A chat with Rain the Korean superstar

April 26, 2008 by Yein Jee

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.

Rain saying bye bye to JYP

May 31, 2007 by Yein Jee

Korean pop stars Rain and JYPKorean pop star Rain will leave his mentor Park Jin-young after the end of his contract in June.

Rain joined JYP Entertainment as a trainee in 2000 and made his debut in 2002; he is now one of the top pop acts across Asia. There are rumours that he will be starting his own company; with his popularity and recent Hollywood advancement, he’s not short of options.

JYP will have to find someone to fill the void… the Wonder Girls perhaps?

[Update] The duo got back together as a team in December 2010.
