Danny Ahn never thought that Rain would make it big

Life is really unpredictable, isn’t it?
Former G.O.D member, Danny Ahn revealed recently on a program that he had never thought that Rain would cut it in the industry and never dreamt that that he would become a global popstar today.
Danny Ahn mention in the program, "Rain was only a trainee at that time while the group I was in, G.O.D was the most popular group then. I often pointed out to Rain that he should learn how to control where he is looking at when facing the cameras. I will always add a sentence saying, "You can’t cut it." Kim Tae Woo was worst than me, he often says to Rain, "You aren’t star material."
But after listening to Rain’s second album, "How to Avoid the Sun", it totally changed Danny Ahn’s perspective of him. He said, "Many reporters often asked for my opinion on Rain back then since I was his senior. I will always say that he is very cool." He added, "We often keep in contact through the phone but now I don’t because I’m afraid of disturbing him. I keep up to date with his development through the internet just like many of his fans."
"Not long ago, he sent a group sms to his contacts saying that this was his new mobile number. This already made me very contented."

Who are those who can predict someone's future? Recently in a program segment Danny An spoke frankly about how he used to not find favor in Rain, and yet in a dream he had before he dreamt that Rain would become very successful. This statement that was made brought in much attention from the audiences. In the program Danny An said, "The time when Rain was a trainee was when the group G.O.D.--which I was a part of--was at its prime. At that time I frequently warned Rain to learn the process of 'line of sight' (not sure what this means, literal translation) whenever standing in front of the camera. I'd also add statements like 'you're not good'. (Kim) Tae-woo was even more offensive, he'd often say to Rain, 'You're not star material' ". But after listening to Rain's 2nd album, Danny An changed from his own initial point of view. He said, "At that time reporters would constantly ask me how I felt about being Rain's senior, and with such questions before me, I could only reply by saying that he is totally amazing." He went on saying, "We used to talk often over the phone, but now I'm afraid to bother him, so I dare not call him. Just like the fans would do I only get to know news of him via the internet network. Not too long ago while in a group setting he gave me a short note, informing me of his new phone number, so with this I'm already very satisfied."
