female fans. Due to his popularity, it has changed the initial plan of Pepsi which does not intend to offer
Korean artistes to be Pepsi"s ambassadors. Now they have changed their mind to offer a high price to invite
Rain to be its new" blue blood".
For the past 2 years, Pepsi had spent enormous amount of fund in search of the world popular super stars,
offering them to be its ambassadors. They include soccer star David Beckham,Taiwan popular idols F4,Jay
Chou, Hong Kong stars Edison Chen, Nicholas Tse,Louis Koo ect. Now with the recent up and rising Korean
Star Rain, Pepsi is quick to put him in its list.
According to source, Pepsi has recently sent a representative to fly over to Korea to discuss details with
Rain and they are about to sign the contract. Also according to source, Pepsi shall be the sponsor of Rain"s
October concert in Hong Kong, but Rain"s Hong Kong manager Ms Chan Ka Ying responded,"At this moment,
it"s not convenient to talk about this.There shall be a news announcement shortly!"
As the old Chinese saying "One mountain cannot be ruled by several tigers", Pepsi has somehow created an
internal competition. As Rain"s rising popularity is getting strong, the status of Jay, who has the same feature
of"single eye-lid" as Rain, has somehow been affected-there"s a rumor that the skin product brand HDC has the
intention to switch from Jay to Rain to be its ambassador, in order to capture Korea, Japan, and China market
to expand its business. Besides being popular for his R&B songs and dance steps, Rain"s lead role in " Full
House" has also emotionally touched many Asian women"s hearts. He has even successfully penetrated (渗透)
into the mainland China market, the most difficult task. His recent Beijing concert caused a tremendous hit,
resulting in creating"Korean Fever" in mainland China.

| Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance. After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources. Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children"s forums (论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone." Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean. Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." |
