He lost one of his idols.

As we briefly mentioned for new fans in a previous post, and as you longtime Clouds all know, Rain’s birthday is coming up on June 25.  He’s scheduled to be on stage that day, working the ZEPP Fukuoka show (which isn’t that surprising—it’s usually a global fanmeeting that is scheduled.  Rain has worked on that day, and straight through the Christmas holidays, for years.)  But this summer, the sad thing is that June 25 is also the day Michael Jackson died in 2009.  That’s right… Rain’s idol, the matchless entertainer who inspired young Ji-Hoon to dance his way to mega-stardom, passed away on Rain’s birthday.

May MJ rest in peace, and Rain continue to thrill us show after show, in Micheal’s stead.
