Currently, Rain is training in Berlin for his Ninja Assassin scenes. “From 6 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, I receive hard-core training,” Jeong said. He works out every day to lose weight and he practices martial arts.

Jeong is not giving up his music for acting, though. He contributed a song to the original soundtrack for the animated film “Kung Fu Panda” (2008). DreamWorks invited Jeong to perform on the film as a singer. He had enjoyed listening to the original song of “Kung Fu Fighting,” so when he was invited by Carl Douglas to take part, he didn’t hesitate.

Jeong never imagined himself working with big Hollywood stars. “I’m not the guy who thoroughly calculates before planning a career or work,” Jeong said. “If I had calculated, I wouldn’t be who I am at the moment.” But he is not letting his success go to his head. He knows he has to continue to work hard. “The key to success is not to stop challenging yourself, try new fields, remain focused and consider what you want,” he said.
