Rain appears in court personally to clear his name

The sudden cancelation of a concert landed a Korean superstar in a fraud case. The concert organizer demanded through court for a compensation of US$40 million from the singer and his previous managing company.The hearing was held in Hawaii on Wednesday and Rain appeared in court to give his statement.Few days before his Hawaii concert on Jun 15, 2007, Rain suddenly announced that his concert will be canceled. The reason given then was that the stage design done by the organizer was not up to his expectations. The organizer, however, believed that the reason the concert was canceled was because Rain had terminated his contract with his then artiste management company JYP; they felt that finding an excuse to cancel the concert is an act of fraud.Though the case was previously trialed in Korea and Rain was found not guilty, the organizer felt that they had been interfered by Rain's representing lawyer at that time and thus requested for him to be in court personally for the trial in Hawaii. The court hearing is currently ongoing till Mar 18. According to reports, Rain has also freed up early March to attend court personally, hopefully the court will clear his name and end the two-year case.
