RAIN, IS THAT REALLY YOU?

Imagine yourself in Rain's shoes right now: Your first debut in an American film (Speed Racer) is currently the laughing stock of all movies, and the "Engrish" you've studied oh-so-hard for completely failed you. Nothing else could go wrong, right?
Wrong! Celebrity magazine, People, tried to shed some light on the Korean singer-turned-actor by adding a interview with the 26-year-old in their latest issue, except the main picture of Rain is not really him. In fact, the picture was of Karl Yune (brother of Rick Yune) - both included in our Korean Presence Increasing in Hollywood article. What the hell was People Magazine thinking?
Is this People's mockery of saying that all Asians look alike? Or, is this People's hidden message that Rain was and always will be a nobody? You tell me.

Couldn't people recognize rain from other asian artists?. Some do look alike but not all. Come on, that guy in the picture doesn't even look like him. Also, in an online magazine he was mistaken for a Japanese(maybe because of his character in speed racer,he was japanese there) not a Korean.
