Applause for the hardworking Rain

Rain who is a singer and an actor always been like a senior student in high school taking college entrance exam. Actually, the preparation time which he prepared for the entrance exam is quite short, he started 102 days before the exam. Moreover, is because JYP said if he doesn't pass the exam then no album will be release for him so Rain started to study really hard for the exam. Even until now, his non-stop work 24 hours everyday, his tightened nerves just like his "examinee" life back in high school and this has been 10 years already.

10 years could be like nothing, but one year of life as a senior in high school was already enough to many people, because you have to study 24 hours everyday and this tightens all your nerves, you cannot even fall asleep. Although Rain went through this hardship in order to do something he enjoys but often people who saw him handling this matter feels sorry for him.

Rain who debuted in the year 2002 at a age of 20 years old, his popularity is like a racer car. He became an Asian super star after debuted 3 years, finished a world tour after debuted 4 years, and then selected as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Year 2006, he stepped into the Korea movie industry by shooting his first movie "I'm a Cyborg, but it's okay". Year 2007, filmed his first Hollywood movie "Speed Racer".

As a Korean singer who debuted only 6 years but already entered Hollywood must said is a miracle. These cannot be view as all by luck. It's because Rain always prepared well so he can grab the luck. It's obvious that his preparation period is similar to his life as a senior in high school, very difficult: he observed people pass by carefully, then memorized all the related dance ideas and brought all back home. The bodyguard who always followed Rain later became his English teacher said, 24 hours a day is not enough time for Rain to use. Rain is competing with himself everyday.

Rain also worry Speed Racer's box office is not good as expected. But no matter what, his character acted very well compared to his previous anticipation. Even though is a support actor, but he won the audition from the directors you can see he already hold a space in Hollywood as an actor, he can participate in a Hollywood movie deserve our applause.

Within all Korean actors, who has participated in a Hollywood film that's over 3000 million wons? Who has been in Hollywood box office 3rd ranking? Who worked so hard in Hollywood to demonstrate themselves to impress the directors to display Korean writings on Hollywood movie screen? Not only that, during Speed Racer promotion period, couple famous Hong Kong producer wanted to invite Rain to shoot new movies. It included a movie film with Hollywood and a 100 million wons budgeted world-wide production movie.

Before Speed Racer premiere, Rain already been selected to act in a new movie "Ninja Assassin" as the main actor. He is currently filming this movie in Berlin. Rain who always has a good appetite lost 10 kilograms within 5 months of intense body training. Although sometimes Rain will complain saying "he wants to eat pork and drink", but he afraid this will affect his movie filming so he endured it very hard.

He is already 26 years old now, soon he will step into his 7th year after debuted, this is the time for us to applause for him!
