South Korean pop star Rain arrives in Honolulu
By Associated Press
POSTED: 06:52 p.m. HST, Mar 15, 2009
South Korean pop star Rain arrived in Honolulu today, preparing for likely testimony in a federal civil trial tomorrow.
Seung Su Lee, president of Honolulu-based Click Entertainment Inc., is suing the popular performer and his former agency, Seoul-based JYP Entertainment Co., for breach of contract and fraud for Rain’s cancellation of a 2007 concert at Aloha Stadium without explanation. Rain kept a $500,000 appearance fee.
Lee testified last week that the last-minute cancellation cost him $1.5 million and damaged his business reputation. He also said Rain and his traveling entourage of 90 people never intended to perform in Hawaii, saying the crew never applied for proper visas.
Rain is expected to be called as a witness as early as tomorrow.
