0:27~0:31
Rain : Hello, O’live family.

This is singer Rain who’s been chosen as May’s Style Icon by O’live channel.

0:43~0:57
Q: What is the biggest appeal of this album?

Rain : It is the aesthetics of temperance in the silence [the beauty of saying something with a whisper rather than a shout, achieving an effect through subtlety and restraint. —Stephe ^@@^]. Title track ‘Love Song’ which has a 4 beat rhythm may be a Korean style ballad, but its powerful element is the understated choreography and clothes.

0:05~1:17
Q: What is the difference between actor ‘Jung Ji-Hoon’ and singer Rain, in terms of style?

Rain : In comparison with singer Rain who likens himself to a fish caught at sea, actor ‘Jung Ji-Hoon’ may be compared to a farmed fish. I’m aware of myself of being a singer, while much remains to be done as an actor. I like them both.

1:26~1:32
Q : What’s your definition? What is your own style?

Rain : Complete freedom to do as I wish.

1:33~1:42
Rain : “Michael Jackson and my father are role models for me, on stage and in my life, respectively.

1:49
Q: What’s your plan in 2010?

Rain : Now I’m active with my special album released this year, and thank many of you for giving ‘Love Song’ your love. I plan to follow up with second single ‘Hip Song’, and then I’ll appear in a drama.

I ask for your continued support and love.

Thank you.
