The GF was excited yesterday because of his "comeback."

I've heard this term used to describe the release of an album less than a year after the previous. What's up with that?

John Travolta? That's a comeback.

Rain, who has been on TV, billboards, movies, radio and MP3 players nonstop for the past 5 years? Not so much.

It's Konglish for "new album," more or less I asked one of my classes what they meant by "comeback" (in reference to Hyori's recent "comeback") and they just described new material being put out.

Somebody needs to slap that boy up along side the head. Just what is he suggesting -- a Cleveland Steamer???

Whether it was you or Rain who wrote that it's definitely a contender for worst lyrics of all time.

That's a joke lyric. Follow the link to the site and look for the real lyrics farther down the page.

So those were fake lyrics?

Aww.... what a shame! That would have been hilarious.

It only got banned because it's in Korean. Did Hyori get banned for singing "I want to take you home" a dozen times in her new song? Funny how no one bothers to translate what that means in Korean.

Wasn't Rain supposed to take over the world? Remember how psycho-netizens stuffed the virtual ballot box to have him win Time magazine's "Most Influential Person in the Universe" award?

Now SBS has had him banned. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

This will work in Rain's favor.
Like there wasn't enough hype around his tour and new album, SBS with its "ban" are now helping Rain reach even the outermost realms of the land of the morning calm's media world.

And why should we really care? I guess people who are very into Korean pop music and all that might care. I do like Big Bang. They seem to be cool. I do like some Korean songs, but I can't really keep up with it all.

He's a pop musician, not a punk. The majority of his fans would probably be offended by this.

Apparently the actual lyric that's getting him banned from TV is where he refers to his "magic wand" and mentions putting it inside a writhing woman.

Korean music turning "thuggish"? That's something I thought I'd never see.
