4.30am in the morning… just completed a phone interview with Korean superstar Rain, who is in Los Angeles to promote his Hollywood debut movie, the “Speed Racer”.
The interview was arranged by Warner Brothers. I somehow thought that it was going to be a conference call alongside other medias, but it turned out to be an exclusive interview… luckily I made enough preparation to fully utilise the 8 minutes.
I know lots of you are eager to hear what Rain has said during the interview, but you will have to wait until Monday to read the whole story (as requested by Warner Bros).
To be frank I feel a bit gay right now… never thought that I would be so excited talking to a guy… my heart is still beating in joyous mode and would probably last that way for another few good hours.
Thanks to Warner Bros for the arrangement, and thanks to Rain for accepting the interview. My female friends are going to be really jealous about this :)
[Update April 28] The interview is up.
Seriously???? THE Rain????
omg! are you serious with RAIN?!?!?! i’m sooo jealous. how did you get an interview with him? did you guys speak english or another language?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAIN?????????????????
Can’t wait till Monday!!!!
I am a male but I am jealous too. Same questions with Emilie :)
yummy…are you a guy?
really??? that is cooooooool!!!!!! how did you get the interview?
that’s cool that you got an exclusive man.congrats.
What’s the big fuss of interviewing Rain? He is not famous in the states and he plays a small role in his coming movie.
Yes, seriously, THE Rain.
Mia… stay tune :)
Emilie… what a spoiler question lol. The interview was done with the help of an interpreter; Rain sounded polite and nice though.
And yes, I am a guy.
Long story about how to get the interview, and I think I should keep some of the confidentiality of how it was done. Basically a website that I co-edit got the invitation to interview Rain, and my co-editors didn’t have the confidence to conduct the interview… so it had to be me.
Thanks Eloy.
Anon 8… I know he is not really that famous in US; even Rain himself has admitted the fact during the interview. It doesn’t change the fact though, that he is a superstar in Asia.
I am not sure how others would be if they managed to get that interview, but for me… I am happy, really happy.
wow !! can’t wait to know what you ask and what he answered !!! you’re very lucky !!!
wow, cool!
that’s probably once in a lifetime (or not, since you have experience now)!
and no, you are not gay.
if i got to interview a female celeb, i would feel the same too =]
congrats yeinjee!
hope you asked some great questions =]
I totally don’t agree with Anonymous (8)…Rain is famous in the states and like Yein Jee said he’s a superstar in asia.
hoddy… lucky indeed.
bb… it could be once in a lifetime; I didn’t expect it to happen, and I am not sure if it’s going to happen again. It’s luck.
Nah, I know I am not gay… couldn’t find a better word to describe the feeling at that moment though.
lol great questions? I am not sure about that… the only thing I hope is that I didn’t ask anything stupid.
congrats bro.. can’t wait to read the interview ^_^
Thanks ken.
