RAIN, 'I'm Coming'

Korean singer Rain, for those of you who haven't traveled to the Pacific Rim lately, is the latest Asian pop sensation, an even more baby-faced version of J.T. I stumbled across this video after seeing Stephen Colbert's hilarious parody of another music video on Youtube. This one's not so hilarious...
'I'm Coming' is so far gone, I don't even know if Debord's theory of the Spectacle can aptly capture what's going on here. Apparently, Rain is coming...
Coming on a pair of prosthetic wings,
coming to land heroically yet tenderly in a war zone,
coming to an ambiguous, yet affectlivey middle eastern town,
coming to save the shell-shocked GI's,
coming to pop-lock our way out of disaster and terror,
coming to assuage your fear w/ R&B hits...
