Rain's Wardrobe Malfunction Upsets Fans

From the front, K-pop hunk Rain looked as he usually does - broad-shouldered and well-muscled, filling out a snug, plain long-sleeved whiteT-shirt. But when he turned his back, it was a different story. Shocking. Vulgar. Rude. And worse, disrespectful of women, who make up a huge percentage of his fans. These irate comments refer to his latest wardrobe malfunction - a 'scandalous shirt' whose back blatantly displayed a print of a woman's bare breasts, draped over a rock guitar. The 25-year-old singer-actor was seen in the shirt two weeks ago, striding towards a helicopter that would take him from Hong Kong to Macau to receive the Asian Male Star Of The Year trophy at the CineAsia Film Awards. An entertainment news program on Seoul Broadcasting System released the footage of Rain's breast-baring shirt. The clip has since made its way to YouTube. But tongues only started wagging furiously online this week - after photos of the offending shirt were circulated widely on K-pop forums.

Pop star fans never cease to amaze me. Let the guy wear what he damn wants, it's not like he's ever been a shining example of good conduct and virtuous living.

I'd be exceptionally offended by that shirt as well; in and of itself it doesn't mean much of anything but it exists in a culture that totally sexualizes women in an objectifiying way and that re-enforces that mindset. Shame, Rain. Just wear no shirts from now on.
