People Magazine Barely Restores Rains’ Identity

After confusing Rain with Karl Yune, People Magazine has given Rain what little identity he has in America, back.

As usual, Korean fans, in this case The Clouds, over-reacted and sent the publication thousands of angry e-mails. Although The Clouds feel they made a difference, they really didn't. People Magazine merely added a little snippet to their regular corrections list, which will be seen by very few.

It's sad to see that America still can't tell Asians apart, but Rain's failure of a debut in America via Speed Racer, doesn't really help the cause.

Rain is currently filming in Germany, for the upcoming Hollywood flick, Ninja Assassin.

I was really hesitant to go see SPEED RACER due to all these forums/bloggers saying how it basically sucked.. but honestly, I really liked it. It was a fun movie and I left the theater with a smile, and didn’t regret spending $8+ to watch it. if I really had to criticize, I think it was a bit too long for the kids to watch. but everyone else in the theater was laughing and enjoying it too.. so I didnt understand all the negative remarks that were posted.

The writer isn’t going to be the last one in the process of publishing the article. The writer isn’t responsible for the mistake.

No, the clouds didn’t force people to do anything.  When a magazine messes up, it’s brought to their attention and it’s corrected.  No biggie, happens all the time.

i don’t think Rain failed with Speed Racer..
His is not known in america, its like saying the
random carbage man in a movie failed, because the movie tanked…
granted he was supposedly one of the main characters, but nobody knows him, so wthey clearly didn’t go to see HIM… his success can nly be measured on how the movie does in Asia, because they will clearly go see the movie for him… ya know what I mean??

At least they corrected it. If he was a nobody and even if they were bombarded by Clouds, they wouldn’t care.
