{*Edited to Add: Good grief. I should have included that “Bad Guy” won its video category, and that Rain performed with Rich and Wheesung (휘성). I was just way too hyped. LOL! ^@@^)
Aigoo! I have been waiting for this thing to be re-uploaded, and here it is—Rain’s performance in 2002 (debut year) at the Mnet Music Festival, where he was so RnB’d out and soul’d out that I thought his voice was going to kill me. He was a Brotha from anotha planet, point blank period. Not to mention, the MIB thing was cute indeed!
Holy smokes! *DIES*

I was just glad nobody was in the way of that door or it would have been a bad concussion for sure. LOL
Gurrrl, Baby Boy IS tall. 6’1″. Every time my son hugs me (he’s the same height and weight as JiHoon), that will come to my mind because I’ll be standing on my toes and I mean, that’s a real wow for me because I’m 5’8″!

Hey, hey now loved this so much, but also they may be singing men in black but its actually Patrice Rushen’s forget me not tune. I’m not trying to correct you Stephe (hands in the air) just saying. JiHoon lawd I love that mans voice its rich. uh uh uh
LikeLike
That was my era. I lived Rushen back in the day and her music was a favorite anytime I was up in Da Club (and still is). As far as MIB goes, what was cute was how they did the choreography that was in the MIB music video. I wasn’t giving MIB credit for the song. (I love whenever I hear it because I know sista’s getting paid)
