Featured CFs: Rain and Lee Hyori for the KB Card “Leather Style” campaign (April 2008). One of the funniest things I remember from behind the scenes: They were both a little awkward and stiff at first, hadn’t worked together in a long while, so the director asked them to lighten things up, look happy. “Laugh with each other!” That’s what these pros did. In no time flat, they became warm and at ease, and laughed, and grinned, and kept on grinning until they got downright silly. At which time the director instructed, “Not that much.” LOL~ ^@@^
KB Card CF 30sec.
Making of CF on Section TV. English subbed.
Here is an episode from Season 1 of Rain’s RAINY DAY reality TV show (there were 3 seasons) that we used to watch from Mnet Japan. Japanese subbed. It was freezing on set, so Rain spent a lot of time snuggled down in a parka. He also seemed to have a bit of nervous energy (very unusual for him), and seemed a lot happier backstage. (Minute marker 4:08, to the cameraman: “Stop filming!”) But he got the job done like the pro he is, and was pretty impressed with the motorcycle they got for the CF. He probably would have ridden it home if he could have. (Smelling the delicious aroma of those pastries because he couldn’t afford the calories, LOL!)
I miss RAINY DAY a lot. Even now, Saturdays aren’t the same without it. ㅜ_ㅜ ^@@^
Rain is Eternal. Where clouds stay gathered, rain will always come. It is inevitable.

Any thoughts on why they did the name change? The only reason I could think of was that they are going to be taking on new clients and didn’t want to be RAIN specific.
