Imagine yourself in Rain's shoes right now: Your first debut in an American film (Speed Racer Failure) is currently the laughing stock of all movies, and the "Engrish" you've studied oh-so-hard for completely failed you. Nothing else could go wrong, right? Wrong! Celebrity magazine, People, tried to shed some light on the Korean singer-turned-actor by adding a interview with the 26-year-old in their latest issue, except the main picture of Rain is not really him. In fact, the picture was of Karl Yune (brother of Rick Yune) - both included in our Korean Presence Increasing in Hollywood article.

What the hell was People Magazine thinking? Is this People's mockery of saying that all Asians look alike? Or, is this People's hidden message that Rain was and always will be a nobody? You tell me.

No, that’s their way of saying he’s a nobody.

I mean, if I never saw Rain’s face… and didn’t know how he really looked like.  I would’ve thought him and Karl Yune looked alike too.  raspberry But still, it was a real bad mistake… and, I wonder what they’re excuse is going to be.

Hahahahaha, I’m sorry but I just had to laugh.  How could they make that mistake?  It’s bad enough that Speed Racer is a dismal failure now people can’t even tell what Rain really looks like.  It’s too funny and sad at the same time.  I can’t imagine how his fans might react since they were highly offended when some newspaper labeled him as Japanese and not Korean. 

On another note, yay for Iron Man topping the box office for the second time.

Okay, this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
It was bound to happen.
My god, hilarious.
It just proves that Rain isn’t ready for the US yet.

“...every day for two hours.” Really?
Shouldn’t you be working on English for longer than that
if you expect to improve?

LMAO!
I wonder if People Mag will apologize, or if they’ll just leave it be.
I get the “ALL ASIANS LOOK THE SAME!!11!!!” all the time.
D:<
I beg to differ.
You can’t argue with a retard though, they always use the same line over and over again.
Rain and that dude look alike?
I don’t think Rain is super hot, but Rain looks better than this guy.

omg! wow they really need some people with eyes or who can tell the difference b/w Asians >.< I remember once they also did this with Daniel Henney’s picture, saying it was “Edison Chen” LOL

Gosh...many people read this magazine at the checkout counters in grocery stores and will see Rain for the first time.  But it’s not really Rain!!! It’s some funny looking guy instead. LOL...so saaaaaad.

Where are the Korean netizens when you need them?
They should at least flood People magazine’s mailbox with hate mails by now. I want some drama.

For all the times that Korean-American Association retaliated against the ‘incorrect portrayal of Asian-Americans’ at things that were actually TRUE; I sure hope they will roar uninhibitedly for the RIGHT reason this time and chew People to bits!!! Because this is just unforgivable!!! Poor Rain…

wtf? did they just copy paste the first asian that came to mind? for fuck’s sake rain IS a big star in asia, not some unknown, so it wouldnt be hard to find a pic of him!! and its not like they have many asian celebrities to confuse him with!! way to propagate the ‘all asians look the same’ mentality assholes…

People magazine must pay, how could they crew up like that.  And i don’t think speed racer is a failure it was number 2 at the box office.

Woah! I feel sorry for Rain.  This is so unfair, intentianlly or not.  He has been working his butt off, and I laughed at him before because I’m not his fan.  But this is not his fault.  Why does he become a laughing stock for this incident? T-T poor rain.
