Rain triggers Korean wave across the Pacific

No Korean Wave star seems to have achieved more than multi-entertainer Rain in 2005. All across Asia, Rain gained unprecedented popularity through his live performances and TV drama appearances, just three years after he debuted as a singer in 2002.


Rain's popularity is distinguished from that of other Korean Wave stars such as singer Boa and actor Bae Yong-jun.


Boa specializes in performing and Bae just acts, but Rain does both very well.


During his 'Rainy Day' Asian tour, which began in January, Rain poured out his charismatic singing and dancing onto audiences that have packed out concert venues in Japan, Hong Kong and China.


Dubbed the 'Korean Justin Timberlake,' Rain's breath-taking talents were first recognized by the Asian pop scene.


Rain, 23, became popular as an actor when he played a cool and adorable guy in Full House, one of the most popular TV series of 2004. He is currently starring in the KBS drama This Killing Love.


Rain is now ready to take on another challenge which will prove whether he can become a global pop artiste outside Asia.


He is to hold his Rainy Day--New York concert at Madison Square Garden on Feb 2, becoming the first Korean singer to enter the American pop market.


His producer and mentor Park Jin-young is certain that Rain's US concert will turn out to be a success.


If so, it may send the Korean Wave further across the Pacific Ocean to touch another continent.
