Misidentified Asian Person

Rick Yune Rain on Rick Yune's layout

So I don’t think there are enough instances in misidentified Asian people in the news to warrant an ongoing feature like Undercover Black Man’s Misidentified Black Person, but this one is definitely worth mentioning. Radar notes that a little vignette on Rick Yune featured a picture of some singer named Rain. Hm. I’ve never heard of Rain, but definitely know what Rick Yune looks like. Hello…he’s the guy that used to date Lisa Ling????

But wait! There’s more! According to Speed Racer’s IMDB, its Rain that stars in the film Speed Racer (which was the reason for the People layout), not Rick Yune! So….who is that guy? It’s Karl Yune, Rick’s brother! W00t! So let’s lay this out just to make sure we all get this straight.
