Rain's popularity is still number 1!
Recently, Rain has gone more and more into hiding, and the Clouds' pining for him deepens.
The yearnings will soon hit its peak
Miss him so much, especially the Bi on stage
1. News of the movie
As you all know, he is currently filming in Pusan.
Also, Director Pak who has been rejecting interviews finally accepted one from Cine21 (a very well-known movie magazine). The magazine did not publish any pictures of the filming site, only the photo of Director Pak
According to the reporter
Director Pak keep really lively photos of Rain and Im Soo Jung in his notebook and showed them to the journalist The Director Pak then was just like a proud father.
According to Director Pak
He's been meaning to film a story on cyborgs and mental institutions. Also, unlike in the past, he wants to work with younger actors/ actresses (The actors/ actresses he used to worked with were all in their 30s or 40s)
And he also said that the movie is about a love story, and it's a romantic comedy. The storyline is very fairy-tale like (kept emphasizing that it's the feel of a children's movie), so there's no sex scene.
He said, because there's no scene of Bi stripping the female crew members were all very disappointed. Also, working with young actors/ actresses makes him feel like he's returned to his childhood.
Through this interview, the names of the leads are finally revealed:
Jihoon's character is called Il-soon
Im Soo-jung's character is called Young-gun
Very unique feel to it
In Korea, Il-soon is usually the name of a woman (Eg, "My Name is called Kim San Soon")
And Youn-gun, which has a strong and soldier-like feel to it, is usually the name of a man
So the first time we heard the names, we couldn't help but laughed...
Very unique names that makes the anticipation stronger
Director Pak also said
When the script was still incomplete
he was considering quietly to make this feel like a children story (like a fairy-tale)
On a rare occasion, Rain came during the premier of Sympathy for Lady Vengence
At that time, Director Pak thought, "Why not?"
He used to worked with well-trained and experienced actors/ actresses with lots of personality
Now, he wants to work with an actor who is doing a movie for the first time.
(Someone with little acting knowldge but very talented)
According to sources, only 6 days of shooting, out of the planned 45 days of shooting has been completed
The movie will be screening in December...so looking forward!
2. Rain's popularity is still number 1
Let me relate a happy for "of-course" news to you
Remember my first post on Rain's popularity in Korea?
At that time, the news I gave you
(An artiste popularity chart that is published twice a year by an well-esteemed organisation)
The research company is called LPR, it is a company specialising in researching
Also, the report they research on every year is authoritative and fair
(Although the sample size is small, but data-collection is very strict)
Advertisers often refer to the results of this rsearch
So it is not an exaggeration that this chart is representative of an artiste's popularity in Korea
LPR concluded this research in end-March and released the results for first half of 2006.
Date: 25 Mar - 31 Mar
Target group: Male and female between 13 to 65 y.o. living in the 5 major cities of Korea. Sample group of 350
Actor:
Male - Jang Dong Gun (17.2%)
Female - Jun JiHyun (9.2%)
Singer:
Male – Rain (19%)
(Kim Jong Guk 6.6%, Tae Jin-A 4%, DBSK 3.8%, SgWannabe 3.8% etc)
Female – Lee Hyori (15.6%)
As you all know, Rain hasn't been active in Korea since 2005
However, his position in Korea is still the same
From 2004 till 2006, he is still in the first place
Moreover, the difference between the first and second place is really huge
As for S*ven, although he is still very active now, he is unable to make it into the charts
But the truth is in Korea, S*ven is still not Rain's match
I understand, all of you are a little doubtful of his popularity in Korea
But...in Korea, his fame is no longer constrained to the singer of "I do"
Children all the way to grannies all know and love him (as do my grandma)
Also, even members of parliaments like him (there was a report the other time)
They announced his achievements in Asia and the challenge of US in government public announcements.
Recently, in Korea, there is a mock stock market for artistes
and Rain was the first in the artiste category (valuation of the "stock" is based on popularity of the artiste)
It is said that because his contract with JYPE is expiring soon,
Even the real stock market (Entertainment sector) is also monitoring Rain closely.
One more good news
After Bi endorsed LG X-Note notebook, sales picked up tremendously
At the moment, seems like the sales figure will soon catch with Samsung sense notebook. So happy!
(Coincidentally, Samsung sense is now using Im Soo-Jung as a endorser)
All above content is true. I swear!
Will post again when there's more news!
