This is the part with Kim Tai Woo. Last part will follow.
MC: Rain is too harsh on himself (words on screen: strength which creates today’s Rain). You are so harsh on yourself, then what about to others?
Rain: As a matter of fact I am very lenient to people around me. For example, if Yourong asked me “Can you buy me a meal?” “Can you treat me to some nice food?”…
MC: Then you always buy meal for people around you?
Rain: Of course! I will always buy them meals (suddenly from far away “I disagree!”)
Screen: Very familiar voice. Who could that be? Secret guest: singer Kim Taiwoo. Stay tuned for the heated debate between Kim and Rain. (Rain: both nervous and happy)
Kim: Actually…
MC: May be you should first say hello (words on screen: impatient guest).
Kim: Hello everybody, this is KTW.
MC: Please state your objection
Kim: As an artist, Rain has very good image, but since recently we tend to be giving the truth, so today I come here to tell everyone the true side of Rain. I disagree just now because this kid is richer than JYP. (words on screen: birth of a billionaire? Swaying World Star). It’s true, It’s true.
Rain: It’s not like that! (words on screen: grievance) No.
Kim: But JYP will often buy us meals and drinks. Actually JYP hyun is not the type of people who likes to ask younger brother to pay, but even he once said to Rain: “Please be a host for once!”
Kim: You just said you often buy meals. So what happened?
Rain: That… I… I hold to my traditional view – which is you must ask your meal from your senior. This is my strong belief.
Huajing: But you have so much income.
Rain: It’s not like that. I said no just now. (words on screen: denying actively). JYP definitely is richer.
Kim: No way, this kid has more money (words on screen: please don’t lie, Jungjihoon) Actually I can also buy him meals, but this friend of mine is just too busy.
Rain: Wow, Wait a minute, wait a minute (words on screen: grievance) I have hinted to him many times that he should buy me a meal, but every time he said he’s busy (words on screen: Rain’s view: Kim is the one who claims to be busy)
Kim: You know how he contacted me? “From next Tuesday onwards I will be on the road. I have time next Friday, so please buy me a meal at that time” (words on screen: general notice)
Kim: I… actually as an artist, I am also busy! (Rain: Oh my god!)
MC: Then did Rain ever treated you for a meal?
Kim: Just once! (words on screen: general notice) I planned to be host then, but while we were having dinner, I kept saying “Don’t you think you are too much? People should pay back hospitality!” So Rain got mad and said “OK, I got it. I pay today!”
Rain: I didn’t get mad! (words on screen: that’s really too much!)
Rain: (words on screen: on the opposite) But Hyun is the same, you have never treated me for a meal after GOD. (words on screen: GOD disbanded 5 years ago!)
MC: Then, Mr. Kim, you really make me speechless (words on screen: these two men are just the same)
Kim: I have something to say about that. (words on screen: justified). I released a personal album “Words I want to say” after GOD dissolved, but it didn’t sell very well. And afterwards I have to attend military service. My monthly salary is only 87,000 won at that time.
Rain: But up till now, my view is still that “hyun you should treat me for a meal”.
MC: What is the age gap between hyun and Rain?
Rain: (laughed). Only 1 year difference.
Huajing: Then you could be called friends.
Rain: No, we can’t be called friends as of yet. I have followed Hyun since I was young, so I have to call him Hyun. (MC: then Kim should treat Rain for a meal) (words on screen: Hyun should pay for the meal).
Rain: Of course, this is my position and I can insist this to the end. (laughed)
Kim: That’s where I disagree. OK, I agree Hyun should pay for the meal. So when this boy said to me: “Hyun, you ask me to play the host, but as soon as I am the host, your are not Hyun to me anymore” (words on screen: younger brother turned into friend)
Of course I replied without any hesitation: “I can call you Hyun, please be the host”. And I called him “Jihoon hyun”!
Kim: As a matter of fact, based on the number of fans, popularity and money, who should be the host?
Xinying: Rain of course!
Kim: And recently he treated me just like friends. He even started talking to me in semi formal language first. (words on screen: use semi formal words to Hyun). I know Jihoon for 10 years, but this guy recently started to talk to me in semi formal style. When he phoned, he should have said “Yes, Hyun”, but now it becomes, “oh, hyun, your song is not bad to listen to recently”. (comment: this related to the different tones in the Korean language which is difficult to be translated properly).
Rain: Hyun is worse than me in this case. JYP is 15 years older than us. (words on screen: shake head). But he uses semi formal language to JYP. (words on screen: no hesitation to use semi formal words). I learn it all from him! (words on screen: suffer from owns actions!)
Rain: But you know, if you look carefully, when JYP and us are together, JYP seemed to become the youngest brother.
Kim: No, JYP is Hyun to me. (words on screen: what are you talking about).
(words on screen: sorry, World Star’s suffering period)
Kim: Actually, JYP really make us feel very relaxed, just like friends. (words on screen: deep relationship between the 3).
Huajing: The Rain that we don’t know about?
Kim: Jihoon has been a friend who will become a star
Huajing: You think like this since you met him as a trainee?
Kim: Right. Talking about the trainee period, he almost had no time for rest. He practiced his dancing non stop. I have gone through the same, so I know how hard it was. Moreover, when you have a successful first album, you tend not to work as hard on the 2nd one. But Jihoon is not like that. This man works harder and harder than before. Looking at him, I realize he is a terrible junior I will have to face.
Kim: But to tell you the truth, I have not expected him to be so prominent. I am very proud of having such a junior.
Rain: I still remember the “bread of tears” story. (words on screen: bread soaked with tears). That day was Christmas Eve. There were 4-5 trainees including myself. We were really hungry so I called Taiwoo hyun. “Hyun, we have a few people here, we want to eat some bread.” And Hyun bought two cases of bread for us.
Kim: At that time our album “Lies” just came out.
Rain: Such a famous star and on Christmas eve, I don’t have anyone else I could call anyway, but they were at the top at that time, and it was during the golden period of Christmas eve. But Hyun came and bought us bread. I am very grateful and I remember this until today.
MC: To Kim, what kind of brother is Rain?
Kim: He’s a younger brother by age, but is more like a senior brother. Watching him so serious with his work, he’s like a senior brother. He really works hard to make Korea known to the whole world, to help Korea develop better as it moves forward.
(words on screen: Proud of the younger brother Rain who lets the world know “Korea”. Hope you will be famous all over the world)
MC: Then to Rain, what kind of brother is Kim?
Rain: Actually he’s a terrible guy, but sometimes he’s a bit….
MC: Sorry everybody
Rain: He will tell me what wouldn’t work. He will grasp me without hesitation. I learn a lot from hyun, and I respect hyun a lot. After we know each other for long, he is like a friend more than a brother. No matter what, I think hyun should have expectation from me.
MC: So if it is not brother, then who should pay for the meal in future.
Rain: I will be the host!
MC: Today Kim revealed to us a lot about you. Do you feel being wronged in some aspects?
Rain: I will say it when he’s gone. (words on screen: thank you for bring us such happy stories, they are like sweet memories.)
