Is Rain losing his magical touch?

20071027bi25

With sexy dance moves that can make any girl swoon, wannabe world-star, Rain (25) performed his “It’s Raining” tour in front of 15,000 fans in Daegu on October 27th, 2007.

But it seems that he might be losing his magic. After a 10 month hiatus, we all know that Rain has been through a lot- parting ways with JYP, concert cancellations, founding a new company, filming a Hollywood movie and claiming that he was a victim of discrimination. And so, in order to get back into his game, Rain (bi) has called upon the higher powers to channel the ex-king of pop, Michael Jackson - the gloved one - to cast a spell on the audience. Notice the hand signals.

For casting a strong spell, Rain needs to wear his sunglasses (at night)

20071027bi3 20071027bi8

First, point up

Then, to the left

20071027bi1320071027bi1120071027bi1620071027bi19

Now, balancing both sides

20071027bi1520071027bi1720071027bi14

Protection against any evil forces directed back at him

20071027bi720071027bi1

Checking if spell is working

20071027bi30

The spell must be working

20071027bi24

Gathering his power via the Karate Kid move

20071027bi27

Throwing in a Michael Jackson crotch grab move for good measure

20071027bi34

Signalling the victims audience to focus back on him

20071027bi35

Doing a bit of robotic speak with his belly.

20071027bi23

To ensure that no one is left out of the spell, Rain does his best move - the nipple flash jump

20071027bi620071027bi32

Knowing that his spell has worked, Rain does a victory dance, i.e. the cabbage patch.

20071027bi28

Now the question is: How long will the spell last? Or is it already over?

    **AWESOME**

    Oh yeah, channeling a PEDOPHILE who is despised in America (so much so that the bastard hasn’t even lived here in years) is SUCH a good way to win over Americans, right? Yeah, right.

  4. 4 lol October 28, 2007 at 12:45 am

    lmao.
    u totally rox.

  5. 5 becker October 28, 2007 at 12:48 am

    LOL. This is hilarious!

  6. 6 yeli October 28, 2007 at 12:59 am

    is Michael Jackson really “hated” in America?…

  7. 7 XiaoXi October 28, 2007 at 1:05 am

    If Americans don’t swoon when Rain channels–yes–the hated pedophile from the ’80s its because they are racists…racist against a pedophile, you know, because he is black. And racist against a Korean because we have different taste than regurgitated 20 year old performances.

    I like the guys voice, I think he has an interesting presence on screen. It’s up to him to come up with something Americans want to buy.

  8. 8 Mics October 28, 2007 at 1:09 am

    hahahah the nipple flash jump

  9. 9 fayta October 28, 2007 at 1:10 am

    loooool at rain’s dance moves and the story behind them… i hope he gets himself together soon…

    as for michael:
    he’s not hated in america… people just like to make fun of him, because…. well self explanatory… they often call him “jacko, wacko”…but nobody ever says “the pedophile”… he has a lot of supporters… nowadays people like to refer to him as “middle aged korean woman”… which i find kinda insulting, cuz michael isn’t what you would call “handsome”… hehe he …

  10. 10 szai October 28, 2007 at 1:19 am

    hahahh!!! i almost died laughing at your comments at those picures! wahahahah!!! it was really funny! whahahah!!!

    i hope he’d hit the gym more often to get back to a better shape or better yet try even harder.

  11. 11 Vanessaly October 28, 2007 at 1:25 am

    HMM I do like Rain but yeah he lost it!

  12. 12 starz12 October 28, 2007 at 1:29 am

    i don’t get why some people is critizising rain.. i don’t know anything about his stories, but i think his goood.. so what if he tries to win the hearts of america, if your a celeb, you would do that too.. i would… anyways.. he’s hot….love him no matter what

  15. 15 Di October 28, 2007 at 1:40 am

    OoohHhhh BUuuUURN!!!
    Man, Rain doesn’t look good in any of these photos, more like an ape.

  16. 16 YaHa October 28, 2007 at 1:53 am

    lol… nice spell

  17. 17 Raye October 28, 2007 at 1:57 am

    Aww so much haters on Popseoul. Rain is great and not losing anything. Neither is he going anywhere anytime soon.

    But those comments are funny.

    BTW, fayta, when have ppl called MJ a “middle age korean lady?” they call him a “middle aged white lady” and a reason why us Americans don’t like him is because he is a joke. but he still does have a decent amount of fans somewhere…

  18. 18 Meru October 28, 2007 at 2:08 am

    LOL, nipple flash… I like how this is Popseoul’s special response to all those who said, “Popseoul got it wrong, he didn’t say ‘discrimination’, take that Rain-slandering post down.” Come on, PS is just razzing him, slander is more about tasteless cursing and name-calling somebody. Rain just provied the right material at the bad time.

  19. 19 Shin[hearts]KANGIN!! October 28, 2007 at 2:13 am

    HAHA! funny! hahahhaha! loved all the comments!

  20. 20 se7enfan October 28, 2007 at 2:17 am

    Yes Michael Jackson is hated in America for being an accused pedophile for being a freak and a race traitor. For all the plastic surgery he did to his face. For being born a black boy and is currently a white woman…For falling so low and so hard from his former glory that he will never get back…for failing to love himself and his people. He never thought that something like hip-hop would ever exist or a Oprah and a Jay-Z…he lost alllllll of his money and is trying to come back with a new album that no one will buy.

  21. 21 Rayne October 28, 2007 at 2:24 am

    omg… rain needs to seriously change his style

    that was like, a TERRIBLE shot of him. it was just horrible (how many wrinkles can you count on his face?)

    wtf is up with mike jackson? why does he hafta influence perfectly decent korean stars??? WTFFFFFFFF

  22. 22 shinjinny October 28, 2007 at 2:44 am

    Popseoul, you crack me up.

    He’s missing one triple salcow and a twist at the end!!!

  23. 23 carmen October 28, 2007 at 2:58 am

    hmm..never knew rain had such big eyes till i saw the first photo which looks totally bad either cos he was too excited at performing or the photographer was just terrible at capturing the moment..

  24. 24 Stephanie October 28, 2007 at 3:08 am

    so mnay people like him i think he is going last for a long time and he is a good singer and he is different from other singers that go partying so much

  25. 25 Kitsune October 28, 2007 at 3:16 am

    Popseoul I´m really hating you
    and I think you like that

    it was so strange some ironic good comments about Rain!

    whatever you said
    I know that his concert was perfect!

    Abous his style
    He will change it with a NEW album
    because now he is in the same tour
    he can´t change!

  26. 26 Annie October 28, 2007 at 3:18 am

    This is why I’m addicted to your blog, your comments makes my day. back to Rain,

    he needs and must have to come back to play the full house to gain back his mega superstardom.

  27. 27 freshhhh October 28, 2007 at 3:22 am

    Here’s the answer to your question: yes.

  28. 28 dwilliams October 28, 2007 at 3:36 am

    Se7en fan I think you are smoking if you think Michael Jackson is broke, I think people forget one thing his album Thriller is in the record books as the greatest album evcr sold. Also He just added FOOTlose and some music to his expanding Beatles or music catalog so he is far from broke believe that. Also who do you think Michael gave his first interview to Oprah so I dont quite understand what you mean by that.

    Whatever comes out of your smelly mouth, remember these 5 irrefutable facts:

    1. Rain: MOSTLY ACCLAIMED Asian artist - multi-awarded;
    globally-recognized

    2. Rain: DEARLY LOVED by LEGIONS of fans from the four
    corners of the globe

    3. Rain: A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVER whose feats can
    never be grasped by your booger-sized brain
    nor can be equalled by his former mentor
    who probably play host to parasites like you

    4. Rain: A PHENOMENAL SUPERSTAR who will
    indefatigably bring pride and joy to your
    beloved 대한민국 (stop pretending
    that you’re an American because your
    stomach belches out the pungency of the dog
    meat that you had for dinner)

    5. Rain: T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D (a trait that losers like you
    are so envious of)

  31. 31 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 4:18 am

    LMAO at “EverLoyal”. You sound insane.

  32. 32 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 4:25 am

    “Se7en fan I think you are smoking if you think Michael Jackson is broke”

    You. Are. So. Ignorant.

    It is very, very, very well-documented here in the U.S. that Jackson is cash-broke. He has NO CASH ON HAND. All the money he has left is tied in “stuff”, like his Beatles catalogue, etc. He has not had a hit record in at least a decade. He is embroiled in so many lawsuits (many of which have been on-going for YEARS) that the media can’t keep up with reporting them. THIS is why he left the country a few years ago and went to the middle east after the last pedophilia court case. He has lost millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars in lawsuits, lawyers fees, paying off the families of the kids he has molested, paying off the mother of his “children” (they aren’t his–he bought them), repeatedly borrowing from debtors to pay off other debts, etc. His money has all been wasted on paying off his deviant and disgusting lifestyle.

    It is high time people stop trying to defend Wacko Jackson by constantly falling back on Thriller. It. Was. Just. A. Record. No one gives a sh*t about that anymore in light of all the ILLEGAL, CORRUPT and BIZARRE things he has done in the 25 years since Thriller.

  33. 33 wow October 28, 2007 at 4:26 am

    oh shutup dumpling == ever loyal is just a loyal fan thats all
    u are being digusting

  34. 34 Raye October 28, 2007 at 4:26 am

    I totally agree with Everloyal, Dumpling you ain’t nothing but a jealous-ass loser.

  35. 35 shanny October 28, 2007 at 4:29 am

    Why do people still like MJ? (asians seem to be pretty crazy about him still. Maybe cause he looks like a anime character now?) Sure he has dont some great music and been a big part of the industry… but I think when you are a pedo it cancels everything out lol

  36. 36 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 4:30 am

    ***applauds se7enfan***

    Excellent post and every word is true.

  37. 37 DT October 28, 2007 at 4:34 am

    EVERLOYAL stupid obsessive fangirl wake up. Rain drying up. The difference between Rain and MJ is. Even if MJ is a washed up Pedo, he will still be remembered for his music. He is the King of Pop and one of the biggest influences in pop in his early years. MJ as bad as he is as person, he is a living legend in music and a innovator. And Rain? He’s a imitator, mediocre singer and dancer. In the Years to come people will still remember MJ’s music, while ppl will STILL ask who da hell is Rain? Also even tho he’s not with the company anymore Rain has to stop raiding JYP’s closet .

  38. 38 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 4:35 am

    @ Fayta

    Everything you wrote is NOT TRUE. How can you dare lie like that? Michael Jackson is super hated and despised in this country. Not just for being weird, either. FOR BEING A PEDOPHILE. You said “no one ever says ‘the pedophile’…” Lie, lie, lie, lie. In America his pedophilia history is well-known, talked about, and well-documented for more than 20 years. You are not honest and are believing what YOU want to believe.

    The abosolute total honest truth is this: there TWO words that are most commonly associated with Michael Jackson in the United States and they are:

    PEDOPHILE
    and
    FREAK

  39. 39 ed October 28, 2007 at 4:37 am

    ROFL “Protection against any evil forces “…PS kicks ass!
    if rain’s gonna call up jackson, i suggest he look into the 90s stuff - In the Closet, Remember the Time. now THAT’s true innovation. time to overhaul these same old moves from months, years ago in rain’s OWN repertoire!

  40. 40 Kitsune October 28, 2007 at 4:40 am

    Because MJ had his great moment, and that is important
    his music & dance was the best on those years…
    whatever he is now… is other time
    so just keeping in mind good times.

  41. 41 Aya October 28, 2007 at 4:41 am

    I call him a pedophile all the time. And a freak. So does every human being I’ve ever met. What Dumpling says is very true, it’s well documented I think he even filed for bankrup…cy…. Everloyal you sound like a faggot yourself when all you can do is stoop to attacking someone in an attempt to defend him. No one doesn’t recognize his feats, but just like Michael, we all recognize where he is now. Michael the pedophile freak has die hard fans still too. Even though he is a white woman, skeletal person. He spent all his money on a theme park…

    Yeah I like the ignorance that floats around.

  42. 42 CutiEjOy October 28, 2007 at 4:51 am

    lol. that’s a good one popseoul! :)

  43. 43 Kitsune October 28, 2007 at 4:52 am

    whatever MJ is now
    the music was good, and the music don´t die
    so that´s the good part
    I´m not a MJ fan
    just I like his music

  44. 44 Cookhwan October 28, 2007 at 5:07 am

    His nipple is more famous than himself.

  45. 45 Se7enFan October 28, 2007 at 5:08 am

    Popseoul conversations are the best…lol.

    @dwilliams about the Oprah thing…did you hear what Al Sharpton said about Michael Jackson? he said there was a time when they needed his help but Michael didn’t want to get involved because the issue was “TOO BLACK.” So Al Sharpton said he lived to see the day that Michael needed his help!! I say all of that to say….look at Michael Jackson…what does he look like??? He was trying to erase his ethnicity. Having Vitiligo is one theory and I know that but do your research. Vitiligo does not do that to a person and look at his hair!! It isn’t even “natural” anymore. Oprah is a Billionaire a BILLIONAIRE! and I haven’t seen here change the color of her skin at all. I am saying that Michael probably thought there would never be a person like Oprah because of how he felt about himself and his people. That is what I mean…and now look at Michael…

  46. 46 Lim J Lover October 28, 2007 at 5:14 am

    lol Maybe Rain has a thing for Michael and he’s trying to attract him by channeling him. He probably thinks that if Michael comes he’ll inject whatever “magic” he has left into his body. Little does poor delusion drizzle know he’s about 25 years too old.

  47. 47 DM October 28, 2007 at 5:15 am

    All I have to say is… the goddamn outfits gotta go!!! Really baaaaad.

    And to “Everloyal to R~A~I~N,” what’s with that comment? That was really uncalled for. It only shows what assholes Rain has for fans. I’m not a Rain-hater or big fan but that was just ridiculous.

    “stop pretending that you’re an American because your
    stomach belches out the pungency of the dog meat that you had for dinner” —-The heck? Talking about eating dog? I don’t know the significance of this remark but last time I checked the rumors about eating dog food is about Filipinos (which may not be true, I don’t know). So are you saying Dumpling is Filipino? And if she/he is, so? And?

  48. 48 Meru October 28, 2007 at 5:18 am

    LOL. Rain topics always deviate to heated Michael Jackson speculations. Poseoul conversations are insane and the best, yes.

  49. 49 Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH October 28, 2007 at 5:25 am

    Cheers to wow & Raye!!!

    DUMPLING a.k.a. CONGENITALLY DEFORMED FAGGOT is a sucker who feeds on the slimy mucus puked out by the raunchy ‘dancing gorilla on stage’ that’s why he keeps on bashing Rain.

    How much dough do YOU get every month,SODOMITE?

  50. 50 Blech October 28, 2007 at 5:27 am

    Dumpling is actually Popseoul herself.

  51. 51 Aya October 28, 2007 at 5:29 am

    Wow, Ever Loyal. Do you ever wonder if Rain would ever take you as a wife? I assume you are a girl only becauseyou assume Dumpling is a guy and because you like Rain. Unless you are gay, which is ok, but you are incredibly vulgar and you simply sound stupid. You need some help, my friend.

  52. 52 Aivoxora October 28, 2007 at 5:30 am

    Hahah, perfect timing. YOu have great sense of humour. !! Hhaahaha. My stomach hurts.

  53. 53 DT October 28, 2007 at 5:48 am

    TO Ever Loyal

    Just because not everyone accepts Rain doesn’t give you the right to aattck them. Your nothing but filthy trash talker.
    You call him/her a “sucker who feeds on the slimy mucus puked out by the raunchy ‘dancing gorilla on stage’” I think that describes you more than Dumpling. He/ She is not the one mindlessly defending Rain from every little criticism.
    You worship Rain like a GOD, which he is far from. You lack logic and can’t accept anything that’s not your belief. Your nothing but an intolerant blind fool who mindlessly say crap with no backing and cannot accept the truth. And what the hell does how much dumpling make concern you? Seriosuly GROW UP. I don’t hate Rain, but hate these stupid “fans” that bash everyone who isn’t a fan of his.

  54. 54 nas October 28, 2007 at 5:50 am

    rain’s supa-awesome…kudos to him an all his hard-work but i think…yea…rain’s losin his touch mann. he supa rox and hott but i think after the hiatus, he shld re-invent himself and he more matured or somethin…i’m kinda findin him more cheesy and lame by the min

  55. 55 Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH October 28, 2007 at 5:55 am

    Aya,where have you been?

    Fyi, Dumpling’s mouth is the repository of lewdness and vulgarity just like his master who pays him to badmouth Rain. And don’t overreact emotionally the next time you read the word ‘faggot’ because you give us an idea of what you are.

    DT: Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious STUPIDITY.”

    Try these stuff when you visit Korea so you’d enjoy inhaling the aroma of Dumpling’s breath:

    1. bosintang - dog stew including dog meat as its primary ingredient.

    2. gaejangguk - dog meat soup.

    3. gaesuyuk - boiled dog meat.

    4. gaesoju - a fermented drink that is distilled by cooking the dog in a double boiler.

    5. duruchigi - pan-fried dog meat with gravy and vegetables.

    6. jeongol - dog meat hot pot.

    Rain fans also know how to fight back, freak.

    Cheers!

  56. 56 Clueless October 28, 2007 at 6:18 am

    Ummmmmmm, QUESTION:

    Filipinos eat DOG?
    Koreans eat DOG?
    Any other Asians eat DOG?

    I thought that was just a mean joke? If it’s true, then why do they get offended??? I find eating dog wrong, but that’s because I like them for pets.

    - Clueless Non-Asian.

  57. 57 Waiting-for-Rain-to-Shine October 28, 2007 at 6:24 am

    Rain, please keep your EGO from flying too high! Stay humble Oppa. Think before you speak.

    I still believe in you!

  58. 58 DT October 28, 2007 at 6:39 am

    Wait Wait WAit Ever Loyal, your now bashing Koreans? Did you forget Rain was Korean? Or did ur inflated ego block that out? Dumpling hasn’t bashed another person except MJ here. And we Americans all know and say that he is a Pedophile. You on the other hand is nothing but crude and vulgar to any member who doesn;t like rain and has something to say about him. You reek stupidity and hypocrisy. You are the first one here to sink so low and resort to name calling to other members and even a whole race. You now not only revealed that your a obsessive fangirl but also a racist pig. I don’t see how you can say ur a fan of Rain who many fans called the ambassador of Korea yet bash Asians (along with Kroeans) as dog eaters. We’re here to talk about rain yet you just took it to a whole new level with your blatant disgusting-ness. Sure some people may have took the Rain bashing a bit over broad, but you took it to a whole new level. You think Rain would like someone who calls his race dog eaters? I say you be quiet now before you disgrace yourself and other true Rain fans more.

  59. 59 DT October 28, 2007 at 6:43 am

    Also you are not fighting back, your just throwing around random insults. If you want to fight back, use true info and prove the haters wrong, not stoop as low as you did. Oh for your info i am a ex-Rain fan but i recognize his flaws and his actions recently has pissed me off. If your a true rain fan you would acknowledge his mistakes rather than hide them behind disgusting insults.

  60. 60 Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH October 28, 2007 at 6:45 am

    DT, Dumpling, DM, D…?

    I’m so glad I made your blood boil with just a few posts on this site. This is really what happens when a sleeping tiger wakes up and retaliates.

    Chill out, freak!

    lmfao! haha!
    i was totally cracking up with those captions.
    very clever.

    and i was thinking…wait, where’s the crotch grab? and yup, popseoul totally makes their point.

    thanks for posting this! i needed a laugh at work today.

    i loved the “check if spell is working” caption. that’s pose says it all.

  63. 63 May October 28, 2007 at 7:11 am

    Thank you “Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH”
    I’m sick of doing the dirty work in Popseoul here :P

    Whether you’re a fan or not, it does not change the fact that Rain has stepped where noone has dared to step before.
    In my opinion, he hasn’t fail anything. He has accomplished more things than an entire entertainment company would ever dream of.
    The only “wrong” thing he ever did was cancelled the LA concert AT THE LAST MINUTE, which cause many fans to be in distress. If I’m not wrong, there are PLENTY of artists that cancels their concert. and they’re all world star artists too.

    But Hey, one good thing came out of the concert is now POPSEOUL finally has something to talk about :)

    In the end, regardless of what people think, he’s still hogging all the media attentions, fans, money, fame, awards, recognitions.

    so *shrugs* I don’t have to defend him anymore, I think his cash pocket speaks for itself.

  64. 64 May October 28, 2007 at 7:14 am

    “Now the question is: How long will the spell last? Or is it already over?”

    The spell is over when no one reply to your Rain post anymore, POPSEOUL. So…apparently not.

  65. 65 hateJJH October 28, 2007 at 7:18 am

    Thanks guys for always the awesomest convo. even Ever, at least there’s some nasty thought put in, usu the clouds’ ‘fightbacks’ r LAMO

    I am rethinking my sexuality. Rain is makin me…am I the only girl that is not finding him one bit appealing?! I even try to look beyond the fugly face… so I’m asking myself am I gay?!
    And his nipple flashing sig move…he REALLY SERIOUSLY should stop. All I see is a chunk of blinding white bleh no definition and his boyish nipple.

    I dunno if anyone worship Consey but Rain can be his character on Pale Force.

  66. 66 DT October 28, 2007 at 7:35 am

    your telling me to chill out? You haven’t haven’t pissed me off… i just find what you say disgusting. Sleeping tiger my ass, you have said nothing logical and meaningful. I’m not going to waste my time anymore talking to someone as stubborn and blind sighted as you. And you failed to respond to any of my statements. Instead you just proved me right. Keep talking, your actions just reveal more of the messed up person you are.

    Y vuelvo a lo mismo… Ha tenido mala racha y que? todos tenemos buenos y malos momentos… Seguro cuando a ti te botan de un trabajo o te expulsan de la escuela justo cuando estas apunto de graduarte o de conseguir el puesto que anhelas.. seguro vas a estar saltando y gritando de la alegria, por que te botaron? .. Pnd…ja.. La depresion que te ataca no es normal y de paso no quieres saber nada de nada.. Mas bien el muchacho ha hecho mucho y mas ahora que esta por su cuenta.. Al menos denle algo de credito tambien que bastante mal tiempo ha pasado y se ha recuperado y esta haciendo lo mejor que puede…

    lol. very funny popseoul! hahaha. made my day.
    again. =)

    @Bihae
    eso es cierto, ahora está solo,
    y se dedican a criticarlo por todo!
    es muy injusto!

    “DT, Dumpling, DM, D…?”
    wooo are the same?

    Always think that

  70. 70 Clueless October 28, 2007 at 7:57 am

    Hey, I’m still clueless. So is it true Asians eat dogs?!!!
    =(

  71. 71 DT October 28, 2007 at 8:05 am

    @kitsune Good Job Sherlock Holmes, Our names start with D so that must mean they are the same ppl! *sarcasm* JK, seriously hough we are not, i guess we all just are tired of Rain and all the attention the media is giving him. although i have nothing against him, i just don’t like how he’s acting and the stuff he’s doing lately.
    And Clueless yes some people in Asian countries do eat dogs, I’m not sure which ones tho. I prefer my dog as my pet, not my dinner. ^^

  72. 72 Arie October 28, 2007 at 8:09 am

    Congratulations XD
    This post made me choke on my food XD
    HILARIOUS!

    If you ask me, he never had the magic touch to begin with.

    RE: Ever Loyal
    LOL, boy are you creative when it comes to insults. Nevertheless, you need to chill yourself down, mmmk?
    You’re making yourself look very immature with the name calling.

  74. 74 Si -3- October 28, 2007 at 8:20 am

    Wow for once POPSEOUL has made me laugh XDDD

    hateJJH~ your not the only one -_- I have tried to like his music.. I don’t find him attractive in ANY way… especially his random hair o.O even if he was basicly one of the first korean starts I knew.

    I do not get how he is even popular was it because of his body? =.=

    ‘Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH’ please stop defending rain you seem to be the only one doing that -.- come on already in the world theres heaps of people saying things about other singers

    o yea o.o wat happened to that random breathing in and out noise that he use to make XD or does he still do it O_o?..

  75. 75 Aya October 28, 2007 at 8:21 am

    Korea does serve dogs in shady parts of the area, or so says my friend who teaches english there who took pictures of himself trying dog, and wrote a long post about how he apologizes to dogs. And he also said it is nasty.
    Why not eat dogs? Chickens can be kept as pets too, horse used to be a common food, and those also connect with humans. No doubt since ancient egypt there have been domesticated dogs, but dogs are ‘animals’ along with cows, sheep, humans and many others. Why is it odd that someone would try it? Not that I will, though sometimes I look at my dog and think “Jeez she looks delicious”
    Hahaha. So cute.
    Anyways.

    In this concert,

    Rain’s wave

    http://video.cyworld.com/S23/20071028023416646710

    There’s the news that tells us Rain will go to US for studying english systematically in this November (2007) and
    but never let us know which university he will attend at.

    http://www.diodeo.com/id=entertaintv&movie=000663376&pt_code=01

  77. 77 hmmmmwhaaaat? October 28, 2007 at 8:28 am

    Although the pictures with the captions were really entertaining and funny, I think it’s fair to find out what song Rain was dancing to in the pictures. ‘Cause if he was dancing to a Michael Jackson song, the gestures would at least be acceptable. But if he was dancing to a totally different category of songs, for example Beatles song, then the gestures are pretty much weird and inappropriate. If it was the former, then I agree with some that it wasn’t fair for popseoul to criticize Bi/Rain’s decision-making skills to incorporate some Michael Jackson moves/gestures.

    @ CLUELESS … hmmm… I’m Filipino. I don’t eat dogs. My family doesn’t eat dogs. My relatives don’t eat dogs. My friends don’t eat dogs… Nobody I know eat dogs…[do you get what I'm trying to say here..? or are you still clueless?] In fact, I currently have 8 dogs as pets at home. I know we can’t rule out everyone in this world, ’cause there’s always a 1% chance of possibility but don’t GENERALIZE. I’ve seen and heard much much worst in other parts of the world. Hmmm, perhaps the food you might be eating right now doesn’t suit well with others… ? It might be your personal choice.

  78. 78 narutaru October 28, 2007 at 8:38 am

    OMG!!! Rain is such a joke!

    I used to love him and spend alot of money on my adoration of him. However he has really become a joke.

    He should just stick to being an artist in Asia and stop deluding himself that he can become and international star.

    Also I also feel that anyone who still thinks that Rain is amazing or whatever, is also delusional.

    I am really sad that I can no longer look at photos of rain without laughing.

    I also feel that I have the right to criticize Rain, since unlike I am sure many other people I actually spent money buying his albums and dvd and importing them.

  79. 79 Raye October 28, 2007 at 8:38 am

    Lol this is getting crazy and i once again agree with
    Everloyal.

    But about Rain copying MJ thing. He isn’t the only one who does it DBSK, SUJU, BOA, MinWoo, Usher, Omarion, CB, Ciara, and many many others also do the same but when Rain do it ya’ll want to open up all damn mouths?

    And kitsune thats a great point. I never noticed that.

  80. 80 toocutedoggy October 28, 2007 at 9:08 am

    LOL LOL LOL ROFL~ …XD

    and i noticed he has his hair ” half ” tie back ~ o.0

  81. 81 peepoo October 28, 2007 at 9:18 am

    everloyal..such classy comeback responses. you sound like an idiot.

  82. 82 tangy October 28, 2007 at 10:16 am

    HAHAHA this is too funny.
    were there no good pics of him or did you guys pick out all the bad ones……don’t tell me it’s the latter….LOL.

  83. 83 NEWSFLASH October 28, 2007 at 10:21 am

    Rain is so gay.

    And people need to get used to this because there will be people in the U.S. calling him that. Get used to the gay jokes. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being gay.
    I think Rain is gay as in cheesy. Sexuality-wise, who knows? That outfit and his ‘hot’ moves are getting old and gay.

    Personally, I think he needs to keep low and quiet until the storm gets calmer. What he needs is to GET HIS MILITARY DUTIES DONE BEFORE HITTING 30. Because if he does get “famous” in America then he may never want to do it or will be reluctant to.

  84. 84 JP October 28, 2007 at 10:25 am

    PEOPLE! the subject was Rain’s reliance on stale MJ gimmicks IT’s time for a change,RAIN -AND Pretty darn quick, your window of opportunity will close if you do not take advantage of your Movie debut in 2008. You MUST DITCH MJ and THOSE horrible tacky Halloween costumes from your old
    concerts. They will laugh you off the stage in the USA. Just
    sing your best and get some new dance moves. I do wish you well but you keep regressing. I thought the Spanish pics were promising……but you don’t know WHO you are yourself.

  85. 85 caramel October 28, 2007 at 10:45 am

    lol the post was very funny.
    and I guess that so many ppl in here are very ignorant and post none sense stuff. and also so many insane answers and stereotyping. this is crazy. Anyway I do not really care abou Rain since he is a copy-cat( i really don’t mind what he does or watever) but the info about MJ was like about a 75% wrong. I guess that if Mj was guilty they would have put him behind bars a while ago. but he is not. and also to the person who said that MJ was influencing decent ksingers like Rain… lol … That was Rain choice to do the dance not YOURS…

    after all … it is raining on rain… he needs some sunshine… heheh
    popseoul I love ya and MJ he is still he king of pop there ain’t anyone like him or better than him so far.

  86. 86 sjjws October 28, 2007 at 10:54 am

    lol too lazy too look at the pictures but that first one is soo bad XD

    he really needs a haircut

  87. 87 ignorance=killer October 28, 2007 at 10:56 am

    lol guys you’all funny. when you don’t know the story you ask instead of wasting time writing crap. how jumping to a trying to fly tweedy bird(rain) who crashed anyway, to MJJ? In all cases if you know the truth about the guy, broke or not, there is more than what is thought to be behind MJJ story. For people who don’t know how to write, there is “get educated!” , but for you, all ignorants before “KNOW THE REAL STORY” before saying things that are … whatever. Bottom line: MJJ still influence good singers today, there is proof to that. the litte bird (rain) tried too hard with wrong support, and cheesy bacground, and got broken wings. Finally stay on the subject!! For you all brilliant people who insult MJJ and still dance when the light is off, it was tweedy bird(rain) on the light here, and not MJJ. Got that?

    ^ @ ignorance=killer, your post is also one (among many) in this post that gives me a headache.. i know you’re trying your best to write your opinion in English but….. i also have a hard time understanding your message.. maybe you could take your own advice and “get educated”… and it’s obviously not my ‘comprehension’ that’s at fault here.

  89. 89 kk89 October 28, 2007 at 11:32 am

    if i gave you a headache, i don’t know where to put you at.Level up genious!and OF COURSE of all the people out there, you the brainless puppy, GET EDUCATED!!!whatever it was, i don’t want to waste my PRECIOUS time writing long to you. In plain words since you need help: MJJ was not the point, the beloved RAIN ( i hope you got who i am talking about) was on the light here. I hope that is clear and plain enough for you pea brain. I am seriously sorry to have damaged your poor struggling retarded brain. peace

  96. 96 ignorance=killer October 28, 2007 at 12:14 pm

    Nonsense! and bye loosers,

    If high level is misunderstood on one side, maybe hardwork is needed on the other. I bet you don’t get that line too. Lol. Anyway, I am out of here, so keep on writing. Loosers

  97. 97 dwilliams October 28, 2007 at 12:16 pm

    Se7enfan, Oprah was around when Michael Jackson was around in the 80’s. Also there is a recent pic with Al and Michael at a bball game and they embraced as friends. What you are speaking of is in the past I am talking about the here and now and Al has no ill will towards Michael.

    Dumpling
    I won’t even go there with you but you are kidding yourself if you think Michael is like the average joe who may be broke,see rich folks meaning of broke is totally different from yours. Also you don’t have to have cash to define what being broke is. Michael has other assests as well so he can still walk in a store and get what he wants please believe that. Also so what he left America big deal so did Josephine Baker, James Baldwin and countless of other celebrities and they still got love even if it’s 50,000 fans that’s more than most will ever get.

  98. 98 Mizaki October 28, 2007 at 12:21 pm

    This bunch of posts shows just how much fail can be concentrated in one place on the internet.

  99. 99 WHAT ABOUT SE7EN? October 28, 2007 at 12:27 pm

    It’s always about RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!

    How about Se7en people! Did you all forget who he is. I’m like here, waiting and waiting for any Se7en news and it never comes! Isn’t he suppose to be debuting in USA any minute now?!?! Where the hell is he? What’s the progress? Dang, there’s not even negative news about him? I wanna hear something about Se7en more often. Why is it that it can be so simple for Rain - that he can simply take a breath or blink his eyes and it’s written all over here??? I wanna hear about Se7en, baby!

  100. 100 Mizaki October 28, 2007 at 12:32 pm

    That’s because writing about people who are cool to bash racks up the post count. All you have to do is add the following three seasonings to the pot:

    Bias
    Dumbassery
    Discrimination (of ANY sort)

    And there we go. Take some pop stars with tons of haters and bam! You’ve got a bunch of retarded people ranting with speculated views on people they’ve never met!

  102. 102 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 12:59 pm

    “I won’t even go there with you”

    And then you go there anyway…for TEN LINES.

    Not only are you ignorant and a liar, but you are so weak-willed you can’t even stop yourself from doing something a split second after you say you won’t. LMAO!!

    And I just love how you call the Pedophile “Michael” as if you are family.

    (rolls @@ eyes)

  103. 103 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 1:05 pm

    @ Aya,

    LOL, someone thinks I’m a guy?? I missed that. How incredibly stupid. I post in a lot of comments how I like various Asian male celebrities. Don’t you just love how someone reads ONE comment to ONE post and they think they know your gender?

  104. 104 Dumpling October 28, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    “Dumpling you ain’t nothing but a jealous-ass loser.”

    I’m a loser with a Masters Degree and an almost 3-figure salary. What do you have? Besides poor spelling and grammar skills, I mean?

  105. 105 Kitsune October 28, 2007 at 1:12 pm

    @WHAT ABOUT SE7EN?

    Popseoul likes antifans

    almost people loves Se7en so…
    popseoul don´t talk about him so much
    Just said that he was on a wedding x_x
    nothing about his work on US

  106. 106 snowpanda October 28, 2007 at 1:33 pm

    Hilarious as usual.
    Haha. the nipple flash jump…classic.
    But yeah….Rain is starting to hit rock bottom soon
    if that is all he could come up with..
    yet. my friend and i still continue to wish best luck to rain….and i especially hope he doesnt try any dangerous spells or he is just going to dissapear. ^^ lol.

  107. 107 Raye October 28, 2007 at 1:37 pm

    Yes Dumpling you are a loser. I’m glad you admitted it.

  108. 108 WOO October 28, 2007 at 1:37 pm

    Rain never had any magical touch to begin with.

    Learn to accept people’s opinions man, everyone’s entitled to their own thoughts.

    These people should just get a boyfriend/girlfriend instead of wasting time and trying to prove that they’re right.

    Because everybody thinks differently.

  109. 109 eli October 28, 2007 at 1:55 pm

    ^ oh so agree.

    am a fan of rain.. or was.. whatever..
    urm.. i do think that his magical touch is losing grip..
    and erm.. someone said that he’s talented?
    in dance.. yes, he is. singing. :T not quite.
    well. good luck to him in the near future.

  110. 110 SAE-BIN October 28, 2007 at 2:04 pm

    LOL ! Haha. Not a fan of him anyway :D

  111. 111 Kitsune October 28, 2007 at 2:05 pm

    Whatever you said
    I think he is a

    Fabulous actor
    Fantastic dancer
    great model
    and hardworking singer

  112. 112 lazybum October 28, 2007 at 2:08 pm

    lmao the caps were funny!! people really need to get a sense of humour these days.

    and as for Rain copying MJ, i don’t think that’s too much of a problem, but then after sooooo long, he should really get some new material, or err, more ‘inspiration’ (ie copying) his act is getting old real quick…

  113. 113 anonymous-y October 28, 2007 at 2:15 pm

    lotsa animosity here, ya?

    anyway, i never really liked rain much even before..
    but one thing kitsune said up there is kinda true.
    gotta say he’s really hardworking…

  114. 114 Zheed October 28, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    Damn.. this is like Perez Hilton. Crazy arguments.

  115. 115 Yang October 28, 2007 at 2:32 pm

    Oh, snap. The hilarity of those captions will give me giggles for days and I’m a shameless Rain fan. Let’s face it, no amount of negative OR good comments will stop Rain from making mistakes or failure, doing his nipple dance, casting spells, gaining weight, loosing weight, canceling shows, putting on shows, starting businesses, being misquoted, being stalked, being bashed, etc etc etc…
    Everyone is entitled to their opinions on whatever the matter may be however we shouldn’t make personal attacks. If you’re not smart enough to win an argument without resorting to calling someone fat, stupid, crazy, or whatever, maybe you should work on your rhetorical skills.

  116. 116 confused October 28, 2007 at 2:33 pm

    Knowing that his spell has worked, Rain does a victory dance, i.e. the cabbage patch.

    http://popseoul.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/20071027bi28.jpg

    that was the best part! :D

    oh and CLUELESS I’m filipino…and I’m a vegetarian.

  117. 117 junsufan October 28, 2007 at 2:37 pm

    YES..rain is losing his magical touch cause i’m feeling bored reading all the multiple rain posts these days..

  118. 118 jackie October 28, 2007 at 2:38 pm

    he is soooo over commercialised….

  119. 119 padii October 28, 2007 at 2:48 pm

    damn u guys are messed up. i think he should have stayed with jyp. but then again, jyp was always putting his name or shotting himself out on 3 4 songs. jyp is flopping and rain is too. but i still love him, rain that is

  120. 120 clever October 28, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    Popseoul is clever ass. I think Popseoul is a big fan of Rain. Popseoul is making Rain more and more popular.

  121. 121 F October 28, 2007 at 3:12 pm

    “I’m a loser with a Masters Degree and an almost 3-figure salary.”

    Um. Who cares?

  122. 122 KaWaiiMegaMi October 28, 2007 at 3:47 pm

    omg, popseouL!!
    you are sOo funny!!!
    hahahahahahahaha!!

  123. 123 CelineQ October 28, 2007 at 4:21 pm

    I’m a Rain lover, but this is funny!
    As to whether he’s lost his magical touch - I dunno, but I must say, he does seem to have “lost it” a bit especially after he left JYP - compare him one year ago and now, physically he has now grown so *fat*. Of course, he has gone through a lot the past one year. I must say he was really at his peak in the first half of this year and now seems to have slipped somewhat, I think probably because he has not released any new album in the last one year.

  124. 124 XiaoXi October 28, 2007 at 4:33 pm

    caramel: do you really believe that every guilty person is in prison? No one gets off? Yeah, and OJ is out looking for the real killers even as you read this.

    Stick your head in the sand if you want, but those were innocent kids MJ was sexually assaulting. I don’t care how much someone likes his music or dancing–you should be able to call evil evil when you see it. Get your priorities straight.

  125. 125 Icysnowqueen October 28, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    I do not think Rain has lost his popularity. His ardent fans are still around. However, I don’t think he needs to do MJ moves to be up there. Those choreographers got to be shot for making him look MJ!

  126. 126 its_trish October 28, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    First of all.. nice post PS! Those captions are hilarious. Especially the “Karate Kid” bit hehe
    Secondly.. wow. I just spent too much time reading some very heated posts. [It seems that some people should really be trying to improve their English.] People people.. chill out k.
    *But I do have to admit that you do add to the ‘entertaining’ aspect of reading this blog..*

  128. 128 dike October 28, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    It’s his style. Let him off!

    You weren’t even at the concert and you’re just basing on those pictures. Very lousy.

    Popseoul, so pathetic.

    I know, people will call me fangirl. I know. I am. But I do not “praise” him. But Im just telling you that what you’re doing to Rain isn’t fair.

    Oh well, you generated so much traffic/visits on your previous Rain post, so you’re also using Rain for your own good. See, everything Rain-related would bring something.

  129. 129 Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH October 28, 2007 at 8:08 pm

    DUMPLING a.k.a. CONGENITALLY DEFORMED FAGGOT: “I’m a loser with a Masters Degree and an almost 3-figure salary.”

    Is that what you sop up from the “dancing ogre err..gorilla” in exchange for the dirty works against Rain that you splatter all over this site?

    It’s so meagre, freak, considering the amount of effort you expend to unleash the dancing gorilla’s rage since Rain is no longer his money machine.

    Get another employer, geek! Or better yet, form your own homophile band and be the icon of faggotry!

    ~~~~sending my warm regard to May~~~~

  130. 130 choo October 28, 2007 at 8:32 pm

    Cmon! What do you expext? He has a pair of arms, he has a pair of legs, and he’s a dancer! What do you expect him to do with those? Duh!

    Give me one singer-dancer who doesn’t raise their arms and use their legs for their dance moves.

    This writer is so dumb! Popseoul, you could find a better one.

    And please, why do you have a two-in-a-row Rain related post. Now, I’m already believing that you just want enough site traffic.

    I’m expecting for the next post to be totally unrelated to Rain.

  131. 131 choo October 28, 2007 at 8:39 pm

    I agree. Even if Michael Jackson or R.kelly or whoever have done a terrible thing, they’re still good singers/performers and have influenced a lot of singers with their music.

    You people don’t know how to separate their professional and personal lives. Do that sometimes, and you may find yourself enjoying their music more. Just like how it is in life.

    Btw, I saw some clips, I have to admit, Rain is a really good performer. Give him some credit.

  132. 132 fuy October 28, 2007 at 10:04 pm

    Ever loyal to R~A~I~N_CPH

    is probabaly a 12 year old fan girl with nothing better to do

    as you get older little girl youre going to have to learn to deal with the opinions of others

  133. 133 Raihana October 28, 2007 at 10:20 pm

    stop the act Rain..you’re getting so boring now..
    just enlist and join the Army..you might come back a better man..
