Végtelen erőfeszítés, végtelen kitartás, végtelen szerénység. (Rain vezérelve)

Tudtam, hogy ránézésre nem tűnök valami nagy számnak, a megjelenésem sem túl vonzó, de a bensőm elég rendkívüli. Minden színpadra lépés előtt azt mondom magamnak, hogy én vagyok a legjobb, és minden előadás után ugyanúgy azt, hogy nem én vagyok. Ezért minden fellépés előtt 120 százalékosan kell felkészülnöm, hogy az előadáson 100 százalékos teljesítményt tudjak nyújtani. Ennek érdekében minden álló nap folyamatosan képzem magam. Már nagyon hosszú ideje alváshiányban szenvedek, mert ha éppen nem dolgozom, akkor vagy edzek, vagy a koreográfiákat és a dalokat próbálom. Éppen úgy, mint a filmfelvételek idején, ha valamit nem csináltam jól, képtelen vagyok aludni. Akár színészként, akár énekesként, a legjobbat kell tudnom kihozni magamból. De nem kell aggódni, hogy most nincs elegendő időm az alvásra, jut arra majd bőven a halálom után. (Rain)

Ez a fiatalság, ez az egészség... és a túlcsorduló önbizalom... az erőfeszítés, amit az oly hihetetlen előadásai sikeres megvalósításáért tett... és a tehetség, amit felmutat, ezek töltenek el spontán tisztelettel engem. Azt gondolom, hogy a történelem a fontos személyiségek között fogja jegyezni. Úgy, mint aki színészként és zenészként egyaránt sikeres lett. ...
Ami igazán meglepő Ji-hoonban, az az, hogy egyfajta düh, bosszúvágy és szomorúság, az összes efféle sötét, komor negatív motiváció az ő esetében rendkívül optimista és derűs módon ölt testet.
(Park Chan-wook rendező)

'섹션TV' 비 "'아육대' 출연? NO…날 과대평가 말라"





[엑스포츠뉴스 박소현 기자] 데뷔15주년을 맞이한 비가 컴백했다.

3일 방송한 MBC '섹션TV 연예통신'에는 데뷔 15주년을 맞이한 비가 출연했다.

이날 '섹션TV 연예통신'에서 비는 "방송으로 보는 것보단 실물이 좀 더 낫다"며 미소를 띄웠다. 그는 "약 4년동안 할 일이 많았다. 드라마를 2편했고 중국에서도 몇 작품을 했다"고 소개했다.

비는 "무대 위 파워풀한 비가 보고 싶다고 하더라. 무대 갈증을 풀어내기 위해 15년 전으로 돌아가서 정말 열심히 준비해서 지난 15년에 대한 이야기를 '깡'에 풀어냈다"고 설명했다.

오랜만의 무대에 낯설지 않았냐는 물음에 "고향에 온 것 같더라"고 힘줘 말했다. 이어 "이렇게 안하면 젊은 애들을 이길 수 없다. 신경은 쓰지 않더라도 선배로서 뭔가는 보여줘야 한다"며 근육통에 시달리면서도 오뚝이춤을 선보이는 이유를 밝혔다.

이에 이재은 아나운서가 "아육대에 나가도 될 거 같다"고 제안하자, 비는 "안나갈 거다"라며 곧장 선을 그었다. 그는 "나를 과대평가하지 말라"고 답해 웃음을 자아냈다.

Rain Opens Up About How It Feels To Make His Long-Awaited Comeback As A Singer







Rain recently opened up about making a comeback as a singer.

He appeared on MBC’s “Section TV” on December 3 to discuss a wide variety of topics and celebrate his 15th anniversary as a singer.

On how he felt about his recent comeback with “Gang,” Rain replied, “For the past four years, I’ve been busy with other things. I shot two dramas and did a few productions in China. But people kept telling me that they missed seeing my powerful performances on stage. So I went back to the mindset I first had 15 years ago and I worked really hard for this comeback. ‘Gang’ is the story of my life for the past 15 years.”



When asked whether it felt awkward to stand on stage again for the first time in a while, Rain said that it felt like coming home. He explained, “If I don’t work hard, I won’t be able to keep up with the younger singers. I at least wanted to show them what I can do as their senior.”

Rain recently made his comeback with his new mini album “My Life” on December 1. Don’t forget to check out the music video for his new title track “Gang.”

'컴백쇼' 박진영 "비의 가요대상 수상, 따라 울었다"

기사입력2017.12.03 오후 11:43



[엑스포츠뉴스 박소현 기자] 프로듀서 박진영이 비에 대한 남다른 애정을 드러냈다.

3일 방송한 KBS 2TV 2017 비 컴백스페셜 '레인 이즈 백'을 통해 박진영이 비에 대해 언급했다.

박진영은 "그때 표정, 땀흘린 거 다 기억난다. 내가 비를 뽑은 건 눈빛 때문인 것 같다"며 "약간 굶어죽기 직전의 사자새끼, 호랑이 새끼 같았다"고 당시를 떠올렸다.

이어 "이미 19군데인가 오디션을 다 떨어지고 온 거다. 자존심은 굉장히 강한데 세상 일이 뜻대로 안 풀리고 자기를 잘 몰라주니까 반감과 시니컬해진 느낌, 절대로 자기 자존심을 포기할 수 없는 아주 복합적인 눈빛이 느껴졌다"며 털어놨다.

그는 "그런 눈빛을 처음 본 것 같다. 지켜보고 싶었고 궁금했다"고 강조했다.

수많은 스타들을 탄생시킨 박진영이지만 비의 가요대상 수상은 더욱 남달랐다. 박진영은 "가장 기억에 남는 건 처음으로 KBS 가요대상 받았을 때다. 갑자기 수상소감을 울면서 말하는데 같이 따라 울었던 건 그때가 유일했던 것 같다"고 밝혔다.

또 "아무것도 아닌 자기를 이런 말을 하는데 한 글자 한 글자가 진심인걸 알았어서 굉장히 많이 따라 울었다"며 "여전히 잘됐으면 좋겠고 행복했으면 좋겠는 동생이다. 멀리서 바라보고 있다"고 강조했다.

박진영은 "언젠가 내 도움이 필요하다면 언제든 달려갈 수밖에 없는 동생이다. 춤을 잘 추는 친구들은 많이 있다. 그런데 정말 무대를 꽉 채우는 카리스마나 포스는 아직까지는 비가 최고지 않나 생각한다"고 힘줘 말했다.

Park Jin Young Talks About Rain’s Memorable JYP Audition And Once Crying At Rain’s Acceptance Speech




Producer Park Jin Young opened up about his affection for Rain.

During Rain’s comeback special show “Rain is Back,” which aired on KBS 2TV on December 3, Park Jin Young appeared on the show to talk about his friendship with Rain.

Rain’s music career started with him entering JYP Entertainment as a trainee. Looking back on Rain’s audition, Park Jin Young said, “I still remember every expression he had and how much he was sweating because he was working hard. I think the reason I picked him to join our agency was because of his eyes. His gaze reminded me of a young lion or tiger cub that was hungry and on the brink of starvation.”

He continued to state, “He had already auditioned at 19 other agencies and been rejected by all of them. He had a lot of pride and as the world wasn’t going the way he wanted it to, his eyes seemed to hold a sense of rebellion, cynicism, and a determination to not lose his pride. It was the first time I’d seen that kind of look in a trainee. I wanted to see what he could do, I was curious.”


Though Park Jin Young has been behind countless stars who have shined in the entertainment industry, he has always had a soft spot for Rain. He said, “The most memorable moment for me is when he won his first Daesang [Grand Prize] on KBS. He started crying during his acceptance speech and I think that’s the only time I’ve cried for someone who won an award.”

When asked why he cried, Park Jin Young said, “He was talking about how I had taken him in when he was at his lowest, and each and every word held so much sincerity that it made me cry along with him. He’s still someone I hope for the best for. He’s someone I always keep my eye on.”

Park Jin Young concluded by stating, “He’s someone I will always come running to if he needs my help. I’ve met many people who can dance, but in my eyes, he’s still the best person at filling up an entire stage by himself with his charisma.”

[MV & Album Review] Rain – 'My Life'

By eric_r_wirsing

RAIN – MY LIFE
Track List:

1
Goodbye (feat. Jo Hyun Ah)
2
Baby Baby
3
Again
4
Sunshine
5
Gang
6
Again (Instrumental)
7
Gang (Instrumental)
8
Sunshine (Instrumental)


Rain is back with his first-ever mini-album 'My Life!' He's been fairly quiet since 2014's 'Rain Effect,' apparently preferring to focus on his acting career. A couple singles in 2017 reminded us of his musical talent, and now we have a full-blown comeback. The 8-track EP has 3 instrumentals and a pre-release single, but you still have 4 brand new tunes including the title track.  

"Goodbye" is a stripped-down ballad -- just the way I like them. Jo Hyun Ah has an awesome edge to her voice that gives this tune some great feels. It's a great counter to Rain's slight hoarseness here, and their vocals combine nicely. It's a pre-release track, but it's nice to hear it again. "Baby Baby" is a low-tempo pop tune on acoustic guitar -- at least at first. It's a cool melody after "Goodbye," refreshing and gentle. After the two slower tunes, we get "Again." This track is an R&B ballad, and very heartfelt. It also lacks that annoying endpoint, preferring to make its point without Rain having to scream over the music. 

"Sunshine" is more of an upbeat, cheery tune, and has R&B written all over it, and has some island-style beats as well. It's also a welcome change of pace. "Gang" is big, bold and in your face, with some synth blasts at the beginning. It's definitely an outlier on the album, and I can understand why they promoted with it. It's a sick hip-hop jam and demands your attention. It's also hella catchy. I could mention something about this tune being a desperate attempt at relevance, but I'd rather just enjoy this rather awesome bop.

I still think the standout tracks here are "Sunshine" and "Gang." Particularly "Gang." It's nice to see him back making music, because that's what I was familiar with, until the drama 'My Lovely Girl.' The singer knows how to bring it, and it would be interesting to see a live show for this material. He's good at what he does -- and it shows here.  


MV REVIEW

Rain pulls up in a Jeep Wrangler and joins his crew. Why a Wrangler? Because Range Rovers cost at least 4x as much. Rain is all decked out in leather, and so are his backup dancers. There's not much to actually describe here -- it's a performance MV, mainly.

And perform they do. This gaggle has some impressive moves, including Rain himself. The way they effortlessly fall prone and then roll and stand again makes it even better. They do this like they were born to it. I also like how they adjust it for the R&B style pre-chorus. The movements become smooth and slow. And then they crank it back up when the synth starts again. The choreo is pretty impressive, even if the ridiculous full-body getup with a mask at the end (combined with the dance) makes Rain look like a gorilla.  

Overall, it's not a bad video. It has more dancing than you can shake a stick at, and they're not doing this halfway, which is a good thing. Frankly, it looked kind of badass in places, which I think was the point. Not the best MV I've seen all week, but not bad, either.

REVIEW / CONCERT

RAIN TOUR IN SINGAPORE THE SQUALL

Resorts World Ballroom, Resorts World Convention Centre

Last Friday

K-pop legend Rain hit Singapore's shores with The Squall concert last Friday.

This is the singer Jung Ji Hoon, who goes by the stage name Rain and made a weather phenomenon synonymous with the Korean wave in the 2000s.

The South Korean pop star has scored multiple chart-topping hits on music shows and even an interview with American television news outlet CNN and such moments from his glorious past were shown as video snippets during his two-hour concert at Resorts World Convention Centre.

The playback of his illustrious achievements, however, did nothing to chase away doubts about his King of K-pop status.

Is Rain still in season?

Talk has been swirling in the entertainment industry that the 34- year-old's singing and acting career is going downhill.

After all, reception to the K-wave pioneer's last album Rain Effect (2014) was lukewarm, and as the dreamy leading man in K-dramas such as My Lovely Girl (2014) and Please Come Back, Mister (2016), he failed to re-create the stellar TV rating of the well-loved romantic comedy Full House (2004), which he starred in.

But at the concert, he proved he still has what it takes to stay on top of the game.

He was a dance-machine, singer and consummate entertainer all rolled into one.

The concert started an hour late and he apologised to the 4,000- strong crowd for it after bursting onto the austere stage set, but the energy level remained high throughout his performance.

There was no sign of the gloomy and lethargic star who met with the media last Thursday at a press conference. He had said then that he was nursing a cold.

Regardless of the tempo of the songs, he kept the fancy footwork of the dances clean and sharp and hit all the high notes.

There were times, however, when the moves seemed contrived, such as when he performed sexy body rolls while belting out the lovestruck ballad The Song That Will Get You.

The choreography for the fast- paced tunes fared better. He impressed with his hip thrusts during the Hip Song and showed off his robot popping moves in I'm Coming.

For the groovy dance tune It's Raining, he threw in a gravity-defying lean reminiscent of that by his idol, the late pop king Michael Jackson.

The singer also banked on his sculpted physique to heat things up.

His outfits consisted of body-hugging T-shirts and suits, as well as a bejewelled cap and vest that he wore in the 2010 music video for The Song That Will Get You.

At one point, he even ripped off a black T-shirt to bare his chiselled chest.

The show was a crowd-pleaser, even if it stuck to Rain's tried-and- tested formula, but in the ever- changing K-pop landscape populated by new and younger acts, it remains to be seen how he will fare.

If anything, the concert has left fans keyed up about his new album, set to be released later this month. Perhaps it will be a chance for him to reinvent himself, with the help of K-pop maverick Psy as the album's producer.

비는 29일 서울 전역을 돌며 관광명소를 담는
홍보 영상에 출연한다. 이 영상은 세계적인 보도채널 CNN을 통해 전 세계에 방영될 계획이다. 한 관계자는 "잠수교와 청계천 등을 비롯해 서울의 명소를 비가 소개하는 구성이다. 비가 운전을 하면서 서울 도심을 누비는 컨셉트라 아름다운 야경이 담길 예정이다"고 말했다.

비가 서울을 알린 것은 이번이 처음은 아니다. 그는
다큐멘터리채널 디스커버리 '힙 코리아'를 통해 지난 1,2월 두 차례에 걸쳐 서울의 역동적인 변화를 소개하며 해외 팬들과 만났다.

비가 등장하는 이
프로그램으로 서울시가 얻은 홍보효과는 430억원. 달콤한 홍보효과를 맛본 서울시는 지난달 25일 비를 아예 글로벌홍보대사로 위촉해 홍보 전면에 내세웠다. 서울시는 향후 해외 프로모션에 비의 모습을 등장시키는가 하면 내달 일본에서 시작되는 비의 아시아 투어홍보부스를 운영할 계획을 세우고 있다.

비는 26일 해외 팬 4,000여 명과 '글로벌 팬미팅'을 성황리에 마쳤다. 그는 내달 29일 일본 도쿄에서 시작하는 아시아 투어 '레전드 오브 레이니즘' 준비 중이다.

[July-30-2009][Non-Fan Acct]Saw Rain shooting last night.

When I went to 'the Cheonggye Stream' in order to take some pictures yesterday (July29),
I heard that Rain was shooting a film to promote the city of Seoul right there.
('The Cheonggye Stream' is just near Gwanghwamun where Rain was shooting)Everyone there were so excited to hear that, and our group was standing at the very last,.
When Rain got in his car (van) during his shooting, every onlooker in front closely got near to the fore of his van and saw him by all means.
After all, they yelled like this, "He is so cool ! "

[July-30-2009] [Fan Review] Comic-Con Special Advance Screening of Ninja AssassinIt is 11 pm on the first full day of Comic-Con and I am being swiped with a metal detector, ordered to turn my phone off and handed a Ninja Assassin headband. A great question, as I am sure many are wondering, is how was I able to see this awesome screening?

I first sited a WB advertisement in the Comic-Con Events Guide. Under Thursday at 11 pm is said “Warner Bros. Special Advance Screening - To Be Announced”. The first step was even noticing this one entry in WB’s full page advertisement.

Thursday afternoon I hit the always packed to the brim Exhibit Hall Floor. I braved the long path through the masses to the WB booth. My plan was to ask about he screening at the booth hoping they had the information.

As I walked up to the WB booth an announcement was made stating they were handing out passes to the screening right now and the movie would be Ninja Assassin. I immediately made my way to the line for the WB booth. Yes, there was a freaking line, but not even to pick up the passes.

All these people were scanning their Comic-Con badges, for what reason I do not really know or care. Once it was my turn at the booth I asked about the pass for the screening and of course this lovely girl had no clue where the passes were.

Literally, as I am standing there asking about the passes another announcement comes over the speaker stating only a few passes were remaining. Luckily the girl with the mic and in the know came over to the booth right as she was making the announcement. I was able to snag one of the last passes they handed out.

Arriving early is also a key factor for going to any screening. I have been to a few screening where I was only a few people away from making it in. Of course WB probably gives out 25 to 50 extra passes because they figure some people will now show. I arrived at 10:20 pm and was able to make my way through the metal detector and into the screening of Ninja Assassin a full three months before its November 25th release date.

The Director James McTeigue was at the screening and introduced the movie.I will say James seems like a really cool guy, someone you could just go up and talk to, not that I did. James gained my attention after directing the spectacular V for Vendetta. After such a stunning directorial debut I am very interested in all his projects.

I actually saw the panel for Ninja Assassin last year at Comic-Con which first sparked my interest in this flick. The main character Raizo is played by Rain. I only knew of Rain after he appeared at Comic-Con last year and pretty much every girl in the room flipped out. Rain is a South Korean pop singer, dancer, model, actor, CEO and designer.

This multi-talented powerhouse has quite a following in the US, he actually sold out his first US concert in 2006 at Madison Square Garden immediately and had to add another day which also sold out! Raizo is one of the most deadly assassins in the world and his introduction, in which he takes out of whole room of foes, immediately shows off his skills.

Not only does he take out these adversaries, but they are all killed in a very specific disturbing way. Such as chopping off limbs, decapitation and various other spectacularly gruesome deaths which result from wielding various ninja weapons. We are told Raizo’s back story through flashbacks to his childhood when he was taken off the street by a secret society and trained to be a killer in what I will refer to as ninja school.

The Ozunu Clan, the secret society, runs this school and turns children into trained killers. The flashbacks dive into the harsh teaching techniques of The Ozunu Clan and focus on a friendship with a fellow student. We are frequently brought back to present time focusing on a scar or something particularity related to the flashback story which was a great transition technique.

Slowly we are piecing the character together. Naomie Harris plays Europol agent Mika Coretti who stumbles upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East.

Most will be familiar with Naomie’s excellent performance in Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy as Tia Dalma. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow who is played by Ben Miles, Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders.


The story moves at a very quick pace which works well with ninja assassins at the center of the movie. The main characters Raizo and Mika are played very well by Rain and Naomie . The supporting cast including Ben Miles compliant the main characters perfectly. The story kept me interested all the way through with only a few slow spots.

I must say there is one thing that bothered me about the ninja fights. The ninjas moved so fast it looked like their legs were not even moving at times. This bothered me quite a bit. To me this effect just seemed a bit over the top. However, the fight scenes are so well done it more then makes up for this odd effect. In the end Ninja Assassin lives up to its name and provides an awesome movie experience!

Be sure to check out Ninja Assassin when it hits theaters on November 25th.

"비 연기 엄청난 발전" 美 본토서 찬사
[한국일보] 2009년 03월 06일(금) 오전 07:09   가| 이메일| 프린트

'닌자 어새신' 시사회 후 영화 사이트 '컬라이더' 칭찬
"비는 배우로서 엄청난 발전을 했다."
가수 겸 배우 비의 할리우드 주연작 <닌자 어쌔신>이 미국에서 일반 시사회를 가진 뒤 호평이 이어지고 있다. 미국 영화 사이트 콜라이더(Collider)는 4일밤(현지시각) 인터넷판을 통해 <닌자 어쌔신>의 리뷰를 게재했다.

콜라이더는 "비는 <스피드 레이서>에서 조연을 했던 것에 비해 이번 영화에서 엄청난 발전을 했다. 비록 그의 대사는 짧지만 보이밴드의 이미지를 버리고 흉측한 모습을 기꺼이 감수한 모습이 대단하다"고 평했다.

콜라이더는 <닌자 어쌔신>의 주요 내용과 기존 무술 영화와의 차이점을 기술했다. 콜라이더는 "<닌자 어쌔신>은 대중이 즐거워할 만한 영화임이 분명하다. CG를 보강한 <킬빌>과도 같다"고 평했다.

이 매체는 "이 영화는 복수를 주제로 한 무술 영화다. 어린 시절 훈련을 받은 영웅이 스승과 결투하게 된다는 구조는 흔히 보는 것이다. 그러나 훈련 과정이 매우 흥미롭다. 학교라기 보다 감옥에 가까운 곳에서 자비심을 갖지 않도록 훈련을 받는 과정이 공개된다"고 설명했다.

콜라이더는 <닌자 어쌔신>이 워쇼스키 형제가 만들어 스타일리시하다고 평했다. <닌자 어쌔신>에 대해 "영화 제목이 채 나오기도 전에 피가 낭자하다. 머리가 잘리거나 몸이 반토막으로 나는 등 액션의 잔인함이 놀랐다. 창자가 쏟아지고 차에 부딛히고 칼에 찔리는 장면에서 박수가 나오곤 했다. 영화 <300>처럼 카메라 스피드가 변하거나 주인공이 악당과 떼로 싸울 때 CG 효과가 등장한다"고 설명했다.


미국 영화 전문 데이터베이스 IMDB에도 "영화가 끝난 뒤 절반 이상이 '최고'를 외쳤다" "비는 미국 판타지 만화가 프랑크 프라제타의 캐릭터 같다"고 칭찬이 이어지고 있다.

워너브라더스가 제작한 <닌자 어쌔신>은 올해 하반기 중 개봉 시기를 가늠하고 있다.

Don't he has to appear on the court at 10th March? Maybe this is the reason why the date was canceled.

09.03.06 Movie site 'Collider' compliments after Ninja Assassin preview .

"Rain has made a lot of progress as an actor."

Singer and actor Rain's movie 'Ninja Assassin' is receiving positive evaluations after a preview in America.
The American movie site Collider posted its review of 'Ninjas Assassin' on the internet on the night of the 4th (domestic time).
"Compared to the supporting role in 'Speed Racer', Rain has made a lot of progress in this movie. Although his lines are short, he deserves a thumbs up for throwing away the boy band image for awful looks."
"The public will surely like this movie. It is like 'Kill Bill' with better CG" "Although this movie is a common martial arts movie on revenge, it's interesting that the training is held not in school but somewhere closer to prison".
This media evaluated 'Ninja Assassin' as stylish since the Wachowski brothers produced it. "It is already bloody even before the movie title appears. I was surprised to see the violent action such as people's head getting chopped off and bodies sliced.
The sight of intestines falling out, getting hit by a car and getting stabbed by a sword earned my applause. Like the movie '300', when the camera speed changes or the main character gets into a massive fight with the bad guys, the CG effect appears."
Even in the American movie database IMDB, evaluations say that "after the movie, over half of the people shouted out 'it was the best' " "Rain is like cartoonist Frank Frazetta's cartoon character".
produced by the Warner Brothers is aiming to release the movie by the second half of this year.
