Wow I'm sooo happy for Rain..that's more publicity for him! Though I don't use samsung, I can think over buying it if my phone self-destructs..lol.. Wooh! Way to go Rain!
Yay for Rain!!
I laugh at my self for knowing all the celeberties endorsing for Asian countries...Andy Lau, Sharukh khan, etc xDD
Samsung got Rain this time around because he is WELL-KNOWN in those regions. He'll never cut it in Korea where he's a never-seen has-been.
I know people who bought the Samsung phones endorsed by Rain. Their verdict? "Low-end phone".
^anon, you are funny ad not in a good way.
I may understand never-seen, but a has-been? psshh..
@ anonymous,
It IS a low end phone. The manufacturers are using Bi to endorse it in order to sell more sets before it hits its EOL (end of life) stage.
anonymous,
Yeah they won't get Rain to do it for Korea coz duh, Samsung is from Korea..They can use any never-heard star for that..
