South Korean pop sensation Rain kicked off the Asia leg of his world tour in Hong Kong with legions of screaming female fans, fireball pyrotechnics and trademark trendy dancing.
How are you, the pan-Asian heart-throb asked in Hong Kongs native Cantonese dialect shortly after going on stage, arousing an even more deafening din from the audience.
The 24-year-old performer, whose real name is Jung Ji-Hoon, has taken Asia by storm since his 2002 debut, selling millions of albums and becoming one of the few stars who have managed to transcend Asias diverse cultural divide.
Fans in Hong Kong at Friday nights opening show could barely suppress their glee at seeing the boyish, clean-cut star whose high-energy moves and on stage chest-baring have often drawn comparisons to U.S. pop star Justin Timberlake.
Were very excited, crooned 14 year old Vaness Ng who was at the concert with a classmate, We love watching him dance and sing. Hes much better than Aaron Kwok, she added referring to one of Hong Kongs four so-called Kings of Canto-pop.
Pounding his white-gloved fists into the air and flinging himself across the stage, Rain told his fans in American-accented English: Im sure our concerts going to be fantastic![by j033y]
