Apparently netizens are at it again ….
Told you they can’t sit bored for too long ^^

Here is the new piece on the Taiwanese Boyband F4’s new released MV “Waiting For You”
Netizens think some scenes were quite similar to that of DBSK’s “Step by Step” MV.

F4 - Waiting for You [MV]

DBSK - Step by Step [MV]

But the question in mind is, where were Neitzen when Vanness Wu from the group released his single “Never Let You Go” from his second solo album, “V.Dubb” (his nickname), on April 20, 2007? Seriously, back then I thought Isaw more than one or two of Rain’s dance moves from his “I’m Coming” era in that MV!
I think Vanness Wu watches way too much K-Pop ^^ blame it all on the guy!LOL

Some Rain fans or non-fans are making an uproar over Rain’s choice of clothing. Recently on SBS news a quick glimpse of Rain’s back shirt got some people really upset. Why you may wonder….well on the back of his shirt there is a picture of a woman’s breast.

if you couldn’t see it in the video here is a snap shot

Why in the hell are people so upset about this? It’s only a pair of boobs that all women have, and he is a guy for god sake. It’s only fashion people…..and trust me they show more skin on a fashion runway than what’s on his back shirt.

In other news…

Someone is copying Rain….Huang Xiaoming a Chinese singer is under heavy fire from Rain’s fans that he is clearly plagiarizing Rain’s third album “It’s Raining”. Huang Xiaoming’s recent release of his debut album titled “It’s Ming” has many similarities to Rain’s album, that includes the album title, the album cover of Huang Xiaoming half naked with a tattoo, Xiaoming in a similar army unitform getup as Rain’s “I’m Coming” video and concert, and also Xiaoming has a song on his debut album titled “I’m Coming”.

Clearly this Huang Xiaoming person is copying Rain’s style. But in the Asian entertainment this really isn’t shocking to see some one copying another artist’s work. Take Ivy for instance, her “Sonata of Temptation” video was found plagiarizing FFVII(Finale Fantasy 7), which later a court order Phantom Entertainment to pay 10 million won for copyright violations.

You can listen to Huang Xiaoming “I’m Coming” song here.
