Part 2
Rain: Style is a weapon to me.
I'm not afraid of failure, and I could come seriously unstuck.
-----Who does he think is this generation's ultimate style icon?------
-Rain's first music album 'Bad Guy' in 2002-
He is a hard worker enough to make himself get exhausted.
He produced the image of himself to show the Rain through the stage clothes with Oriental patterns in silk.
-His second album 'the Way to Avoid the Sun' in 2003-
His own style started with the 3rd album in 2003, and it had a great effect on 'Street Fashion' which uses jackets made from wool, Grunge Look, and sunglasses of Boeing style.
He was the king of the song world and was acknowledged as a bona fide star.
Since he could not win recognition as a singer who has an outstanding singing ability because he is a dance singer, he would express his inconvenience.
And so he ran on the treadmill and sang at the same time in order to improve his ability in singing, thus he was able to get to what he is.
-His third album 'It's Raining' in 2004-
During his 3rd album activities, he used leather vest, having pants on the hips, leather wristlets, and a big belt as styling items.
Rain: My concert may weigh heavily upon my mind, but I'll do my best to show a good stage.
-His 4th album 'I'm Coming' in 2006-
He planted himself in the entertainment world, emerging as the world star over the Korean Wave Star (Hanryu star), and showed his male robustness, creating the identity of what to lead corps.
-----2007 was a turning point for him. He separated himself from JYP and struck out a path of his own-----
-His 5th album 'Rainism' in 2008-
He participated in producing of his 5th album himself, 7 years after he debuted, he was able to show his sexiness just by his outfit even if he didn't expose his body
-Interview part-
Rain: Hi, everyone. Long time no see.
I was so delighted I won 'Best Style Icon' last year, and I'd like to thank you again for awarding the prize.
Q: who do you think is the top style icon?
Rain: I think actress 'Kim Hye-Soo' is the top star in terms of style, because she is always challenging herself and always creates new trends.
Q: I know you have a short episode which makes people laugh, related to her.
Rain: In 2004 during a film award, I was so nervous that I made a big mistake about her. At that time, I thought she was a male star because she was wearing trousers. Later, I was able to make up for the mistake, bringing her a bunch of flowers in another film awards.
Q: What do you think is a real style?
Rain: I think it's the vitamin of life.
Q: How do you think we can pursuit it?
Rain: First we should feel comfortable with the clothing we have on.
And, I believe that the most important thing is not the expensive clothes but the well-proportioned figure that will help you look gorgeous anytime, no matter what you're wearing.
Q: What do you think about Seoul city?
Rain: I think Seoul is the best city in the world because there is no such city anywhere in the world as the water runs through its center.
Q: What do you think about 'Sharing'?
Rain: I think mental sharing is more important than material one.
In my case, I've held some events that will help unfortunate neighbors at the end of every year. Later, I'd like to help to encourage the unfortunate teenagers, who have the making of a singer and a dancer, in order to use their talents, establishing a foundation for them, that's why I've worked hard and saved money.
I'd very much like to do such thing if I have the need to help in ten or twenty years.
Q: What do you think about starving children?
Rain: I've heard much about them, thinking the situation is serious, so I'm trying to help them as much as I can.
----Rain indeed can be called just a real all-round star who is going over the border between genre and nationality in this age. Hopefully, he'll keep on challenging and acting as a star who has boundless potentialities and will realize his dream.-----
