Korean singer Rain (Bi), who is approaching global stardom,
announced plans for his U.S. debut during a news conference in
Australia. The conference in Sydney preceded his concert tour in
the "land down under."
He mentioned the U.S. debut plans when asked what he thought about
being called the "Justin Timberlake of Asia." Rain said he's a fan
of the U.S. pop star and noted that the nickname was first
introduced by Time magazine when he made it on its list of the
world's 100 most influential people.
Rain noted that perhaps there was not a better way to introduce
himself at the time, but that the moniker will likely disappear
when he releases his first-ever English album for his official U.S.
debut late this year or early next year. Rain showed strong
confidence in announcing his plans.
Some 20 Australian and 40 Asian media outlets including reporters
from China, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia came for the
news conference, comprising the biggest media gathering involving
Rain since the star launched his world tour.
