Rain becomes the first Asian to be twice picked as TIME's top 100 most influential entertainers in the world

As world star Rain has become the first Asian to be twice selected as one of the World's Most Influential People by the Time magazine after ranking top in its 100 Poll this year, he is being congratulated from his fans all over the world.

Before this, in the 2011 Time 100 Poll that closed officially as of midnight on 14 April, Rain took first place, maintaining dominant position in the list of 203 candidates after beating out Jay Chou (second), Susan Boyle (third) and so on.

As a result, he is scheduled to leave the country at 19:30pm on 24 April at the invitation of an official party hosted by the Time 100 to be held on 26 April in New York.

The party will be attended by prominent figures from around the world included in the Time 100, including the American First Lady Michelle Obama and Rain. He is expected to return home at 17:35pm on 28 April in order to film movie 'Red Muffler' as scheduled.

Meanwhile, in 2006, Rain had proven it by being picked as TIME's top 100 most influential entertainers in the world.
