I know after seeing the pic, you won’t even care about the news, but i have to write something here, you know..

but i’ll just make the points :

-Rain joins the William Morris Agency of Hollywood, completing Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys and Eminem.

- Rain’s next big project is being a main role in a movie by Joe Silver and the Wachowski Brothers, “Ninja Assasin” . Starts shooting in Berlin next month. (which by the way, when will these Koreans finally get a role as themselves??i mean, as Koreans??)

- Quoted from the press conference at Seoul Lotte Hotel, Rain :

“I worked hard on Speed Racer so Director Wachowski recognized me. I got close to him after eating many meals with him. Currently I’m working out to make a good body (whaatt??he already has the perfect figure!!!-Louise)and working hard on studying English.” and “I want to tell everyone about the movie but I can’t say anything in details due to the contract with Warner Brothers. This movie is more fancier then the Matrix and is a big action movie. So I just want to tell everyone that I feel like I’m getting a second life through this.”

-as for Rain’s “Kung Fu Fighting” for the OST “Kung Fu Panda”, you can check it out when the movie is out in theatre on June 6th (US)

- Rain’s album release, which was about to due this 2008, will be delayed, cos he’ll concentrate on the movie and do some Bejing Olympic stuff.

- Rain doesn’t care how many album he will sell in US. He believes the movie can help promoting his music career, hence will also help him to promote Korea. *love him for being nationalist*

SO WTF WITH HIS LOOK????

Take a grosser look :

In the past month, Rain has signed on to make $4.2 million for his work in ads. He recently agreed to work as an exclusive model for a duty-free shop for 1 year, revealing he has received $950,000. His earnings from this and other recent advertising projects exceed $4.2 million, which proves his star power. Starting with a $950,000 deal last December with a communications agency, Rain also signed on for a $1.16 million deal with a Chinese clothing brand and a $1.2 million deal with a famous electronics corporation. He’s commanding yet more attention for his $950,000 deal.

Top stars Se7en and Boa are entering the U.S. music market this spring, and are expected to compete head-to-head.

Boa revealed that she is currently preparing her U.S. album, aiming for its release in May. Se7en also expects to release his U.S. album in 2-3 months, which means that both singers will be debuting in the U.S. at the same time.

Since 2006, Se7en partnered up with top star Usher, TLC, and producer Mark Shimmel, Beyonce’s album producer Richie Harrison. They are currently making finishing touches to Se7en’s album.

Se7en’s record label YG Entertainment’s president, Yang Hyun Suk, said on his homepage on Feb. 1, “The album will soon be released.”

Boa will also join Se7en this May, making a smooth transition into the U.S. markets.

On the other hand, Boa’s album will be produced by Peter Rapfelson, who also produced an album for internationally reknown pop star Madonna, along with other well-known producers.

Both Boa and Se7en have earned much praise in Japan, as well as the rest of Asia. It will be interesting how their competition in the U.S. will turn out.

They are not the only Koreans debuting in the U.S. this year. JYP will soon see to J. Lim, G. Soul and Min’s officially debut in 2008. This is a decisive year for many Korean artists who will test the U.S. waters for success.

Talking about all these potential debuters, where is Rain? Wasn’t he planning on debuting in the U.S.?

indeed, that’s a hella good question, soyboy! where is Rain? is he busy playing his miniature self lego at home? or maybe he’s playing the cute lego between his recording the OST for upcoming cartoon “Kung Fu Panda?” this is weird .. but i’m starting to miss him.

But anyway, here we go again…all these debut thingies…we’ve heard about Se7en’s perfect plan since summer last year, then suddenly an official message showed up saying it was all suspended, and now, out of the blue, he’s going to battle with BoA. hmm..i don’t dare to expect too much on this. we’ll see, just hope there won’t be any postpone or we all are gonna be tired waiting for his damn-holy US album. as for BoA, isn’t she supposed to take some rest or whatever? i heard she has some issue with..uh…life? like i read in this Boajjang forum, some people so-called BoA die hards even suggested her to take a good rest before she does something further with her career..

Rain is a legoman in a new Speed Racer collection!
Koreans are amazed at how there is Korean written on the lego block more than the fact that one of the figurines is Rain!
