South Korean pop star Rain faced off Thursday against Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung in what was billed as a "dream match" in Seoul.
Running side by side, Rain joined Park and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon in kicking off a charity match during Manchester United's visit to South Korea, designed to capitalize on the club's popularity in South Korea.
Each demonstrated his dribbling and passing skills. "I think the world star is better," Park joked when asked to compare the mayor and the singer.
Team MU Rain _ comprised of young aspiring South Korean soccer players _ then battled Team Manchester United _ teenagers selected from a worldwide YouTube competition.
Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov and defense Gary Neville led Team MU, while defense John O'Shea and defense Jonny Evans joined the mayor and Rain in leading Team MU Rain.
Team MU Rain won the match 6-4.
Manchester United plays FC Seoul on Friday, the third match of its Asian tour.
