Did you know he was listed on the Time magazine's "World's Most Influential People" list? Really? I guess he must have a lot of influence in South Korea, maybe throughout Asia. Through his music, soaps and so on. He plans to star in a movie next year but he says he has no desire to be in a big budget film. Maybe that's because he was a soap actor. Probably. Do you think he will ever be famous in the West? I hope so. At the moment he's studying English day and night because he wants to become famous in America. Before he visited the U.S., Rain already had a fan base thanks to Internet music sites, satellite TV and DVDs of his soap operas. He's also had two sell out concerts in the small venue at Madison Square Garden. Oh, so he's pretty popular over there already then? Yes. And he's releasing an English language album later this year. Great! Now I will be able to understand his songs! That's true.
