Rain appears in court personally to clear his name The sudden cancellation of a concert landed a Korean superstar in a fraud case. The concert organizer demanded through court for a compensation of US$40 million from the singer and his previous managing company. The hearing was held in Hawaii on Wednesday and Rain appeared in court to give his statement. Few days before his Hawaii concert on Jun 15, 2007, Rain suddenly announced that his concert will be canceled. The reason given then was that the stage design done by the organizer was not up to his expectations. The organizer, however, believed that the reason the concert was canceled was because Rain had terminated his contract with his then artiste management company JYP; they felt that finding an excuse to cancel the concert is an act of fraud. Though the case was previously trialed in Korea and Rain was found not guilty, the organizer felt that they had been interfered by Rain’s representing lawyer at that time and thus requested for him to be in court personally for the trial in Hawaii. The court hearing is currently ongoing till Mar 18. According to reports, Rain has also freed up early March to attend court personally, hopefully the court will clear his name and end the two-year case. Source: Yahoo News
Rain was at court today in Hawaii. People considered him disrespectful when he was entering the court, someone handed him paperwork, but he just let it dropped to the ground.
he didn't clear his name, Hawaii judge found him guilty. He needs to pay the promoter $8 million dollars
not surprised, seemed like he used as an excuse but then again that is hardly any money for him. i'm sure he earns a lot more and is prob glad that it is over now.
He need to pay $3 million and ex-manager JYP has to pay the rest $5.086 million dollars.That is HUGE for korean star coz they don’t make as much money as US stars do.Also there gonna be more law suits on is way but the good news is he getting some publicity in US.
