To the disappointment of many of his fans here, Korean superstar Rain is going to stay in the U.S. for a bit longer.

The decision came after a Korean broadcasting station cancelled its plan to air a performance from Rain’s World Tour. Rain’s agent said that he now has no reason to rush his return to Korea and will stay in America to study English and prepare for his career there.

The agent said that Rain’s decision to remain in the U.S. does not mean that he has abandoned his fans in Korea. He added that Rain just needs more time to adjust to the American environment and master the language before venturing into the American entertainment industry.
