That's a tough issue...

As a Asian star Rain does very well. Even if he's not that handsome and talented, he really had the guts to enter Asian music industry and even TV, and we have to admit, that til now he's doing a great job.

But USA, and all the western showbiz doesn't accept Asian stars... They prefer to stick to what they have. They tolerate some Asian actors because they fight very well and Kung-fu/Karate/acion type movies are selling very well. And there was Bruce Lee who made the entrance and prepared west for Asian actors. But in music? There haven't been (or maybe I don't know about it) any Asian musician/performer who succed in the west. That's why none of the Asian singers can do well in the west. So I would suggest that Asian artists stay in Asia, unless they are 190% sure they'll be a hit... It will be better for them and us.
