First Hawaii, where Rain will be dragged to court for 40 million USD in damages for a canceled concert, and now Los Angeles.
Not living up to the hype, Rain has once again paying for his mistakes. The “world star,” as the Korean press likes to call him, will be sued for another 30 million USD for canceling his concert in Los Angeles in 2007. As reported by TMZ.com, an Andrew Kim had the rights to the concert but lost out when Rain abruptly bailed out and left concert-goers scrambling to get their money back.
Not even Rain’s magic stick can save him now.
What next for the pop act? Probably on the hit list are remaining canceled concerts in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco of the same year.

Under
the Commission of Youth Protection, Big Bang’s 2nd album ‘Remember’ has
been labelled harmful for teenagers with the reason that the song
‘Strong Baby’ in the album contains inappropriate/suggestive lyrics.
From 6th March, Big Bang’s 2nd album ‘Remember’ will have the sticker ‘No Sales Allowed For Those Under 19′ labelled on the CD.
A YG Entertainment representative said, “We
did not arrange for a new recording for a clean version of the supposed
problematic song ‘Strong Baby’. We will just have to sell the CD with
the sticker label on.”
As to whether this order will
affect SeungRi’s solo activity, “This coming 1st March will be his last
performance, hence we see that there shouldn’t be any hindrance to his
solo activities.”
