According to the Chinese Yahoo, Rain won the 2005's Best Star internet poll at first place, defeating chinese singer Lee Woo Choon who won second and Taiwan singer Joo Gul Ryoon who won fourth, and Hong Kong singer Yoo Duk Wha who won fifth.
Last year September, according to the Times Magazine, wrote an article titled [Korean Strength that cannot be beat] for Rain's attempt to enter the American Music Market.
After he collected the acceptance within Asian, Rain decided on his entrace to the American market. He hoped for success in the Asian market and showed his hope to be the first Asian to succeed in the American market. At the beginning of this month, Rain finally had his chance on the great New York Madison Square Garden's stage. With the title [RainyDay in New York], he was able to meet many of his American fans.
The day before the concert, the New York Times showed a lot of interest in his work. This article stated that Rain is already Korea's representative, even calling him the ambassador. It also mentioned the fact that Korea is sweeping Asia by the storm and it is a unique and high quality culture which is a good choice to introduce to the American Culture.
In preparation for the New York concert, Rain worked so hard day and night, lacking sleep, to learn english and make the finishing touches on his songs. To break down the cultural barriers and to be accepted into the American market, Rain is anticipating to introduce an english album in October...
But some things didn't go right for Rain... the New York times did not rate Rain's concert at Madison Square Garden well... they said that his performance was like watching a collection of performances by previous American artists such as Michael Jackson... it also said that his concert seems like watching past MTV's programs in korean.
Rain has not had a smooth past because before his debut, he was told by many producers that his eyes were too small and that they will accept him only after he had plastic surgery on his eyes. But he wanted to show his true self so he kept going to become accepted by another producer. He says that the reason why he decided to keep his true image was due to what one doctor has told him, [if you have plastic surgery, your true charm will be lost]...
It seems that if Rain just keeps going in his ways and learns from his experiences, he will be able to suceed in the American market.
Rain's success in the Asian Market is in part due to the huge role of the JYP Entertainment. To provide the help and advise to bring up the Best Korean Singer, the Entertainment Company has spend a lot of there time and effort. The huge amount of money spent and their patience which stated in the 90shad led to the great success in the 21st century.
This month, the korean drama [Full House] is going to be presented with English subtitles on one of New York's Cable Television channels. This is a great event because it shows that Korea is spreading its culture to so many parts of the world. Korean influence on many areas of the business world is being shown.
Rain's motto is [Always work hard giving it your all, Always be humble, have endless perserverance]... If you think about it, Rain himself is the motto itself, without question...
"Taiwan's So Chon King Joo Gul Ryoon, Wang Lee Hom, and other companies said, they take Rain's honorable status as a competitive practice model to work harder..."
