Rain: One of “TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World”

Rain, our very own heartthrob no. 22 in Asian Heartthrob and currently competing in Group F of our poll, was named one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People by TIME magazine this year! It’s a big list that even Simon Cowell and Tom Cruise didn’t even made the list this time. Rain (Real name: Ji Hoon Jung) is the only Asian entertainer who made it and listed together with the likes of George Clooney, Tyra Banks, Reese Witherspoon and Angelina Jolie.

Time has chosen Rain from Asia’s diversed list of entertainers for three reasons: “angelic face, killer body and Justin Timber-like dance moves” that makes him very popular in Japan, China, Thailand and Hong Kong. He is also popular in Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines through his hit telenovela, or should i say koreanovela, “Full House”. He is currently working with his English album to be released in the US this fall.
