Singer Rain'll appear on the stage in America after 3 years.

Rain is to hold his Asia Tour Concert, 'Legend of Rainism', at Coliseum inside of Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas for both days of December 24th and 25th.


He's come to hold a Christmas concert in 3 years in that location where he held his 'Rains' Coming 06/07 World Tour in Las Vegas' in 2006. He was the first Korea's singer to hold his own concert at Coliseum of Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, and it drew audiences totaling more than 8,000 people for two days.

Caesars Palace Hotel is best known as the site to bring the concert of the world's singers such as Celine Dion or Elton John, etc. This concert will be held as part of Rain's Asia Tour Concert which is currently under way starting with it at Saitama Super Arena in Japan last August, and he already held his concert in Japan and in Korea and will hold it in Hong Kong and in Jakarta, Indonesia, by the end of this year.

Rain held his single concert in Las Vegas in February, 2006, after holding it at the Madison Square Garden of New York City in the same year. This concert has a deeper meaning in that he's come to hold his concert for the first time since his every concert was continuingly canceled in LA, Hawaii, etc. during the 'World Tour Concert'.

In particular, holding the concert in Las Vegas a month after the release of his first hollywood leading movie Ninja Assassin, can exert a good influence on his future activities.

Meanwhile, Rain'll promote Ninja Assassin, ahead of the worldwide release, participating in a huge advance screening of journalists in the Asia region and meeting the press with the media in Asia.

Rain is going to leave for America in the middle of November just before the release, and to promote the movie, going around big cities, New York, LA, etc.

~~ i really want to watch.. but i dunno... i dont want to spend my christmas on sin city..

but i doo really want to watch..... anyways am still hoping that there will be a red carpet premier of Ninja Assassin here in LA. and i HOPE!! ... or WISH! that Lee Joon would attend! ---- keeping my fingers crossed!

Lee Joon of MBLAQ said that “he thought he was going to die from all the action training” for the Hollywood movie ‘Ninja Assassin’.

Lee Joon played the younger version of Rain. He came back from Berlin after filming in May 2007 and the movie is being released on the 26th November.

“After passing the auditions, I went to an action school in Korea. Then I went to Germany with Rain in order to receive further training. For a month and half, I trained for 8 hours and I thought I was going to die.”

“The staff there were the best of the best. The stunt team had worked for Jackie Chan before. So I wanted to show my best. Thankfully, everyone said that I was better than they expected so I was motivated. I started training at 8 in the morning until late in the night.”

From the high degree of training, he has wounds of honour (?). “When it rains, my body knows first.”

“But when after seeing the film, I felt that all my hard work paid off.”

“I think that the movie ‘Ninja Assassin’ will be able to receive love from everyone. The martial arts scenes are high in quality compared to other movies, but that’s just my opinion.”

“I still can’t believe that I got to star in a movie as big as ‘Ninja Assassin’. Because I had to play an orphan, I was confused on how to act, but it came out better than I expected so I’m satisfied.”

~ oooh i cant wait to see Lee Joon on the Big Screen!!!

[news] MBLAQ’s Lee Joon talks about acting in Ninja Assasin

It has only been about two weeks since Rain's first boy band, MBLAQ debuted. They're currently rockin' the kpop scene & have no trouble with popularity & recognition, which is only to be expected as the world star as their producer. Many of you have probably heard of Rain's new Hollywood movie Ninja Assassin, which has been discussed for quite a while now. It was also confirmed that Lee Joon, a vocalist in MBLAQ, also played a role in the movie as the younger version of Raizo (Rain's character).

Lee Joon had auditioned for the movie back in February, when he was a trainee. He stated, "I sent a PR demo tape of my acting to the agency that was promoting Ninja Assassin. I didn't expect to get accepted at all, but I found out that I passed the auditions! After I got the message, I went to Germany right after. The filming was two months long, and I had to film many action scenes and had to speak in English. I acted as the younger counterpart of Ji-hoon-hyung's (Rain) character. I worked [very] hard filming this movie and you guys will be surprised."

Ninja Assassin will be a kick-ass movie. It's already gotten positive reviews from critics and fans who've seen the sneak peak of the movie, and has lots of action and gore. The movie will be out Nov. 26th worldwide.
