Wow, I'm surprised that none of you wrote a topic of him (I would know, I've searched the entire forum for him). But anyways, let me fill in:

Rain, Jeong Ji-Hoon (born on 25 June 1982 in Seoul) is a male Korean R&B and pop singer. He has become well-known throughout East Asia as a leading star of the Korean wave: Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Thailand . He has been called the "Asian Usher" or the "Asian Justin Timberlake." In April 2006, Time magazine called him the world's second most influential entertainer.

Now I know a couple of you are from the east, and you might be familiar with this guy. He's one of my favorites and I'm hoping to buy his CD(english) when it reaches towards western shores.

My favorite songs so far are:

I do
Sad Tango
It's raining
How to escape the sun
Why

Oh and here's one of his music videos on youtube.

Yeah I've heard of Full House(not to be mistaken from the American "Full House"). I was thinking about searching for his episodes online. Now you can see some favorite clips on youtube.
