Rain (or 비, pronounced Bi, the Korean word for rain) is probably the most famous Korean pop artist in America due to his longstanding "feud" with Stephen Colbert (summarized here for the unfamiliar). If it were possible to make one person from three others, he would be the lovechild of Michael Jackson, Usher, and Justin Timberlake. Rain is old news to the Korean pop scene at this point as he has been around for about 7 years, significantly longer than most of today's popular artists. Rain has transcended the world of pop to also become a singer/actor/model/clothing designer/Global Goodwill Ambassador for South Korea. Apparently in his newly appointed ambassador position his main task is to popularize Korean-style food around the world (really!).Check out Rain's music video for "Rainism." You may notice his flair for the dramatic.
"Rainnnn!!!!!"
