In the MBC special, “Rain Returns,” Rain opened up and talked about his childhood and living in poverty.
The “world star” revealed that his family was so poor that they could not afford to buy food. And as a result, Rain and his family starved for a week. And it was during this difficult time that the singer almost ate a cockroach egg that was floating in the water that he boiled a few days earlier.
The poverty was a result of his father going bankrupt. And to make matters worse, his mother was also gravely ill.
It was under these desperate conditions that Rain learned how to dance. For him, this was the only way he knew so that he would never go hungry again.
And through his hard work, the singer hit the big time 2 years after his debut and 3 years since his mother passed away.
With a story like that, Rain should sell the rights to the movie.
And for us, no more chicken breasts and vegetables.
Well… he has everything now… and he should continue to work hard…
NO MORE CHICKEN BREASTS!!! (AND VEGETABLES)
#28, Rain gives SO much to charities. Please do some research before you make a statement like that. He even gives of his time, like cleaning oil off of rocks in the freezing cold.
no more chicken breasts and vegetables! hahaha.
No brainer, Popseoul. He once said he drank dirty water with cockroach eggs during his dirt poor, stark raving hungry days.
rainnn…
I LOVE RAIN!!!!!….you non Rain fans really should do your homework before leaving all those stupid comments. If you don’t like him maybe you shouldn’t read his posts on here. Haters like you are very pathetic and pointless because you are obviously secretly infatuated or intimidated by the guy and all of his success.
Well rather you like him or not…he’s not going anywhere. So kiss his cash!!!
Wow, it was really hard for him when he was younger…….but now he is working hard…….and should be very proud of himself………
okay this is bizarre, I totally had this freaky nightmare a couple of nights ago about cockroaches crawling out of (chicken) eggs. what the hell
That’s a sad childhood but what really caught my attention and freaked me out what the roach egg crap. Ewwwww. xF
Lol.. how’s a Sad life story = asking for attention? Now that’s a pathetic assumption.
To Sharurotto,
Please do some research before making such statement .
Why do people have any reason to doubt his rags-to-riches story? Being aware of the prejudice against the poor in Korea, I don’t see any reason for him to lie about his impoverished childhood.
But didn’t I read somewhere that when his own label J.Tune entertainment was named the rainy ent. it was his father who started the label by changing the name of his already existing company or the like?
so the point is: It could be that he wasn’t so poor. And I doubt that his family was so poor without being at fault.
@ samlun100

……asswipe
cockroaches?,,,,,why don’t you try wasp??? it’s delicious too.
sad stories make me feels sad….
i never knew rain went trough that much sadness.
What hard times he had to face and endure while a struggling artist. Isn’t that inspiration enough? I have deep admiration and respect for people like Rain. Although he has achieved fortune and fame he relentlessly pursued to be the best in his chosen career. Keep up the good work Rain. You are a model for struggling artists. And what is more admirable is how you never forget where you came from; you do not forget to always thank your mother in all your achievements in life who seem to be your source of inspiration in everything that you do. Looking forward to more projects in the future.
