Rain in an interview with KBS2 Entertainment News aired on April 17th, 2010


0:34~0:39

Hi, KBS2 Entertainment News family.

Long time no see.

It's so good to see you, and I've wanted to see you.

0:51~1:06

At the same time, 'Rainism' and 'Love Song' were made by myself.

'Love Song' is a simple and sentimental ballad song mixed with dance.

1:36~1:47

Everyone recommended actress 'Han Ye-Seul' who best fits 'Love Song' music video's heroine.

During the shoot, I was able to go cheerfully about my work because she's really an outgoing and bright actress. She'll be remembered by us all as an individual who always tried to make people happy.

1:48~1:53

It goes without saying that she is so beautiful.

She is an actress and little wonder she is so beautiful.

2:05~2:26

At 16, I made my debut as one of an idol group's members, but our boss fled to somewhere else after causing the company to go bankrupt. After that, I joined JYP's company at 18. Ten years have passed since then.

2:27~2:30

I think 'The Way To Avoid The Sun', the title track of the songs in my 2nd album, played a crucial role in the way forward.

2:42~2:53

When I was active as a singer with 'The Way To Avoid The Sun', regulations for the broadcast were greatly reinforced, nevertheless, I rent my sleeveless shirt, doing my dance performance during live broadcasts.

2:59~3:10

That's why I even made an apology to the board members for what I had done. However, my performance got an explosive response from the audience. After that, the regulations seem to have been relaxed when male stars rend their shirts during their performances.

3:12~3:16.

And, to this very day, I've come to rend my shirt since that time.

3:16~3:48

Dance performance as the soul and the feeling has taken me in comparison with the past.

15 years later, now I seem to get to know the real meaning of dance.

4:13~4:44

At that time, I was down and out after gaining publicity, so I tried to break new ground in the showbiz and to see the world. I wanted this pioneer would really help my juniors out.

4:47~5:24

I think Korea has already had much impact on Asian culture. (Under those circumstances), it is not acceptable for me to give it a lick and a promise although this world-wide economic slump is hurting everyone, and despite adverse circumstances.

So, I invested so much time and money in this album and that's why this album is prodigious in terms of quality.

Although production costs are high, I can make the business pay off by featuring in advertisements. I meant it for a joke.

5:29~5:35

As you might be aware, actually, what attracted the audience to me seemed to be my sense of humor when I debuted.

6:03~6:07

In the video, I look very fat as if I'm free from bread and butter worry.

At that time, I called JYP right after the year-end ceremony.

6:16~6:32

JYP and I share the same interests, so we're so happy each other.

JYP and I even swear at the companies of each of us in the front of each other.

The two of us click really well.

6:36~7:00

There is a rule in the showbiz. If you try not to bankrupt your company when you are your own boss, you should listen to other people's advice.

7:04~7:16

My motto is 'Endless Patience, Endless Effort, and Endless Modesty'.

Q: Why did you decide in that way?

I'm just pretending to care. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I said it just for fun.

7:23~7:29

After 10 years, I hope I'll never become effeminate and I'll be a good example for my son.

7:30~7:42

I think people should not apply any epithet to a real top star.

One name called Rain is much. So, I'll do my best by that day they would not do so.
