What's The Latest With Bi
I've been taking it easy during the week-end not even going online to check on the latest with our man. Since I already blogged about Rain joining the screen quota protest last Saturday, I was expecting to see his photos upon going online but surprise, surprise..... no Bi in sight. So I checked on my fave Rain forums and Ranydrop kindly translated a news she found in baidu.com
"About today's protest march, Rain's agency JYPE has pointed out: Rain will not be participating. This is because Rain's first movie is still in the making. It's really a little inappropriate for him to appear as a movie actor. Also, many senior movie-makers will be participating. Rain feels that he has never participated in any activities as a movie actor before. To stand alongside these seniors and making a stand, Rain feels that it is inappropriate in terms of social etiquettes. Hence he has decided not to join the march."
I will take that explanation with a face value since it's reasonable enough. After all Cyborg is his first movie sotaking a stand this early can be interpreted negatively by some. But I'm also thinking that since he has plans of promoting himself in the US it would be unwise to be too vocal in protest actions against the screen quota cut. Just to refresh your memory, such action was taken by the korean government as part of their Free Trade Agreement with the US.
On other news, Rain will finish his shoot for the movie Cyborg on the 8th and will go to the States on July 15. During his scheduled 10 days stay, Bi and JYP will discuss about the new album and how to break into the US market. Bi will have collaboration with a famous TOP STAR, but no name has come up as of this time (just a wild guess ~ P. Diddy). I just hope he can also get some much needed rest while he's in the States because he looks worn-out in this photo taken from a japanese article.
