So Ji Sub & Song Sung Hun watching "JUMP"
Song Seung-heon and So Ji-sub were chummy chummy as seat buddies for the VIP screening of the new film, “Jump” (국가대표, 2009), directed by Kim Yong-hwa, on July 22nd at Samsung Coex Megabox Theater.
Starring “The Chaser” star Ha Jung-woo, the film chronicles the story of Korean Olympic ski jump team at the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998. “Jump” opens nationwide on July 29th.
Son Dam Bi& AfterSchool "AMOLED"
As was announced earlier, these girls will not be performing this song on any music broadcasting shows, which now makes absolute sense because this project is part of Son Dambi’s endorsement deal with Samsung. Just like Big Bang and 2NE1’s collaboration, “Lollipop,” the song “Amoled” is strictly for advertising purposes.
Son Dam Bi gets a lot of screen time, since this is her endorsement deal, not After School’s. Yet the girls get some time to shine, but mainly as glorified backup dancers.
Clazziquai's MV "We leave in OZ"
LG OZ mobile phone....Check out the making of the CF at http://www.ozgeneration.com/....
The MV for Clazziquai’s endorsement song, “We Live in Oz” is sweet and simple. Utilizing the page turning and moving pictures effect, the MV is filled with endorsement photos of Lee Yeon-hee, Kim Bum, Kim Ki-bum, Yoo Seung-hoo, Kim Min-ji, and Choi Ah-ra, as well as Ho-ran and Alex singing leisurely in an outdoor setting.
Rain joins Manchester United:
Popstar Rain joined the Manchester United team for a game of soccer at the Dream Match at Ban-po Hangang Citizen Park this past July 23rd. Rain attended this charity event as the new “Seoul Publicity Ambassador,” making this his first official promotional event as the new ambassador.
Rain started off coaching the children a few techniques of dribbling, shooting, pass, etc. alongside the Manchester United players at the soccer clinic.
Following the short soccer clinic, the popstar played a short twenty minute game with the young aspiring soccer players, leading his team to a victory game of 6 to 4. It’s great that Rain won the game, but who is that girl and why is dear Rain holding hands with her?!
Rain also attended the charity event that followed, donating T-shirts and sneakers with the Seoul logo he designed himself and also provided each Manchester United player a shirt as a gift. In addition, Rain presented a helfty donation of 680 million KRW members of his fan club, Cloud, donated for the event.
Rain launches RAIN TV
SK Broad & IPTV and pop star Rain are working hand in hand to bring fans a new channel entirely dedicated to Rain. Talk about being self absorbed.
SK Broad & IPTV and Rain actually have a history of working together previously on his fifth album, since “Rainism” comeback footage was released through “Broad & TV.” Due to the great response to their previous collaboration, the two are getting together again to create the first celebrity IPTV channel. Through the RAIN channel, Rain will release greetings, history, advertisement, behind-the-scenes, concerts, dramas, movies, still photos, trainee debuts, Rain as a designer, as well as the movies and dramas Rain starred in. So basically, you get a channel that gives you nothing but Rain coverage, all day every day. A representative of J. Tune Entertainment stated,
Since this is the first attempt at such a project, we feel a strong sense of responsibility but hope that through the Rain channel, we will be able to and will also strive to popularize personal artists channels such as this. Also, we will use this opportunity to work to extend our community with fans.
So, get ready all you Rain fans out there, the RAIN channel is scheduled to air sometime during the second week of August!

Rain's pictorial in the French Alps
Rain (real name Jun Ji Hoon) was recently in the French Alps for a fashion shoot for his clothing brand Six to Five. Rain and his crew photographed at Club Med in the South of France using the backdrop of the breathtaking French Alps. They also went to a place called the Savoy Chalet to take advantage of its traditional architecture, modern interior and elegant sophisticated feel. I am sure the European pictures will turn out great.
