RAIN in yet, another Press Mistake!

RAIN, IS THAT REALLY YOU?
ALLKPOP
By: jinny in a bottle


Imagine yourself in Rain's shoes right now: Your first debut in an American film (Speed Racer) is currently the laughing stock of all movies, and the "Engrish" you've studied oh-so-hard for completely failed you. Nothing else could go wrong, right?

Wrong! Celebrity magazine, People, tried to shed some light on the Korean singer-turned-actor by adding a interview with the 26-year-old in their latest issue, except the main picture of Rain is not really him. In fact, the picture was of Karl Yune (brother of Rick Yune) - both included in our Korean Presence Increasing in Hollywood article. What the hell was People Magazine thinking?

Is this People's mockery of saying that all Asians look alike? Or, is this People's hidden message that Rain was and always will be a nobody? You tell me.

First off, I am not a fan of Rain, and I didn't really mind the past mistakes made about his real name and his nationality (in 2 separate occassions). But somehow this time, I really feel sorry for him. Its like they're doing it on purpose.

This is the 3rd time, that Rain's been in a mix-up. At first, he was falsely introduced to the public with his character's name instead of his real name. Secondly, an online magazine made the mistake of calling him a Japanese instead of Korean, and now his picture is of somebody's? It seem funny, but I really feel sorry for him now. I mean wasn't it enough the second time?

Well, maybe its just another careless mistake?
