An interview with Rain who is a symbol of Korea's poweful cultural weapon

"The contents to be made by Asia will control the world market in future."

World star Rain who had done the Korea Economy News interview for about one hour before his concert started in Las Vegas on the 24th of last month, expressed as, "The stream of the world's mass culture will move to Asia in the near future."

Rain has been in the spotlight by the major news media like CNN, and so on, as he came to hold his concert in USA in 3 years after 2006, and Ninja Assassin which opened simultaneously all over the world, in which he plays the leading role, is a big hit.

Rain said, "As the cultural sauces focused on USA and Europe will be exhausted, Asia's cultural codes will replace them." and "A new road will be opened for passing America's Hollywood when the emotional sensibility and human resources that are unique to Korea, Japan's detail, and China's huge population are combined."

He, in particular, wants to emerge as the powerful cultural product (content) on his own and to help Korea's national competitiveness, echoing the slogan 'The Giant Leap in 2010' created by the Korea Economy News in the new year.
