K-popped! Passionate about Korean pop culture

'koreanbeacon' finally succeeded in inviting Bi for an interview?! Wahh, great~
Yeah, as he's in the 'Big Apple' now…

Rain's currently in New York, giving relay interviews to promote Ninja Assassin;
he'll also visit other major cities in the U.S and Canada.

I just got this video from a pal:

Rain appeared in
'Good Day New York', one of the most watched American morning shows on 'Fox TV' LIVE!

It's quite interesting~ ^^

091114 Rain's interview @ Good Day New York
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO4dcF9t3D4

the soju part at the end is endearing. And he looks like he's goofing around with his old friends, not a director who speaks an alien language that he needs to impress.

This clip is going into my favourites folder for sure

LOL, eonjehna, actually am looking forward to seeing 'New Moon', too – I'm gonna watch both films~!!

Although I'm busy, really wanna share this news..

Korean Gom TV will be televising the red carpet event on 23.

BUt I guess we could already check out some videos on youtube or from some kpop blogs/sites.

His 'official' superhuman training video for NInja Assassin will be also unveiled at the red carpet.

Wonder if Megan fox is invited, too (Korean fans are really curious…!).
If she would plant a kiss on Rain's cheek on the Red Carpet, GAME OVER – haha, it would really help promote the film, though.
(But Rain's fans will be maaad.)

Two of my fav photos of Rain:

Standing in front of humongous NA billboard in Times Square,
Bi's lookin' smart and super-cool! He said his childhood dream had come true…

Just wanna share this article from 'Forbes' (wow~!) with yo guys~

It's an amusing article on
how 'Ninja Assassin & Rain' are Hollywood's NEW SUCCESS FORMULA..

Heard that many other interesting flicks
such as 'Nine' (Daniel D. Lewis);
'Old Dog' (John Travolta & Robbin Williams) and
of course, explosively popular Twilight's sequel, 'New Moon' are gonna be released simultaneously next week in the U.S.

It'll be tough to top the box office, since Rain has to contend with those huuuuuuuge movie stars.

k-popped readers, go and see Ninja Assassin and support him;
if the movie would become a hit, it might open a new chapter in film industry.
We Asians gotta SUPPORT an Asian!^^

Enjoy your lunch and TGI Friday~*

>>But why is he rubbing James McTeigue's back? Or is that the chair??<<
Sharp observation, orchid, ha!^*

Korean people sorta pat on someone's back to show support, friendship and closeness,
which creates a special bond.
I think Rain has good people skills, which has been helpful in making friends with renowned Hollywood directors and producers. He's, like, occasionally inviting entire film crew to Korean barbecue/soju parties:)
