Dreams-NGOs-Kpop

Seeing asians hitting the international circle is not easy in the entertainment industry. Watching Malaysian singers trying to strive for acknowledgement in their music in Taiwan is heart-wrenching. And we are talking about neighbour asian-chinese countries, not some other-main language countries. I guess achieving any dreams too won't be any easy. Where theres demand, theres market. But what if ... - no demands, no need supply isn't it. Dreams are not dreams if its easily achieve i guess.

The current hit of 'Rain-Bi' is overwhelming.. his hard hard work has finally paid-off. His dreams. World tour and having tickets selling for RM 700++ is ... wahhh... You must really be a somebody that people are willing to even pay that amount to sit in a stadium, jam packed with lots of sweaty screaming young fans from nowhere, just to watch you sing and dance and to hear you say something like 'sarang he-yo'. But this guy, the power is enormously powerful that even when i saw him on tv, i get the jingles-bam-bam man. AMAZING!

I came across this shot of him yesterday which Rain was doing some photo-taking for the Social Welfare Society for unfortunate children. After i saw this, i felt the amazing-ness of it all. I do feel that celebrities should have more concern for NGOs, helping the needy or just assisting people like us, who find it so damn hard to get someone influencial to spread the care and the services that we offer. To me, it's rather obvious that we take in more from people who are more influencial.

People go to well established NGOs. And these organisations market themselves like a product, and even so people assume that since its well established, the money will automatically be put to good use- 'its famous wert...'. (own and some other's assumptions :) ) I work in an NGO myself, and sometimes its sad to see the ones which are on the front line of helping the ones in need so much in lacking of funds whereas the established ones gets more and more and more till they don't know where to spend on.
*If you are looking somewhere to share your monetary thought with and you want to give it to the ones who 'really-really' needs it or you have a specific NGO/areas you want to help in KL, do tell me, i'll pass you some contacts.

OKAY, i've really been inconsistent from singers to dreams toKpop to my admiree to charity. I should just stop babbling on about how sucky to get someone to do a performance for charity. Would really end with the studio shot of Rain-Jung Ji Hoon for the Unfortunate Children. Picture adapted from www.bi-rain.org
