11-04-28 Chanee Vijay talked about Rain
Rain, a South Korean pop star and actor, has a huge fan following around the world and has been number one on the Time 100 list for past three years. However, not many Americans know who he is. This is exact reason why I was the only person at the Time 100 Gala to take and publish a fan photo with him {I believe}. I had only seen Rain once before when he appeared on the Colbert Report in a hilarious dance off. The man can dance, and obviously has a great sense of humor. He is smooth and very handsome!
This is a story about the power of influence and social media. When I tweeted this photo during the dinner, the image was immediately "retweeted" by Rain's loyal and attentive fans on Twitter. My phone vibrated for 20 minutes straight with notifications from Twitter as Rain's fans retweeted the photo my husband took of us - it was the first image of Rain at the gala to be tweeted. They were anxious for more information and asked me if I had talked to Rain.
So today, while I don't have any more clear photos of Rain to share {sorry}, I can share my perspective on meeting him and what I noticed about him during the cocktail reception. I have one more fuzzy photo of him standing in the dining room - see the last photo below.

Time 100 Gala: Rain
On Tuesday night I was lucky enough to attend the Time 100 Gala and dinner in NYC to celebrate Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. This post is number two of four. I took so many photos and met so many interesting and famous people, one post simply won't do.Rain, a South Korean pop star and actor, has a huge fan following around the world and has been number one on the Time 100 list for past three years.

Me and Rain at the Time 100 Gala in NYC
Rain arrived at the Time 100 Gala cocktail party fairly early. Once I noticed him, I wasted a lot of time wondering if it was in fact him. His hair was much shorter than when I saw him on the Colbert Show in 2008. I watched him as he spent most of his time with a friend moving about the room...table to table with his jewel-covered phone in hand. Once I saw his rhinestone-esque covered phone, I knew it had to be him. Then he vanished!
I spotted him again in the dining room on the second level standing with his friend drinking a glass of champagne before the dinner began. Rather than walking up the stairs to the third level dining area where our table was located, I walked over to Rain. I said," Hello, Rain. Could I get a photo with you?" He said, "Absolutely."
My husband quickly snapped the photo with my iPhone of me standing with the young and oh so suave, Rain. I promptly said, "Thank you so much, Rain! I really enjoyed your dance-off with Colbert. It was hilarious."
Rain said, "Oh, you saw that? Wonderful! That was a lot of fun."
That was it. I wish I would've spent more time chatting with Rain after we posed together but we rushed up the stairs to our table for dinner. Once I sent the tweet of the photo, his supportive fans were hungry for more photos of him and details about his time at the gala. I really tried my best to find him after the dinner but I didn't see him again.
I must say, in the few moments we spent together I was slightly enamored by his quiet charm. If I were fifteen years younger, I'm sure he would've made me swoon. His performance and dance style reminds me of Michael Jackson laced with the smooth, sex appeal of Usher. He's got IT, for sure.
So now the photo of me with Rain is scattered around the Web on Rain fan blogs and websites. His fans are asking "who is this Chanee Vijay?" The short answer? Just a lucky blogger {and new Rain fan} that was bold enough to ask for a photo with Rain.
Here are a few more shots of the red carpet and the venue...just for Rain fans.

[29-Apr-11][Daily Economy ]Rain
is mentioned in an interview with 'Chung Myung-whun' who is one of the
most famous conductors in the world.

Rain part-
Q : Do you happen to know Korea's trot music and famous singer?
(In this part, the reporter asked him if he knew the most famous singer in Korea, introducing *** called as a national singer)
A: 'Chung Myung-whun' said,
▶ I'm computer-illiterate. I don't even want to use it.
I'm not interested in how the world works.
I read only one English newspaper every day, I like to read the sports and comics.
My day-to-day life is very simple, so my music, family, and my children, have only been a huge part of my life for over 30 years. That's it.
What is the trot? I don't know the famous 'national singer' at all.
However, I know singer Rain.
His relentless practice and persistence is somewhere to the right of classic music.
Becoming the best of all does not happen just by itself.
