.Xinhua News Agency, the state-run news service of China, extensively reported on Feb. 5, "Singer Rain showed New Yorkers that Asians can dance".

Xinhua said, "Singer Rain, a pop star from South Korea, gave his first solo concert at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, the United States on Feb. 2 and 3, local time. He introduced his own dynamic songs and dances".
