Seriously, I should go die for making fun of people’s accent all the time! But I just love how Koreans in general pronounce V …. B! Pay attention to when singer Rain (used to?) say (i belive in love) you’ll hear in “lobe” it was in BMW commercial thingy!
It’s cute alright!

Even though the entrance into USA market may be failed, I will make it a glory failure!

Rain told us during the exclusive interview with our reporter. This Korean singer is going to hold his concert on Apr 14 at Acer Arena, Sydney. In the 15-minute interview with Korean Herald, Rain repeated his wishes “To enter USA market” “The best performance” several times. Media crews from different countries either staring at this serious interview, or they were busy photographing on Rain. Today is Apr 11, there are 3 more days to go. With the help of lady fans who gathered in front of a restaurant at Double Bay, the reporter simply found this mega star and fixed an interview appointment with him.

“I would like to show the best performance to my Asian fans and ‘Sydney fans’.. Well, I shall say this is a big party before I step on a greater stage.” Rain admitted his difficulties and weaknesses to step out from Asia region. He added, “My performance is perfectly designed, the basic structure will be remained even though there’s always a change in location.”
Since the end of year 2006, Rain is flying over the world for his tour concerts. He had been to USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan. So far, concerts in China, Japan and USA are fixed. So how’s this super star like when he is in the cabin? “Mindmapping and sourcing the ideas for next album, listening to music… I’m learning English as I plan to go USA, so in fact I won’t get bored in the cabin.”
Rain takes the special plane painted with his portrait. Therefore, a senior singer (The Live King in Korea) mentioned “Rain is the most adorable singer” in a TV program. “I’m glad that someone I respect says this. It’s my honor. I feel that I’m blessed by many others and that’s why I have the chance to perform in every corner of the world.” Being the very first Korean singer who flying all over the world in the name of World Tour concerts, “It’s too early to call me ‘an international super star’. It’s my dream, and only when I succeed in USA, I’m eligible for it.” said Rain. “We do come across instablility and unknown hurdles during world tour. I hope these experiences can lay a foundation for my future development…”

Myself after 10-20 years? A smart CEO, a successful enterprenuer!!
He was confident enough, yet his tone was calm and steady. “I won’t feel insecured because of spending less time in Korean market. As a singer, you’ll win everyone’s respect when you put in great efforts in your next album, or else you get criticised badly. Maybe this is the only chance in my life, if I were to give it up (enter USA market) because of Korean market, I’ll regret it.” Rain expressed his opinion.

“Maybe it won’t be successful, and yet I’ll still make it a glory failure.”He continued, “Like holding the sands in your palm, sooner or latter you’ll lose all no matter how tight you hold them. You gotta try to open your palm to hold another sands, try to challenge again.” “Like now I’m travelling overseas, perhaps it’s the climax in my (singer) career,” Later he changed his mind, “But if I spend my time seriously and aggresively, maybe I still enjoy the climax when I am 50 or 60 years old?” He was asked to imagine what would he look like after 10-20 years. “I hope to be a smart CEO, a successful entrepreneur. “Even though it is irrelevant to entertainment industry, I feel like learning management course when I have time.”

What does he normally do?
In his past interviews, Rain did mention “He felt he should practise more even though he’s relaxing and drinking the soju… He didn’t feel like wasting the time for drinking” “When I was still a student, the practices were boring. But now, the practices are my favourite and they are intersting. For me, I’ll prefer to do something I like , and this is my life.” “Now I spend my efforts and passionate on work. Occasionally I will go KTV with my friends and sing some oldies. (Korean).”

Last but not least, the reporter gave Rain a scenario: What will you ask Rain if you are the reporter. Oh well, Rain didn’t have any special question (of course, he is Rain himself laaa!) He only had a few words: A misinterpreted article can be a sharp dagger to hurt people.
