Hee! Rain was interviewed about his upcoming movie, Ninja Assassin, at the recent San Diego ComicCon (via Ain’t It Cool News), and he answered a few questions about The Colbert Report:
Rain’s interview with “Ain’t It Cool News” at Comic Con
Wednesday, July 30, 2008Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the short chat I had with South Korean pop sensation Rain about his starring role in James McTeigue’s V FOR VENDETTA follow-up NINJA ASSASSIN.
. . .
Quint: Strangely enough, it’s like I know you from COLBERT REPORT.
Rain: Oh yeah!
Quint: COLBERT is like where I first heard about you.
Rain: It’s very funny, you know one day he asked me to attend his show. I said “Of course, why not?” I went to his show and it was very funny. Did you see that?
Quint: The dance off?
Rain: It’s really funny, you know.
Quint: I loved it there. I hope that continues. I hope there is still the rivalry.
Rain: He’s my brother now.
Quint: I like that onscreen though there is still the rivalry. It’s very tongue in cheek, but I loved that. Your dance off with him was probably one of the funniest things I have seen on the show and his show is damn funny anyway…
Rain: Oh yeah!. . .
Awww, that’s really quite cute that Rain thinks of Stephen as his “brother” now. If you want to watch the highlight reel of the entire Stephen vs. Rain rivalry, you can do it here.
As for me, I’m going back to the segment that started it all, the segment in which Stephen first challenged this “Seoul-singer”: He’s Singin’ In Korean — To prove he’s more influential than Korean pop star Rain, Stephen made his own Korean pop video.

as korean i know that calling someone ‘brother’ can either mean admiration, respect or affection toward that person; as well as a sign of friendship… anyway my parents will know better…

It’s so great Rain went along with the Dance Off, which I still have on my DVR and will NEVER delete! Just for old time’s sake…

I love it that Rain finds the dance off segment so funny and that he says Stephen is his brother now. It was great when he played along with the joke but this makes it even better.
I still watch the Rain related videos regularly. “Singin’ in Korean” and the dance off NEVER get old.

What a fun interview. And Singin’ in Korean is never not great. Thanks for putting it up for me before I go to bed.
