RAIN bio

Korea's number one newcomer RAIN

"RAIN" in terms of music In terms of concept, clothing, and powerful POWERFUL and exquisite dance, they are very different from the existing newcomers in the music industry. As soon as they debuted in 2002, they immediately won the first newcomer award from almost all Korean media. RAIN is Asia's best performer. With his all-round image and strong unique charm, he can be called the most important newcomer in the new generation of Korea.

The first time I saw him, instead of saying that he had a gentle and relaxed image, it was better to say that he gave people a strong feeling. Even Park Jinyong himself has almost become his die-hard fan.

------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------

RAIN before debut

p>

After RAIN successfully became popular, he told the media that he was not a very confident child when he was a child. It was not his dream to be a new idol star who sings and dances on the stage. His current status is not suitable for RAIN when he was a child. It is simply a dream that I dare not dream of. But when he came into contact with dance for the first time, his life changed! From then on, what he cared about most in the world was dance. Dance was not only the source of his self-confidence, but also his life began to have new developments that he could not expect, starting from his desire to be a dancer.

Rain's turning point

In 2000, two events that had the greatest impact on Rain occurred. The first was meeting Park Jin-young, who trained Rain to become a singer and trained him hard. Teacher, the second thing is that my beloved mother passed away. First of all, let’s talk about the process of meeting Teacher Park Zhenyong. When RAIN was in his third year of high school, he joined Park Jin-young’s dance group by chance. During the two-year singing training that was regarded as a secret weapon, he also served as the master's dancers and choreographed the best-selling song "Moonlight Dance" by his senior sister Park Ji-yoon. (Before his debut, he worked with the dance group to choreograph his debut single "Bad Man".) Just as RAIN was filled with joy and working hard to practice dancing and move towards his dream of being a singer, his mother, who was already weak and already sick, became even more ill. worsened. When my mother was admitted to the hospital, Teacher Zhenyong's father and his wife came to visit her. The last words my mother left before she passed away were "take good care of your sister." So RAIN once again vowed in his heart that "he will practice hard and become a first-class singer", and he will definitely be able to buy a house for his father and sister to live in after becoming famous (this dream was realized in April 2003.). Finally made their official debut on April 28 with the song "Bad Man".

------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------

RAIN's first album Rain FIRST DROP

After launching god and Park Ji-yoon, Park Jin-young spent two years cultivating RAIN, a new singer in the music industry. RAIN's first album is not only full of Funky, Hip-Hop, and R&B slow song styles, but also invites Sea from S.E.S. to compose and sing "Like You" and DANNY from g.o.d, one of the Korean R&B groups. "What's love" was created by Park Jinyoung, Junior Sister Star, and DANNY to join the singing team to support RAIN.

RAIN, which boasts strong support from 110,000 people since its debut, held events in April, including a lyrics solicitation event for the song "Why" composed by Park Jin-young, and the event that of course best represents RAIN Among the music style debut single "Bad Man", all those who have seen the director's powerful music video "Bad Man" that depicts action and sad love, the two events combined exceeded 110,000 people. To the general public, this is indeed the strongest way to promote newcomer RAIN, and they think it was successful because of its impeccable planning intentions. I believe that RAIN, a newcomer, will become more famous and join the ranks of popular singers.

RAIN then released the best ballad song "Handshake", which showed RAIN's mature deep voice and was voted for by fans. It also captured many female fans all over Korea with its super upbeat dance rhythm and smile. Not only was RAIN selected as the music for the SK Telcom TV commercial that he endorsed, but he also set a record for RAIN to win the championship on SBS TV for the first time with "Say Goodbye".

Received strong recommendations from all parties as soon as they debuted

God’s DANNY and SES’s Sea participated in the album work. After God 4 showed their musical talents, they still want to use them again. God's DANNY provided his own music creation to RAIN, his junior brother whom he knew very well. It also triggered a discussion. "What's love?" composed by god's DANNY is a repetitive sample, a typical hip-hop style created in groove. The music style has a strong rhythmic impression, and even the new generation female singer LEXY planned by YanGun and God's DANNY themselves have participated in the feature. I have put a lot of effort into this album, hoping that RAIN can be regarded as a big-name and capable singer. The song "Like You", a duet with Sea, is an urban soul-style melody, coupled with a synth that uses electronic filtering techniques, allowing Sea and RAIN's harmonious chorus to be fully expressed. When I heard Sea and RAIN singing by chance, I didn't think they were newcomers and I couldn't help but fall in love with their voices. Sea also proposed to join the ranks of composing music by adding his own lyrics and singing along with RAIN. SES's Sea and god's DANNY participated in RAIN's music work with great enthusiasm and hoped that he would become the strongest musician in the future.

The Rookie King RAIN in 2002

Park Jin-young, the leader of JYP agency and a senior music producer, worked hard to create the halo of the new R&B music genre. In 2002 RAIN won the top ten singers of South Korea's MBC TV station, the 17th Korea Music Awards, and all the new artist awards of SBS KBS KMTV TV station's m.net Music Video Awards

------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------

RAIN’s achievements in other fields

In April 2002, the first album by the Korean R&B Godfather was released in South Korea. After the official debut of the album "FIRST DROP", which was strongly endorsed and produced by Park Jin-young, RAIN swept the music scene with his super powerful and exquisite dance and the cool image that matched the first single "Bad Man". With the privilege of being a super idol singer in Korea, he has signed advertising contracts with well-known Korean brands such as SK Telecom, Samsung Digital Camera, and Student Uniform Company. His prolific advertising has also made him the 2002 Newcomer of Advertising. In addition, RAIN was also chosen as a model by ANDRE KIM, a well-known Korean fashion designer who is always a hot topic in model casting, following Jang Dong Gun, Won Bin, Bae Young Joon, Ahn Jae Wook, Cha Ren Pyo, Ryu Si Won, and Song Seung Heon. artist.

Super news in the advertising industry

Rain, which "asks for 180 million won for a single advertisement in three months", has shot 10 advertisements in the past eight months. The model endorsement fee alone exceeds 2 billion won. The fact that RAIN recently signed a 180 million Korean won advertising contract with Rod Chocolate Company for a single advertisement over a three-month period is a big event that has been revealed for a long time.

This amount is considered to be the second-highest model endorsement fee in history after a big-name celebrity. I received a positive proposal from my connections, "Let's sign an annual contract with 500 million won." An advertising model's endorsement income of 500 million won should become super news in the advertising industry.
