From my very happy Birthday to Rain’s not so happy days …
Donno what is going on behind the scene but from the look of it … seems like Rain made some actions finally and talked to his team, that StarM came out and with his so-called official announcement tried to wash away the blames from Rain! Our recent translated news from StarNews indicates that Click Entertainment (the Hawaii promotional co. dude) filed the lawsuit against Rain, StarM, JYPE, and Revolution Entertainment stating the reason for the cancellation of the Hawaii concert is to snatch the Licensing fee, $500,000. On the other hand StarM is kinda pisses that Click Ent. filed lawsuit against not only non contract related parties, StarM & JYPE but also the artist, Rain.
This is what StarM said to take the full responsibility of the fraud accusation against their company “Decision of cancellation is made by StarM with advise from Rain world tour production specialist team. Rain mandated all right to StarM. Rain is absolutely not responsible for the cancellation of Hawaii concert. In spite of all, Click forgot basic respect to the artist for the reparation issue between promoters and mentioning ‘fraud’ to the artist. We are preparing for defamation suit against Click Entertainment.”
They mentioned there were serious problems with local production in Hawaii aside from the using of Rain’s name issue. “We can not conduct the concert when there is no way we can set up the basic production formation and thrust stage that has not 100% waterproof, specially with weather like Hawaii that has a lot of rain and wind.” They stated and “Local promoter insist the concert where no concert production can be set up. How can we do the concert when there is a risk that the stage might collapse?” StarM also opened e-mails between local production manager and tour production manager to public. According to e-mail, there are serious problems with venue rental schedule, no acknowledged lists of requested equipments and most of all, warning of safety and local production preparation on unsafe thrust stage for production formation.
and at the end seems like now StarM is blaming Revolution Entertainment who were in charge of America concerts! StarM claims in process of resale of the contract to the local promoters, Revolution Entertainment didn’t maintain control of local production which should have been in agreement with StarM, marketing, ticket pricing. But then again according to Click Entertainment, Click said they paid in full concert right fee, $500,000 before May. But Revolution didn’t paid any balance after paying down payment of $450,000 around Feb. 20th. but StarM says they notified termination of the contract on May 24th due to violation of contract by missing payment dates to the Hawaii promoter (click en.) through Revolution En.
So according to StarM’s Official announcements the bad guys are Revolution people now! wait till we hear the Revolution people’s side!
So the bottom line .. from the look of it .. this is getting nasty and nastier by day … there are Rain’s fan expressing their frustrations on how they lost respect for the guy for not receiving their money after 2 months after cancelation of the concert. Rain official threads when it used to be only to praise and drool over the artists, now is filled with all painful comments of once his fans. The Rain’s world tour is upside down, Rain himself is on the set of his new movie and of course his fans along with him are sharing tears and frowns in his down time … donno how much of the trust people have lost for the guy and if his reputation has effected by lawsuit after lawsuit … and what would be the outcome of his next tour if any!
