Rain is a Korean pop star whose real name is Jung JI-hong (鄭智熏). He is famous in Asia for both his
R&B music and TV roles. His mother died of diabetes (糖尿病) six years ago. The huge sadness kept him
away from drink, night life and girls. He concentrated on performing, as his mother gave up medical care
so he could train professionally." I'm like the usual 25-year- old who wants to hang out with friends and
have a girlfriend," Rain told the New York Daily News. "But when my mother passed away, I made up my
mind that I would be the top star to honor her. I don't feel sorry for this lifestyle."
Rain had been rejected 18 times by artistic management companies for the reason "he was too tall and
too ugly." But now he has performed in several Asian countries as well as the USA. A lot of people are
infatuated (傾倒) with Rain's music and dancing talents. In April 2006, the Time magazine named him the
second most influential (有影響的) entertainer (藝人) in the world. The future of Rain is bright.
