-13] [Today Online]My dinner with Rain

[12-Oct-13][Today Online]My dinner with Rain

SINGAPORE – Friday night was a pretty special night. Because I had dinner with Rain.

Sure, we were seated several tables apart, so cruelly separated at Fashion Week 2013’s MCM Gala Dinner at Marina Bay Sands.

But I am not going to nitpick.

Our evening together began quite dramatically, at approximately 9pm, right after I’d gobbled my appetiser and a particularly tasty bun.

He marched right into Hall F at the Sands Expo for the Gala Dinner. All heads turned, probably to memorise every step he made.

As he took his designated seat, women in shiny gowns and grown men in expensive suits hurried over, aiming their cameras and phones at his face.

He smiled - awkwardly, politely, and a little resigned. I am not sure if our eyes met, but I am going to remember that they did.

Half a dozen bodyguards stood menacingly behind him, forming a semi-circle of muscle.

I know some people wanted to go close – to ask him for autographs, photos, a marriage proposal. But no one challenged the Muscles.

A minute later, the women were shooed back to their seats, while the men were (probably) told to have some self-respect.

And he finally settled in enough for a short chat with the people at his table.

I wondered what came up during their conversation. How was the flight? Did he enjoy the fashion show? Wasn’t he dying of heat under that pea coat?

I was sure he would have more fun talking to me. About our favourite movies. Our childhoods. Where our kids should go to school.

Soon, it was, of course, time for him to make a trip to the bathroom. And so he did. A dozen of his people followed. I motioned to say that I would wait at my table.

Then, he probably thought it would be nice to take a photograph against the backdrop, right next to my table. More cameras and smartphones came out, and more people were shooed. I tried to tell him that I was camera-shy.

He went back to his table for a few more minutes, and then back to the backdrop. It had been too dark.

Two bodyguards fished out their torchlights so he could have enough light for a good photo.

Pose, and snap.

Then, about half an hour after he entered the room, while they were serving squash soup, he left.

Without even a goodbye kiss.

He marched out the way he had marched in, with a long train of people behind him.

Not unlike Pied Piper, I thought. If Pied Piper were unusually good-looking, and one of Korea’s biggest pop stars.

And, just in case you were interested, I finished my soup. It was quite good.

So what did you do on Friday night?

[12-Oct-13][asiaone News]K-pop star Rain attends grand opening of new store at Marina Bay Sands

Posted by memo-rain on October 13, 2013

SINGAPORE - Korean pop sensation Rain made a special guest appearance on Friday evening for the grand opening of Singapore's first MCM brand flagship store at Marina Bay Sands.

The 31-year-old star, who was making his first appearance here since completing his compulsory two-year national service in the South Korean army, looked sleek in black leather trench coat and pants with a skinny tie.

Rain was accompanied by Marina Bay Sands president George Tanasijevich, MCM Singapore owner Emily Hwang and MCM chief executive Paolo Fontanelli for the event.

He did a ceremonial cake and ribbon-cutting to mark the opening of the flagship store for the South Korean luxury leather goods brand, reported The Straits Times.

Curious passers-by and fans who heard the singer-actor would be appearing at the store on Friday gathered to take snapshots of him at the event.

One female fan even came with a bouquet of flowers hoping to pass it to her idol, who has ventured to Hollywood to star in Speed Racer (2008) and Ninja Assassin (2009).

Among the fans was Macau tourist Kylie Chan, 31, who was here on holiday when she heard about Rain making an appearance at MBS.

Chan, who works in the casino business in Macau, said: "It's really exciting to see him and for the brand opening. Actually I only started liking MCM when I saw Rain wearing their products two years ago."

[13-Oct-13][Osen]Rain will make a comeback with a new song, not a film?

 

 

 

 

The time singer Rain, who hasn't started his official activities since his discharge last July, will make a comeback with a new album, has come to public attention since he directly referred to his working on his next album.

 

Rain's management agency 'Cube' stated on the 13th, "Rain has been already working on his next album, but the time of his comeback has not yet been decided. As of now, he is only concentrating on working on his next album."

 

Rain mentioned the album during the fan meeting last 12th, "I'm coming up with charming music and stage that can appeal to everyone. I want to try new things and challenge myself. But obviously I'll show music and stage for everybody in the world."

 

As it is not hard for Rain to do activities globally, not just locally, it appears that he is more focused on concentrating on working as a singer rather than as an actor. He has had many movie roles offered to him recently, but the situation could be affected by a number of external variables. His name has been bandied about in connection with whether he appears in several dramas next year, but nothing at all has been decided.

 

Meanwhile, when asked what he had recently done during the fan meeting, Rain said, "I'm trying to accumulate a variety of experiences, including reading books, seeing movies, etc, whenever time allows from work, giving myself a little more time than usual in order to achieve a better result.

 

He added, "I'll be holding a concert - where I can communicate with fans - in Japan as the first leg of the tour, and I'd like to go on to hold such a concert even in Korea. We can see each other when I perform concerts around the world, including Asia. You can see more of what I can do in the future."

 

Rain is planning a concert tour entitled "2013 RAIN ZEPP TOUR STORY OF RAIN" in a total of 4 cities like Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo starting in Zepp Nagoya on November 14th. He'll perform a total of 10 concerts and the tour will finish on November 28th.

[13-Oct-13][Kpoppla]3,000 Fans Enthralled by Rain

Posted by memo-rain on October 13, 2013

The singer and actor Rain held his eighth fan meeting with 3,000 Korean and foreigner fans from his official fan club The Cloud. The meeting was titled the 2013 Rain With You Fan Meeting and held at the Kyunghee University Grand Peace Palace at 1600 (GMT+9) on October 12.
Fans gathered early in the morning with placards in their hands for Rain’s fan meeting in four years, and were as happy as if they were going to a festival as they clustered at the photo zone before the entrance.




This fan meeting was Rain’s first official event after his discharge from the army this July, and 1,300 translator devices set for three languages were brought in for the fans from Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
The comedian Yoon Jeong-soo, who first met Rain around the time of the latter’s debut and was the MC for a previous fan meeting in 2005, was the MC for this meeting and proceeded in a warm, family-like manner. Rain stepped onto the stage with a smile on his lips and a well-cut suit draping his firm body as he gave a low bow to his fans.



When asked what he was doing these days, he said, “I’m on a hectic schedule of training and practice, but I’m also doing a bit of reading and watching movies so I can show you my best. After my concerts in Japan, I want to have some concerts here in Korea so I can see you all from up close and have a great time together. Let’s meet again elsewhere in Asia and around the world at concerts.”



After the talk time was over, the music of “Rainism” rang out and a concert composed entirely of hit songs began, as the jam-packed audience stood up as one and cheered for Rain. Halfway through, he took a breather and announced he was working on a new album. “I’m formulating songs and stages, imbuing them with a variety of attractions. I want to show you what I do best and also challenge myself with new ideas. But the only thing I can promise you is that I’ll give not only Korea but the world the music and stages it will love.”



This fan meeting ran for 2 hours and 30 minutes and Rain gave thanks for the support from the fans gathered from all over the world and promised to prepare as best he can for future activities.
Meanwhile, Rain is starting a ten-concert Japanese tour, the 2013 RAIN ZEPP TOUR – STORY OF RAIN. Starting on November 14, he will tour Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Tokyo until November 28.

Rain meets with 3,000 fans

Oct 14,2013

Singer Rain held his first “fan meet” Saturday since being discharged from military service in July, entertaining some 3,000 fans with stories, videos and a couple of songs.

A “fan meeting” is not a concert per se, but a more personal event where a celebrity talks to fans while providing a variety of entertainment. It was Rain’s first in more than four years, and turnout was heavy and international, with 1,300 translation devices on hand for the audience.

Rain’s longtime friend, comedian Yoon Jung-su, kicked off the event.

Then the celebrated Hallyu singer emerged wearing a suit, which he actually kept on for the entire show, not tearing it off to reveal his impressive abs.

Rather than focusing on performing, Rain spent most of the time talking, playing videos and showing pictures on a screen. He also had a go at speaking in English for his fans from abroad.

When asked what he was up to lately, Rain said he was “spending time rehearsing to become a better performer.” He added that he liked to read and watch movies from time to time to gain other perspectives on life.

In regard to tour plans, he said that after his November tour in Japan, he would like to tour Korea and the rest of the world and to perform shows where he could be “eye-to-eye” with fans.

As a gesture of thanks to all who came, Rain also presented some artworks he painted himself before singing a few of his hits to wrap up the night.

What’s next for Rain? class="pvrichtxttitle"Fresh out of the army, South Korean star Rain makes a brief appearance at a store opening in Singapore one day before his first official fan meeting in Korea

Since his discharge from the military in July, Rain has kept both fans and the media in suspense of his comeback plans to showbiz. He’s taking it slow and low-key now after being plagued by a wave of negative press regarding his behavior in the military and the controversial and now-scraped celebrity recruits unit (which he was formerly from).

Although he has yet to make an official statement about his return plans, the Korean singer-actor has made a conscious effort to touch base with his fans: in August he performed at Thailand’s Sonic Bang 2013 music festival and in September, he guest-starred on China’s Super Boy to much fanfare. Closer to home, he made a brief appearance at the first official MCM store opening ceremony at Marina Bay Sands Hotel yesterday evening.

A closed door event which was attended by slightly over 200 guests, it also attracted a handful of 20 local and international fans of Rain who staked out at the hotel’s café, hoping to catch a glimpse or two of the Korean heartthrob. While the small turnout was surprisingly dismal by K-pop standards, the 31-year-old’s loyal fan base is not to be underestimated.

A 49-year-old fan from Thailand who preferred to be known as “superdogspinz” shared with xinmsn that she has been supporting Rain for as long as 10 years. Apart from flying in especially for this event with two friends, she also had a special handmade gift for him – a pair of converse sneakers embellished with studs and spikes which she spent one day making. And while she did not manage to pass him the present just now, the fan told xinmsn that she intends to try her luck again at the airport – when Rain catches his return flight back to Korea.



Another soft-spoken Malaysian fan, who is currently studying in Singapore had better luck. The girl, who refused to be named, was beaming from ear to ear at the end of the event because Rain shook her hands and accepted her bouquet of sunflowers on his way out of the hotel.

Together with Trang, her friend from Vietnam, the two twenty-something young adults hope to see Rain make a music comeback more than anything else – and understandably so. After all, music is his strongest forte and what sky-rocketed him to household fame – together with the hit drama Full House – in the early noughties.

While Rain’s spark has seemingly fizzled in the face of tougher and fiercer competition from his K-pop peers, it’s not the end of the road for him yet. If legendary K-pop band Shinhwa can do it even after years of hiatus, we’re sure nothing will stand in The-World’s-Most-Influential-Person’s (an accolade conferred multiple times by TIME magazine) way as long as he chooses his battles wisely.

Here, we list down 3 things he needs to do for a successful career reboot.




1) Reconnect with fans
No mountain is insurmountable with a supportive fan base. These people are the ones who’d be buying your CDs, songs and merchandise and would gladly fork out money to see you sing a set of 30 songs abroad or at home, and it’s important to make them feel remembered and appreciated (let’s not forget he once commanded S$888 for VIP tickets at his first Singapore concert).

In 2010, before he enlisted into the military, throngs of overseas fans (official count is 150) turned up at the Singapore Indoor Stadium to watch Rain perform for the last time. And the fans still love him – going by the amount of international fans we met at the MCM store opening yesterday. On the right path to getting his career back on track – Rain will be holding his first official fan meeting with 2,500 fans in Korea today. Due to overwhelming requests and demand from Japanese fans, the Korean entertainer will also be doing a total of 10 fan meets in Japan this November and hold shows in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo. This is definitely a good sign of things to come.



2) Focus on his forte (for now)
He was the man who made mono-lids (or really, small eyes) on men look attractive. Back in the day, girls gushed over his sleek dance moves and “really tiny eyes” that were – to them – “cute and unique”.  Apart from having the entire package, singing and dancing formed the backbone of Rain’s success in the early days of his entertainment career. It would be best if he picked up from where he left off and return with a strong album to cement his foundation in the K-pop industry before dabbling in other aspects of showbiz. 



3) Finally, return to acting after establishing himself
Before his Hollywood movies Ninja Assassin and Speed Racer, Rain had less polished (and more endearing) roles in K-dramas like Sang Doo! Let’s Go to School! and Full House, which co-starred Song Hye Gyo (a winning combination at that, too). Instead for opting for serious and melodramatic shows, it’d be nice to watch him in a light-hearted show for a change – like what Song Seung Heon did with My Princess, charming the socks off everyone in the rom-com. After all, it was Rain’s likability in the earlier dramas that got him on fans’ radar too.

Alternatively, Rain can just do a Full House 2 sequel with Hye Gyo – we don’t need to watch it to know that it will be a winner.

During a Q&A session, Rain revealed what he was up to these days, saying, “Currently I’m extremely busy rehearsing a lot, but when I get a chance to relax for a while, I read, watch movies, and do a variety of other enjoyable things. I’ll start performing again in Japan and hope to give some intimate concerts in Korea as well.”

 

Rain also performed his hit songs, “Avoid the Sun,” “Song to Hold You Back,” and “Instead of Saying Good-bye.” The event continued for two hours and a half. Rain didn’t forget to thank his fans for waiting for him during his military service.

class="entry-title"it’s business as usual for power couple kim tae hee & rain

October 14, 2013

Lovebirds Kim Tae Hee and Rain spent the previous weekend clocking in public appearances…separately, of course. I suspect a stampede would arise if they ever attend an event together.

Rain made a whirlwind trip to Singapore last Friday to attend the flagship boutique opening and runway show of MCM, a brand he is closely associated with. The next morning, he was whizzing back to Seoul, where he held a fan meeting later in the evening. It was his first official fan meeting since getting discharged from the army. I have seen quite a number of pictures and videos for both events and it is evident that Rain loves his fans much more than the glitzy glam of fashion extravaganzas.

He appears terribly stoic and resigned in those front row snaps and it looks as if he spent most of his twiddling his thumbs and surreptitiously checking his watch. Heh. But that being said, he is ever considerate of his fans, always smiling and waving when they holler his name. Sweet.

His fan meeting was a different thing altogether. He was beaming and genuinely in high spirits, getting the crowd high with his brand of sexy, cute antics. Seeing the stills has me itching to catch him on stage again.

On the other hand, girlfriend Kim Tae Hee positively glowed when she graced a charity bazaar for OHUI, the beauty brand she endorses. I love Kim Tae Hee to the stars, but to be brutally honest, I don’t love her fashion choices half the time. But I’m really liking her outfit this time round. Love the cinched waist of the top, the navy and black combi, the leather detailing on her skirt and those are some cool, strappy heels.

As usual, she is all warmth and natural charm, and I’m pretty sure the media was swooning over her. Back to the superficial, I like her figure because she’s always healthily slim, and never a bag of bones. Her eyes rightly crinkle every time she flashes that easygoing smile of hers and her facial muscles don’t look frozen in place.

The power couple hasn’t been seen together at all since Rain’s military discharge, but I figure they should be doing fine. They must be employing some serious stealth and avoidance tactics. Rain is inscrutable and trying to squeeze any happy-in-love hints from him would be like juicing a rock. But just looking at how relaxed and cheerful Kim Tae Hee is pretty much solid proof that all things are in order on the romance front.

The woman always gives it away, no?

class="blog_h2 entry-title"Rain’s first post military fan meeting in Korea

Oct. 14, 2013

Singer Rain held a fan meeting on the 13th at Kyung Hee University. It was Rain’s first fan meeting in Korea since 2009 and his first official engagement in Korea since his discharge from the military. Eager for a chance to see the star again from up close, fans from all over the world showed up by the thousands. Comedian Yoon Jung Soo hosted the event.

 

During a Q&A session, Rain revealed what he was up to these days, saying, “Currently I’m extremely busy rehearsing a lot, but when I get a chance to relax for a while, I read, watch movies, and do a variety of other enjoyable things. I’ll start performing again in Japan and hope to give some intimate concerts in Korea as well.”

 

Rain also performed his hit songs, “Avoid the Sun,” “Song to Hold You Back,” and “Instead of Saying Good-bye.” The event continued for two hours and a half. Rain didn’t forget to thank his fans for waiting for him during his military service.

 

Rain will be on his 2013 Rain Zepp Tour – the Story of Rain in Japan from November 14 to 28, hitting four cities, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Tokyo, for a total of ten performances.
