Pinoy fans excited for Bi Rain's arrival in Manila | Who wants free tickets to his concert?

Kpop artist and Hollywood star Bi Rain is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, September 4, in Manila.

That's exactly one week before Rain's "Intensity" concert happening at
the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

The concert's media partner TV5 knows the exact time of Rain's arrival
in Manila but they're keeping it a secret so as not to be flocked with many fans who are waiting for his arrival.

The Intensity concert will also feature Kpop group U-Kiss and have
Pinoy pride Christian Bautista as special guest. U-Kiss is arriving on September 10.

Rain is arriving earlier than U-Kiss because reportedly, he'll be shooting some scenes in the Philippines for his Korean drama
"Fugitive" which will premiere on September 29.

Prior to the Philippines, Rain already taped for "Fugitive" in Korea, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong.

"Fugitive" also stars Daniel Henney of "Spring Waltz" and marks Rain's
comeback in Korean drama after 5 years and after concentrating in
Hollywood.

There are unconfirmed reports that Rain will also shoot a mini-series
for TV5. Paparazzi's Ruffa Gutierrez is confirmed though to have a one-on-one
interview with Rain.

Rain is definitely coming to Manila and maybe, that explains why rains keep pouring now in Manila. What do you think?

If you want free tickets for the concert, Odyssey Live will be giving 1 pair of VIP tickets and 2 pairs of Gold Tickets.

Just go to their SITE and answer the question: "Why do you want to go to Intensity featuring Rain and U-Kiss concert?". Then ask your friends to vote for your answer by clicking the "thumbs up" button. The one with the most "thumbs up"
will win 2 VIP tickets while two more persons will win each a pair of Gold tickets as consolation prize.

Their promo ends on September 9.

Intensity: Rain, U-Kiss & Christian Bautista in one concert on September 11

Korean pop artist and Hollywood actor Rain aka Jung Ji-Hoon / Bi Rain will be having a concert in the Philippines on September 11, 2010.

Rain's Live in Manila concert is billed "Intensity", to be held at the
SM Mall of Asia Open Ground, 8PM on September 11th. That's a Saturday!

The "Ninja Assassin" star will be joined by another K-Pop artist, the group U-Kiss who will be performing in the Philippines for the 3rd time already. They were here just last March and June.

Adding excitement to the "Intensity" concert is the inclusion of the
Philippines' very own Christian Bautista, also a very popular singer
in Indonesia, as the special guest in the concert.

According to Christian's manager Carlo Orosa, Rain's Intensity concert in Manila is extra special because it will be Rain's last concert before he submits himself to the Korean Military Service.

Rain will enter the military on September 28 and render 2-year service as a mandatory requirement for all male citizens in Korea.

The "Intensity" concert tickets are priced P500, P1,500, P3,000 and P4,500 plus 3% service charge.
