A federal court trial is scheduled to begin today in a lawsuit against South Korean pop start Rain, who abruptly canceled a June 2007 concert at Aloha Stadium.

Hawai'i-based promoter Click Entertainment Inc. alleges in the lawsuit that Rain — whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon — and his producers defrauded it of more than $500,000 paid in licensing fees.

The promoter is also seeking additional damages for the cost of staging the event, including rental of Aloha Stadium, stage production, travel, hotel accommodations, merchandising and advertising.

The concert was canceled just days before the scheduled June 15, 2007, performance at Aloha Stadium, disappointing many fans who paid as much as $300 for a ticket and flew to Honolulu from as far as away as Japan and South Korea. It was the first stop on the "Rain's Coming" U.S. tour.

All ticket holders were offered refunds.
