This man who has dominated the Asian music scene for more than 10 years - Rain Zheng Zhixun has recently returned to the spotlight. Since his debut in 2002, his status as a king has never been shaken! In 2006 and 2011, Rain is still the only Asian artist to be selected for the second time.
Rain married Kim Tae-hee in 2017. The two gave birth to two daughters in a low-key manner and walked through rumors. From a series of dance videos released by Rain recently, we can get a glimpse of his daily life and find that his success is definitely not accidental!
1. The melancholy boy who likes to get wet in the rain
Rain was born on June 25, 1982. With this figure and face, can you believe that he is an old male god in his 40s? When he debuted in 2002, Rain gave himself the stage name "비" (pronunciation: Bi | Translation: Rain). There is no reason, just because he likes to get wet in the rain. Why do you like to get wet in the rain? "I think the rain is very melancholy."
2. Poor families have broken childhood
Rain The most charming thing about Rain is the eyes that squint into a line when they smile! Such a man who always smiles in front of the camera can never imagine how miserable his childhood was - When Rain was 15 years old, his father, who failed in business, left a note and left a note, and the burden of life fell on his mother who was suffering from diabetes at the time.
2000 Rain died of uremia while recording his first album. At that time, the two lived in an unheated iron house. Later, when Rain recalled this past on the show, he said that his mother told him to take good care of his sister before leaving. This last words became his motivation for life.
After Rain finally achieved success in his career, he forgave his father and took him back to South Korea from Brazil. For a long time, he lived in a mansion with his father, sister, stepmother and half-brother.
3. A lifelong noble person JYP Park Jin-young
Agency company JYP Entertainment was founded by Park Jin-young, who made Rain famous at that time. In 2000, JYP met Rain, who was 17 years old at the time. He immediately saw his dancing talent and unremitting spirit. JYP was determined to use all resources to make this boy famous!
With the common struggle of the two, the name Rain finally made the name Rain play a big hit in South Korea, and even became one of the first singers to enter the Western music scene in the 2000s! Korean media often say that JYP is Rain's greatest noble person in his life. At that time, JYP raised money for his mother's medical expenses, and JYP was always with Rain when Rain's mother passed away. But JYP said in an interview that it was Rain's down-to-earth attitude that allowed him to reach his current position.
4. When I became a street gangster because of learning to dance,
When I was in the second grade of middle school, Rain had already found the greatest enthusiasm in his life - dancing. Unlike many new generations of Korean artists today, Rain did not start learning dance in order to become famous in one fell swoop. If he hadn't met JYP and forced him to learn singing, his ambition would be to become a professional dancer.
However, the impression of young dancers in the 1990s was a group of street gangsters who didn’t like to read, but in fact, they always practiced dancing wildly on hungry. In order not to worry the school and mother, Rain ran between the dance troupe and the school, but was often scolded by the teachers for not studying seriously, and the dance troupe brothers said they did not practice seriously.
5. It was twice selected as the impeccable dance foundation of Time magazine
Rain. Perhaps it is why when he was named the Asian dance king in the music scene, no one dared to say he was dissatisfied, and no one dared to give him this name yet.
Rain's king status also made him rated as the 100 most influential person in the world by Time magazine in 2006 and 2011. He is still the only Asian artist to be selected for the second time!
6. Starring " Full House " has skyrocketed in popularity
Rain's achievements have not stopped in the music circle.In 2004, Rain and Song Hye Kyo starred in "Full House", and their popularity once again soared! Many fans started falling in love with this man from this work!
The innocent and romantic big boy has a sexy figure, but he doesn’t show his cute and naughty appearance at times. Who doesn’t love such a cute contrast?
After "Full House", Rain starred in "This Damn Love" and "Escaper Plan.B", both of which received good reviews. A few years after she retired from the film industry in 2010, Rain once again returned to the small screen with "She is Cute to Me", and his love sketch with Krystal, Jung Soo-jin once again captured the hearts of fans.
7. The romance has been constant but never revealed.
The drama fans who started chasing Rain from "Full House" must be familiar with his rumored girlfriends! In addition to Song Hye Kyo, Korean media also revealed his secret relationship with another Korean goddess, Jun Ji-hyun, ! But all of these news was denied by Rain. After 20 years of debut, Rain's private life has always been quite low-key.
8. Love is special to him.
Rain's only confession is love with Kim Tae-hee. The two made their relationship public in 2013, but the relationship between the Korean pop king and the No. 1 beauty in South Korea was not favored at the time. However, under the careful protection of the two, the relationship lasted for 4 years and a low-key wedding was held in 2017! The wedding of the two Korean superstars only invited three or five friends and released two black and white photos! Perhaps it is because Rain and Kim Tae-hee just want to keep the essence of love.
Time also proves that this love and family affection deserves such care. The two of them welcomed two daughters in 2017 and 2019. When the entire entertainment industry was full of breakups, Rain happily showed off his daughter's double eyelids on Instagram: "I feel relieved if the child is like a mother."
9. She is the best gift in her life
Rain released a new song "The Best Gift" in the same year. The lyrics express his fantasy about love and family: "You who smiles brighter than the sun, you who are whiter than the wedding dress, shed tears of happiness, feel the fragrance of the tears, and walked towards me, the best gift God gave me..."
In fact, when Rain joined the army in 2011, he experienced a dark period. At that time, he chose to be the most relaxed art soldier in the Korean army. His popularity plummeted and the company he founded became infamous because of this. But his wife Kim Tae-hee has always been by my side. Rain once said, "She is with me when I am working hard and happy, and has always touched me a lot."
10. Super self-disciplined daily life
Rain released several dance videos not long ago, causing the entire social media to explode! How self-discipline should a man in his 40s, a man who is deeply nourished by love and family, maintain such muscle lines? And the dance skills of this Asian dance king still beat the young and handsome guys in the boy group today.
