Snippets of Rain news that you may not have heard. Enjoy!
10/5/2025. Rain endorses The Whoo, considered to be one of the (if not the) most luxurious skincare/cosmetics brand in Korea. Not surprising, seeing as his skin is to die for. 🙂 In addition to the official Korean site, there are also sites for the U.S. and Hong Kong. ^@@^
Please see below, re-posted from R.A.I.N. Company’s Instagram today. You’re next, Taipei! ^@@^

Rain flew to Australia in September 2024 for a performance and some Season B Season filming that showed him enjoying some quality time at the famous Bondi Beach. Nice! ^@@^

As many of you have probably heard, and some of you have not, Rain is coming back to the States with his Still Raining Tour encore shows (the Still Raining Tour itself began here in the U.S. back in November 2023 and went on to Asia). The 3rd venue is the Coca-Cola Roxy at the Battery Atlanta, Georgia, and seeing as many fans foreign and domestic have never been there before, I thought a primer of the place might help concert-goers have an easier time orienting themselves when they do.
So, here goes! (Ticketing links for all 3 encore shows are in the article linked above.)
The Battery Atlanta is a mixed use development where people live, shop, eat, and play. It contains hotels, apartments, restaurants, watering holes, parking decks, walking plazas and stores of all kinds. Plus it is snuggled right up against Truist Park stadium, the official home of our Major League Baseball team the Atlanta Braves.
** PRIMER 1: The first thing of note is that the main street that runs through the whole place is called Battery Avenue. All other streets connect with Battery Avenue, and the Coca-Cola Roxy is located on that street. ^@@^

The Lianhe Zaobao [联合早报] (full name Nanyang Sin-Chew Lianhe Zaobao) is the largest Singaporean-Chinese language newspaper and has been in circulation since 1983. They got a hold of Rain recently and he spilled the beans about how success is never guaranteed, that his world stardom came down to luck and great supporters around him, life’s highs and lows, living your days to the fullest, social media cracking the language barrier, where he gets his energy, and more.
You can see the FULL subtitled interview video and the accompanying article on the Lianhe Zaobao website HERE. Head on over and give him some love! Show them how important he is to us.

Remember the first time Rain took us along with him in spirit to the Marina Bay Sands resort, way back when? And several times thereafter? We’re sure this New Year’s Eve appearance on December 31 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention will be as spectacular as his other ones there!
The Singland Festival will host 4 superstars in 4 shows in 3 days, with Rain starting things off on the 31st. They posted this about him on their Instagram:
Grateful hearts and timeless charm 🌧️ Rain’s energy at the press meeting reminded us why his music connects across generations, humble, powerful, and full of heart. He carries his presence with quiet confidence and kindness that is ready to erupt the stage once again in Singapore. So don’t miss the chance to experience it live at Singland Festival, 31 Dec 2025 at Marina Bay Sands!
🎟️ Get your tickets now at http://www.sistic.com.sg/explore/2/138126
Check out these interview clips and behind the scenes footage with ELLE Singapore magazine, the Singland Festival Instagram, and AugustMan magazine, where Rain talks about projects, music, and such.

The JAMOFF 2025 festival took place this year at Universal Studios Singapore on the island of Sentosa. The crowds absolutely did get their “jam-off” that final weekend of September with Rain and his fellow artists, on both nights because of course he was in his element. Good times! ^@@^

The Manna Bazaar [ 만나바자회 ] is an annual charity event that has donated the treatment costs for children with rare diseases since 2020. Twelve artists will be at this year’s event on October 18 at Mauritia Cafe in Seoul, including Rain. This will be Rain’s second year of participation with non-profit organization Manna, no surprise seeing as helping children in need has always been near and dear to his heart.

Looks like on the day for photos for this year’s event, someone had a bit of an appetite, yes? 🙂 ^@@^

Los Angeles, New York, and ATLANTA get ready!!
For those of you who haven’t heard yet, Rain’s Still Raining Concert Tour is starting to come to a close after 2 wonderful years. And, as he did promise to come back to the States after starting the tour in 3 cities here back in 2023, he’s doing just that. Considering the fact that he’s never been able to come to Atlanta for a concert (the stop scheduled during the Rain’s Coming World Tour at Phillips Arena in 2007 was postponed due to a tribute band bringing a lawsuit to stop him from using his name, and then canceled because he had to film Ninja Assassin), this is amazing.
Los Angeles and New York know him well, but for 18 years we in Atlanta have been waiting!

June 2024. Talk/game show. Even though this clip of TVN show Amazing Saturday was just uploaded, because of the Christmas theme it seems to have actually been recorded back around the 2023 holidays. Or the 2022 holidays or before, but after Rain got married. Apparently, one of the things he had to do was correctly identify wife Kim Tae Hee’s movies, LOL. Kim Bum and Key were also on the show! ^@@^
December 2022. Interview. Rain being interviewed in China by HK E News Star Talk during his Ghost Doctor days. Don’t forget to turn on your English captions! ^@@^
March 2021. Behind the scenes. Rain, Chungha, and the making of the “Why Don’t We” MV. ^@@^

Not all of Rain’s movies, TV dramas, and projects are available to stream online, unfortunately. But a good many are and here are the 19 that we’ve found. PLEASE support him by watching his entertainment on these streaming platforms where he gets credited for every view.
He’s worked terribly hard for 22 years to have a nice portfolio like this. Thanks, everyone! Read on and have fun watching. ^@@^

This past weekend, Rain had a blast at this year’s WATERBOMB HONG KONG.
And guess what? He announced he’ll be coming back to Hong Kong for a Still Raining concert in July. So stay tuned! ^@@^

Rain made a guest appearance on the long-running 2 O’clock Escape Cultwo Show on SBS Power FM Radio. We’ve always enjoyed his stints on Cultwo, and he always seems to have great fun there.
According to various news articles in Korea and Japan, concerning the questions he was asked… Rain talked about the secret to his physique — that he exercises every day, even when he doesn’t want to, because once he gets started it’s not too hard to finish. By the time he gets done, he feels refreshed and glad he did it. One listener asked Rain, “When are you going to get old?” and Rain confessed, “I’m already old. I performed at the Yonsei University festival two days ago and I sang about six songs by myself. It also rained, so my joints hurt.”
Also, he talked about attending Kids’ Sports Day — because of his older daughter — and participating in the Dads’ Team Baton Race. One of the dads on his team fell — he won’t say who LOL — and they lost. But his team did win the Tug-of-War, YAY! Rain: “Sports Day needs to change. Is it a sports day for children, or is it a sports day that encourages competition among adults?” LOL! Before becoming a father, he used to think a lot about attending children’s school events and special functions in his future. Aw 🙂 Listeners requested that he tell them more about his daughter’s sports day on stage at his upcoming Still Raining Tour concerts in Seoul on 6/8 and 6/9.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: As we understand it, a little birdie says that Rain’s new TV drama Red Swan will premiere on Disney Plus on July 3! YESSS!!
We can’t wait!

My previous post of Rain at AKARAKA 2024 was chock full of stuff… but when you run into gorgeous 4K fan cams and a really nice performance video from Yonsei University Alumni themselves (AND the fan boy who will never wash his hand again!), you MUST share regardless! Besides, you never know when some YouTube vids will be taken down but if you have plenty shared, you don’t have to worry about that anyway.
Wonderful stuff. Please enjoy!

Yonsei University’s AKARAKA 2024 [아카라카2024] Festival was a K-Popping 2-day affair on 5/25 and 5/26 this year.
That Yonsei U. varsity jacket is FIRE. The wonderful way the audience responded to Rain and sang all of his songs had me laughing, grinning, and singing along. The blowing rain and wet stage had me nervous as heck, especially after his foot almost slid away from him at the beginning of “Gang”… and later when his shoelace came undone, I just put it all in the Lord’s Hands. Whew! THOSE SHOULDERS. They chanted his name and demanded an encore, aw! The comments under the video are AH-MAZING. Someone even called him a “beautiful sin.”
He had such a good time. LOVE it. Way to go, king.
Please enjoy!

I’m catching up with Rain, from back when I missed a lot of his performances because I was ill and in treatment. So, without further ado… Our game-changer in South Korea at the Rainbow Music & Camping Festival 2022!
Not sure what city it was held in, but the company HQ is located in Seoul. ^@@^

Our waiting was not in vain!
Rain’s working vacation in Milan, Italy is front and center of the latest episode of his popular YouTube channel Season B Season (S. 4, epi 30). The only remaining question now is… with hyung Ro HongChul involved, will it also be a part of a new season of The Hungry and The Hairy, on Netflix? Surely it will be. It has to be! It’s exactly like a Hungry and Hairy episode as it is!
This episode is AH-MAZING. Rain and HongChul’s Instagams leading up to it were spectacular themselves, but my goodness… this is like being there and having ALL of our questions of the past few weeks answered. You’re either dumbstruck by the art, architecture, and scenery, salivating at their food, or snort-laughing at their clown-ly antics, LOL.
I had NO idea that HongChul is so deeply into art, so Hong Chul Wonderland took me quite by surprise.
Rain was in Italy for a good minute, for business and a bit of play, so it’s no surprise the next episode will be devoted to the trip as well.
Please enjoy, y’all! (Don’t forget to turn on your English captions.)

Rain and other beloved Korean faces were at this year’s Hermès In The Making exhibition in Seoul, getting a sneak peek at how Hermès craftsmen make their magic and bring such perfectly crafted and beautiful products to the public.
The exhibition will be at Lotte World Tower Outdoor Lawn from 5/18 to 5/27. 👜💄👔 ^@@^

When this performance and others came about, I was in chemotherapy and going into major surgery… thus, no Cloud USA post! I’m now going back and taking note of all the Rain performances and/or projects I missed during that time. I’m catching up with Rain. 🙂
Betadia Nights 2022 (sponsored by Betadia Malaysia) took place on Saturday, 8/27/2022 at the Axiata Arena in KL, Malaysia. Rain was one of three artists taking the stage. The festival also included food trucks, games, light art, and goody bags. Wow, sounds like a good time was had by all.
Listen to how the audience responded to him. Double wow!! Please enjoy!

As we understand it…
The RAINTOPIA: FIND ME fan meetings will take place in Tokyo, Japan at the ZEPP Haneda venue on 6/28 (2 fan meets, one at 3PM and the other at 7PM) and in Osaka, Japan at the ZEPP Osaka Bayside venue on 6/30 (2 fan meets, one at 2 PM, the second one at 6PM).
Rain had previous ZEPP concert tours in 2011 and 2013 that were pretty awesome. For those not familiar with these venues, there can either be seats OR simply standing room only, depending on the event you’re going to. That fact hasn’t deterred anyone — they’ve always been completely filled up to the brim when it came to Rain! 
TICKET SALES: https://eplus.jp/rain UNTIL 5/19. (We don’t know why that is…?)
This is the first fan meeting in Japan after 5 years. VERY happy for all the Japanese Clouds and fans across the world who get to attend!

I tell you what, folks — you can see watching this performance that Rain was relaxed, casual, and just having hella-fun, and we love that. The audience was having hella-fun too, jumping, bouncing, and singing along with him. Seeing them so appreciative of Rain warmed our hearts. ❤️
When he fumbled and dropped his glasses and had to laugh at himself, we cracked up.
These fan cams are so crisp and beautiful. Please enjoy, everyone!

I missed posting about this performance because I was right in the middle of chemotherapy! I missed a good year and a half of stuff because of cancer treatments, in fact, so you know I am doggone happy to finally be going back and catching up with it all, appearance by appearance.

May 11. From Rain’s Instagram this morning our time (EST), this evening Korea time (KST)… Look at him, wielding that knife like a pro!🔥 There’s gonna be some GOOD eatin’ in the Rain House. (A little birdie says it’s tuna) 😋 ^@@^ (Images credit: rain_oppa @ IG)
May 9. Rain and Retro 2000s-style influencer Buletari wanted everyone to know that Season B Season S.4 Episode 29 is now streaming on YouTube. A pretty cool way to get their point across, with a little “Rainism”, ha! ^@@^

When I ran across this performance, I wondered why I hadn’t known or posted about it. A look at the date told me why right away. I had just finished chemotherapy, was recovering from a mastectomy, and about to go into radiation. I was all about cancer treatments at the time.
The KCON 2022 Festival was held in Boulevard City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the very first KCON in that country. The show lasted over two nights (9/30 and 10/1), with Rain joining the artists appearing on Night 1. Clips of all the artists’ performances are on the KCON official YouTube channel.
I’m so glad this came up randomly on our YouTube homepage. This has to go on the list of one of Rain’s BEST performances to date. He truly killed it.
Please enjoy!

Whenever you see Rain, his sense of humor is never far behind. 🤣🤣
His way of counting down the days to the start of ticket sales to the general public for his upcoming Still Raining concert tour stops in Seoul (Saturday, June 8 at 6 PM and Sunday, June 9 at 5 PM, at Olympic Stadium’s Olympic Hall) was pretty unique, ha ha. From April 25 at 8 PM KST on, sales are on like gangbusters at Interpark‘s online Korean and International links.
GLOBAL https://bit.ly/3JqoPRV
If his Still Raining concert stops here in Atlantic City and Las Vegas last November are any indication (and they ARE, trust), the shows on his home turf are going to blow the roof off the place.
All y’all who are going, have a fabulous time!

It’s that time again, to mark another debut anniversary of our game-changer Rain, and we’ve had great fun for a week doing just that. He gets brand new fans every single day and they want to learn all they can about him… We’re all about helping them along in their searches by putting as much of his history together as we can, not to mention giving his longtime diehards (including ourselves) a lot of nostalgic fun. ❤️
For Rain’s 22nd Debut Anniversary, we’ve compiled his albums, TV series and streaming projects, movies, and concerts. ⬇️ I have even more ideas for compilations to come, as in a 2 decades-plus career there is NO END to all the things Rain has done, so please do stay tuned!
On behalf of co-founder Terri and our Cloud USA community and friends, Happy Debut Anniversary, Rain. You continue to amaze us with your longevity and creativity, king!
