So Singer Rain had a stop in Taiwan for his one night concert on March 31st a day before he also had a press conference (Got some thick skin eh? lolol) It’s all good so far, but when I was reading an article in Taipeitimes.com it noted During the conference “There was no screaming or fainting and no groupies, either. It was a little disappointing.”
Kinda Awkward don’t you think? What’s going on Ajummas? Not IXCITID anymore? BOOO!
Well, we are expecting that coming knowing he is a pop star after all and in popular culture even if you are the GOD no matter the age, sex or race your time will eventually come But it’s kinda soon for him, don’t ya think? His not even half through the world tour and this!

‘Asia’s king of pop’ has been trying to pump some life into flagging sales for his
concert today at the Taoyuan County Stadium. Rain came prematurely to Taiwan
because ticket sales for his concert today in Taoyuan (桃園) have been slow. What
should have been a quick in-and-out has become a promotional slog for “Asia’s
king of pop.”
Though just 25,000 tickets were on offer at the 35,000-seater Taoyuan County Stadium (桃園縣立體育場) for the “Rain’s Coming” world tour of 17 cities in 11 countries, local organizers were not feeling the love. In comparison, tickets for Rain’s 2005 tour sold out as soon as they became available.Hence, Rain’s personalized jet arrived a day earlier than expected on Thursday. The plane has a picture of the South Korean idol, with wings, wrapped around the tail. The image is strikingly similar to the mythical Icarus, but the symbolism is probably lost on all concerned.
The same day he checked into the Grand Hotel (圓山飯店), Rain was asked to perform at a press conference. Some fans tried to get in for an audience with their hero but meekly gave up the quest when a small security detail told them to go away.
There was no screaming or fainting and no groupies, either. It was a little disappointing.
Possibly the most enthusiastic fan was Aiko Moriguchi from Japan, who
managed to get into the press conference as her tour group had access privileges
to Rain in its package deal.The senior manager at a trading company in Hong Kong
has seen five Rain concerts in the past two years.”I was on vacation so I took
my chance and came here,” she said in a combination of English, Chinese and
Japanese. “He’s so sexy, his personality, the way he talks, sings and dances.
He’s so shiny.”
