class="at_ttl"Rain Wins Most Influential Korean Artist Award In China

Rain

Singer and actor star Rain was the only Korean artist honored at the 19^th China Music Awards, which took place on April 16 at the Venetian Maco Cotai Arena. The awards ceremony is China's biggest music awards ceremony and was broadcast live in 54 cities.

Rain won the Most Influential Korean Artist Award.

"I want to thank my fans and the China Music Awards for bringing me here," said Rain at the awards ceremony. "I will continue to work hard and show you all my best efforts."

During the ceremony he performed "LA Song" and "30 Sexy," demonstrating the singing talent and dance moves that made him so popular in Korea and throughout Asia.

Rain, who started performing at age 16 in the group Fanclub, has slowly transitioned into acting. He debuted as a solo singer in 2002 and made his acting debut in 2003. His early drama "Full House" with actress Song Hye Kyo won him an award and helped expand his international fan base. And when he finished his most recent k-drama, "My Lovely Girl," with co-star Krystal Jung, he decided to film his next drama in China.

He took a part in the Chinese series "Diamond Lover" which co-starred Tiffany Tang. His role as an aloof perfectionist in the 2015 drama earned him over $5 million. "Diamond Lover" was China's most expensive, non-historical TV production to date. Rain also filmed a 2014 Chinese romantic film "For Love or Money" with actress Liu Yifei.

In an interview about "Diamond Lover" with Chinese media outlet CCTV, the actor said that the experience was great and he learned a lot, but mastering the language was hard.

"Learning Chinese is difficult so I speak a little bit of it in the drama," said Rain. "People sometimes think certain Korean and Chinese words sound similar so it shouldn't be that hard. But to speak with the right tone and emotions is difficult in either languages."

He learned enough Chinese to say thank you when he received his award. He said thank you in Chinese and then proceeded to give the rest of his short acceptance speech in English.

Rain was recently considering a role in the k-drama "The Time I Loved You, 7,000 Days," with Ha Ji Won, but he declined the role which is now being filled by Lee Jin Wook.

Rain Won The Prize of ‘Most Powerful Korean Artist’ in China

[by You-bin Ha] Rain was awarded in one of the best music awards.

Rain won the prize of ‘Most Powerful Korean Artist’ at the 19th China Music Award in Macao. This award was a live broadcast which aired in 54 different districts and Rain was the only Korean artist named for it.

As the representative of K-Pop artists, Rain said, “I want to thank China Music Award and my fans for bringing me here. I will always do my best in everything”.

He focused his activities in acting these days so it was difficult to see him on the stage. But he fulfilled fans’ anticipations in this award by performing ‘30Sexy’ and ‘LASONG’.

Rain had a tremendous popularity since his debut all around Asia. Showing its constant popularity in different fields, he is definitely in the middle of Hallyu. All his albums, dramas and movies received a favorable response from the public especially in China. Now fans’ expectations are rising for his next work. (photo by CUBE Entertainment)

class="entry-title"K-media Claims Kim Tae Hee and Rain are Planning Their Wedding, Rain’s Agency Denies Upcoming Nuptials

I feel like if Rain and Kim Tae Hee started dating five years ago, before he left for the army, theirs would be the K-ent star couple to dwarf all other star couples before them. One is the top solo idol of his generation, with a side gig in acting, while the other is a natural beauty and brains Seoul University grad with a toothy grin, together they have brawn, beauty, and moolah galore. What’s not to love? Sadly timing is everything and Rain’s star got shaken after his military service so now the spotlight on the couple is less intense that it could be.

Still the public is keeping an eye on the A-list pair’s moves to spot signs of impending nuptials, and last week the K-media published a report that the couple was indeed planning to get married. The parents have met, the permission granted, and now it was planning time. Rain’s agency Cube Entertainment promptly refuted that by saying a wedding isn’t in the works right now. Not right now doesn’t mean not somewhere down the line, right?

Other than their Coupang CF together, the couple have been so low key as to have never been photographed together or attended events together. I’m waiting for their wedding, which is happening even if not anytime soon based on industry sources, mostly so I can see their wedding pictorial. I super want to see what the couple’s wedding style is, classy or playful, not to mention all the pretty locales they can pick as their backdrop. Why wait Rain, put on a ring on her!

***********************************************************************

Dear Forum Friends,

The last several months (and years) have been challenging here on the forums with the ever-growing list of technical issues. After much consideration, we’ve decided to move back to Invision (our original forum software) in hopes of greatly improving our forum experience.

As our forum content dates back to October 2005 (since “The Big Crash of 2005”), you can imagine how much data we are talking about. The estimate for the forum migration is one week !! This means that the forum as we know it will be offline so that the data can be migrated safely.

Before you have a heart attack, we will have a temporary forum that you can sign into with your Soompi login. We will have temporary Official Threads that will be merged back into the real forum once we go back online so your posts won’t be lost. Let’s all use this time to get used to the new system, including the staff

Our moving day is next Tuesday, April 28, and the site is scheduled to go offline sometime before noon, Eastern Time (GMT-4). We’re working hard to make this migration as smooth as possible, but these things never go exactly as planned. Thanks in advance for your patience through this process!

Looking forward to better days,

Rain has been popular for his singing and dancing talents since he was a teenager.
As a young teen,Rain discovered his passion for dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade
In order to make his dream of becoming a singer come true, Rain joined a dance music group named "Fan Club".
After releasing its 2nd album in 1999, Fan Club decided to disband.
After the band broke up,Rain didn't want to give up on his music career.
Rain went for lots of auditions before being accepted as a trainee with Park Jin-young (JYP).
Under JYP wings,Rain worked as a backup dancer while learning the skills in dancing and singing.

Three years of hellish training behind closed doors , devoting more than 20 hours each day.
He tore his life into two parts: One half dedicated to singing, the other half to dancing.
This was the life Rain went through before he became a pop sensation.
Rain debuted as a solo singer in April 2002.
