Colbert vs Rain

Last year, Time Magazine asked their readers to do an online poll of who they thought were the 100 most influential poeple in the world. Well, Stephen Colbert took a backseat to the #1 spot, which was given to the hottest pop singer in Korea (and possibly the rest of Asia): Rain or "Bi" (비) in Korean.

In retaliation, The Colbert Report (announced Repoire) made an R&B video of his own that mocks Rain's music video. Genious. Colbert's Korean is pretty good and hilarious.



Last month, Rain dropped by the studio to do a dance off to finally settle the score with Colbert. Watch the hilarity. "Hey Rain, let me know when Korea lifts the embargo on balls."



Here's the rest of the Rain rivalry videos.

For 2008's Time Magazine online poll, once again Rain has beat out Colbert. Haha. Who knows if Rain will be making a huge impact in the US. Although he is huge with Korean-Americans and other Asian Americans, he is widely unknown to others. He is currently in the new movie, 'Speed Racer' with Matthew Fox, but I believe his singing tour in the US has been put on hold due to legal infringement of his name in the US.
