Rain is not speaking in english. He is really good and fluent in english. He knows what you're talking about when you speak english to him. This video must be old or something and probally didn't know how to speak english back then.
why does he have to speak English fluently? He is korean. Does any hollywood celebrity learn other languages for interviews in Asia? no, i think rain's English has to be just enough for memorizing his lines. learning a new language is very very difficult it takes years of learning and apprently he doesn't really have time to do that. he also makes career around asia he doesnt stick to hollwood.
no offense does he not have clear answer to his first question? His response to "how did you come up with your name, Rain" He always changes it LOL it's been like that even in Korea when interviewers asked him in the past. Seriously Rain, what's the real reason? LOL
No, it's just a way for people to get an idea of how big he is in Asia and now around the world. When you say "Korean Michael Jackson", it makes people who don't know who he is yet think "oh, he must be huge!" I mean in music, no ones been bigger than MJ ever. It's like Elvis, The Beatles, and MJ. That's a compliment. Plus people say that about American stars too. Like Justin is often compared to MJ.
OKay... I know that Rain know how to speak english, bUt why isn't he talking in english. I was really disappointed. Probably Rain has too much on his time to talk in english. english is a very hard language to learn. I understand Rain, but it would be nice to hear him in english.
Hi there, i think it should b better Rain uses Korean for reply. It wouldn't b nice for him to speak in english when he's not really prepared, especially when this would b aired in public. We're going to c him speaking in english in his upcoming movie anyway, so no worries. It just a matter of time.
Plus, Rain wouldn't want to b misinterpretted by d media for any remarks. U know, for those "just in cases"
i read in an AMERICAN magazine that they described him as the asian justin timberlake!! hes soo hot!! i think hes coming to North Carolina soon!! i can't wait!! i'm goin!!!
heh... i think the american justin timberlake oughta be minwoo esp since he's from a boyband too. rain could be an usher/chris brown/omarion though...
oops i mean asian JT not american. interview is kinda boring though. nothing really funny. i know rain's a really sincere nice guy but hmm not enough personality in my opinion. probably gonna get blasted by fanatics now but its just an opinion, not to diss him or anything.
actually jt and usher both are modified/updated versions of the mj style anyway so if you wanna trace roots then it'd be him. besides its not like rain would have grown up watching jt so how's he gonna get inspired by him? but yes i agree mj's a total freak now but asian artistes who were inspired by him dont seem to mind that much.
Well, Rain is also known as Asian MJ due to his ability to draw crowds of fan n his dancing skill. It has nothing to do with MJ's personal scandals. Pls understand this point
Despite all the haters out there, I liked this interview and I appreciate this video being added.
