JY Park Reveals Plans for Rain


"What can you do if you simply throw an artiste there by himself? Going forward is a chance for us to develop by strategy". Singer- producer JY Park commented on Rain getting nominated one of Time 100 Most Influential People in the World. "Honestly, this is something we didn't anticipate", "Going forward, we need to develop according to strategy" he reveals future plans unhesitantly.

On the 10th at 9pm, JY Park expressed the following at SBS TV studio in Seoul during the press conference of "Superstar Survival", "All these happened faster than we thought it would", "We need to make up for time lost and are hence facing great pressure". JY Park coninued, "It is a big deal for Rain to be nominated as part of Time 100. Although I've lived in the US for 3 years, the Time I read in Korea just feels different." "You can't just throw an artiste there by himself. going forward, we need to develop a stronger strategy." He emphasized that success in the US is not just about having what it takes. You also need strong foundations and strong infrastructure.

In other words, it is necessary to have a system in order to break into the US market, to design to complement the taste of the US mass market, you need to rack your brains. More than anything else, to use the keywords "Asia" and "Hallyu" to build this system. He also expressed, "After the Time 100 party, it's been a long time since I've sat down and had a drink with Rain. We are very difference in characters. I am the kind to challenge. Rain is the conservative kind who will not make a move unless he is very well-prepared. Because of this, we complement each other's working style very well."

With regards to plans of Rain entering the US market, JY park indicates, "Within this year, we will come up with the logo for the US album. Once the logo is completed, it will not be rain, but Lim Jung hee and other black singers we have been cultivating in the US spearhead the drive into the US market. JY Park also said, "Rain will enter the market as a local artiste there", hinting that there are already much preparation going on in this project.

On the other hand, Rain will start his Asia Concert Tour from Japan and China, then Taiwan, Hong Kong, Phillippines etc 11 Asian countries.
