We adore vintage FanClub!
And we absolutely love the song “Baby.” What happened with FanClub’s management was simply a tragedy, because as far as we’re concerned, the group should have made it. They had the look, the sound, and the energy. And our Ji-Hoon stood out in a crowd even way back then. His dancing was so SHARP. And his voice… even at that age, he sounded like a grown man while the other boys sounded like, well, boys. (But if they had made it… does that mean our Ji-Hoon would not have become 비 ?)
Enjoy this live performance! As we understand it, this was around 1999, when he was 16 or 17. Rain starts the dancing off front and center, gets the first four lines of the song, and then slides back in with a final, “Check, baby—check, baby—won’t you be mine!” before dominating the right side the rest of the time. With that tall body, ink-black hair, and those long bangs, what a cutie. You just want to take him home.) — Stephe ^@@^

As observant as JYP is, you may be right. I had never considered that. He was heavily into his own singing career at the time, so it stands to reason they wouldn’t hook up until years later…
