Rain
The Magic Feet from Korea
By BRYAN WALSH
Rain is big—big!—in Japan. The South Korean king of pop also fills seats in Beijing, Pusan and Bangkok. In Hong Kong his concerts sell out in 10 minutes, and across much of Asia, fans snap up pirated videos of his soap operas. Thanks to his angelic face, killer bod and Justin Timber— like dance moves, Rain, 23, has ridden the crest of hallyu, or the Korean wave, the Asia-wide obsession for that country's pop culture. But the ambition that lifted Rain (real name: Ji Hoon Jung) out of a one-room house in Seoul won't be sated by simply conquering the biggest continent on earth. Rain is looking east to the U.S., studying English day and night. He sold out two shows at Madison Square Garden's smaller venue in February, and that could be just a few drops of the deluge that some think will follow the release of his English-language debut album this fall. Yet even if Rain, whose style virtually clones American pop, fails to make it in the U.S., the trend he represents is here to stay. Rain is the face—and well-muscled torso—of pop globalism. Before he visited the U.S., Rain already had a fan base, thanks to Internet music sites, satellite TV and DVDs of his soap operas. Those are the same media that make it easier than ever for growing numbers of Americans to get their fix of Japanese anime, Hollywood films and Korean music—and vice versa. Pop culture no longer moves simply in a single direction, from the West to the rest of the world. Instead, it's a global swirl, no more constrained by borders than the weather. Rain, after all, falls on everyone.

RAIN
The Magic Feet from Korea
来自南韩的魔幻舞步
By BRYAN WALSH
在日本,雨势正惊人!
这位南韩的流行天王让北京、釜山以及曼谷的演唱会座无虚席。在香港,他的演唱会门票在十分钟内售罄,而在整个亚洲,他的粉丝正疯狂抢著下载他所主演的电视剧。得天独厚的天使脸孔魔鬼身材,以及拥有像贾斯汀般的舞技,23岁的RAIN已经攀上了让全亚洲向往的韩流文化的顶峰。然而首尔这间小套房再也关不住RAIN(本名:郑智薰)攻克这个世界最大洲的欲望。RAIN站稳亚洲准备进军美国,正日夜学习英文。今年二月,他在麦迪逊花园广场的两场演唱会门票销售一空,而这样的成就,仅能算是雨季来临前的零星细雨,等到今年秋天,他的英文专辑正式发行,势必将带来一波暴雨狂潮。然而即使RAIN的音乐型态植基於美国的流行文化,多少削弱了他可能在美国造成的影响力。但是RAIN有著一张见容於娱乐全球化的脸孔以及雕像般的身材。在他拜访美国之前,得利於网路上的音乐网站、卫星电视以及DVD,使他主演的电视剧,让他拥有个稳固的粉丝基础。而这些相同的媒体通路也曾经造就了日本动漫画、好莱坞电影以及韩国音乐等等的流行。流行文化不再仅仅只是单向的从西方往东方世界流通,而是一种全球化的互动旋转,不再局限於国境,就像气候一样。
这场雨,终究会降临在每个人的身上
