Luminescence with: Rain - Jung Ji Hoon ( Korean artist)
HYSTORY: Rain was born in Seoul. He became interested in R&B and Hip-hop dancing in the 6th grade. As an adolescent, he was a member of a boy band called Fan club. The group was short-lived, and soon disbanded. Rain then began auditioning for various talent agencies. In a CNN interview, however, he recalled being repeatedly rejected because of his looks: "In fact, I was told after one audition that my singing and dancing was great but I didn't make it because I didn't have double eyelids. Finally, Rain entered an audition for Korean talent agency JYP Entertainment. Park Jin Young, the CEO of the agency, took a personal interest in Rain and accepted him as a trainee. During the early years of training, Rain was a backup dancer .
In 2002 he debuted with the album Bad Guy where he was introduced to the media through his stage name, Rain. The album's title single Bad Guy was a hit. After his first album, he took time off from his career as a singer to star in the drama series, Sang Doo! Let's Go To School. Following the success of his debut as singer and actor, Rain released his second album How to Avoid The Sun, and had another hit with the title song "Ways to Avoid the Sun."
In 2004, he starred in another successful drama called "Full House", which was one of the highest-rated Korean dramas of all time with ratings of over 30% for every episode. It was broadcasted in many other countries including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. Through Full House, Rain was recognized across Asia. His performance in the drama also won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards.
In 2004, Rain earned greater recognition by winning the MTV Asia Grand Slam, securing top honors in all the Asian countries which broadcast MTV Asia. Rain won the Favorite Korean Artist at the 2005 MTV Asia Aid held in Bangkok, the Most Popular Asian Artist Award from Channel [V] Thailand, the Best Buzz Asia Award during the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2005 (He won Best buzz ASIA as well as Orange Range and Stefanie Sun.) and the Best Korean Singer award in the MTV-CCTV Mandarin Music Honors in Beijing. Rain was also the first Asian performing artist ever[ to be invited to the 2005 American MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, as well as the 2005 MTV Latin Video Music Awards in Mexico. These accomplishments earned Rain a lot of media attention, including interviews with Time Asian Edition and CNN Talk Asia. Rain also won the Best Korean Singer Award 2005 at the Mandarin Music Honors in Taiwan.
Rain then went on his RAINY DAY 2005 Tour, starting in Seoul and followed by Tokyo and Hong Kong; due to his fame and his extravagant performances, tickets sold out quicklyHis first solo concert in Japan last summer, entitled Rainy Day Japan held at the Tokyo International Forum, was so popular that all the tickets were sold out 30 seconds after going on sale. The tickets for another of his concerts in Taiwan were sold out the moment they became available also. His performances in Hong Kong also sold out in a couple of hours. Rain continues to set records in Asia. Now planning to go beyond Japan and Hong Kong, Rain will make a foray into China by giving a concert in Beijing.
In April 2006, he was mentioned in the Time magazine website article that named the "100 Most Influential People Who Shape Our World. In 2007, Rain topped Time Magazine's online user poll, although he was not in the magazine's actual list. He has an ongoing joke feud with Stephen Colbert for the top spot. He also made it into People's 2007 list of the "Most Beautiful People" in the world.

My comment: ”Jung Ji Hoon is this star which shines a little bit more than the others, because he brings this little plus of emotion to the youngsters and the elders who still have a child heart. Jung Ji Hoon (Rain) weeps « inside »! It’s this hyper-emotiveness that gives him the strength to fight and reach the goal he wanted to reach. A gigantic charisma full of will, of determination and tenderness, as if he had his “heart close to his lips”.
Through his shining soul with an intense, almost supernatural light, Jung Ji Hoon transposes his mother’s love and tenderness through a great talent. Jung Ji Hoon has transmitted to me a small amount of his inside sun… Jung Ji Hoon is a young man full of passion who must be supported and loved, without any doubt, for the happiness of everyone.”
"Jung Ji hoon est cette étoile qui brille un peu plus que toutes les autres, car il apporte ce petit plus d'émotion, aux jeunes et moins jeunes qui ont gardé un coeur d'enfant.. Jung Ji hoon(Rain) pleure 'à l'intérieur' ! C'est cette hyper-émotivité ,qui lui donne la force de vaincre et d'atteindre le but qu'il s'est fixé. Un charisme énorme empreint de volonté, de détermination et de tendresse, un peu comme s'il avait 'le coeur au bord des lèvres' .
Au travers de son âme qui brille d'une lumière intense, un peu surnaturelle, Jung Ji hoon transpose l'amour et la tendresse de sa mère, au travers d'un immense talent. Jung Ji Hoon m'as transmis un peu de son soleil intérieur, ...Jung Ji Hoon est un jeune homme passionné, qu'il faut soutenir et aimer, incontestablement, pour le bonheur de tous"
