Rain (26) must be having the time of his life...jet setting around the world promoting his Hollywood debut movie, Speed Racer. There are so many pictures of him circling around the Internet. He was in Seoul, he was in Hong Kong, Los Angeles...then New York! He has met with delighted fans, been interviewed (more on this soon) and attended the premiere screening in Los Angeles. Phew, i can barely keep up.Bi strikes a pose at the LApremiere of Speed RacerI would bet this would be one of the most important times of his career. But his moment in the spotlight was dampened by the fact that they introduced him as Taejo Togokhan (his name in the movie) instead of his real name, Jung Ji-hoon or Rain.Anyway, Rain has decided to keep his hair long for his "world wide" debut. Personally, i would prefer any one of his spunkier, shorter hair styles in the past. Why did he decide on the long hair?Here are also some recent pics of Bi. Those look a lot like ajumma curls to me.Related:Speed Racer Pr...

Korean actor Choi Min-soo (pic) gave in to road rage and beat up a 73-year-old man!It all started during a traffic jam in the Itaewon area in Seoul. The 46-year-old actor was cussing when the old man named Yoo reprimanded Choi for doing so.Choi then punched the septuagenarian several times and tried to make a getaway when people recognised him.The spunky Yoo wouldn't let him go without a fight, so he stood in front of the car to stop the actor from leaving the scene.Choi didn't care and stomped onto the accelerator and drove for about 200 meters with Yoo hanging onto the hood.

C.I. Entertainment, where art thou?
2008-04-25 04:51:00
Dear Paul, and everyone else who have been affected by the cancellation of the F.T. Island concert,I know you guys are all fuming because of the many empty promises by local organiser, C.I. Entertainment (CIE). Here's a little bit of info K-popped! got after a little digging around.A source from CIE said that no directive has been given from the Board of Directors on the refund. I guess they are still working on it. For one thing, refunding such a huge amount of money takes a lot of paper work and time.Like Orchid mentioned before, we bought tickets to David Copperfield's performance in Malaysia, which was cancelled. We had to wait FOUR months before we received our refund. It takes time.Money back: 'Hey CI, give our fans theirmoney back, will you?'The problem with CIE is that they have been rash in making announcements. It displays inexperience on their part. I really couldn't believe it when they wanted to conduct the refund exercise the following week after the cancellation....

The Korean star appeared to the South Korean press yesterday. He has noticeably slimmed down for his role in Ninja Assassin (yeah, without the "s" as reported at Collider.com after a reporter's chat with producer Joel Silver!), but that layered hairstyle makes him look too feminine.I guess it's a lose-lose situation with that rug on his head.

Except we don't get to view DWTS here on Malaysian TV. :-(Here's some info about the show. Twelve celebrities (six men and six women) will be paired up with professional dancers and they will attempt to outshine one another on the dance floor each week. They would be assigned dances like the cha cha, foxtrot, jive, mambo, paso doble, waltz, tango etc.Viewers get to vote via sms for their favourite couple.

Yoo Ye-eun, the blind piano prodigy

Here?s a touching and inspiring story for all our readers. Blind since birth, 5-year-old Yoo Ye-eun appeared on Star King ? a Korean talent competition show ? in March 2007. The little angel has not received any formal piano lessons, but has the gift to play-by-ear after listening to a song once. She started tinkling the ivories when she was three, after listening to her Mother sing. Since then, she has only been ?learning? music through the computer. Yoo Ye-eun?s performance during Star King (hit the video to watch) left many teary-eyed as she deftly moved her fingers over the piano keys, and amazingly hit the right notes ? all this without the sense of sight! It is also revealed that Ye-eun is an adoptee. Oh, she sings AND plays the piano at the same time too! Now, how?s that for talent?Video from Coolsmurf
