Rain Voted World's Most Beautiful People
Korean pop singer Rain has been named one of the world's most beautiful people by an American entertainment magazine.
Rain, who is currently on a world tour, was selected by People magazine for its annual roundup of the world's 100 most beautiful people. The list will be published in this Friday's edition with Hollywood star Drew Barrymore on the cover.
According to Rain's management company JYP Entertainment, Rain is one of just seven non-Americans on the list. The company said that Rain spoke with the magazine on the phone last month for a half-page article about him to accompany the list.
Rain was selected last year as one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine, but it's his first time on the "most beautiful" list.
Last year Ursula Mayes, a Korean-American model working in the U.S., was included on the beautiful list. In 2003 the Ahn Trio, a three-sister classical music act, became the first Koreans selected for the honor.
