Korean pop singer and actor Rain has not been chosen to perform the 2008 Beijing Olympics theme song, according to his management agency J Tunes.
J Tunes issued the clarification, after reports surfaced that Rain would be performing the theme song for the Olympics this summer. "An agency in China asked Rain to record a 'candidate' song for the Olympics, but we have not yet recorded any song", J Tunes said.
J Tunes said Rain would be honored if he were chosen to perform the official song for the Olympics.
Beijing Olympic organizers will announce the official song and singer, 100 days before the start of the Olympics. The Beijing Olympics will run from Aug. 8 to 24.
Rain is one of the most popular Korean singers and actors in China. He has appeared in numerous advertisements for Pepsi, DHC cosmetics and other products in China. Rain is also appearing in the highly anticipated Hollywood film "Speed Racer" this year.
Last year, Chinese superstar Jackie Chan recorded, "We are Ready", an official song that marked the countdown to the Beijing Olympics.
