An episode told of Rain during 'Concept Korea' in New York Public Library Aster Hall last 12th

Last Feb.12th, around 640 of the fashion officials were gathered in New York Public Library Aster Hall in order to celebrate 'Concept Korea' which is an event which helps extending the domestic fashion industry's business abroad.

'Concept Korea' where the Korean government showed their will to become a powerful nation in cultures, spending around $1.14 million of the substantial budget, has succeeded in attracting the attention of the public about Korean fashion, however, some more time seems to be needed to reach their intrinsic destination of appearing on the fashion industry and promoting fashion collection features.

Around four fifth of the attendance got out of the hall in only 20 minutes when Rain's performance was finished after a speech for the opening celebration.
