Rain set to perform two shows at the AsiaWorld Expo Arena, making Hong Kong the first stop in Asia for RAIN'S COMING – 06/07 RAIN WORLD TOUR
On 12th and 13th January, 2007, Korean superstar Rain (née JUNG Ji-Hoon) will perform in Hong Kong at the AsiaWorld Expo Arena as part of his second World Tour in three years, titled Rain’s Coming.
The RAIN'S COMING – 06/07 RAIN WORLD TOUR is in celebration of the release of his fourth and latest album, Rain’s World (2006). The tour will debut in Seoul, Korea on 15th and 16th December, 2006 at the Olympic Park Gymnasium. The exclusive 12th and 13th January, 2007 performances in Hong Kong will be the first stop in Asia outside of his hometown.
“Hong Kong is one of Rain’s favorite places in the world and we could not be happier to bring the RAIN'S COMING – 06/07 RAIN WORLD TOUR to all his wonderful fans in Hong Kong. We look forward to showcasing Rain’s evolution into a global Asian superstar in this world-class concert production,” says Mr. Beom-Chang KANG, Director of StarM, global organizer of the Rain’s Coming World Tour.

Dubbed “The Magic Feet from Korea” by Time Magazine in their 100 Most Influential People of 2006 issue (May, 2006), Rain has truly evolved into an International Asian superstar. Therefore, the production of his World Tour would not be anything shy of world class.
