Rain’s Focus is upon Singing in the Second Semester

Rain, both singer and actor, is going to be concentrated on musical activities the coming half of the year.

Except for attending short-term itinerary foreign events from late March till present, Rain has stayed mostly at Busan and been absorbed in the shooting of his first debut film ‘I’m A Cyborg, But It’s Okay’ the movie by the director Park Chanwook.

In this way, having focused on acting rather than musical activities last first half of year, Rain plans on activities as a singer back again throughout the Asia, if the shooting of the film ‘I’m A Cyborg, But It’s Okay’ should be finished late this month.

First, Rain releases his first regular album in Japan coming August. Having got the ninth place on the Oricon Daily Single Chart in Japan through his second single song ‘Free Way’ which was shown last June 7th, he is going to move on a steady involvement over Japan with a brisk promotion on the locale after the release of his first regular album.

His company JYP Entertainment said, “The work of the first regular album within Japan is finished, and Rain will have longer activities in Japan than when he released last two single albums.”

Also, after the 4th regular album release in Korea coming October, he is to open a large-scale showcase in Seoul for the sake of the fans over the whole Asia.

And then Rain enters into the Asia tour concerts from late this year after domestic activities of the 4th regular album whose producer Park Jinyoung will be.

Until April next year, Rain will have a total of 34 concerts in 11 Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippine, Malaysia and Indonesia to set up a steady position as a representative Korean singer.
