Asian Megastar Rain is currently preparing for his “Thank You Concert”, slated to happen in Vegas during May next year.

Rain will become the first Korean artiste to hold a global concert tour when he holds his US Vegas Concert on the 23rd and 24th December this year at the Caesar Palace. Although the concert has not kicked off formally, various concert venues in Las Vegas have approached Rain in hope of becoming the organiser for his “Thank You Concert”.

A representative of Star M, the company in charge of producing this global concert tour, revealed their intention to have a mega-scale “Thank You Concert”. Caesar Palace is able to accommodate 3,800 pax, but the concert location required must be able to hold at least 150,000 pax. If the concert in December is a means to break into the most popular tourist city in the US and not to make profit, then the “Thank You Concert” must be able to take in considerable amount of profit to prove that Rain has indeed made the leap and become a global star.

Tickets for the December concerts have been sold out. This is an indication of Rain’s popularity in the US. At the same time, the Global Concert Tour schedule is now more or less complete. With the Las Vegas performance as a kick off, he will be holding concerts in Hawaii in December, as well as China and Japan next year. In February, he will also be holdinghis concerts in New York, Toronto, Las Vegas and other parts of US.

In order for Rain to truly become a global star, they are considering if they want to extend the global tour to cover an even bigger area on the world map. They are now preparing to hold a Korean singers concert in Dubai. The Commonwealth of Australia has also extended their invitation to Rain.

In addition, Rain is now in negotiation with an airline company. The dancers and crew members together with Rain make up a force of 70 members. Airline expenses for the crew alone is expected to reach 4 billion won. In addition, the transportation expenses will add on to expenses significantly.

The represenative from Star M says, “The plane body will be painted with Rain’s Coming World Tour promotional message. This expense alone will incur about 3 million won. If we can improve the airline company’s image with the help of Rain, using the airplane as a promotion tour may be a good proposal.”
