Wen is a legend at any time.
No matter whether Rain will go higher and further in the future, he will occupy a place when people review the history of Korean music. His debut, popularity and accession to the WTO are all part of the legend. He made his debut in the heyday of the Korean Wave, became popular in the era of advocating beautiful men, and turned his attention to further Asia and the United States at a young age. We can always hear two kinds of voices about rain. People who like him praise him for being brave and doing things that others dare not do. People who hate him say that he is too ambitious and unrealistic, waiting for him to fall. But no matter what the outside world said, he was unmoved and stuck to his plan. He not only became a good singer, but also became an actor and even a cross-border businessman.
He changed the public's aesthetics. Before him, people obviously preferred men with heavy eyebrows like Zhang Dongjian, and from him, men with small eyes and single eyelids can also be called "beautiful teenagers", and people's tolerance for appearance has reached an unprecedented level. Now all kinds of handsome guys are blooming everywhere in Korean entertainment circle, partly because of the rain, right? It was not until later that he revealed in an interview that he had been to a plastic surgery hospital with his agent, but he finally gave up plastic surgery because he felt that what could be more important than the truest face? "I'm just a performing artist, so I also need private space, but I still want to present the real side to everyone as much as possible."
From poor boy to superstar
Rain told the media after his success that he was not a very confident child when he was a child, and it was not his dream to be an idol star standing on the stage singing and dancing. His present state is unimaginable for Rain when he was a child.
In 2000, two things happened that had the greatest impact on my life. The first thing is to meet Mr. Park Yong Yong, who trained Rain as a singer. The second thing is the death of his beloved mother. Rain accidentally joined Park Yong Yong's dance company when he was in senior three. Two years after she was trained as a secret weapon, she also served as the captain of a dance team, and
Choreography of Park Ji Yeon Senior's best-selling song "Moonlight Dance". Just as Rain was trying to practice dancing and marching towards the singer's dream, her mother's already weak condition worsened. When my mother was in hospital, Mr Chi Yong's father and wife came to see the doctor. My mother's last words before her death were "Take good care of my sister". So Rain once again vowed in his heart to "practice hard and become a first-class singer". After becoming famous, he could buy a house for his father and sister (this dream came true in April 2003). )。
In the eyes of the public, Rain is a busy man. Although dragons always lack tails, once they appear, they will definitely make big moves. Although Rain's work involves many aspects now, the singer is still his job, and he always wants to sing for everyone as a singer at the right time. Last year's album "Back to Nature" was the product of his busy schedule. The original schedule has to be postponed, so what about the two months that are vacant for no reason? Thinking about it, Rain decided to prepare a new album while learning to write lyrics and music. In this album, we saw the change of rain. He is no longer the dancer who is hot and easy to tear his clothes on the stage, but a little more silent.
Rain has always wanted to create his own world through music. He is the master of that world. Starting from his third album "It's Rain", he created the world of Rain and Rainism. Even after leaving Park Yong Yong, who saw him off to the door, he carried out his own ideas without any confusion. "Don't forget your innovative spirit" is what he often tells himself. It is this idea that made him become a superstar from a penniless teenager.
As an actor, Rain likes American veteran movie star Al Pacino very much. His biggest dream is to make a movie with his idol one day. So far, he has made two American movies, Fast Racing and Ninja Assassin. Although it is not a blockbuster movie, it is still worth remembering for Rain to change from a supporting role to a leading role. When filming Ninja Assassin in America, he also kept a desperate posture. In addition to being constantly injured in filming, in order to present a better figure, he only ate chicken breast and vegetables for eight months, and finally he didn't want to eat any more.
Rain has also received many screenplays in the United States recently, but in order to join the army at the end of this year, Rain refused many invitations. He said that he must enter regular military service, not public service. As for the navy, army or air force, he is still considering.
Fight for people who hate me.
In recent years, Rain's tentacles have gradually extended to the commercial field, registering companies, introducing new people and creating clothing brands. We can't say how successful these undertakings are, but these are all attempts by rain. He wants to prove that he has many other talents besides being a singer and an actor. However, since he entered the business field, there have been more and more criticisms about him. As the saying goes, the gun hit the first bird, and countless misunderstandings and accusations surrounded him. He felt very wronged. He said he was just an investor, not an operator. He said that money is not the ultimate goal of his hard work, because as long as you work hard, money will naturally go into your pocket. He prefers the sense of fulfillment in his work and the sense of accomplishment after achieving his goals.
Different from the mutual support among the members of the group, from the beginning, Rain was alone, just like the ninja assassin he played. Every step he takes contains his greatest will, and every choice he makes is what he thinks. For him, nothing is happier than realizing his own ideas. Perhaps it is this attitude that makes him criticized, but he is immersed in joy and has no time to take care of these superfluous things. He said he couldn't fall for three reasons. First, he is fighting for his family; Second, he struggles to eat delicious food every day; The third reason is interesting, for those who hate him. "In this world, there are people who like me unconditionally, people who don't know who I am, and people who hate what I do. Whenever I hear such people's accusations, I must want to make some achievements for them. Even if you hear bad comments, it doesn't matter at all. To be honest, I still like those criticisms.
