No Thanks! »

Korean R&B pop sensation, Rain, was on The Colbert Report earlier this week. The Michael Jackson of Asia was in LA for the promotion of his movie, ”Speed Racer” and decided to pay the funny man Stephen Colbert
a visit for a dance off. The segment was pre-taped due to Rain’s
limited English proficiency. This is how it started—In 2007, Time
magazine conducted an online poll of the 100 most influential people of
the year and Rain was number 1 while Stephen tailed him as the runner
up. Ever since then, Rain had become Stephen’s arch nemesis and the
comedian even joked about him and imitated a scene from his music
video. (You can download high quality clips of their performance after the jump.)

All I can say is, never underestimate the power of the Asian female
teens. There is no way that Rain’s fans are avid Times magazine
readers. They all probably got online to vote for their prince charming
once they got news of him being in the poll. It can be any poll, like
the best dressed celebrity list or the
who-do-you-want-to-sleep-with-the-most list, Rain can be assured that
he has the undying support of his fans who would spread the news on
their various fans’ websites and mobilized the whole nation of Rain
fans to vote for their idol. By the way, what is with all these Asian
female teens idolizing male performing artists who look like them!?
Remember the former Taiwanese pop group F4? I swear my sister was more butch than the four of them combined!

Speaking of Rain, he seems to be everywhere these days. Besides showing
up on “The Colbert Report”, he is starring in the movie “Speed Racer”
that is opening in the U.S. today. The pop sensation has also been
listed in the Year in Review 2007 of the Encyclopedia Britannica Online.
Apparently he is the third Korean to be included on this list after a
famous poet and a former president. I think that’s a tad ridiculous. At
the risk of having Rain’s female fans bombard this site with death
threats, I think his talent is overrated and he is not doing it for me
in any way. There, I finally said it! Now you can start sending me hate
notes!

haha i just recently saw this and sent it to all my friends that know who rain is. humor + hotness= win


My roommate and I saw this! I was cheezin like a school girl and cracking up at the same time. I did not believe Rain was going to be on the Cobert Report but when I saw Rain I got excited. smile


anyone know what sunglasses being worn by Colbert and Rain are called?

Haha I did. Did anyone notice he’s a pretty decent dancer?


Anyone notice colbert kinda has a gut?


omg the title is too perfect


lol idk his red pants were pretty hot raspberry

Good content needs to be shared. That’s our motto. So no thanks needed, enjoy =)


Awesome quality, thanks for posting!


So I’ve watched this like 20 times now, mostly on my iPod while I was traveling, so I do have a life. I have to say, this never gets old…


Haha first time seeing this. hilarious


Thanks for posting the videos and for making an iPod version!~


I think Rain would be more popular if he did.


Rain’s outfit is pretty hawt too ^^

I hope they do this battle again!


haha he is pretty hawt in those red pants


colbert was hotter than rain


You guys gotta give Colbert credit. He hung it there until mid-way through the DDR part. Rain had fricking fire coming out of his feet. You just can’t beat that…


Everything was scripted right? I wonder if there was any chance Colbert would’ve won the danceoff…


Is his English really that bad? I guess I’ll find out when I watch Speed Racer tonight. Anyway, I’ve never really got into KPOP but this “dance-off” really is priceless. Thanks for making an ipod version!


You really can’t discount the power of the Kpop factory that is the Korean music industry. Good, honest post. Kudos!

btw, the AVI version of the clips will work on both Macs and PCs.


I use to play DDR with my hands too when I get tired lol xDD


Colbert asked for this for over a year. This is what he gets raspberry


aww Rain is so kawaii~! He’s such a hot dancer ^^
