[Popwatch] Read This If You Don’t Know Who ‘Rain’ Is, Or If You Do

Remember when Rain won the MTV Movie Award for Biggest Badass Star and everyone was like "Who is Rain?" No? Well, you were smart to be watching Breaking Bad instead.

Here's the deal with Rain. He's a Korean pop sensation with whom Stephen Colbert feuded in 2008 because both were up for the top spot in the Time 100. Stephen challenged Rain's reign with his spoof video, "He's Singin' in Korean."

Then Rain actually showed up at The Colbert Report to look his "old nemesis" in the eye, and Rain and Stephen had a proper dance-off. Smoke machines, empty studio, tight red jeans on a respected newsman, a struggle to the near-death for Dance Dance Revolution domination, the works.

This time he was DANCING in Korean! Please do relive it after the jump.
The takeaway from all of this is that 1) Stephen Colbert is hot;
2) Trivia: Rain played Taejo Togokahn in Speed Racer;
3) This is why every time it rains, I look to the sky, shake my fist, and yell "Raaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn!" Nerd.
