Rain
Rain came up through Park Jin-young's JYP Entertainment in Seoul and debuted in 2002 with the album 나쁜 남자 and its title track "Bad Guy," a slinky R&B slow jam that made his name at home almost immediately. What set him apart in early-2000s K-pop was the combination of a husky, soulful voice and precise, physical dancing, and it carried him well beyond Korea — by the middle of the decade he was starring in the hugely popular drama Full House and filling arenas across Asia, one of the first Korean solo acts to pull that off.

It's Raining (2004). This third album is where everything clicked. The title track "It's Raining" is his signature hit, all swagger and tight choreography, and "I Do" shows the softer R&B side that made him a star across Asia.
Biography
Jung Ji-hoon (Korean: 정지훈; born June 25, 1982), known professionally as Rain and Bi (비; ['piː]), is a South Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and record producer. Rain's musical career includes seven albums (six Korean, one Japanese), 28 singles and numerous concert tours around the world. He achieved breakthrough success with his third Korean album, It's Raining (2004), which spawned the number one single of the same name. The album sold over 200,000 copies in South Korea and one million copies throughout Asia, and established Rain as an international star.
Rain made his acting debut in the 2003 drama Sang Doo! Let's Go To School. His lead role in the pan-Asia hit drama Full House (2004) established his status as a Hallyu star. In 2008, Rain made his Hollywood debut in the film Speed Racer and starred in Ninja Assassin (2009), the latter of which made him the first Korean to win a MTV Movie Award. Rain has set up his own company twice, the first being J. Tune Entertainment in 2007, and R.A.I.N. Company in 2015.
