What is it with RAIN (aka Jung Ji-hoon) and TIME magazine? For the third year in a row, RAIN is competing in the TIME MAGAZINE DORKY EXCUSE TO BOOST ITS HIT RATE, otherwise known as the TIME 100. Actually, as I write this, he is not just competing — he is dominating.

1. Rain – 87 avg. rating – 208,455 votes
2. Stephen Colbert – 81 rating – 43,206 votes
3. Britney Spears – 80 rating – 84,560 votes

11. Nelson Mandela – 71 rating – 6,729 votes
13. Dali Lama – 70 rating – 7,089 votes
29. Nikki Finke – 56 rating – 4,223 votes
