RAIN bio
Korea's #1 rookie RAIN
"RAIN" is a newcomer to the music scene. RAIN" is very different from the existing newcomers in terms of music, concept, clothes, and powerful powerful dance. RAIN is the first newcomer who won almost all the awards for newcomers in Korean media right after his debut in 2002, and he is the newcomer of the new generation in Korea with a strong charisma and all-around image of Asia.
When I saw him for the first time, I thought he had a strong feeling rather than a gentle and relaxed image. Even Park Joong-yeong himself is on the verge of becoming his die-hard fan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIN before his debut
RAIN spoke to the press after his success in becoming a star, saying that as a child he was not a very confident child. He said that he was not a very confident child, and it was not his dream to be an idol star who sang and danced on the stage, and that his current status was a dream that he could not even dream of. But when he was first introduced to dance, his life changed forever! Since then, dance has been his main concern in the world, not only is it the source of his confidence, but his life has evolved from being a dancer to something he never expected.
RAIN's Turning Point
The year 2000 was the year of the two most important events in RAIN's life, the first one was meeting Mr. Park Joong-yeon, who trained RAIN to become a singer, and the second one was the death of his beloved mother. First of all, I would like to talk about how he met Mr. Park, who he met by chance when he was in his third year of high school and joined Park's dance group. During the two years of singing training as a secret weapon, RAIN also worked as a dancer for his teacher and choreographed the best-selling song 'Moonlight Dance' for his older sister, Park Ji-young. (Before his debut, he choreographed his debut single 'Bad Man' with his dance group.) While RAIN was practicing hard to make his dream of becoming a singer, his mother, who was already weak and sick, got sicker. When his mother was admitted to the hospital, Mr. Jung Young's father and his wife came to visit her. His mother's last words before she passed away were "take good care of your sister". RAIN once again vowed to practice hard to become a top singer and to buy a house for his father and sister after he became a famous singer (this dream was realized in April 2003). The dream was realized in April 2003. On April 28th, he made his debut with the song "Bad Man".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIN's debut album HATSUYA FIRST DROP
Park Joong-yeong's debut album was released after the release of RAIN's debut album is not only full of funky, hip-hop and R&B slow songs, but also features S.E.S's Sea's "Like You" and DANNY of g.o.d., one of the R&B troupes in Korea, who sang in the album, which was written by Park Jung-young, his younger sister, Star, and DANNY. The song "What's love" was written by DANNY of g.o.d, one of Korea's R&B groups, and sung by Park Jung-young, his sister Star, and DANNY, who joined the group to sing in support of RAIN.
RAIN, who claims to have 110,000 strong supporters since his debut, held activities in April, including the lyrics collection for the song "Why" composed by Park Joong-yeong, and the debut single "Bad Man," which of course best represents RAIN's music style, and those who have seen the director's music video "Bad Man," which depicts action and sadness in love. The two campaigns together attracted more than 110,000 people. To the general public, this was indeed the strongest way to promote newcomer RAIN and was considered a success due to the flawless planning. It is believed that RAIN's popularity as a newcomer will increase and he will be able to join the ranks of popular singers.
Rain's song "Handshake," which was voted by fans as the best lyrical song that showed his mature voice, and "Instead of Saying Goodbye," which captured the hearts of female fans all over Korea with its super danceable rhythm and smile, was chosen as the music for SK Telcom's TV commercials that he endorses, and was RAIN's first ever number one song on SBS TV. The song "Instead of Saying Goodbye" was chosen as the song for the SK Telcom TV commercials, which was RAIN's first hit on SBS.
At the time of debut, it was highly recommended by various parties
DANNY of God and Sea of SES participated in the album work, and after showing his musical qualification in the episode of God 4, DANNY of God, who wanted to play it again, offered his younger brother RAIN, who he has known for a long time, his own music composition, and it sparked a discussion. What's love?" composed by DANNY of God is a repetitive sample with groove and typical hip-hop style. The song has a strong rhythmic impression, and even new generation female singer LEXY and DANNY of God, who is a member of YanGun's project, participated in the featuring. I hope that RAIN will be recognized as a big name vocalist as he has put his heart and soul into the album. The song "Like You" with Sea is an urban soul style melody with synth using electronic filtering techniques, allowing Sea and RAIN to fully express their harmonized vocals. After hearing Sea and RAIN's voices by chance, they didn't think they were new, but they fell in love with their voices, and Sea proposed to add her own lyrics and sing along with RAIN, thus joining in the creation of music. Sea of SES and DANNY of God, who participated in RAIN's music project with great enthusiasm, praised him and said that he will become the strongest musician in the future.
2002 Rookie King RAIN
With the aura of a new R&B music style created by Park Joong-yeong, the leader of JYP agency and a veteran music producer, RAIN won the MBC Top Ten Singers 17th Korea Music Awards, SBS KBS KMTV m.net Music Video Awards, and all the rookie awards of the Korea Music Awards in 2002. In 2002, RAIN won the 17th Korea Music Awards on MBC, and the All New Artist Award at the SBS KBS KMTV m.net Music Video Awards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIN's achievements in other fields
In April of 2002, he released his first album in Korea. After making his debut in Korea with his first album 'First Rain FIRST DROP', which was endorsed and produced by the godfather of Korean R&B, Park Joong-yeong, RAIN, who swept the music industry with his powerful and exquisite dance and cool image in line with his debut single 'Bad Man,' immediately signed a number of prestigious labels, such as SK Telecom, Samsung Digital Camera, and Student Clothing Company, to a contract which most of the super idol singers in Korea can only get. RAIN's prolific advertising campaigns have helped him to become the 2002 New Artist of the Year. In addition to that, RAIN was also chosen as a model after Jang Dong Gun, Won Bin, Bae Yong Joon, Ahn Jae Wook, Cha Ren Watch, Ryu Shi Won, and Song Seung Heon by ANDRE KIM, a famous Korean fashion designer who is always talking about model casting.
Super news in the advertising industry
RAIN, who has filmed 10 ads in the past 8 months and paid more than 2 billion won for modeling endorsement alone, has recently signed a 180 million won ad contract with Rod's Chocolate Company for a single advertisement to be filmed in a period of 3 months, which is a big deal for him. It's a big event that came to light late. This amount is the second highest modeling endorsement fee of all time after the big celebrities, and he accepted a positive proposal from his relations, "Let's sign a yearly contract for 500 million won". The 500 million won for modeling endorsement should be a super news among the advertising industry.
