Rain Confesses, “I Was Tied Up With Female Stars Who Didn’t Hesitate To Make Moves On Me After My 2nd Album”

During the pre-recording of KBS ‘Win Win Show’ which will be aired on April 13th, Rain confessed, “I was tied up with female entertainers who didn’t hesitate to make moves on me after my 2nd music album.”

“At that time, I didn’t even know why they did like that. When each of the women asked me over for dinner, I thought to myself, ‘What’s up with her?’. So, we had dinner and just broke up.”

“I’m always trying to date with marriage in mind when I start a romantic relationship with anyone. I’m dreaming of becoming an ideal husband when I’m married.”

He revealed the secret to his date, “I was frequently difficulty with my date partner because we crowded together in such a confined space when we were in the car, therefore, big spaces for dating were needed. That’s why I would enjoy getting out with one among them. Namsan, Cheongpyung, and Dobongsan were perfect for the date course.”

Also, he said that he would use disguises, “When I went to the amusement park I usually like with my friends or went there alone, protective clothing such as wide-brim hats and long sweatsuit covered myself. In this way, I was not recognized and mingled freely with the crowds.”

Rain, “I Was So Proud Of Myself For Not Giving Up Regardless Of My Success”

During KBS 2TV’s ‘Win Win Show’ aired on April 13th, Rain said, “I like a pure and innocent woman during the day time, while I like such a woman who is too harsh on me with her wild charm during the night time.”

About the reason why he broke up with his girl friends, he expressed, “Love is what fills the void, but I couldn’t. Because the dating hours didn’t suit each of our schedules.” Continuing, “When I rode high, she felt she was inferior to me and vice versa.”

“When there is a woman who captivates my heart, I can’t get close to her and are just worried.” and “I have a soft spot for my girl friend. My own personality you’ve never expected would be shown only to her.”

About the reason why he has separated from JYP, ” I wanted to make my own nest, being parted from him. I’ve never regretted being independent of him.”

And he chatted up the guests with a tongue-in-cheek remark, “I think I’ve already surpassed JYP as an entertainment, because he’s never entered overseas markets and never boarded his own private plane, nevertheless, he’s never even appeared in any TV dramas or movies and never won the top award in the awards ceremony for the best singer of the year.”

And he expressed his failure, “It’s worth attempting even though I fail. That could be an education for my future son. Without my failure, I would have become just one of dance singers.”

“Compared with my beginning, MBLAQ is not competent as I thought not to put too fine an edge upon it. I was better off than MBLAQ at that time, but JYP said he had thought that way about my beginning. I’m feeling up to taking his advice.”

Singer ‘Kim Tae-Woo’, one of the special guests, complained to Rain, “Rain has never paid for meals. He is such an awful miser.” For this, Rain expressed, “I always think it is a matter of course that Hyung (older brother or older friend) pays for the food, but I’ll get the bill next time.”

And, Rain said he wants to travel around the world by himself, “I’ve accumulated so many frequent-flyer miles that I can travel around the world. After 4~5 years, I want to backpack around the world by myself.”

Rain expressed the toughest part for him during the Ninja Assassin shooting, “It was so hard I had ever thought to the limit. I even wanted my flight would crash. My loneliness was hard to bear, but I thought, “It’s bad enough not to have married yet.” The shooting, meanwhile, had been over. Soon after filming wrapped, the director gave a bottle of Soju (Korean liquor) to me, so I drank down. I was so proud of myself for not giving up regardless of my success.”

Also, although Rain didn’t have enough strength left to hold out much longer, he won the wrestling game after a breathtakingly close contest in the middle of Myung-dong, Seoul.

Meanwhile, ratings for the program ‘Win Win Show’ where Rain appeared was unusually high with a 12.2 percent viewing rate, passing ‘SBS TV’s popular show program ‘Strong Herat’ (10.7%) aired at the same time, for the first time. On this day, ‘Win Win Show’ recorded the highest ratings ever in its history.

It reminds me why I have to take diet, and it motivate me effectively” Also, Rain said “Water helps rid of body waste, it can reduce your eating, so drink more water”

In Spite of Rain’s Perfect Figure, There Is A Weak Point In It

Cabel channel SBS E!TV ‘E!News Korea – Star Q 10′ will concentrate on world star Rain.

Rain was in the spotlight that he had to be disciplined severly and had his perfect figure during the Ninja Assassin shooting.

Rain’s former personal trainer appeared in this program and expressed, “Compared with others, Rain trained awfully hard. When he was on diet, he used to put a memo about what he wants to eat on the refrigerator, and ate all the foods after his diet.”

“Diabetes which killed his mother is hereditary, so there is a chance he may suffer from it too. Thus, he was training hard, being sensitive to that.”

“Although he thoroughly exercises to keep himself in good shape that much, there is a weak point in his body. His muscles tend to slacken, he once neglects to exercise any further.”

It is said, in spite of this weak point, he has his own special method of keeping his body in shape. His own special method will be revealed in ‘E!News Korea – Star Q 10′ at 8pm on the 14th.

Rain Will Work With Top Class Actors From Many Countries In Next Hollywood Movie

Another Hollywood movie^^ I'm pretty sure this is World of Warcraft >.<

(Only Rain part in the article that says, ‘Something good might happen to the stars targeting the overseas markets.)

Singer and actor Rain who starred for the first time in Hollywood movie Ninja Assassin last year, is expected to appear in another Hollywood movie where top class actors from many countries will appear.

Rain said, “In the movie, a number of warriors will carry out dangerous missions. I’ll probably act with several actors from many countries, but I can’t release any specifics regarding the movie because the offer has been accepted, subject to contract.”

Thus Rain’ll be able to take his career in Hollywood a step further beyond the limit of the very real problem Asian actors have no alternative but to face even though they are the stars of Hollywood movies.

Rain had the Nickname ‘Bloody’ on Ninja set

Rain has revealed that he was called ‘Bloody’ on the Ninja Assassin set.

The Korean star plays avenged deadly assassin Raizo in James McTeigue’s martial arts-action film, and recalled often being covered in “sticky” goo, to recreate the bloody look.

“When we were working on Ninja Assassin, my nickname was Bloody – ‘Hey Bloody, hey Sticky! Where are you going?’” he laughed.

James added: “‘Hey Bloodman, get over here! Bring your cuts over here – where are you going with that?’ He was covered head to toe in corn syrup, prosthetics… blood I meant, not corn syrup.”

The director also praised his lead actor for enabling him to make the film without using many special effects, or use wires.

“I guess it was kind of an aesthetic way I wanted to go with the action sequences,” he said.

“Chad Stahelski and Dave Leech, who were the action choreographers, pulled in this team that enabled us to do it, like martial artists from all over the world – Parkour guys from Europe, free running guys from Europe – and then being able to put Rain in the mix and know that he’d be able to do those things, and do them safely and not have to be attached to wires was great, just being able to change the way you normally shoot things.”

Okay Bloody...Let's get married!!!!

XD

Rain's fidelity which shined in the heavy snows with taking the subway in 10 yearsl

Omo i forget to say...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
New Year with New Heart >_<

During this winter's record snows in the central part of the country on the afternoon of the 4th, Rain showed off his fidelity to the event hall located in Yeoido by subway in order to attend the first birthday party of the representative's son.

It's very unusual for a top star to use public transportation, particularly when it comes to a world star like Rain who is widely acknowledged in the world market, including in Asia.

When the traffic was paralyzed by the heavy snow that had fallen from dawn before the event, it turned out that Rain was taking the subway and walking toward Yeoido with MBLAQ's members produced by himself.

Rain who pushed his way through the heavy snows and showed up the event hall, said with a laugh, "I'm filled with emotions as I took the subway in 10 years."

On this day, they say Rain took the subway with Seungho and G.O. who are MBLAQ's members produced by himself, being escorted by a bodyguard in plain clothes prepared for every eventuality.

Fortunately, the originally feared accident didn't happen thanks to their covered faces and bodies with mufflers and thick coats.

Meanwhile, Rain has returned home and been taking a break since the great success of his concert in Las Vegas late last year, and he'll go into action for the first time in the new year with his Asia tour encore concert in Osaka Jo Hall of Japan upcoming 23rd and 24th.

he...wonder how he can surpass all the rest of Korean staring at him...xD

Rain Says, “I’m Sure Movie’s Color Line Will Be Broken Someday In USA”

It's been along time i'm not loging in here^^
I'm back even no one really views my page =_= hahaha just for fun!
kekeke xD

“I’m sure movie’s color line will be broken some day in USA.”

Rain who has brought his major inroad in the American market one step closer by hollywood movie Ninja Assassin which was his first starring role, is filled with anticipation that Westerners will get rid of their prejudice against Asians.

In a recent interview with Yon Hap news, Rain said, “There is surely a limit to Asians’ role in Hollywood movies, but the time will come soon when we shall rid ourselves of the limit.” and “If I can’t penetrate it, it should be the responsibility of the next person. I notice piecemeal changes in the world’s market.”

He added, “When I said I would star in Ninja Assassin, they were pretty skeptical because they had preconceptions about Asians’ petite body, but the natives who saw my figure and actions in the movie, have flashed a thumbs-up after strong openings, so I’m very glad.”

“I’m very happy to see that they seem to have slighty gotten rid of their prejudice Asians. I think we have to bet on merit because we feel that more Americans are becoming aware of Asians.”

Rain’s currently been deliberating over selecting the next movie he wants among several scripts.

He's right...keep fighting Rain!!!
