Pop idol Rain arrives in HCMC Wednesday; shows not to be telecast
Asian pop superstar Rain will arrive in Ho Chi Minh City late Wednesday but his shows in the city will not be broadcast, an organizer revealed.
Nguyen Trong Ngoc, director of the local D&D Entertainment Company, one of the two organizers of the shows along with the Republic of Korea’s EnterOne Corp., said Rain would not go straight to his hotel upon arrival like in 2006, but instead meet his fans in the airport’s VIP area.
The R&B and pop singer and hip-hop dancer, also known as Bi, would hold a press conference and start rehearsals for the show Thursday. The two shows are at the next weekend.
Not only would they not be broadcast because their copyright had been sold, but also photographs of the star would only be allowed during his first three songs.
Ngoc also revealed that for the sake of the huge number of Rain’s fans, mostly students, the cheapest tickets would be sold at a discount of 30 percent minutes before the shows.
The stage is all set for the shows with the 50 tons of equipment in place.
Rain’s Vietnam performances are among 35 shows in the RAIN WORLD TOUR 06-07 in 11 countries and territories. The six-month world tour is expected to rake in over US$100 million.
