Rain wont be included in the list of candidates for the 100 most influential people of the world poll from Time Magazine this 2012. Although the reason for why he wont be included in the poll is unknown perhaps it was influence by his ongoing hiatus for he is currently serving his 2 year mandatory military service.

The famous South Korean star turned Hollywood actor made it three times at the Poll and twice in the actual magazine's list for the 100 Most Influential People of the world. He first made it in 2006 and in 2007 he also topped the poll but not the actual list and in 2011 he topped the list for 100 Most influential People of the World.

Netizens commented, "This is sad news, But he was already listed twice so I guess that's okay", "Maybe it's because of his ongoing hiatus", "That's okay, he's been in it twice already anyways".
