Rain vs. Se7en?

When you are smoking hot Hallyu stars trying to break into the US around the same time, you've got people making comparisons between the both of you.

Rain and Se7en, Kpop singers (and actors), both have a strong fan base in Asia and are set to make their presence felt in the States.

the Hallyu

The former has a supporting role in Speed Racer, a flick directed by the Wachowski brothers while the latter is currently working on his English album, scheduled for release end of the year.

Are they rivals? Many would like to think so considering their individual efforts and "race" to become the first Hallyu star embraced by the general American public (and not only by the Asian American community).

However, the two stars are in fact chummy even if people like to pit them against each other. Here's the proof:

Awww, lookit! They are so
happy to see each other

Having a little chat before a movie starts

Looking happy together at an event

Se7en gives Rain the thumbs-up

This pic takes the cake! They don't
even mind getting into bed together!
