1 yuna June 20, 2009 at 3:07 pm: She’s also said she digs Angelina Jolie since then, so unless Rain is into a threesome with two lippy bi’s..
2 Arghaeri June 20, 2009 at 3:38 pm: and this is not good because?
3 Robert Koehler June 20, 2009 at 3:42 pm: so unless Rain is into a threesome with two lippy bi’s…

“Unless”?
4 gbnhj June 20, 2009 at 3:50 pm: I just came back from being, like, out with The People, being sort of normal and socializing, and I realized how much I love The Marmot’s Hole. I do – I mean I completely, 100% do. (That’s not necessarily how you know you love some blog, but I think it’s completely possible to love some blog that much, and, uh, I think anyone who can find that kind of love is extremely lucky).

So, to everyone here, ‘Sah Rahng Hey Yo’.
5 gbevers June 20, 2009 at 4:19 pm: We did not hear the questions asked her, but I think most us who have seen Korean interviews with foreign celebrities, especially female celebrities, can guess what many of the questions were. For example, who first mentioned the nickname “Korea’s Justin Timberlake,” Megan or the interviewer?

By the way, do we all have Korean clones? I wonder who “Korea’s Gerry Bevers” is, but I do not want to read any smartass suggestions from the Marmot’s readers.
6 Sperwer June 20, 2009 at 6:28 pm: WTF is Megan Fox?

Never mind, I don’t care.
7 cm June 20, 2009 at 7:31 pm: Gbevers, I think this whole thing came about when this actress Fox said it on an interview with an Australian radio station that she wouldn’t mind dating Korea’s Justin Timberlain, Rain. The question to her was, “are there anyone that you would like to date at this moment”.
8 seoulfood123 June 20, 2009 at 8:04 pm: Hey listen, props to Rain. He’s a stud. And he’s the first Korean guy who has had the balls to put it out there that he is attracted to a hot foreign woman. And that’s what ALL women like: confidence. Maybe they will date, that would be brilliant. Mainly because then maybe we can get beyond the whiny Korean male attitude that all foreign women don’t like them. And then.. finally… maybe they won’t be so whiny when Korean women date foreign guys.

But here’s the universal principle: hot women of every race are attracted to hot guys of every race. Bi is hot. Fox is hot. Why would they not be attracted to eachother.

In the end, who cares who goes out with who? If there is attraction, why not?

Go for it, Bi, you stud-horse…
9 cm June 20, 2009 at 8:31 pm: Who said Bi was attracted to Fox? LOL. His name has been bandied about everywhere, but he hasn’t said anything about Fox or her comments. lol.
10 John from Daejeon June 20, 2009 at 10:19 pm: She wasn’t one of those foreigners recently busted for pot was she? I hear she’s a big backer of marijuana.

Personally, I like my women to be less ink stained like this fine actress who just so happens to speak to my inner geek:

Haha. Um, yeah. Bi said it you dumbass.

“LOL.”

12 cm June 21, 2009 at 12:15 am: LOL.
13 NetizenKim June 21, 2009 at 2:57 am: I’m currently what you would call single…….Oh I don’t know. There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain and I’m really on his situation now. I’m trying to fix this up. I’m working hard.”

Then I sensed a disturbance in the Force….as if the voices of millions of white guys reading this in their latest copy of Maxim cried out in disappointment and were suddenly silenced.
14 seoulfood123 June 21, 2009 at 6:20 am: Haha. Netizen Kim — You’re so classic in your tortured insecurity! It’s actually really entertaining.

But look, I have no problem at all with Korean guys dating hot white women, unlike you, who breaks out in hives if white men date hot Asian women. Of course, there are some asshole racist white guys who will say shit about it. Who cares about them?

So I have a theory Net Kim: you’re a goofy, feminine Asian guy and that’s why your pissed at white men dating women you couldn’t get. But you see, Bi is much different than you — he’s a confident, good-looking Korean guy who has the ability to actually date a hot white woman, mate. He puts it out there. He’s got cahones. Any woman is going to respond to that. And he knows it.

I respect the guy, and I wish him the very best if he does date Fox. I think it would be great.
15 gbevers June 21, 2009 at 8:18 am: CM,

It sounds to me like it was Rain who first mentioned liking Megan Fox, and it was Korean interviewers, following up what Rain had said, who first referred to him as “Korea’s Justine Timberlake.” In fact, Koreans have been referring to Rain as Korea’s Justine Timberlake for the past couple of years, I think.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that Koreans love to hear that their actors and entertainers are also liked by foreigners and almost always ask such questions in interviews with foreign celebrities.

When people are trying to promote their movie in a foreign country, they generally tend to try to kiss up to the people of that country in interviews, and I think that is what Megan Fox was doing. Megan Fox may not throw Rain out of bed, but I do not think she lies in bed at night dreaming of him.

By the way, I used to know a Korean girl who claims she slept with the “Six Million Dollar Man.”
16 cm June 21, 2009 at 11:11 am: What’s with the insecurity, gbevers? lol.
17 cm June 21, 2009 at 11:32 am: By the way, here’s her interview on the Kyle and Jackie O show.

Is Uwe Boll helping you with post titles now?

(sorry, love this guy!)
19 gbevers June 21, 2009 at 12:55 pm: CM (#16),

I think you are the insecure one because you are the one who seems to praying for Rain. However, I hope you realize that even if Rain does hook up with Megan, you are not going to get any bigger.

The interview with Kyle and Jackie O happened the day after the Korean interview, when Megan was told that “Korea’s Justin Timberlake” liked her, which she seemed to play along with. In the Kyle and Jackie O interview the next day, Megan was asked who she was going to date next, a question she thought was silly. That is when she mentioned “Korea’s Justin Timberlake, Rain.” If you think she was serious, fine, but you are still not going to get any bigger.

Also, prior to the Korean interview with Megan, Rain had already said in two separate interviews that he liked Megan because she was sexy, which, apparently, was something you did not know about since above you wrote, “he hasn’t said anything about Fox….”

Anyway, as I guessed above, it was the Korean interviewer, not Megan, who first referred to Rain as Korea’s Justin Timberlake.
20 Arghaeri June 21, 2009 at 1:18 pm: I have no problem at all with Korean guys dating hot white women, or even if they’re not up to that Megan Fox
21 Mizar5 June 21, 2009 at 1:46 pm: Sperwer:WTF is Megan Fox?

Never heard of Megan Fox myself. But it’s pretty obvious from the video that she wasn’t exactly sure who Rain was either. However, my question is who put the idea in her head that Rain is the Korean Justin Timberlake? I don’t really see the resemblence, and I seem to recall that when he failed in the states there were comments to the effect that he appeared to be copying a very dated Michael Jackson.
22 babotaengi June 21, 2009 at 1:58 pm: Wow, way to give credence to NetizenKim’s idiotic beliefs, gbevers. Seriously, who fucking cares who so and so the celebrity wants to date or what the fuck reporters are putting in her mouth (^.^) ?
23 ziffel June 21, 2009 at 5:16 pm: If I just heard the audio of that interview, I would swear she was a bleach blonde.

Kept waiting for her to say “world peace.”
24 Queens Guy June 21, 2009 at 10:58 pm: gbevers wouldn’t mind if Fox wants to date a Japanese man. Anyway, gbevers has demonstrated that he is a bitter, angry, jealous, lonely, Japanese AV loving old man. That’s the cause of all the troubles he’s been making.
25 cm June 21, 2009 at 11:47 pm: LOL @ Gerry Bevers. Wow, you actually spent all that time to write that long of a response over this? lol. I can see blew your top, black smoke coming out of your chimney.

Go Rain! Make Gerry angry. lol.
26 theotherkorean June 22, 2009 at 3:41 pm: So, Megan Fox wants to go out with Rain, big deal. It’s not like you’ll see the Korean media stop hooking up Korean celebs with US celebs, in a who likes who or who’s wanting to date who scheme.

Now imagine what’ll happen when Megan Fox says she wants to MARRY Rain.
27 WangKon936 June 22, 2009 at 4:36 pm: Where is NK is this discussion?
28 Linkd June 22, 2009 at 5:26 pm: He probably feels crowded out by all your commenting these days.
29 Arghaeri June 22, 2009 at 8:27 pm: “Personally, I like my women to be less ink stained like this fine actress who just so happens to speak to my inner geek:”

Go aussie girl, go!
30 WangKon936 June 23, 2009 at 12:26 am: Linkd,

Miss me?
31 Linkd June 23, 2009 at 12:54 am: Yes, in fact. I have.

or is that: Yes. In fact, I have.

Anyway, I hope you’re not being shy because some of the new kyopos wield both English and Korean a wee bit more adroitly than you; fuck it. It’s a matter of value-added per commenter (or poster), and we’ve more than enough lawyers already. dogbertt, for example, is pure tits-on-a-bull surplus.

I also recall some comment a while back where you said you weren’t going to post any more business stories because people just jumped on your analysis. Solution: just throw it up there without the analysis. You know well enough what’s a good story for discussion, so just put the stories up. Join the discussion in the comments, rather than editorializing in the post and then finding that the whole thread is you defending your initial initial analysis. There are people who are happy to discuss business. Just pick the right cuts, and throw the meat on the table.
32 WangKon936 June 23, 2009 at 2:42 am: Well I’ve been super busy here at work, but it’s nice to be missed I guess. My industry isn’t getting any busier. Rather it’s that good people in my industry are asked to do more with less! Other projects that have been sucking my time in the blogsphere is a discussion on a samauri history forum on the Imjin Wars (private discussion so it can’t be looked up on google).
33 seouldout June 23, 2009 at 2:50 am: So, when did ya’ll become 13-year-old schoolgirls?
