Rain Contributes 30-min Video For Free!


Rain cast in the 30-minute promotion film for MTV, it is a charity documentary for the global campaign called EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking, i.e. to prevent illegel selling of humans).
Rain received the invitation in June and immediately he promised to participate in the filming. In fact he was busy with the Hollywood film but he still spared his time and recorded the video explanation.
The documentary will be broadcasted in Oct 27, in which Rain (for Korean language) will introduce the exploitation and trafficking issues in Asian regions. Also, he will provide the solutions and recommendation that how consumers can prevent this from happening.
The European group, Campaign has organised this MTV EXIT campaign. From the interview with Simon Goff, the manager from this company by Sports Donga, "MTV never pays for these charity events... It's applicable to super stars like Angelina Jolie, Tata Young etc who took part before. In my opinion, it's indeed very meaning for artists to get involved in such event."
Below is the interview with Simon Goff (only translate Bi-related info)
- Why Rain?
Well this is indeed the most common question I have in Korea. Since MTV is a music channel, we think that Rain is the most influential singer and also the best candidate.
- How much you pay?
Frankly speaking, MTV never pays such charity events. For super stars like Angelina Jolie and Tata Young, they also did it without taking a single cent. And I think it's something very meaningful for artists to take part."
- Any plans for future event?
We begin with documentary and we'll produce animation. Probably these will be screened in 2008. In the same time, we'll make short CFs of 30-60 seconds and concerts. Of course if possible, we hope that Rain can be there as well.
