RAIN Returns to the TIME 100

What is it with RAIN (aka Jung Ji-hoon) and TIME magazine? For the third year in a row, RAIN is competing in the TIME MAGAZINE DORKY EXCUSE TO BOOST ITS HIT RATE, otherwise known as the TIME 100. Actually, as I write this, he is not just competing -- he is dominating.

1. Rain - 87 avg. rating - 208,455 votes
2. Stephen Colbert - 81 rating - 43,206 votes
3. Britney Spears - 80 rating - 84,560 votes

11. Nelson Mandela - 71 rating - 6,729 votes
13. Dali Lama - 70 rating - 7,089 votes
29. Nikki Finke - 56 rating - 4,223 votes

If you want to submit questions for Rain, you can do so here.

TIME's write up for RAIN is kind of funny:
He's training his successor? At 25? That's either the smartest or the saddest thing ever.
