Pop star Rain (Bi), reaching out beyond Asia
   
If you look up the word "bi" in a Korean dictionary, you will discover more than
seven definitions, including ‘a downpour falling to the earth caused by water
vapors in the air cooling down,' ‘a cleaning tool designed to clear away dust and
garbage,' and a ‘monument that is inscribed with characters and intended to
commemorate great figures or achievements.' The word "bi" can be used in
diverse ways depending on the sentence in which you use it, or what you intend to
express. And yet another definition of "bi" just might be added to this official list of
definitions soon: "the name of a pop star that swept Asia beginning in 2005."
Rain, a versatile entertainer who shined from his debut
A new male singer named Bi (Rain) captured the spotlight when he made his debut
in May, 2002. Before that performance, rumors had spread amid the growing
attention focused on him that he was a highly talented singer who would one day
lead the Korean pop music culture, along with jokes that he would be the most
sought-after prize among all the female singers. Besides the buzz, his appealingly
unique name generated further interest. What was the real identity of Bi, or "Rain?
" What did he look like? Bi effectively raised massive curiosity among the public
even before his first show. At his debut concert, he staged a glittering performance
that fully showed off his remarkable dancing and singing skills, effectively
justifying all the rumors about him. Following his dazzling debut that May, he
instantly joined the ranks of the best singers in Korea.
In 2003, he also tried his hand at acting by appearing in the KBS television drama
"Sangdu, let's go school," and demonstrated legitimately strong potential as an
actor. Another KBS drama entitled "Full House," in which he starred in 2004,
proved a huge success, with viewer ratings of over 30 percent for every episode.
Thus, in less than five years after his debut, Bi consolidated his position as the best
singer in Korea as well as a talented actor. Now he is poised to make a foray onto
the international stage in order to spread his music and realize his full vision, which
extends far beyond Korea. He is focusing his first international efforts on Asia.
Bi, best Asian star of the year 2005
In 2005, Bi clinched the Best Buzz Asia from Korea at the MTV Video Music Awards
Japan 2005. He also won the best Korean singer award 2005 at the Mandarin Music
Honors in Taiwan. Having been voted as the best Asian singer by the Taiwanese
media, Bi is positioning himself as one of the most admired Asian stars this year.
Wherever he goes, he generates huge public interest and becomes a hot topic of
conversation. His every move is monitored by the media and draws keen attention
from music fans.
Bi is currently on an Asian music tour which started in Seoul and will travel to
Tokyo and Hong Kong. He is creating and showcasing fresh new spectacles at
every single concert, and tickets are selling out quickly as a result. His first solo
concert in Japan last summer, entitled "Rainy Day Japan" and held at the Tokyo
International Forum, was so popular that all the tickets were sold out 30 seconds
after going on sale. And the tickets for another of his concerts in Taiwan were sold
out the moment they became available. Bi continues to set records in Asia. Now
planning to go beyond Japan and Hong Kong, Bi will make a foray into China by
giving a concert in Beijing.
Bi's personality and charm sweeping Asia
The Japanese pronounce Bi as "Pi," and they also describe the singer with another
term as well. During one of his concerts in Japan, Bi enthralled his fans with a
powerful and masculine performance onstage. But when he chatted with fans after
the concert, he surprised his fans by displaying a boyish and playful demeanor,
earning him the label "Kawai," which means "cute" in Japanese. He is known as a
powerful man onstage and a "cute" persona offstage. It is this characteristic that
makes his fans crazy about him.
Bi is famous for trying his best in whatever he does. He is arguably the best dancer
in the nation, because he learned to dance onstage as a backup dancer for an
already-established singer before his own debut. It is hard to define his dancing
with simple words because it is a mixture of so many diverse elements. He has
created a whole new style of his own by integrating diverse genres of dance over
the course of his long dancing career.
Singer Park Jin-young, who heads the entertainer management company to which
Bi belongs, once told a radio show that "I was always wondering whether [Bi]
understood what I told him because he never replied even when I scolded him.
One day I entered Bi's room, and ended up breaking into tears." Bi, who was then
an aspiring singer, was poor at expressing his emotions verbally to his older
colleague. But what Park discovered in Bi's room was a wall covered with "post-it"
stickers. Every single sticker was filled with notes of what Park had told and
advised him. Bi had written down every single piece of advice his older friend had
given him, and had been doing his utmost to correct his mistakes and improve his
skills.
It can be said that this latent passion for excellence is what made Bi what he is
today. And Bi has great potential for further development because he always tries
his best to sharpen his current skills through ceaseless practice. He is truly a
believer in the saying, "Opportunity visits those who make great efforts." There is
no doubt that Bi will reach beyond Asia to become a global star someday because
of his enormous talent and tireless work ethic.

Asian stars say Rain is the Best Korean Wave Star
Stars from Asia who gathered in Pusan for the second Asia Song Festival commonly said that Rain is the icon who represents the Korean culture in Asia. Ahead of the song festival, Asian stars held a press conference at the Paradise Hotel in Pusan. One common opinion among the stars from Asian countries was that Rain is not only talented in singing but also in acting. Kelly Chen who represented Hong Kong in the song festival said, “Park Ji-yoon had been the most popular Korean star in Hong Kong in the past, but now, Rain who recently held a concert there is the most popular Korean entertainer.” Taiwanese star Su You Feng ( 蘇有朋 ) said, “A lot of the Taiwanese people watch Korean dramas like and . Rain who was on his Asian tour is the most popular Korean singer among the Taiwanese.” Lanna Commins, who took part in the song festival from Thailand said, “The drama in which Rain starred is very popular in Thailand.” Also, the stars from Asia showed a common view that the antipathy against the Korean Wave by certain circles in the Chinese-speaking region is undesirable. Kelly Chen who is gaining popularity by singing the main theme of Daejanggeum in Hong Kong said, “Thanks to the Korean Wave, I had the chance to wear Hanbok, the Korean traditional costume, for 4 days in a week. The costume was very comfortable. I wish the Korean Wave will continue to be popular as it is a channel of cultural exchanges between Asian countries.”

Rain, Taiwanese Singer Lee-hom Wang Sing Duet for Album
2005-12-22
Singer Rain (23) has made headlines, as his Chinese song " erfect Harmony"
(Wanmeidi Hudong, 完美的互動) which he sang jointly with top Taiwanese singer
Lee-hom Wang (or Wang Lihong, 王力宏), has been featured in Wang's latest album
entitled "Gaishi Yingxiong" (盖世英雄, An Outstanding Hero).
It remains to be seen how fans will respond to their duet, because Rain sang the song
in Korea first, and Wang sang his own version to to be mixed in later due to their
busy schedules.
Wang praised Rain for showing his unique talents by singing the song with a perfect
Chinese accent, adding he was impressed by Rain's dancing and singing ability.
The latest joint album production was arranged by Bang Shi-hyuk, a well-known
Korean album producer. Rain and Wang have never met each other in person.
Wang is expected to attend the second round of Rain's concerts to be held in Taiwan
on Dec. 30. The album "Gaishi Yingxiong" will likely come into the spotlight when it is
introduced at a presentation and press conference on Dec. 29.
