   Rain in Speed Racer

Korean media is reporting Rain’s tentative plans for this year as if it will definitely happen, but we know better. Let’s see if Rain’s ambitious plans actually play out the way Magic Feet wants them to. Check out what he wants to accomplish this year.

Fan Meeting with Japanese Clouds on June 30th
Speed Racer will open in Japan on June 29th, so after the premiere, Rain will hold a fan meeting with 35,000 Clouds at Tokyo Dome on June 30th. And this event is gratis. How generous of Rain.

Fan Meeting with Korean Clouds sometime in July
Magic Feet’s Team is planning another mega fan event for the Korean Clouds after Rain completes filming "Ninja Assasin."

5th Album Release in October
The Asian Superstar is finally thinking of releasing an album this year, since his last album in 2006. According to J.Tune the dancing machine will concentrate on only recording and producing his album when he returns home in July.

Another acting gig end of the year
Details of this is not out yet, but it looks like Rain will participate in some local production after his album release.
On a second thought, considering that these plans are mostly for Korea, it could possibly work out, but what do you think?

            Super Junior is a Korean boy band which composes of 13 members but originally it has 12 pretty boys. At first I dislike them because it is somewhat messy to watch so many performers dancing and singing on the stage.  As I watch their other music videos and reality shows, I really appreciate their personality and I find them very cute. Despite of their numbers, each member is able to adjust and cooperate with their co-members in terms of performing well in their concerts and how they treat each other in every activity they are into. The group has ultimate passion in work and dedicates it to the fans. Their angelic face and cute smile really struck my heart. As long as Super Junior is there, I will be happy all my life. One of dreams in each milestone of my life is to meet them personally, that’s why I will try hard to go to South Korea (LOL: I will cross the ocean through swimming). Everything is possible as long as you work hard on it and dedicate yourself in whatever things that make you happy.

SUPER JUNIOR SARANGHAEYO!!!!!!
