So, some of you would already be familiar with the whole rivalry between Stephen Colbert (a "reporter" for the Stephen Colbert show on Comedy Central) and Rain (a Korean pop-star who became overly popular across Asia). For those who are not familiar, you can watch the video below.

He's singing in Korean~ He's singing in Korean~ :D
What I did not know was how further this rivalry continued over the past year...
Few days ago, I heard from my fellow friend that Rain was further mentioned throughout the shows. Intrigued, I searched more about it and found these clips of videos where he swears off on his "arch-nemesis". XD;;

Right after the previous video, he appeared on the Korean news (which is true). Some did really feel offended by it, but most understood the joke and were overjoyed by how a Korean pop-star was noticed on a famouse American show.

The first 2 mintues, he talks about a talking fish. But eventually he mentions his second loss against his "arch-nemesis" Rain in the Time Magazine's "Top 100 most influencial people" polled amongst the public, then replays his own music video "I'm singing in Korean".

In this video, Rain actually comments BACK to Stephen Colbert and trash talks him! (Ooooohhh) So, Stephen Colbert challenges Rain for a DANCE OFF!!!

And guess what, they had a DANCE OFF.
I have to say, I'm really amused by all of this. Colbert continues to mention about Rain, even on a NBC morning show and Larry King Live! It's funny how they carried on this whole rivalry throughout and I cannot wait what more they'll come up with. XD;;
