class="at_title"K-Pop Playlist: Rain's Return To The Stage Is A Cause For Celebration

By Adrienne Stanley | November 23, 2013

When Rain (Jung Ji Hoon) took the stage at the 2013 MAMA, he established that he is still one of the leading stars of K-Pop. Having completed his military service, which was marred by some controversy, Rain is ready to make a strong comeback. He is one of the leading figures of the Hallyu Wave, having released five full Korean studio albums, starred in two American films, and acted in the popular Korean drama, Full House. His crossover from music into drama and film set the precedent for K-Pop idols training. With a career that began in 2002, Rain has a legendary musical catalog.

Rain's 2013 MAMA comeback stage.

Rain made his debut in 2002 with the JYP Entertainment album, n001. In support of his debut album, Rain released the singles Bad Guy and Handshake.

Bad Guy

Handshake

In 2003, Rain released his second album which was aptly titled, Rain 2. Rain 2 yielded the singles You Already Knew and How To Avoid The Sun, which was the opening song for Rain's 2013 MAMA comeback stage.

How To Avoid The Sun

It's Raining which was released in 2004, continued Rain's career with JYP Entertainment. J.Y. Park produced It's Raining which became known for its title track and the endearingly sweet ballad, I Do.

It's Raining

I Do

The album Rain's World was released in 2006 and was an album heavy on collaborations. On the album, Rain collaborated with luminaries in Korean hip-hop such as Epik High's Tablo, Tiger JK, and Dynamic Duo. With Rain's World, Rain was able to solidify the identity of a Korean pop idol whose influences were primarily from the R&B genre. Although, many differences remain, Rain has a vocal style which is incredibly similar to J.Y. Park.

I'm Coming


In 2007, Rain departed from JYP Entertainment, to begin his own label, J. Tune Entertainment. Rainism was the fifth studio album from Rain and his first since he left from JYP Entertainment. The album yielded both the title track and Love Story as breakout singles.

Rainism

Love Story

The final release by Rain, prior to his military service, was the 2010 EP Back to the Basic. This was the first EP from the artist which yielded the catchy single Hip Song and Love Song.

Hip Song

At MAMA 2013, it was announced that Rain would be making his much anticipated comeback on January 6^th, 2014 with the a teaser photo containing the date and the title Rain Falls Again. Rain is currently signed with Cube DC, which is a subsidiary of Cube Entertainment. From the audience reaction, it is clear that Rain will explode back onto the scene with this release.

[24-Nov-13][chicagonow]15 photos of Bi Rain at the 2013 MAMA Awards that will blow your mind

Posted by memo-rain on November 24, 2013

If you only learned one thing from watching the 2013 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) in Hong Kong this week, it's that RAIN FALLS AGAIN.

Since exiting the military in early July, the world renown singer, actor, and entrepreneur- Bi Rain has been busy back in the studio. One insider said, "He's getting ready for his comeback, and looking for artists to feature [in his album]. There are many artists scheduled to make a comeback in January next year, but Rain's new album will be the first since his discharge [from the military], thus it's become the most anticipated album and the most focused-on by popular music insiders."

But then again, this is no regular comeback. This is the global charting, Ninja Assassin star, US People Magazine top 100 Sexiest People -R A I N.

Need I say more?

Prepare an umbrella for January 6, 2014.

Here are 12 images of Rain from 2013 MAMA performance in Hong Kong. You may scream now....

More from the MAMA after-party: 黎曉靈 Kimmy (Li Xiaoling Kimmy) and Rain. As far as I can tell, she is the founder of an international music foundation, is well known in those circles and seems to be a pretty nice person. Among her list of face to face friends: Han YeSeul, PSY, Paris Hilton (she and Paris just went shopping this past week before the MAMAs, and I do believe that is her and Paris in her Weibo icon), American designer Anna Sui, etc. On her Weibo, where she posted this picture, she describes Rain as a real gentleman.

MAMA: gala of int'l stars

The 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) takes place at the Asia-World Expo Arena in Hong Kong on Friday night. / Korea Times

K-pop artists sweep Asian music awards

By Chung Ah-young

The 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) wowed some 11,000 spectators packing the Asia- World Expo Arena in Hong Kong on Friday night, proving the K-pop craze is in motion.

For this year, G-Dragon from K-pop boy band Big Bang picked up four awards, including Nissan Juke Best Music Video, Best Dance Performance (Male Solo), Best Male Artist and BC UnionPay Artist of the Year. The rising group EXO also grabbed the BC UnionPay Album of the Year for “XOXO.” Veteran singer Cho Yong-pil was awarded with the BC UnionPay Song of the Year for “Bounce.”

Under the slogan of “Music Makes One,” MAMA brought different cultures and languages to promote Asian music to the world. Millions of K-pop fans watched the MAMA awards, a venue for K-pop stars and other international celebrities to come together. It was broadcast in 94 countries around the world.

World superstars like Paris Hilton, YouTube sensation Ylvis and the legendary musician Stevie Wonder made special appearances on the show. They performed in cross-over collaborations ― Wonder and Hoylyn, Aaron Kowk; Ylvis and Crayon Pop; 2NE1’s CL and Icona Pop, for example.

Among others, Wonder gave an impressive remark to musicians and audience attending the show, saying “The most important songs that have moved the world forward have been songs about love and about unity. If we all can come together... we can make a world of difference.”

The American music legend won the “music makes one ambassador award” from Big Bang during the show. “I never imagined I would travel outside of the U.S. and to think that we are here today ... I feel blessed to be part of the music family and I’m so very happy to receive this wonderful honor,” he said.

Wonder performed with Korean singer Hyolyn and Hong Kong’s Cantopop star Aaron Kwok on “I Just Called to Say I Love You” before singing “Lately,” “Isn’t She Lovely” and “Superstition.”

Socialite Hilton presented the award to Big Bang’s G-Dragon, who won the Best Male Artist and Best Male Solo Dance Performance. G-Dragon became undoubtedly the hero of the night. Hilton also gave a performance as her latest incarnation of a DJ.

Norwegian musical comedy duo Ylvis hit the stage with K-pop girl quintet Crayon Pop to perform the band’s signature song and dance. Ylvis became an international sensation with the video “The Fox (What Does The Fox Say)” which has garnered 238 million YouTube hits since its release in September. Ylvis, who sported fox outfits, won the International Favorite Artist Award, and then wore helmets and followed the choreography of the Korean group’s hit song “Bar Bar Bar.” The song also received 11 million YouTube hits, becoming a nationwide sensation. Crayon Pop grabbed the Best New Female Artist prize.

Among its splendid performers, Rain made a surprise appearance to the ceremony after finishing concerts in Osaka on Nov. 21 as part of the Japan tour. He sang “How to Avoid the Sun” and “Rainism,” which was the first official performance after completing his military duty in July.

However, there are still questions regarding its stated aim of bringing “Asian music” to the world given the dominance of K-pop singers rather than expanding to include musicians from other countries. Major J-pop musicians didn’t take part in the show while singers from Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand just conveyed video messages.

First launched in 2009 under the slogan “Asian Wave,” this year’s event marked its fifth anniversary.

itemprop="name"What's your style? Find the perfect man with this K-guy style guide

by KrisE

on Mon, Nov 25, 2013

Do you have a specific guy you usually find yourself attracted to? Maybe you’re super picky and look for a combination of qualities and physical features, or maybe you have no standards whatsoever and just go with whoever gives off the best “vibes.” I thought it would be totally cool to create a guide of styles based on Korean actors and idols that you can use when describing the type of guy you dig, so that the next time someone is curious you can let them know with no problem!

  +1

The other night I was at this bar in Korea Town (YES! It was the same night of the INFINITE concert and the same bar where I got trapped in the bathroom stall which you can read all about here)

  +1
Anyway, while I was there this oppa from Seoul was all like “sooo whats your style?” and I was all like “ummm my style is Lee Jong Suk.” Outside of our K-World, “style” actually refers to “type” so whenever someone is like “oh what’s your guy/girl style” they’re asking you your type. Now for me personally, whenever I'm chatting with a Korean person from Korea about my style, I find it easier to just name an idol or actor who embodies the qualities and attributes I find attractive, jusssttt in case we're having slight communication issues as far as not really understanding a phrase or word in English. For example, you can say something like, "I like a cute style like Kang Min Hyuk," or you can be really specific like "I like a cute style like Kang Min Hyuk, but eyes like Yoon Si Yoon, and a body like Rain."

Now get scrolling and choose your style!

skipped.     .     .    .     .

skipped.     .     .    .     .

10. Gym Rat Style

Rain and Taecyeon represent all the guys who make fitness a major part of their life. They have chocolate abs, great back lines and amazing arms. Their faces may not be absolutely to die for by industry standards (or your standards), but who's really looking at it anyway when they've got bodies like that!? This is your style if a great body trumps the rest!

The biggest names in South Korean pop music have battled it out for top honors at the 15th annual Mnet Asian Music Awards on Friday. G-Dragon has won the artist of the year award and EXO has won for album of the year.

Apart from the awards themselves, the 4 hour ceremony is packed with high energy performances. They include not only Asian acts, but also Stevie Wonder and this year’s youtube break-out act Ylvis.

Stevie Wonder is the recipient of this year’s Music Makes One Award. He sings with Hong Kong A-lister Aaron Kwok and Hyo Lyn from Korean girl-band SISTAR.

Norwegian pop duo Ylvis receives the award for International Favorite Artist.

South Korean girl band Crayon Pop takes home the Best New Female Artist Award. Together they deliver an entertaining performance of their hit Bar Bar Bar.

One of the highlights of the show is the appareance of South Korean pop sensation Rain. Wearing a hot pink blazer and black pants, he performs How to Avoid the Sun before showing off with the dance hit Hip Song.

Socialite Paris Hilton presents the award for Best Male Artist to G Dragon.

G Dragon, South Korean Pop Star, said, "Thank you so much. You’ve given me so many awards today. I was very happy to deliver a variety of performances for you. I’ll work harder to perform even better in the future."

Riding high on a successful solo career, G Dragon also takes home the Artist of the Year, Best Dance Performance, and Best Music Video awards. The star performs solo before being joined by his band members on stage. At the presser after the show he says it was the group performance that made him nervous.

"It’s been a while since all the Big Bang members performed together, so we were very worried at first. Thankfully, I’m happy that we were able to enjoy ourselves and perform well. I am so moved by all the attention from fans all over the world." G Dragon said.

Boyband EXO beats tough competition to nab Album of the Year with their hit-album XOXO. The leader of the group, Suho, thanks the fans on behalf of the band.

Sohu, Member of EXO, South Korean Pop Star, said, "Thank you for liking our new interpretation of the songs ’Wolf’ and ’Growl’ at this year’s MAMA. We were not competely satisfied with our performance. We will try our best to perform it perfectly it next time."

This is not the first time that the MAMA awards show has been held outside of South Korea. In previous years it has been hosted in Macao and Singapore. The show was broadcast to 94 countries and regions with an estimated 2.4 billion viewers globally.
