Rain has trouble using Twitter

Remember when multi-entertainer Rain returned to the Twitter scene?



Since then, this famous star has accumulated over 70,000 followers. You’d think that with so many followers, Rain would be a god of Twitter. Recently, however, he posted a tweet that claimed he has trouble using the social medium.

On January 8th, the entertainer left an encouraging tweet for MBLAQ members with, “Hello! Everyone, we are finally showcasing the five eagle brothers MBLAQ’s 1st full album. Until now, these five children has done their best. You guys worked hard, my BLAQies. Let’s have some fun.”

Later on the 13th, Rain tweeted again, “Now that I am 30 I would like to change 29rain to 30rain but I don’t know how to do it ㅠ I’ve had Twitter for an year now and I still don’t know how to do anything…ㅠ”For reference, this tweet refers to Rain’s account name. His current account has the name ‘29rain’ because he was 29 years old, but now that an year has passed, he wants to alter it to the more appropriate ‘30rain’.

Netizens who read Rain’s tweets replied, “He was technologically inept. No wonder he did not post any picture, I was wondering why ㅠㅠ” and “Learn from MBLAQ oppas.”

TV series "The Fugitive Plan B" [KBS]

KBS TV series "The Fugitive Plan B" will go on air in Japan starting April this year.



CEO Ahn Hyung-soo of the production company of the show told Sports Today over the phone, "It has been decided that the show will begin its air in Japan. Starting April, 'Fugitive' will be broadcasted on So-net, a station affiliated with Sony Group". Ahn added they are currently in talks with other public networks in Japan as well.

In October, the distribution rights to "Fugitive" was sold to seven countries in Asia including Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

"The Fugitive Plan B", which has ended its run in December last year, is helmed by noted director Kwak Jeong-hwan and written by Cheon Seong-il, the creative duo behind the 2010 hit series "The Slave Hunters".

The action-comedy drama, starring Rain, Lee Na-young and Daniel Henney, is about a detective and his female client getting chased by cops and gangs as they get entangled in a case searching for gold that disappeared almost a century ago.

The 20-part series first scored viewership ratings in the 20 percent range when it aired on October 7 and has maintained its position at No. 2 on the Wednesday and Thursday primetime slot with ratings in the 13 to 15 percent range.
