Behind the scene of Rain's concert
Note from Kate666:
Here's write-up about Rain's BKK concerts by the head organizer, Ms. Charlotte Tonavanik ( that middle-aged lady that led Rain through the crowd at the airport). Well, this is their first concert and like the interntational fans, the Thai fans didn't enjoy their works from the beginning either but after the concerts finished, Thai fans seem to be very satisfied and very happy because the concerts have made such a hugh impact. The organizers own or are related in some ways to several Thai media, Channel 7, radio, newspapers, etc. Thanks to them, Rain's fans are no longer the minority in Thailand. ^_^ Sangdoo will end on Channel 7 next week and after that, we will get a rerun of Full House. Rain still falls heavily here.

As soon as ID-Media were given an authorization for this event, everything must be done very hurriedly because JYP Entertainment, which is Rain's label gave us a reply at the end of December 2005 and the concert was due on 25 February 2006. All works had to be done in a hurry including finding sponsorships and finding all the needed equipments, which some of these we had to order from aboard 'cause they were not available domestically.
I'd like to confess here that when I saw the list and the specifications of the equipments that were requested, then I went like "Oh Gosh!!!!". Every single bit was 1st grade and was all very high specifications. My partners had to discuss whether we could reduce the size of the stage and the equipments so that we could reduce our investment , but finally, we concluded that if we would like to do it, we would have to "give it all" for the best and completeness of the concert and the audience would be satisfied. So, if my readers went to the concert, you would have seen that the openning of the concert which was Rain jumping up on to the stage but you would never know that we had to order that equipment from abroad 'cause the ones available in Thailand couldn't give an adequate height. So, when Rain jumped once, that's a hundred thousand baht!!!
When JYP crews arrived at 4 days before the concert, they worked really hard. I can honestly say they worked like a world class and they weren't fussy, if there was a problem, then they just tried to solve it. They weren't bashing or anything, or maybe it was because we were all Asians, so we had a fair understanding about eachother. As I told you about the "go inter" strategy (export) of Korea was very strategic (LOL sorry for my limited vocabs). See Rain's songs for an example, his songs are all melody-driven and all are inserted with English phrases so if we don't understand Korean, those English phrases might help us more or less. Besides that, JYP also thought about the lyrics translations so that the audience could be mesmerized by the song, so they asked for a Thai translation of the lyrics in the concert. That's why when Rain sang the song for his late mom, several audiences got tears in their eyes, no matter that they don't understand Korean. But the expressions, both body languages and his eyes, are what the Korean crews emphasized and that can help foreigners to understand their works easily.
What's lack by the Korean crews is the communication. Most of them couldn't speak English. The crews were about 60 people in total so we had to bring as many as 6 interpreters. Someone told me that Rain wouldn't be able to to be the World super star (now Asian super star) because his crews still couldn't speak English, but I couldn't agree more. Rain is seriously learning English for his aim which is the world pop star, and JY Park also has some business base in America and some part of his life is in America and he's also a producer to a lot of American artists so I think Rain should be able to reach his goal.
Now, Rain's fans might want me to write about Rain himself. Then I will write about him in the next part. All I can tell is that if you read it , you will know that "Rain is so cute".
