Rain at the 2008 Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony

For the past year, Rain has been dodging questions from the media asking whether he will perform at the Olympics. He confirmed this speculation, then later dismissed it by saying it was all a rumor. Nice try. It wasn't much of a surprise.

Rain attended the 2008 Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony and performed "Beijing, Beijing, I love Beijing" - the first act of the night. Representing Korea and the Hallyu Wave, he sang along side other famous Asian artists, such as Hong Kong's Kelly Chen and many more. I'm so glad he chopped off those feminine locks...but he's almost unrecognizable with short hair.

China ends the Olympic gala with style and awe-inspiring fireworks.






On another note, London reminds the international audience that the land of the white wigs is COOL and to anticipate another great Olympics in 2012. David Beckham kicked a football - a quite subtle foreshadowing that London will be ready to kick some butt.
