Rain Bi Kpop Korean Music
One of America's most popular comedians, Stephen Colbert, is fighting Korean singer-turned-actor Rain, for his number one spot on the Time "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World" poll.

Last year, the 43-year-old comedian, who is best known for his show "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central, made a parody video of Rain's music video "How to Avoid the Sun," after he found out that the singer was named "the most influential" person of 2007.

Although this year's online poll has already been open to the public to vote, the rivals are just beginning their face off.

"I will not have this Korean war end like the last one... with a sitcom starring Alan Alda," Colbert said on his show April 23.

On the show, Colbert also showed a video clip of Rain "trash talking" him in an interview with Time.

"I saw your Korean pop video on your show, and I have to say you look almost as good as me," Rain, 25, said. "But, as for the singing, lets just say... please don't quit your day job."

Colbert responded by saying that his day job was being the president of his hate club, and that he would like to have Rain come on his show for a dance off.

Well, I'm not too sure who I side with in the dance competition, but.. I do know that while these two are going at it with each other (playfully, of course), Shigeru Miyamoto, a video-game designer, is topping both of them with 1,747,213 votes. I think it's time for Colbert and Rain to hold each other's hands and tag team Miyamoto to claim number one.

On a side note, Rain left The Colbert Report studio today at around 4:00 pm after shooting. There's a chance that his segment may air tonight at 11:30pm EST on Comedy Central.

“I saw your Korean pop video on your show, and I have to say you look almost as good as me,” Rain, 25, said. “But, as for the singing, lets just say… please don’t quit your day job.”

I seriously thought that “how to *avoid* the sun” was a parody of the “how to” culture XDDD

What Colbert should say to Rain is “don’t quit speaking Korean because your English SUCKS”...lol
WTF? Is Rain doing wearing shades in a pretty dimmed room? does he think he is all that? Please take the shades off next time you look like an idiot.
Any who I wanna watch the “dance off”

I started watching the show a little late, and I kinda ended it six minutes before it was supposed to end… but, I didn’t see Rain on the show.  Maybe it’ll be on tomorrow night?  Not sure.

Or maybe I missed the dance off… once again, not sure -_-

If anyone knows, please do tell how it went.  And when there’s a video clip available, I’ll make sure the article gets updated with it!  smile

@marmar, as far as wearing shades it reminds me of how poker players wear shades to hide thier eyes so you can’t tell thier bluffing.  I think rain was doing it to make himself feel confident. 

I can’t wait for the dance off.

he wasn’t on last night.
also, i’m pretty sure he’s not making a live appearance, all he did was record at the studio (yesterday), so most likely it’s just going to be a pre-recorded segment.

I think the only way that this would help Bi’s career is if his English was better. Sadly it’s not, so I don’t think the American culture is going to warm up to him. His poor English skills are really holding him back.

Did he really say that?  His English is too poor to put together those words.

His hair makes him look as if he’ll fly away.

^lol...I don’t hate him...but I don’t like him either...not even a .0000001%...but i love Colbert....ahehe…

Shigeru Miyamoto deserves it more than the two, I think....

and rain shouldn’t even speak in English…

and true

Colbert’s Korean > Rain’s English…

maybe it’s a bit nit-picky but stephen colbert’s name is misspelled in the post.  why is that? 
also - the colbert show isn’t aired live.  all of it is recorded the day of, the tape is aired at 11:30.

LMAO.
What’s with his HAIR?!
I think something rained on his fashion consultant.
Oh god..that was lame.
Haha, but Colbert is hilarious.
I winced at Rain’s Engrish..but he’ll improve...we hope.
My question is, how did Rain get to the top of that?!
There must’ve been a hell a lot of Engl(r)ish speaking Rain-fanboys/fangirls/fanits.
Jesus, fans scare me.
Almost half a million votes, too.

Um, Does anyone know if it will show again? I had to go to my family friend’s house to throw a “happy-late-birthday” party for my dad so I missed it. T.T *crosses finger that it’ll show again* DX
And if it does show again can someone tell me when? Thank you. ^_^; (Yeeeaahh… I don’t usually watch Comedy Central. I’m such a n00b… .__.)
