Guest Blast from the past: Rain’s co-DJ KCM covers It’s Raining.
— Written by: Stephe Thornton, Managing Editor ^@@^
If you’ve been enjoying Private First Class Jung JiHoon’s brand new military radio show Speeding Instinct, on 96.7 Friends FM out of Seoul, you should be acquainted with his co-DJ, Private First Class Kang ChangMo (popular singer KCM), by now as well.
ChangMo, also born in 1982, debuted in 2004 and specializes in Rhythm & Blues and ballads. He has released a slew of albums and, like crooner Kim JongKook, is well known for his muscles and beautiful falsetto voice. At least four (if not more) of his songs have ended up on K-drama OSTs (original soundtracks), which tells me he definitely knows what he’s doing. He enlisted in the ROK Army in November 2011, the month after Rain reported for duty.
Perhaps that’s why Rain and KCM are so easy-going and have so much rapport in the DJ booth—they have a lot more in common than their birth year.
It really made me grin when I ran across this fun Blast from 2005, when KCM did his own cutesy version of Rain’s hit song “It’s Raining”. Love it. What a smile! And if we know Rain, poor ChangMo had a detailed critique coming after that performance. LOL!
Congratulations on your radio show, you two! Keep doing what you do, and take it to No. 1 in the ratings! (Wow, fans, can we stand it? All of that double delectable handsomeness on the mic every Saturday and Sunday! Christmas has come early this year.) 🙂

“Promise”, from KCM’s album Expresso (2009), is also on K-Drama East of Eden‘s OST and is my favorite KCM song. Expresso itself has been described by many as soul-stirring. Give it a listen sometime. ^@@^

KMC’s voice is really sweet and he can dance, his cover of It’s raining is one of the best I’ve seeing! I’m sure JiHoon and him are gonna do a great job during military service. 😀
