My Blog

from the day you came
i’ve been touched by an angel
its like i’ve known you in a longtime
like two stars that shine

the dream in found in you
and let me think of you
i am gonna let you know
ain’t gonna let you go

you showed me the meaning of love
and i am forever in love
you make me feel something new
and i want to be with you

you’re the air so i can breathe
the emptiness of what could be
the loneliness without you would be
shows everything you mean to me

if i could  keep you all my life
the way that i feel for you inside
give me your heart for the rest of your life
i know i can’t survive when i feel the pain inside

now i realize that your no longer mine
but i am hoping that the pain will ease in time
coz it hurts me so
and now its time to let go

there a loneliness in my heart
deep inside it hurts
i hear my heart crying
it feels like dying

i want to forget the fast
and dream tomorrow
i want to save my heart
for care and loving too

now your gone its time for me to carry on
but i just can’t go on
if i should ever find someone new
i know his better than you

but before you say goodbye
please stay for a while
put your lips on mine
co’z i don’t want to waste this time ….

Rain was recently awarded a presidential commendation for this money saving skills by Financial Services Commission on the 45th Savings Day.

Since debuting in 2002, Bi has contributed back to the motherland by donating portions of the profits from his performances to underprivileged children and victims of the Tae-an oil spill.

The comeback singer brings new meaning to ’saving for a rainy day’.

Kim Ji-soo was also awarded for her money-saving skills

One of the 3 largest broadcasters in Korea, SBS, has announced that Rain’s fresh track, “You” will be banned from television.

SBS deemed the song as inappropriate due to the suggestive lyrics:

I am stuck in your lumps
hide your rump, because of you I need to take a dump
Wet my body so I can feel it whenever
Your sexy lips are touching me all over

Ok. If you have read this far, you are probably thinking, “WTH”? “because of you I need to take a dump.” Well, that’s not Rain’s line, it’s ours. We just had to add it in because it rhymed with “lump” and “rump.”

Hee hee. Here is the real translation:

I am stuck in your lumps
hide your rump,

because of you, I am going crazy
Wet my body so I can feel it whenever
Your sexy lips are touching me all over
The original:
“너의 그 볼륨에 내가 꽂혀 있어” “엉덩이를 감춰 너 때문에 정말 내가 미쳐” “내 몸을 적셔 언제나 내가 느껴지게” “섹시한 네 입술이 날 만지고 있어”

Well, we know that SBS has a track record of not making smart moves. So by banning Rain’s song from television will only create more hype for Rain and his new album. Duh.

Rain is the first cover model to be featured on 2 big magazine covers in Korea- Esquire and Harpers Bazaar for November 2008. Generally, these magazines slap on foreign top models, but now they have gone overboard with 2 covers with domestic bred Rain. Unfortunately for Rain, the magazine thinks it’s “Beginning to Rain all over the world” as opposed to him already ruling the world with his “rainisms.”

The hit drama, ‘Full House’ is expected to return to the small screen with “Full House, Season 2” since it aired in 2004.

The sequel will be taped in various locations around Asia as well as include Chinese and Japanese actors to make the drama a truly Asian one. As for the main cast, there is no word yet on whether Rain or Song Hye-kyo from the original will join the sequel. However, the producers would prefer to have at least one of the main actors as part of the cast in Season 2.

Already, rumor has it that 20 episodes have been written. “Full House, Season 2″ is expected to air in August 2009.

But he’s no Michael Jackson or Usher.

Wearing a scarf around his waist, Rain performed his comeback stage fully clothed on Mnet Countdown on October 23rd.

With his comeback album, “rainism” and his attempt to take over the world with it, you need to understand the man. To do that, you first need to understand his language. POPSEOUL! has picked the top 5, “Rainisms” to get inside the mind and menu of the so-called “world star,” Rain.

5th: “Finally, I make it”

How cute is that? -not. Sounds like something a five year old child would say, but a grown man said it on his comeback special on MBC in October 2008.

4th: “you know”

Rain used “you know” at every opportunity during his English interviews at Comic con in the summer, you know. You know that he must have been really nervous, you know, but that’s not an excuse, you know to speak in “you knows.”

An excerpt from the Latinoreview.com interview in response to training for his role in Ninja Assassin:

You know every time you know every day I throw up. [LAUGHS] It was really hard. You know it almost killed me

3rd: “Magic Feet”

In our phone interview with Rain this summer (sorry the interview is no longer available), the singer himself told us to call him: “magic feet.” So now we know the extend of his creativity- from “magic feet” to “magic stick” (see below)

2nd: “magic stick” or pronounced by Rain as “majesty”

So we know Rain is desperate to settle down. For goodness sakes, the man referred to his 2 swords in the promo movie poster for Ninja Assassin as his “2 girlfriends.” And he recently confessed he is going to get married next year (more on that later). So now we know what he wants to do with “Magic stick? Too much information.

“Magic stick” is part of the creative lyrics written by Rain for his latest song, “Bad Boy.”

And finally…drum roll please…..

1st: “controlling my mind and menus with chicken breast and vegetables…”

This is easily best line of 2008. The pop star used the memorized phrase a few times in his English interviews at Comic com in San Diego at the end of July 2008 (and we have used it relentlessly on POPSEOUL!). Best. Line. Ever.

Just in case you missed it, check it out the interviews for movieweb.com, Latinoreview.com and here.

And that’s certainly not another name for his feet.

From “Magic Feet” to “Magic stick” - Rain again demonstrates his colorful command of the English language with the use of the unsubtle term, “magic stick” in the lyrics that he wrote for his latest track, “Bad Boy.”

My magic stick is spinning in your shivering body. You can’t go beyond my body shake. Make it Rainism The Rainism. Feel my body.”

떨리는 니 몸 안을 돌고 있는 나의 MAGIC STICK/ 더 이상 넘어갈 수 없는 한곌 느낀 BODY SHAKE/ MAKE IT RANISM THE RANISM 내 몸을 느껴 버렸어

The Korean media is divided over the use of sexually explicit lyrics. One side insists that the lyrics were intended for the international market, so it’s ok. The other side argue that the reference to his “magic stick” are not appropriate for Korean audiences.  

But we have known for a while that our little Magic Feet  has been desperate-the difference is that he’s just admitted it.

A woman’s magazine?

That’s right. But Rain is not alone. Dressed in a colonial military outfit, Mr. Chocolate shares it with top Kyopo model, Hye Park.  Both are featured in the November 2008 issue of Harpers Bazaar (Korea).

However, one magazine is not enough exposure. Rain will also be featured in the latest issue of the men’s magazine, Esquire too.

Rain is the first Korean male star to be featured on the cover of Harpers

Comebacks seem to come in 3’s. The first wave included the trio of pop “divas” of Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Hyori and Suh In-young in the summer. Next was the idol groups in early Fall with Wondergirls, Dong-bang-shin-ki going head to head with Big Bang. And now, it’s the men- Rain, Kim Jong-gook and Wheesung.

Rain  makes his way back into the Korean spotlight after 2 years with his 5th attempt to take over the world by way of the album ”Rainism.” In contrast, Wheesung shows his Tina Turner side with a new image makeover to promote his new album which will go on sale on October 29th. And Kim Jong-gook simply keeps it real.

So the question is… who are you looking forward to seeing?
