04.23.10 [Newsen] Rain’s Depression Story
Yes, you’ve heard his Love Story…but did you know about his Depression Story?
It’s about Rain feeling lonely and entertaining thoughts about death. The 28 year old spilled the beans about his depression on April 13 while filming KBS2TV’s Win Win variety show.
“I was so depressed and lonely that I had an extreme thought. I was flying one day and I wished the plane crashed. At least people would remember me as someone who was trying his best,” Rain confessed.
However, something stopped the singer/actor/ entrepreneur from ending his life – marriage. “I just couldn’t die before getting married!
“I always thought I was a strong person, but the depression that came over me at that time was just too much,” he revealed.
And when exactly did this happen?
It was when the Love Song singer was filming his US debut flick Ninja Assassin. While extremely happy and excited about the project initially, Rain eventually felt the pressure and loneliness while working in the United States.
“When I was cast for Ninja Assassin, I thought: ‘I’m finally becoming a star, I’m becoming Brad Pitt!’. I got so excited. I thought the cast and crew were too good for a first timer like me. I thought my day has finally come…and they even offered me a really nice house to live in.”
However, Rain decided to stick to the way he was used to. So he stayed in a humble house and practiced discipline. He was his own worst critic. “I put a photo of Bruce Lee on my fridge. I only ate lemon, cabbage, apples and chicken breasts. I did push-ups every time before shooting. The “battle” kept going on even at home after work,” Rain recalled.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was Yoo Jae-suk singing a carol on TV. It was during the Christmas holidays when lonely Rain tuned into Infinite Challenge. “I was watching Infinite Challenge and there was Yoo Jae-suk singing a carol. I found myself weeping. I thought to myself: ‘I’m supposed to be there too…’”
Rain’s Depression Story ends on a happy note – thank God. The Korean superstar completed filming Ninja Assassin and eventually got out of depression. “When shooting was finally over, the director gave me a bottle of soju. I finished it on the spot, and I also swore in Korean. They wouldn’t have understood it. I was really proud of myself. Really.”

04.23.10 [Update] Rain’s Physical Condition
Clouds, I’ve just read some updates about Rain. He went to KBS for pre-recording Music Bank for his next week’s comeback stage. He used to sing 2 songs but at the end he decided to record one song only (Love Song). As per some Korean Clouds said, his condition seemed better than yesterday but still not pretty good. It seems like he got flu. He got a stuffed nose and chills. His outfit for Love Song was in red color and recorded Love Song for 4 times. Although he didn’t feel well, but he did communicate with Clouds who attended the recording a lot and kept smiling.
OK, one more update.
Few clouds met him today and running with him under rain (It’s raining in Seoul today). They were about a foot apart from him and he seemed fine. His condition wasn’t that bad as we heard, just his face seemed wan. They said it briefly, so I didn’t know if it happened before or after the recording.

Rain in SBS TV 「Making Love Song MV & Interview 」 aired on 20 April 20
0:28~0:32
Thank many of you for coming here.
This is Rain who has returned with his special album.
0:38~0:49
I want to do a real and refreshing music, trying to remember when I first began.
0:51~0:59
Korean culture seems to have had a great deal of influence on the world cultures, so I think I should pay attention to my domestic fans (including my overseas fans)
1:17~1:28
The concept of this album is based on a ballad.
In terms of something wild, he (2PM's Taekyeon) is second to none in rending his clothes.
1:40~1:50
The reason why I've released my special album is because I just want to enjoy doing my favorite thing. I try to show my unique stage and performance belonging to a different sphere from the current idol groups'.
1:51~2:02
Q: Top singer 'Lee Hyo-Ri' has also returned to the musical stage.
Rain : During the pre-recording of a music program, I could see not one person whom I knew. So, being with 'Lee' I’ve known for a very long time, seems to make me happy.
2:16~2:43
As I became independent of JYP, I had to work really hard to decide what was going to happen with my own music style. Since what you want is my dance movement and performance, the creation of something different wasn't easy with counting them in.
2:54~3:27
During the promotion for the Ninja Assassin, I realized the truth that there are many things to do in the world that is wide. My name hadn't been known to Europe, America and so on, but after the promotion, major daily newspapers such as the Times, etc. came to have interviews with me, I've been called by the title, action star, and I've received overseas CF offers.
3:44~3:53
By the end of the Ninja Assassin shooting on the severe diet and exercise, when I dipped my finger into a grain of salt and had some, I had goose bumps all over as if I were a Vampire, and felt as if I were a human weapon.
4:22~4:36
The thing I missed the most was food.
I'm very angry if anyone will seize my food. Do I look like I may have some kind of disease?
4:47~5:10
It's around 1:00 am.
The scene that cost a tremendous amount of money, was shot with a helicopter early in the morning.
You'll figure it out when you see the scene.
Don't ask me.
Here is under the Cheongdam Bridge.
I don't want to lay my bones.
5:19~5:40
I don't think it's difficult, but it's too cold.
There is something unusual about this concept which will be called 'Bling Bling'.
The price of each of our stage clothes comes close to that of a car.
We're trying to do what is best.
5:54~55
My upper body is keeping falling below.
6:05
It's really hard to make ends meet with my body investment.
6:15~6:33
I'm determined to drink coffee and Dukbboki. I'll do work hard.
6:35~50
My dance team and I took exercise to look like real hunks for almost 2 months, managing to stick to our diet.
6:51~55
Our labors came to good, so we are heartened.
7:13
Han Ye-Seul : It seems to be essential that it shows the two being in love with each other.
7:36
Han Ye-Seul is so good at acting.
7:40~7:52
Thank to her help, I'm pulling this work off.
We are working in perfect. She is the greatest.
7:54
She has a very small face.
7:59
Han Ye-Seul : The director had a great job.
8:42
Han Ye-Seul : I'm shy of watching my scenes.
8:58~9:13
This MV is based on my real life.
When I once watched a scene in a movie after breaking up with my love one, a capital idea flashed into my mind, so I put my idea into action. Thus, this song has been created.
9:22~53
In the MV, my most attractive feature is my long and dark eyelashes which mean my soul.
I think I've never decorated my body with so many silver accessories.
10:01
Director : Rain's sound track is synchronizing with his action as if he doesn't lip-synch.
10:13
Director: Isn't it hard to perform as the sleeping heroine?
(Then she cupped her face in her hands)
10:43~11:10
Q: How have you overcome your hard times?
Rain : I had felt like giving up on my hard works, but I've looked at myself in the mirror once a day, hypnotizing myself by saying, 'I can do it'
I feel I'm turning over a strong-willed person who meets every obstacle undauntedly.
11:23
My late mother used to say to me, 'You'll eventually your part on the international stage.'
I'll try to do so.
11:34
My mother didn't have any money to take proper cure and finally died.
Our family had to fight for the poor, since there was no one to help us.
11:48
I made an appointment with my late mother 3 years ago, making a mental note, 'I'll surely dedicate this great award to her'
12:15
I'd like to do something great even in the years ahead.
Seven out of ten have been accomplished over my career.
I'll do my best to make my chances of success higher, so I ask for your continued support.

Brief translation by rain bird
13 Apr 2010 - KSB Win Win Show Translation Part 3.1
This is the part with Kim Tai Woo. Last part will follow.
MC: Rain is too harsh on himself (words on screen: strength which creates today’s Rain). You are so harsh on yourself, then what about to others?
Rain: As a matter of fact I am very lenient to people around me. For example, if Yourong asked me “Can you buy me a meal?” “Can you treat me to some nice food?”…
MC: Then you always buy meal for people around you?
Rain: Of course! I will always buy them meals (suddenly from far away “I disagree!”)
Screen: Very familiar voice. Who could that be? Secret guest: singer Kim Taiwoo. Stay tuned for the heated debate between Kim and Rain. (Rain: both nervous and happy)
Kim: Actually…
MC: May be you should first say hello (words on screen: impatient guest).
Kim: Hello everybody, this is KTW.
MC: Please state your objection
Kim: As an artist, Rain has very good image, but since recently we tend to be giving the truth, so today I come here to tell everyone the true side of Rain. I disagree just now because this kid is richer than JYP. (words on screen: birth of a billionaire? Swaying World Star). It’s true, It’s true.
Rain: It’s not like that! (words on screen: grievance) No.
Kim: But JYP will often buy us meals and drinks. Actually JYP hyun is not the type of people who likes to ask younger brother to pay, but even he once said to Rain: “Please be a host for once!”
Kim: You just said you often buy meals. So what happened?
Rain: That… I… I hold to my traditional view – which is you must ask your meal from your senior. This is my strong belief.
Huajing: But you have so much income.
Rain: It’s not like that. I said no just now. (words on screen: denying actively). JYP definitely is richer.
Kim: No way, this kid has more money (words on screen: please don’t lie, Jungjihoon) Actually I can also buy him meals, but this friend of mine is just too busy.
Rain: Wow, Wait a minute, wait a minute (words on screen: grievance) I have hinted to him many times that he should buy me a meal, but every time he said he’s busy (words on screen: Rain’s view: Kim is the one who claims to be busy)
Kim: You know how he contacted me? “From next Tuesday onwards I will be on the road. I have time next Friday, so please buy me a meal at that time” (words on screen: general notice)
Kim: I… actually as an artist, I am also busy! (Rain: Oh my god!)
MC: Then did Rain ever treated you for a meal?
Kim: Just once! (words on screen: general notice) I planned to be host then, but while we were having dinner, I kept saying “Don’t you think you are too much? People should pay back hospitality!” So Rain got mad and said “OK, I got it. I pay today!”
Rain: I didn’t get mad! (words on screen: that’s really too much!)
Rain: (words on screen: on the opposite) But Hyun is the same, you have never treated me for a meal after GOD. (words on screen: GOD disbanded 5 years ago!)
MC: Then, Mr. Kim, you really make me speechless (words on screen: these two men are just the same)
Kim: I have something to say about that. (words on screen: justified). I released a personal album “Words I want to say” after GOD dissolved, but it didn’t sell very well. And afterwards I have to attend military service. My monthly salary is only 87,000 won at that time.
Rain: But up till now, my view is still that “hyun you should treat me for a meal”.
MC: What is the age gap between hyun and Rain?
Rain: (laughed). Only 1 year difference.
Huajing: Then you could be called friends.
Rain: No, we can’t be called friends as of yet. I have followed Hyun since I was young, so I have to call him Hyun. (MC: then Kim should treat Rain for a meal) (words on screen: Hyun should pay for the meal).
Rain: Of course, this is my position and I can insist this to the end. (laughed)
Kim: That’s where I disagree. OK, I agree Hyun should pay for the meal. So when this boy said to me: “Hyun, you ask me to play the host, but as soon as I am the host, your are not Hyun to me anymore” (words on screen: younger brother turned into friend)
Of course I replied without any hesitation: “I can call you Hyun, please be the host”. And I called him “Jihoon hyun”!
Kim: As a matter of fact, based on the number of fans, popularity and money, who should be the host?
Xinying: Rain of course!
Kim: And recently he treated me just like friends. He even started talking to me in semi formal language first. (words on screen: use semi formal words to Hyun). I know Jihoon for 10 years, but this guy recently started to talk to me in semi formal style. When he phoned, he should have said “Yes, Hyun”, but now it becomes, “oh, hyun, your song is not bad to listen to recently”. (comment: this related to the different tones in the Korean language which is difficult to be translated properly).
Rain: Hyun is worse than me in this case. JYP is 15 years older than us. (words on screen: shake head). But he uses semi formal language to JYP. (words on screen: no hesitation to use semi formal words). I learn it all from him! (words on screen: suffer from owns actions!)
Rain: But you know, if you look carefully, when JYP and us are together, JYP seemed to become the youngest brother.
Kim: No, JYP is Hyun to me. (words on screen: what are you talking about).
(words on screen: sorry, World Star’s suffering period)
Kim: Actually, JYP really make us feel very relaxed, just like friends. (words on screen: deep relationship between the 3).
Huajing: The Rain that we don’t know about?
Kim: Jihoon has been a friend who will become a star
Huajing: You think like this since you met him as a trainee?
Kim: Right. Talking about the trainee period, he almost had no time for rest. He practiced his dancing non stop. I have gone through the same, so I know how hard it was. Moreover, when you have a successful first album, you tend not to work as hard on the 2nd one. But Jihoon is not like that. This man works harder and harder than before. Looking at him, I realize he is a terrible junior I will have to face.
Kim: But to tell you the truth, I have not expected him to be so prominent. I am very proud of having such a junior.
Rain: I still remember the “bread of tears” story. (words on screen: bread soaked with tears). That day was Christmas Eve. There were 4-5 trainees including myself. We were really hungry so I called Taiwoo hyun. “Hyun, we have a few people here, we want to eat some bread.” And Hyun bought two cases of bread for us.
Kim: At that time our album “Lies” just came out.
Rain: Such a famous star and on Christmas eve, I don’t have anyone else I could call anyway, but they were at the top at that time, and it was during the golden period of Christmas eve. But Hyun came and bought us bread. I am very grateful and I remember this until today.
MC: To Kim, what kind of brother is Rain?
Kim: He’s a younger brother by age, but is more like a senior brother. Watching him so serious with his work, he’s like a senior brother. He really works hard to make Korea known to the whole world, to help Korea develop better as it moves forward.
(words on screen: Proud of the younger brother Rain who lets the world know “Korea”. Hope you will be famous all over the world)
MC: Then to Rain, what kind of brother is Kim?
Rain: Actually he’s a terrible guy, but sometimes he’s a bit….
MC: Sorry everybody
Rain: He will tell me what wouldn’t work. He will grasp me without hesitation. I learn a lot from hyun, and I respect hyun a lot. After we know each other for long, he is like a friend more than a brother. No matter what, I think hyun should have expectation from me.
MC: So if it is not brother, then who should pay for the meal in future.
Rain: I will be the host!
MC: Today Kim revealed to us a lot about you. Do you feel being wronged in some aspects?
Rain: I will say it when he’s gone. (words on screen: thank you for bring us such happy stories, they are like sweet memories.)
