Korean pop superstar Jung Ji-Hoon—known simply to music fans as Rain—failed to show up at his own press conference this afternoon, September 6, at the Manila Hotel in Manila.

The press engagement was originally called at 2 p.m., only to be canceled at the last minute by the organizers. A representative from Rain's management team later told the invited members of the press and guests that a "miscommunication" had transpired between them and the Philippine promoters concerning the date of the press conference.

Speaking with the help of an interpreter, Mr. Jung explained that Rain's team thought that the press conference will be held on Thursday, September 9, and not Monday, which is today.

Rain's management group, Mr. Jung added, picked September 9 as the date of the press conference during the time they were organizing the 28-year-old singer-actor's Manila itinerary.

The popular Korean celebrity is here in the country to do a one-night concert this Saturday, September 11, at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds in Pasay City. Smart Communications and TV5—two companies that are owned by businessman Manny V. Pangilinan—are sponsoring the live music spectacle.

Korean pop group U-Kiss along with our very own Christian Bautista will be special guests at the concert dubbed Intensity.

Rain, who arrived quietly in Cebu last September 1, is in the country to shoot a Korean television series titled Fugitive. The series, according to reports, will be shown in the Philippines via TV5 under the title Runaway.

Judging the haters whining, "Why is the concert promoted on TV5 and not ABS-CBN."  Like duh, TV5 brought Rain in Manila.

There are two major channels here ABSCBN and GMA... TV5 is kind of in the second level. Nothing wrong with it but I don't know I guess they want the big networks to cover this or something.

would people just be unaware sense it's on a lesser channel?

LOL yes, that's the word - unaware. It lacks publicity, and that's partly because of the channel :))

Manny Pangilinan actually owns a lot of companies here so idk, maybe he has other publicity gigs up his sleeve XD Besides Rain is already popular on his own, and this spread mostly through word of mouth. So I don't think the concert will lack audiences, hahaha.

You're fired~ miscommunication (a lot of that going on at JTune lately). *sideeye
He wants to slip in the back door and out again, it doesn't seem like he wants to do this show(obligation for drama i'm sure).
THIS IS MY OPINION, lack of press and lack of communication when tickets went on sale and confirming he was doing it. Heck U-Kiss gave the big yes it's happening. Also what's with the name, Intensity. Just last week the billing was changed (which it should have been that way to start) but Rain was billed as special guest and Christian had top.
So that was another miscommunication~ changed.
Hope Phil~clouds have fun <.< your leader might be pissy. [He's a cancer they are moody fucks, IJS]
