The Discovery channel is ready to produce a documentary about the rising stock of Korean pop culture. Asian’s superstar Rain (Bi) will be featured in the documentary. The Hip Korea programme will be focusing on the entertainer’s significance as a representative for Korean pop on the world stage.
A J. Tune Entertainment representative explained to the Korean Herald how Rain is the leader and face of Korean entertainment so therefore, he will be introduced and featured as the program’s main subject and will be described as an entertainer who was successful as a result of the nation’s growth as a pop cultural hub in the Asian region.
J. Tune is an entertainment and media company which was formed by Rain after with much support from his under singer, songwriter and producer Park Jin-young, the founder of JYP Entertainment.
The documentary began being broadcasted on Saturday January 1 in Oceania and is set to go to air in Asia on February 23.
For six months, the Discovery Channel’s production crew followed the singer, actor and entertainment mogul everywhere, so they could document his every move. Candid moments can be seen, including Rain commiserating with presenter and comedian Kim Jae-dong. But there is also emotional footage for example when he visits a mausoleum where his late mother now rests in peace.
A number of interviews were also conducted; some interviewees include Steven Colbert of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, the Wachowski Brothers and Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon.
The Colbert Report, a satirical television programme in the United States, is hugely popular for skewing political talking heads.
Rain’s connection to Steven Colbert and the show began over two years ago when a segment playfully made fun of the singer. Colbert declared him his arch-nemesis for finishing higher than Colbert on TIME’s list of the ‘100 Most Influential People’.
The comical fight came to an end when Rain appeared as a surprise guest on the show nearly a year after the comment was made. The nation watched Rain and Colbert compete in a mocked up dance competition, this appearance boosted Rain’s exposure to the American public.
The Wachowski Brothers, best known for The Matrix films, directed last year’s Speed Racer, in which Rain appeared and Sarandon starred.
After a lengthy break from the domestic entertainment scene, Rain then returned to Korea late last year to promote his fifth studio album Rainism. Before that, he had filmed Ninja Assassin, a film which was developed specifically for him by the Wachowski Brothers.
