Quezon City, Philippines - Korean singer-actor Rain is the Most Influential Asian as of the latest tally of Time Magazine's Most Influential People in the world. The "Full House" actor enjoys his steady stand after receiving 47/100 average 'influence' rate and a total of 1.8 Million votes.
The premiere magazine sighted Rain's strength as: "His No. 2 finish in last year's online poll earned Korea's Justin Timberlake the attention — and satirical scorn — of third placer Stephen Colbert, who challenged the ponytailed body popper to a televised dance-off."
A very intriguing flaw [con] was sighted by the magazine, "Even with the Colbert bump, he still hasn't broken big in the U.S" says Time. We are not sure though but a lot of media portals are saying that Rain is not that fluent in English. He even guested in MTV U.S.A. before, and hired a translator for his interview.
Meanwhile, our very own Manny Pacquiao is steady at number 7 with a total influence rate of 24/100 from the total votes of 270 thousand which marks him as the second most influential Asian beating Vladimir Putin, the Tweeter inventors and Britney Spears.
