Korean to Chinese: EuhHye@Bi withRain
Chinese to English: huhuhuhu
MCs: Kim chengyou, Cui huating, Kim xinying, Taiyan (Girls Generation), Yourong (2pm)
Kim: Hello. Nice to meet you (Rain also happily waving his hands and said “Nice to meet you”) Because Rain is World Star, so we have to be international in our greetings! ^^
Yourong: Why use such old fashioned words like “hello”. We should say “Yo! Rain is coming!" This is true foreign style greeting.
Rain: Yourong didn’t talk like this before (Yourong bowed his head: Rain brother)
Kim: From today, all guests coming to our Win Win Show have to do a self introduction. Please, who are you?
Rain: I am Kim chengyou’s neighbour, and I personally know his daughter quite well. I am Rain, who is coming back with my new album.
Kim: How do you feel coming back as a singer after one and half years?
Rain: Just a few years’ time and there are so many idol groups. I want to hurry up and do my activities together with them. (words on screen: Golden time of idol group)
Xinying: Only doing activities as a singer?
Rain: Of course I have other ultimate goals.
Xinying: You mean falling in love activities?
Rain: Of course!^^
Huajing: Oh, artist activities, love activities (the two words sound similar in Korean). (Words on screen: two birds with one stone, wanting both work and love)
Kim: Actually you may be considered as a “senior idol”. Do you have ways to compete with them?
Rain: I can’t be called an “idol” now, because the freshness has gone. From now on I plan to show you all my sticky side… (laughed)
Diversified attention. Yourong & Taiyan’s
Taiyan: Many domestic fans are waiting for Rain’s come back. Now is the time to answer audience’s queries.
Yourong: Diversified attention. Yourong & Taiyan’s 앙 (a spoiled expression)
The MCs said Yourong and Taiyan’s앙 today is 2% lacking. Therefore we need the senior idol to demonstrate
Rain: I did this quite frequently 8 years ago. (Words on screen: frequently made 앙 when as young as Yourong). I am very confident doing this.
Kim: Before we listen to the questions, which question do you think most audience will ask?
Rain: The 1st one may be you are getting older now, will you still continue dancing? The 2nd one may be have you watched X rated movies?
Taiyan: Why do you choose a ballad this time? Is it because it’s too hard dancing as you get older?
Rain: Because I want to show a new trend – you could dance even during a ballad song. Actually I had this idea at “It’s Raining”. I didn’t do it with JYP, I did it after I am independent.
Taiyan: I hear that you wrote the music and the lyric yourself?
Rain: Right! It’s about a story with an ex girl friend. I watched on DVD that a boy lingered in front of the girl’s house after they separated, therefore I wrote the lyrics like that. (MC : lingering in the rain?). Not in the rain, but there was the experience of waiting in front of girl friend’s house.
Xinying: Can’t let him go off like that! Please perform in front of us! (words on screen: The Song to Make You Stay: Rain thinking about his girl friend and wrote the song and the lyric).
Taiyan: How may air mileage have you accumulated?
Rain: May be about 670,000 km. In 4-5 years I wish to travel on my backpack. Also want to travel around the world.
Yourong: I hear that Rain has his private jet!
Rain: At the time of “World Tour”. There were about 300 staff.
Huajing: So you could run about inside your jet?
Rain: Actually I will hide my own character when there are girls present, especially in front of beautiful flight attendants.
Kim: There are altogether 6638 questions from the audience. Out of these, is there one that you personally want to answer? (moving quietly towards Rain) I am personally curious if you have watched X rated movies. Can you answer this?
Rain: I have graduated! I missed a lot of X rated movies during senior high, so I have graduated now.
Yourong: Er, excuse me, it’s a question that Taiyan wants to ask: Bi Oppa, whom do you want to date amongst the members of Girls Generation?
Xinying (saying rather bitterly): This is the world where only the No. 1 will be remembered (everyone heard this and laughed)
Rain: I like all the members of Girls Generation (words on screen: managing image?)
Kim: Then whose name do you remember first?
Rain (facing a very strong question): Wow, you have become very capable!
Kim: Ah, what happened to you today to treat your brother like that…
Rain: Actually, I first remembered Taiyan’s name, because when the album was out, Taiyuan was always in the very front and in the very middle. Also we have been to the same TV program.
Kim watching Rain Part 1. I have surpassed JYP
Kim: Now we have to ask some spicy and deeper questions. You’ve got to feel nervous!
Rain: Shouldn’t I feel excited? I prefer spicy questions!
Kim: I have surpassed JYP.
Rain (shaking his head): This question!!
Kim: Wait, I will give you ample time to answer later. Now tell me how old are you?
Rain: 29 (words on screen: Born 1982, now 29)
Kim: I think you have already surpassed your mentor JYP (Rain shaking his head). How do you feel?
Rain: As an artist, I want to surpass him.
Kim: Didn’t I say it just now, you have surpassed him. In which aspects you still want to surpass him?
Rain: Isn’t there a cool way to answer? I’ve surpassed JYP, I have surpassed him long time ago! Isn’t it? Has he tackled the overseas market? Has he got a private jet? Has he filmed any drama series? Has he got any grand award?
Huajing: Didn’t Rain even surpass JYP in terms of love affairs rumours?
Rain: Me? That you don’t understand! Although I can’t make it public here, but Hyun has a lot of love affair rumours as well.
Kim: Didn’t you say you two were very relaxed together. Then what is the real reason you left JYP?
Rain: I want to leave home to try build a nest of my own. He agreed to my ideas happily. I’m very grateful about this.
Kim: Did you ever regret after you left JYP?
Rain: Never. I think I must take all kinds of challenge when I am young, and try to taste not only success but also failure. This way when I am 40 or 50 and have my own children, I will have enough stuff to educate them. If I only choose a safe road to walk, I won’t be where I am now. If that’s the case, may be to all of you, Rain may be only just a dance singer.
Huajing: Our Jihoon must have earned a lot of money right? Aren’t you living in a big house? Kim lives next to you right?
Kim: Ai, this kid’s house is bigger than mine!
Huajing: I heard that Rain is rich with fixed assets. Kim too.
Kim: Oh oh, this kid’s building is much bigger than mine!
Rain: To tell you the truth, I had a very hard time when I was small. At Christmas in 1999, my mother was seriously ill, but I didn’t even had 100 won pocket money at that time. JYP’s office was quite small then, and he always dropped some pennies on the floor. I picked up the money to buy instant noodles and milk. At that time, I even caught skin disease because I couldn’t take a shower after dance training.
I made up my mind then: I must buy a big house for the whole family to live together, to enable us to eat what we want to eat. I could afford to buy anything my father wants. I would be a good brother who could give pocket money to my sister. This is my wish.
Kim watching Rain Part 2. It seems only ordinary people could have ordinary love courtship.
Kim: I think only ordinary people could have ways for an ordinary love courtship.
Rain: It’s difficult for me because many people know me. Seem you are the exception.
Kim: Do you have any experience of dating non artists ordinary girls?
Rain: Yes, during my high school.
Kim: What about after your debut?
Rain: Yes. I would be lying if I said no.
Huajing: Really? Did you have the time?
Rain: Only you don’t know it! (words on screen: secret love. There is time for love no matter how busy)
Rain: I have debuted for 8 years so it seems I could talk about love affairs. When I just debuted and was at the age of Yourong, I said no too.
Kim: So how many love affairs you have had up to now? So you feel this question is not strong enough right, ok, let me ask in another way. How many artists have you been going out with up till now?
Rain: (at first shook his head). There are artists, I can’t say no, but I can’t announce who they are.
Love affairs: total 4 time, 2 before debut, 2 after.
Rain: I have been in love 4 times. Pure, ordinary first love during senior high. Then one love after I got into university before debut. Two times after debut.
Kim: Of the two artists after your debut, anyone we know?
Rain: may be.
Huajing: So what is your relationship with your ex lovers? Friends? Don’t see each other again?
Rain: I’m not the type of person who cuts all contact once it’s over. I still have frequent contact with lady artists who have worked with me before.
Kim: Do you have the idea of marriage with the girls you have dated?
Rain: Every time I’m in love, I will tell myself “I want to marry her”. I have this in mind with every relationship. When we date, I always have in mind “if I live with her, what kind of ideal family we will have”. I am the type who is very sincere when I’m in love.
Rain: I have been hurt once in my love relationship, because she told me that my real love is my work, and not her. But I don’t think so, and I told her once: I do all these because of you, but reality is more important. We quarreled many times because of this.
Rain: My father once said, once you met the girl you like you mustn’t let her go. He met my mother for the first time in Myung dong and they had me! But I can’t be like that. I am not the active type, I am more an introvert, I only know to stand by her. (words on screen: Rain’s father was the beast man of his times).
Rain: But I am a very sweet man! I think no matter how tough a man may be, once he is in front of his lover he will unconditionally become weak. He will know how to let her spoil him. I want to show in front of my girl friend the side of me that others cannot see. Up to now, the date that was most impressive and unforgettable to me was: the day when I met my girl friend for the first time, I carried her on my back. Beautiful memories..
Huajing: How do you avoid people’s attention?
Rain: Most of the people will stay inside cars right? But you will soon feel fed up. Have to go to the suburb, like Nanshan, Daofengshan, or even further away – the scenery is quite nice at Qingping. What’s happening to me?! I like to hold hands and walk when I date.
Huajing: In the suburb? Won’t you be recognized easily?
Rain: There are ways! You must not try to disguise, because if you do, you look strange and people will recognize you even more easily.
(words on screen: fragrance of a pro).
Kim: I tried this and I know very clearly, the more natural you are the better you could hide it.
Rain: The more you pretend the more suspicious people will become. On the other hand, if you pretend very naturally that she is just a good colleague, it won’t be discovered so easily.
Huajing: Such a sweet person Rain. Why do girls always choose to leave you?
Rain: Because both of us are busy, and we don’t have time to create memories, so the gap gets further and further. Oh.. why am I telling everything….
Kim: Our secret guest tonight may be one of your ex girl friends! (Kim hyun, you are scaring our Jihoon.)
Rain: I had an arranged date before my debut. It was the first and last. She’s a model, very pretty model. But I was only a trainee, with no money and no car, so…
Kim: What is your ideal type of woman?
Rain: It seems I like sexy and lovely girls. I may be very dazzling on stage, but in front of my lover, I am willing to kneel down for her. Aren’t you the same Hyun? I hope I am a husband with two sides of the charisma, so I hope my other half is both pure and innocent, and yet at the same time wild.
Part 2[Eng trans] KBS2 WinWinTalkshow~world star Rain (part 2)
Kor to Chin translated by EuhHye@Bi withRain
Chin to Eng translated by Cuckoo@NY
Part 2:
The secret guest is actor, Kim Sung Soo
Kim: However, accordingly, someone next to Rain said, if there’s younger sister, definitely won’t introduce to Rain. Do you know who is he? That person is around you, do you whom?
[Screen: (Oh!) RAIN]
Is high school classmate “Sung Soo”? is Rain’s close friends? Or is “Anti”?
Rain: Ah! I told a lot to Sung Soo Hyung>.<
Sung Soo: It’s so embarrassing when I watched the recording in the waiting room. (screen: Sung Soo have a lot of information)
Kim: How did you two know each other? And where?
Sung Soo: The first met was in the drama “Full House” (screen: on 2004, they knew each other in drama “Full House”)
Rain: Ah! headache.
Kim: Since then, Rain become a hot world star
Sung Soo: Compared with the time before he was known; after he became famous, he even kept in touch with me more. Rain’s charm is hard working, from the beginning with, no change (Rain: so shy!)
Hwajeong: Why did hesitate to introduce younger sister to Rain?
Sung Soo: Because he is really working hard (Fans: That’s right! Rain is tough, nobody can compare with him)
Rain: Why?
Kim: Everybody knows Rain is really busy! Therefore, I can imagine his girl friend is lonely though
In fact, I have no younger sister. But if even I have sister, I will think carefully about it.
Rain: I am not that bad though!
Kim: Although being his girlfriend is lonely, in fact, Rain seems lonely too
Sung Soo: Occasionally, he will call me and ask if I have younger sister may introduce to him, or, he says he is so lonely, something like that
Rain: Hyung! This is TV show, please …
Sung Soo: You think this is my first time on the show? (haha…screen: why you do that to me?)
Work is very important to Rain. Although sometimes he complained why I didn’t take care him, or say so lonely…Since he’s really busy, so a lot of blind date suggestions have been held.
Kim: Has Kim Sung Soo ever introduced girls to Rain?
Rain: I have ever asked help from him! Since after shooting drama till now, I kept asking help from him
But, he always excuse as it’s busy and didn’t contact me at all. (screen: just talking no action)
Kim: Shouldn’t he go by himself instead?
Sung Soo: Hey! Hyung ~~
Kim: Oh! Why we call brotherhood suddenly?
Sung Soo: Really because Rain was too busy…
Kim: I know, therefore, I am asking if you go by yourself (screen: Sung Soo went on a blind date first) Just told those girls “I am very close to Rain, let me introduce to you” then go on the blind date yourself! Shouldn’t be, right?
Sung Soo: Hey! Hyung
Kim: “Full House” is Rain’s 2nd TV drama! How was his acting skill?
Sung Soo: Actually, that was my 2nd TV drama too. Therefore, I don’t have any comment at that time.
Kim: At that time, I also did a temporarily performance out of good fellowship, didn’t I?
Rain: That’s right! Hyung did appear though (screen shown: Kim acted a guest in Lee Young Jae’s wedding)
Kim: Both of you have already grown up! (haha)
Sung Soo: Rain was only 22 at that time! It’s difficult for young artist to control the atmosphere. But, he did very well, he led the entire atmosphere! He played a lot of live performance. Such as the “3 Bear Song” he had prepared various versions.
(screen shown: Lee Young Jae sang 3 different versions of “3 Bear song”, and also, Rain performed once live on the show)
Kim: He sang like a kid (screen: bright and cute) But, do you know that? This kind of man is bad guy.
Sung Soo: That’s right ^^
Rain: Hyung! (screen: Is he friend? Or Anti?)
Sung Soo: Probably because of this kind of feeling. He didn’t make the woman stay. Or, reject those who come herself.
Hwajeong: It should have a lot of women who have left and came!
Kim: Well, more or less 4 women! (screen: incredible memory!)
Sung Soo: He is man who has self-esteem. He doesn’t want the love ended with bad memory, therefore, he didn’t make the woman stay, and this is his principle.
Therefore, “He didn’t stop the woman who wants to leave, and at the same time, won’t reject any come up”. As a matter of fact, he is a man who has self-esteem.
Sin Young: I have a curious question! Kim Sung Soo is also a man, have you ever envied Rain?
Sung Soo: Absolutely no! (screen: not hesitate to answer at all)
HaeJeong: It may be a stupid question. What’s about his young look and delicate skin…
Sung Soo: If you started to envy “the youth”, I think this is a never ending issue? (Fans: smart Sung Soo)
Kim: That’s right! (screen: if you are jealous, you are loser)
Sung Soo: If you sit back and think about it, in fact, Rain is not handsome (screen: is not a beauty boy)
What should I say? Rain has an inborn charm; he got long legs and arms.
Rain: Perhaps the reason why I can reborn is ~ “my figure”?
Kim: For example, I heard someone said it looks odd if Rain wears big eyes with this figure…
Rain: I look fine!
Sung Soo: (He keeps saying no no no!
No! It doesn’t matter if big eyes or not. His eyes are big when he is mad
Rain: I will let you see how I look with big eyes in some day later…in private ^^
HwaJeong: Let us see now! (Fans: What’s a good boy, he did it right immediately. He said “it hurt” after he did it)
The reason why secret guest is accepted an invitation and Kim Sung Soo’s cheering message:
Kim: Anyway, you are here. How do you describe this younger brother, Rain?
Sung Soo: When I got a call from director, I watched the Full House DVD once, as I remembered that we exchanged autography to each other at that time, Rain wrote: “Although I am a young brother, if you have a moment feel lonely or suffering, please call me anytime!”
Sung soo: In my point of view, even Rain is so young, a little brother for me. But, for Rain’s fans, I think he is a forever TV drama main actor! (screen: Rain is a long lasting character in the TV drama).
I said so, maybe I will give him a pressure. But compared with elderly character, as fans viewpoint, I want to see Rain as what he is!
Kim: It makes me feel Sung Soo is a very strong older brother
Sung Soo: I am very happy because I didn’t see Rain long time!
Rain: I don’t know we will meet here (screen: hope this friendship forever)
The 3rd time, Kim looks at Rain, it is hardly imagine Rain’s life is so tough
Kim: Shouldn’t be like this? Keep going here and there without break! It’s hard! Why have to live like this?
Rain: Put it this way, I am a person who love to torture myself. I won’t forgive myself if I miss a chance.
Kim: So, when did you torture yourself the most so far?
Rain: When I was filming Ninja Assassin (screen: first Hollywood leading film: Ninja Assassin)
The first though when I received an invitation; “oh! I got it finally! I will become a Hollywood star! Because there is good director and the deal is very good. Therefore, I think “My opportunity is finally on hand! It’s great! As it, then I went to USA. Film company provided me a very nice place to live. But, when I looked at the house, I think “It is not right. It’s better to go back to the beginning!”
I can’t concentrate if I live in this house. Therefore, I didn’t bring my manager, I rented a small one bedroom apartment and live alone. I should say “I am crazy!, right?”
At that time, I read a book, it names “Budget for Success” Ah! I will succeed if I can restrain.
Then, tough training has begun. I put Bruce Lee’s picture on the refrigerator. If I can’t look like him, I have no way to go beyond him!
How do I eat? One bite lemon, one bite onion, one bite apple, then added some chicken breast. I made it myself! Although it tastes horrible, I have to take it. On the filming field, I have to do a lot of exercises and received training. When I was home, I had to memorize the English sсript and thought how I should act.
Kim: For you, what is the most difficult for living alone?
Rain: Fighting with “loneliness”! It was Christmas season at that time, finally! I asked myself why I am here. What do I want to do in Hollywood? What kind of movie do I want to film? Thing hurt me most is I always ended up think I want to give up.
Rain: I watched “Infinite challenge” on notebook, I cried when I saw Seong sang Christmas song!
I should be there! Why I live alone in far away, then my tears dropped and cried loud
At that time, I have ever thought how’s about commit suicide? Because I feel so lonely and depressed. Therefore, I went to extreme.
In before, I had to fly everywhere all the time. Life is so difficult. Then, I think “I wish the plane crashed” Because I was so mentally and physically exhausted. Therefore, I thought~ if the plane crashed, then everybody would remember there is someone called Rain, who lived seriously.
Giving the best memory to everybody, and then I could take a good rest. I have ever thought about it.
Kim: This is a thought, It shouldn’t take any further, right?
Rain: Of course! (Kim: it should not be like this) Because I think I didn’t marry yet. What’s a pity! I die before I get married.
Originally, I think I am a very strong will guy. I don’t know such depressive feeling will turn into a huge attack. Finally, on the 8 months of filming period, I kept thinking “That’s it! That’s it! Then hang on and kept working on it.
One day, the movie finally done. I feel spiritually empty at once, then finished a bottle of soju which was given by director.
Rain: I really feel proud of myself! It’s really remarkable to me even though I am not sure if I’ll succeed.
Kim: Not only Rain feels proud of himself. We all feel proud of you! Bravo~~applaud

Huajing: So what is your relationship with your ex lovers? Friends? Don’t see each other again?
Rain: I’m not the type of person who cuts all contact once it’s over. I still have frequent contact with lady artists who have worked with me before.
Kim: Do you have the idea of marriage with the girls you have dated?
Rain: Every time I’m in love, I will tell myself “I want to marry her”. I have this in mind with every relationship. When we date, I always have in mind “if I live with her, what kind of ideal family we will have”. I am the type who is very sincere when I’m in love.
Rain: I have been hurt once in my love relationship, because she told me that my real love is my work, and not her. But I don’t think so, and I told her once: I do all these because of you, but reality is more important. We quarreled many times because of this.
Rain: My father once said, once you met the girl you like you mustn’t let her go. He met my mother for the first time in Myung dong and they had me! But I can’t be like that. I am not the active type, I am more an introvert, I only know to stand by her. (words on screen: Rain’s father was the beast man of his times).
Rain: But I am a very sweet man! I think no matter how tough a man may be, once he is in front of his lover he will unconditionally become weak. He will know how to let her spoil him. I want to show in front of my girl friend the side of me that others cannot see. Up to now, the date that was most impressive and unforgettable to me was: the day when I met my girl friend for the first time, I carried her on my back. Beautiful memories..
Huajing: How do you avoid people’s attention?
Rain: Most of the people will stay inside cars right? But you will soon feel fed up. Have to go to the suburb, like Nanshan, Daofengshan, or even further away – the scenery is quite nice at Qingping. What’s happening to me?! I like to hold hands and walk when I date.
Huajing: In the suburb? Won’t you be recognized easily?
Rain: There are ways! You must not try to disguise, because if you do, you look strange and people will recognize you even more easily.
(words on screen: fragrance of a pro).
Kim: I tried this and I know very clearly, the more natural you are the better you could hide it.
Rain: The more you pretend the more suspicious people will become. On the other hand, if you pretend very naturally that she is just a good colleague, it won’t be discovered so easily.
Huajing: Such a sweet person Rain. Why do girls always choose to leave you?
Rain: Because both of us are busy, and we don’t have time to create memories, so the gap gets further and further. Oh.. why am I telling everything….
Kim: Our secret guest tonight may be one of your ex girl friends! (Kim hyun, you are scaring our Jihoon.)
Rain: I had an arranged date before my debut. It was the first and last. She’s a model, very pretty model. But I was only a trainee, with no money and no car, so…
Kim: What is your ideal type of woman?
Rain: It seems I like sexy and lovely girls. I may be very dazzling on stage, but in front of my lover, I am willing to kneel down for her. Aren’t you the same Hyun? I hope I am a husband with two sides of the charisma, so I hope my other half is both pure and innocent, and yet at the same time wild.

Part 2:
The secret guest is actor, Kim Sung Soo
Kim: However, accordingly, someone next to Rain said, if there’s younger sister, definitely won’t introduce to Rain. Do you know who is he? That person is around you, do you whom?
[Screen: (Oh!) RAIN]
Is high school classmate “Sung Soo”? is Rain’s close friends? Or is “Anti”?
Rain: Ah! I told a lot to Sung Soo Hyung>.<
Sung Soo: It’s so embarrassing when I watched the recording in the waiting room. (screen: Sung Soo have a lot of information)
Kim: How did you two know each other? And where?
Sung Soo: The first met was in the drama “Full House” (screen: on 2004, they knew each other in drama “Full House”)
Rain: Ah! headache.
Kim: Since then, Rain become a hot world star
Sung Soo: Compared with the time before he was known; after he became famous, he even kept in touch with me more. Rain’s charm is hard working, from the beginning with, no change (Rain: so shy!)
Hwajeong: Why did hesitate to introduce younger sister to Rain?
Sung Soo: Because he is really working hard (Fans: That’s right! Rain is tough, nobody can compare with him)
Rain: Why?
Kim: Everybody knows Rain is really busy! Therefore, I can imagine his girl friend is lonely though
In fact, I have no younger sister. But if even I have sister, I will think carefully about it.
Rain: I am not that bad though!
Kim: Although being his girlfriend is lonely, in fact, Rain seems lonely too
Sung Soo: Occasionally, he will call me and ask if I have younger sister may introduce to him, or, he says he is so lonely, something like that
Rain: Hyung! This is TV show, please …
Sung Soo: You think this is my first time on the show? (haha…screen: why you do that to me?)
Work is very important to Rain. Although sometimes he complained why I didn’t take care him, or say so lonely…Since he’s really busy, so a lot of blind date suggestions have been held.
Kim: Has Kim Sung Soo ever introduced girls to Rain?
Rain: I have ever asked help from him! Since after shooting drama till now, I kept asking help from him
But, he always excuse as it’s busy and didn’t contact me at all. (screen: just talking no action)
Kim: Shouldn’t he go by himself instead?
Sung Soo: Hey! Hyung ~~
Kim: Oh! Why we call brotherhood suddenly?
Sung Soo: Really because Rain was too busy…
Kim: I know, therefore, I am asking if you go by yourself (screen: Sung Soo went on a blind date first) Just told those girls “I am very close to Rain, let me introduce to you” then go on the blind date yourself! Shouldn’t be, right?
Sung Soo: Hey! Hyung
Kim: “Full House” is Rain’s 2nd TV drama! How was his acting skill?
Sung Soo: Actually, that was my 2nd TV drama too. Therefore, I don’t have any comment at that time.
Kim: At that time, I also did a temporarily performance out of good fellowship, didn’t I?
Rain: That’s right! Hyung did appear though (screen shown: Kim acted a guest in Lee Young Jae’s wedding)
Kim: Both of you have already grown up! (haha)
Sung Soo: Rain was only 22 at that time! It’s difficult for young artist to control the atmosphere. But, he did very well, he led the entire atmosphere! He played a lot of live performance. Such as the “3 Bear Song” he had prepared various versions.
(screen shown: Lee Young Jae sang 3 different versions of “3 Bear song”, and also, Rain performed once live on the show)
Kim: He sang like a kid (screen: bright and cute) But, do you know that? This kind of man is bad guy.
Sung Soo: That’s right ^^
Rain: Hyung! (screen: Is he friend? Or Anti?)
Sung Soo: Probably because of this kind of feeling. He didn’t make the woman stay. Or, reject those who come herself.
Hwajeong: It should have a lot of women who have left and came!
Kim: Well, more or less 4 women! (screen: incredible memory!)
Sung Soo: He is man who has self-esteem. He doesn’t want the love ended with bad memory, therefore, he didn’t make the woman stay, and this is his principle.
Therefore, “He didn’t stop the woman who wants to leave, and at the same time, won’t reject any come up”. As a matter of fact, he is a man who has self-esteem.
Sin Young: I have a curious question! Kim Sung Soo is also a man, have you ever envied Rain?
Sung Soo: Absolutely no! (screen: not hesitate to answer at all)
HaeJeong: It may be a stupid question. What’s about his young look and delicate skin…
Sung Soo: If you started to envy “the youth”, I think this is a never ending issue? (Fans: smart Sung Soo)
Kim: That’s right! (screen: if you are jealous, you are loser)
Sung Soo: If you sit back and think about it, in fact, Rain is not handsome (screen: is not a beauty boy)
What should I say? Rain has an inborn charm; he got long legs and arms.
Rain: Perhaps the reason why I can reborn is ~ “my figure”?
Kim: For example, I heard someone said it looks odd if Rain wears big eyes with this figure…
Rain: I look fine!
Sung Soo: (He keeps saying no no no!
No! It doesn’t matter if big eyes or not. His eyes are big when he is mad
Rain: I will let you see how I look with big eyes in some day later…in private ^^
HwaJeong: Let us see now! (Fans: What’s a good boy, he did it right immediately. He said “it hurt” after he did it)
The reason why secret guest is accepted an invitation and Kim Sung Soo’s cheering message:
Kim: Anyway, you are here. How do you describe this younger brother, Rain?
Sung Soo: When I got a call from director, I watched the Full House DVD once, as I remembered that we exchanged autography to each other at that time, Rain wrote: “Although I am a young brother, if you have a moment feel lonely or suffering, please call me anytime!”
Sung soo: In my point of view, even Rain is so young, a little brother for me. But, for Rain’s fans, I think he is a forever TV drama main actor! (screen: Rain is a long lasting character in the TV drama).
I said so, maybe I will give him a pressure. But compared with elderly character, as fans viewpoint, I want to see Rain as what he is!
Kim: It makes me feel Sung Soo is a very strong older brother
Sung Soo: I am very happy because I didn’t see Rain long time!
Rain: I don’t know we will meet here (screen: hope this friendship forever)
The 3rd time, Kim looks at Rain, it is hardly imagine Rain’s life is so tough
Kim: Shouldn’t be like this? Keep going here and there without break! It’s hard! Why have to live like this?
Rain: Put it this way, I am a person who love to torture myself. I won’t forgive myself if I miss a chance.
Kim: So, when did you torture yourself the most so far?
Rain: When I was filming Ninja Assassin (screen: first Hollywood leading film: Ninja Assassin)
The first though when I received an invitation; “oh! I got it finally! I will become a Hollywood star! Because there is good director and the deal is very good. Therefore, I think “My opportunity is finally on hand! It’s great! As it, then I went to USA. Film company provided me a very nice place to live. But, when I looked at the house, I think “It is not right. It’s better to go back to the beginning!”
I can’t concentrate if I live in this house. Therefore, I didn’t bring my manager, I rented a small one bedroom apartment and live alone. I should say “I am crazy!, right?”
At that time, I read a book, it names “Budget for Success” Ah! I will succeed if I can restrain.
Then, tough training has begun. I put Bruce Lee’s picture on the refrigerator. If I can’t look like him, I have no way to go beyond him!
How do I eat? One bite lemon, one bite onion, one bite apple, then added some chicken breast. I made it myself! Although it tastes horrible, I have to take it. On the filming field, I have to do a lot of exercises and received training. When I was home, I had to memorize the English sсript and thought how I should act.
Kim: For you, what is the most difficult for living alone?
Rain: Fighting with “loneliness”! It was Christmas season at that time, finally! I asked myself why I am here. What do I want to do in Hollywood? What kind of movie do I want to film? Thing hurt me most is I always ended up think I want to give up.
Rain: I watched “Infinite challenge” on notebook, I cried when I saw Seong sang Christmas song!
I should be there! Why I live alone in far away, then my tears dropped and cried loud
At that time, I have ever thought how’s about commit suicide? Because I feel so lonely and depressed. Therefore, I went to extreme.
In before, I had to fly everywhere all the time. Life is so difficult. Then, I think “I wish the plane crashed” Because I was so mentally and physically exhausted. Therefore, I thought~ if the plane crashed, then everybody would remember there is someone called Rain, who lived seriously.
Giving the best memory to everybody, and then I could take a good rest. I have ever thought about it.
Kim: This is a thought, It shouldn’t take any further, right?
Rain: Of course! (Kim: it should not be like this) Because I think I didn’t marry yet. What’s a pity! I die before I get married.
Originally, I think I am a very strong will guy. I don’t know such depressive feeling will turn into a huge attack. Finally, on the 8 months of filming period, I kept thinking “That’s it! That’s it! Then hang on and kept working on it.
One day, the movie finally done. I feel spiritually empty at once, then finished a bottle of soju which was given by director.
Rain: I really feel proud of myself! It’s really remarkable to me even though I am not sure if I’ll succeed.
Kim: Not only Rain feels proud of himself. We all feel proud of you! Bravo~~applaud
