When It Rains, It Pours…

The biggest pop star in all of Asia — Rain — is facing a hailstorm of legal trouble in the US. A Honolulu concert promoter claims in a federal lawsuit that the so-called Korean “Justin Timberlake” defrauded them out of more than $500,000, and never had any intention of performing in the first place. And the legal mud-slinging could just be starting.
Well-placed sources tells TMZ that local promoters in Los Angeles, where Rain also canceled a concert an hour-and-a-half before the gig, are contemplating millions of dollars in legal action against the singer and his management company. “It isn’t going to be pretty,” says one source. All in all, Rain canceled two gigs and postponed three among his five US dates, citing a trademark suit in Nevada and technical glitches for the missed gigs. [TMZ]
