| Post subject: Shanghai: Rain is coming - 07 World Tour (Apr 14, at 7:30pm) |
Time: 2007/4/14
Venue: Shanghai Stadium
Price: 120/220/380/580/880/1280/1880
Bi aka Rain, born on the 25th of June 1982, is a well known actor and singer in South Korea. He uses his stage name 'Bi', when he performs as a singer and dancer. His real name is Jung Ji Hoon, which he uses when he performs as an actor. As a teenager, he was part of the boyband group called "fanclub" and years after the group ended, Park Jin Young (Korean producer/singer who worked with American singers Will Smith, Mase, Lil'Kim, 3LW, Tyrese) took Bi under his wings after he auditioned for JYP entertainment and trained him for years in dancing and singing. Bi was a back-dancer for a famous Korean singer named Park Ji Yoon and Park Jin Young himself.
Finally in 2002 he debuted with the song "nappun namja (bad guy)" charming fans with his singing and powerful choreography. After the 1st album, he starred in the drama "Sangdoo Hakyo Gaja (sangdoo let's go to school)"; many people were impressed by his acting skills regardless that it was his first time acting in a drama. Following the success of his debut, he came back with a new set of style in his 2nd album and hit song "how to avoid the sun".
In 2004, he starred in another successful drama called "Full House" which has aired in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and was one of the highest rating Korean drama which has won the hearts of many fans across Asia. His performance in Full House has won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards.
In 2005, Bi clinched the Best Buzz Asia from Korea at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2005. He also won the best Korean singer award 2005 at the Mandarin Music Honors in Taiwan. Having been voted as the best Asian singer by the Taiwanese media, Bi is positioning himself as one of the most admired Asian stars this year. Bi is currently on an Asian music tour which started in Seoul and will travel to Tokyo and Hong Kong. He is creating and showcasing fresh new spectacles at every single concert, and tickets are selling out quickly as a result. His first solo concert in Japan last summer, entitled "Rainy Day Japan" and held at the Tokyo International Forum, was so popular that all the tickets were sold out 30 seconds after going on sale. And the tickets for another of his concerts in Taiwan were sold out the moment they became available. Bi continues to set records in Asia. Now Bi will make a foray into China by giving a concert in Shanghai.

I cannot believe the article on Rain a couple of weeks ago.
Some girl said she likes Rain because he is a 'muscle guy'..........I am not quite sure how to respond to that. |

RAIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rain (Real name: Jeong Ji-Hoon, Hangul: 정지훈, Hanja: 鄭智薰, born on 25 June 1982 in Seoul) is a male Korean R&B and pop singer. He has become well-known throughout East Asia -- including Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia and Thailand -- as a leading star of the Korean wave, otherwise known as Hallyu.
Name
As the word for "rain" is different in many languages, he is known by a variety of names. In the West he is known by the English word Rain. In Korea he is known as 비(Bi) (pronounced as the letter B in English), Korean for "rain". In Japan, he is known as "Rain (ピ)", pronounced Pi in English. In China, he is sometimes referred to as Yu ("雨"), meaning "rain."
Biography
Rain became interested in R&B and Hiphop dancing when he was in 6th grade. He was a member of a boyband called Fanclub. After the group disbanded, Rain was still keen to continue his dancing career and entered many different auditions. Despite his talent, the singer was rejected at several auditions because he was "too ugly". In a CNN interview, he recalled one incident where he was told, "Your dancing is great, but we're rejecting you because you don't have double eyelids"[3] (the fold in the eyelids that makes eyes appear bigger, which many Asians do not have). Finally, Rain entered an audition for a Korean entertainment company, JYP Entertainment. Park Jin Young, JYP's CEO, became interested in the entertainer and took him under his wing. During the early years of training, Rain was a backdancer for both Park Ji Yoon and Park Jin Young, who is also known as JY Park.[4]
Finally, in 2002 he debuted with the album Rain, where he was introduced to the media through his stage or commercial name, Rain. In the album, a similarly-named single Bad Guy was a big hit. After his first album, he took time off from his career as a singer to star in the drama series, Sang Doo! Let's Go To School. Following the success of his debut as singer and actor, Rain released his second album How to Avoid The Sun, and had another hit with the title song "Ways to Avoid the Sun."
In 2004, he starred in another successful drama called "Full House", which would be one of the highest-rated Korean dramas of all time with ratings of over 30% for every episode.[4] It would air in many other countries including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China and Japan. Through Full House, Rain gained fans across Asia. His performance in the drama also won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards.
International recognition
His third album It's Raining sold over 1 million copies in Asia. According to a report by Rain's agency JYP Entertainment to the Korea Culture & Content Agency, It's Raining topped the charts in all of the following countries as of December 29th, 2005: Japan (100,000 copies), China (500,000 copies), Taiwan (70,000 copies), Thailand (150,000 copies), Indonesia (50,000 copies), and South Korea (154,000 copies), for a combined total of 1,074,000 units sold, making it Rain's most successful album to date both domestically and internationally.[5] His first concert, Rainy Day, held in Korea and Japan, was sold out the first day tickets became available.
In 2004, Rain earned greater recognition by winning the MTV Asia Grand Slam, securing top honors in all the Asian countries which broadcast MTV Asia. Rain won the Favorite Korean Artist at the 2005 MTV Asia Aid held in Bangkok, the Most Popular Asian Artist Award from Channel [V] Thailand, the Best Buzz Asia Award during the MTV Japan Video Music Awards 2005 (which he performed among world-famous artists as Ashanti and Hoobastank),[6] and the Best Korean Singer award in the MTV-CCTV Mandarin Music Honors in Beijing. Rain was also the first Asian performing artist ever to be invited to the 2005 American MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, as well as the 2005 MTV Latin Video Music Awards in Mexico. These accomplishments earned Rain a lot of media attention, including interviews with [[Time Magazine]] Asian Edition and CNN Talk Asia. Rain also won the Best Korean Singer Award 2005 at the Mandarin Music Honors in Taiwan.
Rain then went on his RAINY DAY 2005 Tour, starting in Seoul and followed by Tokyo and Hong Kong; due to his fame and his extravagant performances, tickets sold out quickly.[7] His first solo concert in Japan last summer, entitled Rainy Day Japan held at the Tokyo International Forum, was so popular that all the tickets were sold out thirty seconds after going on sale.[4] The tickets for another of his concerts in Taiwan were sold out the moment they became available also. His performances in Hong Kong also sold out in a couple of hours. Rain continues to set records in Asia. Now planning to go beyond Japan and Hong Kong, Rain will make a foray into China by giving a concert in Beijing.
Fame in the United States
In addition to Time magazine voting Rain the second most influential artist of 2006,[2] second only to Taiwanese director Ang Lee, the magazine also noted that Rain may collaborate in the future with P.Diddy. This came after reviewing Rain's performances in Madison Square Garden in February 2006. His two day concert, Rainy Day New York was marketed and promoted by the Asian concert production company Rainstone Live. Tickets were sold out within a matter of days.[8]
His Madison Square Garden concert featured a performance by his mentor and producer JY Park, with an opening performance by Lim Jeong Hee, also known as JLim in the States. Special guests who made stage appearances at the concert included American pop singer JoJo, R&B singer Omarion and hip-hop mogul P. Diddy.
There is also news that Rain will be recording a duet with Omarion, who used to be the vocalist of the popular hip-hop group, B2K, and had starred in the movie, You Got Served. When Rain's first movie, I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay, finished filming in early July 2006, he departed for the U.S. to discuss the possibility of singing the duet with Omarion, and to meet with the organizers of his Asian Tour. Rain apparently met Omarion through his producer, JY Park, who had written a song for Omarion's recent album. Also, after Rain's concert in February in New York - where Omarion danced to Rain's song "Bad Guy" - Omarion and Rain became friends, says JYP Entertainment. They also noted that the two may star in a movie together one day.[9]
The Omarion and Rain recorded a duet song, "Man Up," that was released on the European version of Omarion's album 21 as a bonus track. Unfortunately, this song has yet to be released in the U.S. due to contractual issues between several record labels.
Rain performed in two concert dates in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 23-24, 2006; the tickets to these concerts sold out within the first week of sales. The concerts were held at the Coliseum center at Caesars Palace.[10]
Rain's World Tour
Rain's highly-anticipated fourth album, Rain's World was released in Korea on October 14 2006 and internationally on the 16th. The first single was "I'm Coming", followed by the second single "In My Bed."
Rain has kicked off his Rain's Coming Tour on October 13 2006 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. This premiere of his tour was a free concert in which 40,000 fans have attended. Close to a fourth of the audience consisted of fans from other countries. Rain's Asian tour will incorporate the talents of producers and stage designers (such as Jamie King and Roy Bennett) who have been involved with the concert tours of famous artists such as Michael Jackson, Ricky Martin, Madonna, U2, Britney Spears, and The Rolling Stones. Ticket sales are expected to be over US$100 million.[11]

Must be nice to be that young again |
