Rain tops the list in first place at the 2011 Time 100 Poll, which makes his image upgraded as a world star

U.S. Time magazine takes an online vote to pick "100 persons of the year" every year from among the most powerful and influential people who have helped change the world, and Korea's singer and actor Rain is topping the list in first place fairly and squarely at its 100 online poll this year.

At the poll, Rain has emerged as the top choice among 203 candidates, receiving 406,000 votes while beating out his rival candidates, Jay Chou, Susan Boyle and so on.

After a very strict selection process by the magazine, "the top 100 most influential people in the world" will be officially confirmed on 21 April.

Meanwhile, Rain got the honor of being on the list of 'The 100 most Powerful people' by the magazine in 2006, and at its 100 online poll, he came in first and second, in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Rain is now filming movie 'Red Muffler'.
