People Magazine Mistakes Rain for Karl Yune
Mon, 12 May 2008 at 3:07 pm
Speed Racer star Rain, aka rookie racer Taejo Togokhan, must have been glad he was featured in latest issue of People.
But instead of the 26-year-old Korean actor/pop star (inset), the mag accidentally published a picture of Karl Yune (Rick Yune’s younger brother).
Poor Rain!

I can see him being big in the US.
haha theres a test?!
us is over anyway. asia is 21st century baby.
an asian woman even wrote that little blurb.
Rick Yune is definitely better lookin’.
idiots!
Ahhh that’s really embarresing!
eww Rain looks waay better then that ugly man. How could they do that?
I love my asian boys (especially my Yunho baby), they are very talented, humble and handsome and their success is based in their hard work not in scandals.
The people in People are very stupid. Not something new however.
who the **** is rain, he looks like such a weed
welcome to planet earth. can’t get angry with people for not being able to tell asians apart… they can’t even tell black people apart either.
at least it’s not mistaken identity in a criminal case or something
OMFG, that Karl guy is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!
HORRIBLE RACIST, IGNORANT, BIGOTED MISTAKE
My racist mom flat out told me that all white people looked alike. So I grew up thinking Barbara Walters was Bea Arthur. Now, I am married to a White man and I can confirm - they don’t all look alike - my honey is one of a kind!
Racist. Where does this theory come from? Not all Asians look alike - all you need is to actually pay attention - People is racist.
I cannot believe you put a website up to play an “all asians look alike” game. this is the last time i will ever view your web site. why don’t you put up a all caucasion or african american look alike web site, or would that be disrespectful?
mary, jared is asian so he has the right to do what he wants when it comes to his race. calm down.
poor nobody.
*ouch
You know that if they confused two hollywood blondes, they’d be in deep ****. But with Rain? I bet they’ll get away with it. =(
Leah–anyone who doesn’t live under a rock would not need your confirmation that all white people don’t look alike.
That asian look-alike game tripped me up several times. I thought I’d be a lot more accurate especially considering I’ve got several Korean relatives. But it was fun!
That’s so bad…
that’s how Crackers dismiss Asians.
Crackers
also, Rain is a 25 year old the other dude is like 40.
Racism.
people magazine was racist in this mistake, so as jared putting that link

^^^^^^^^^^^
You’re a jerk! So you don’t think we need a confirmation that white people don’t look alike but you could not pass the all asians don’t look alike game? You’re a dumbie and racist
Maybe I should start a new website allwhiteslooksame.com and have them choose a white person and distinguish them from german, russian, british, american, australian, irish, and french. As for the article, I’m not surprised that an american magazine made that mistake… I am surprised though than an asian male (alexis is a guy) would make the mistake however.
I sooo want to see this movie! Poor Rain, actually thats the second time I’ve heard that name, check out this vid it’s of another person named Rain (I just found this the other day)

Wow, someone needs a Xanax. And btw, it’s “dummy”, not “dumbie”. College graduate here, I should know.
I didn’t fail the game at all, I actually scored several points above the average (13 out of 18). And FYI, my cousin–who is 1/2 Korean–admits that even she has trouble differentiating between Chinese people and Japanese people sometimes. It doesn’t make you racist, at worst it means you aren’t extremely observant.
I’d love to know what you got on the quiz (if you even took it). My point is that we don’t need you to inform us that not all white people look alike. I have no idea where you live that this information isn’t already universally known.
That is horrible!!! Holy crap, a valid magazine getting something that wrong is embarassing on every level.
Besides, Rain is 1,0000 times finer than Karl.
THIS IS FREAKING HYSTERICAL!!!!
OMG HAHAHA I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING !!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
