Thanks to crh1s (who reposted this to our comments), we have a report from Rain’s visit to The Colbert Report studios yesterday. Read on below the cut (warning: mildly spoiler-y).
just found… i think it’s from RainUsa…
Yesterday, it was definitely a rainy day…
I arrived Colbert building at 1pm, it was a quiet street. I saw the door was opened and two camera men were sitting there. Then, I asked them if they came for filming Rain. They said “yes” and advised me to line up for stand by tickets if I wanted to watch the show. Then, they closed the door. I turned around and found a black “Excurion” across the street. Also, 2 teenager fans (one of them wore Rainy Day T-shirt) stood behind the car. I guessed Rain was here already. Suddenly, those 2 fans walked towards me. They were local NY chinese fans and we introduced to each other. One girl asked me if that car was Rain’s. I said “I believe so”. Few seconds, the door opened and Rain got off the car. He wore sunglasses, light color suit and tied up the hair. He walked slowly towards Colbert building. One fan screamed loud “Rain…Rain…I love you…Rain”. Rain looked at us and we waved to him. Of course, our prince looked so happy and waved back to us. Then he walked up the staircase and went inside the studio.
We, 3 Clouds, were still waiting in front of building. The weather was really bad and this may be the reason why Rain changed his schedule an hour early. This was Monday afternoon, many fans could not make it and probably would arrive later afternoon. Around 2:30pm, Jay and Mike arrived, they stayed with us 30 minutes and went to coffee break. Right after they left us, Rain walked out from studio. He made some phone calls. We looked at his back…oh! it was a perfect figure. Yes, he lost some weight but his shoulder was still strong. He took off the jacket and wore white T-shirt with dressed vest and pant with white sneakers. It’s cool
Around 3:30pm, Jay and Mike came back. Suddenly, Colbert’s staff jumped in front of us. They needed some fans’ shots for Rain and asked if we were okay to be “temporaily” stars…haaa….Certainly, I was there for Rain… We all okay for filming. Then, Jay and Mike held on the big poster as background, I and other 2 fans screamed and jumped up and down “I love Rain”….[so funny, hopefully, it came out nice...my funny face]
At 4pm, our portion was done. Rain has already stood in front of building and ready to leave. He walked down from building. I and other fans were screaming, “Rain…Rain..” He waved back with very very sweet happy smile. He had wonderful mood. Then, he jumped into the car. I walked towards his car. He rolled down the window. Those 2 fans gave me DVD and he signed for them. I got my autograph in Berlin and I wanted to shake hands with him. I said 소고하셨습니다 (English means “working hard, thanks”). He smiled.
Oh! Suddenly, there was a loud voice came from upstair. “Rain, bye” I looked up. Stephen Colbert was up there on the 3rd floor. Then, Rain looked up and screamed back “Bye, Stephen”…..haaa…
Then, Rain left with his staffs. One teenager fan cried after Rain left…it reminds me that Our Prince will leave us soon. He needed to fly to London for Speed Racer PR and will begin filming in Berlin for “Ninja Assassin”…
Missing you, Rain, our Ji Hoon…please take care!
Thanks again, crh1s!

Do you think Stephen was saying goodbye to Rain from the 3rd floor as part of the skit? I’m guessing so. Haha:)
This segment better run this week or I’m going to go crazy.

Thank you for posting this MSI. I enjoyed it very much.
Now that the Time 100 poll has officially closed, maybe the Rain segment will air soon….

The best would be if this turned into another 3-way showdown with Stephen, Rain, and Shigeru Miyamoto.

Totally agree with Gaia Faye. It should be on this week!

It would make sense for it to air tonight, since the contest ended today. But at the same time, they do have some leeway, so who knows, really. Well, obviously they know, but you know what I mean.

My friends are always struck by how I could like someone who is so “old,” but I feel there’s a boyish charm (for lack of a better term) and amazingly positive energy about Stephen that makes him seem younger than his years. I think his yelling goodbye to Rain from the third floor is a good example:) Also, he always seems so eager to learn or make mischief like a little kid…which probably makes him a great dad.
Anyone else know where I’m coming from?

awwww….I’m spazzing like hell.

My guess is that it won’t be aired before next week, because this week’s main guests are already scheduled.

@ auds:
Yah, but since they taped it ahead of time, Rain probably isn’t a main guest.

@ rebnej:
Yeah, I thought of that. You’d expect a main guest to be a live guest. :) Still, it’s hard to imagine that Rain wouldn’t be a main guest. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

But I don’t wanna wait!!! UGH!

Since live guests have already been scheduled, Colbert wouldn’t be able to have Rain on his show next week, since right after the recording, Rain had to go to Germany to begin the filming of his next movie. So, Colbert didn’t have any choice but to record the appearance last week.
It will be funny to see them challenge on Shigeru Miyamoto’s DDR. Hahaha!
Rain’s english is not that good. He understands british english more. I wonder how he will do either with his speech and with DDR… Can’t wait! Wiiiiiii !!!!
