 AsiaFinest
1 - on - 1 interview with Rain in New York
 November
13th, 2009.
AsiaFinest was able to get an exclusive one on one interview with Korean
superstar Rain.
The interview took place at The London hotel in New York City. In our
interview, Rain spoke about his role in the movie Ninja
Assassin. He also spoke about his ideal woman, and that he needs a
girlfriend soon. Be sure to check out the pictures,
video, and transcript of our interview with
the international idol, Rain!
Dressed in a wooly sweater and casual jeans on a chilly day in NYC, Rain
asked, “Korean?”
“No, Chinese,” I giddily replied.
While his eyes were distracted by his entourage of six in the congested
room at The London, he said, “Oh, I love China.”
“Yes – Hong Kong.”
“I’ll be in Hong Kong soon, “ Rain said with a charming
smirk and noticeably shorter haircut.
Despite a long day of talking to an extensive list of media outlets, Rain
managed to focus on some small talk prior to the actual interview. While
slouching in his red chair with his arms crossed, he did seem a bit too-cool-for-school.
Although he looked more like the hot neighbor next door than a lethal
killing machine in the Ninja Assassin, his presence naturally commanded
attention. With this aura about him, it’s no surprise that at the
tender age of 27 – he is a pop singer, dancer, model, actor, CEO
and designer. Rainism is in full effect indeed.

AsiaFinest: Thank you for taking the time to talk to Asiafinest.com.
We totally appreciate it. Now Ninja
Assassin we saw yesterday and it was action packed. Very good.
Rain: Yea, it’s so different,
you know. Different type of movie. You know – it’s going to
be beyond your imagination.
AsiaFinest: Did you know martial arts before that?
Rain: You know – I learned Tae
Kown Doe from when I was young. So when I was ten, so.. yeah.
AsiaFinest: Did you get hurt?
Rain: [pauses] Yes, I have lots of
cuts.
AsiaFinest: Oh no…
Rain: Just a little bit. Even though
everybody took care of me. I still got hurt. So, one day I pretend I broke
my leg. So I said, “Oh, oh.. I can’t feel my legs.” People
said, “Hey, are you okay?” “I’m just kidding…”
It was fun.
AsiaFinest: When they first approached you to play the leading
role, how did you feel?
Rain: I’m so excited. I’m
going to be a superstar. Yeah – Ninja
Assassin is very important to me.
AsiaFinest: The Wachowski brothers said, “This guy in unbelievable.
He’e a natural. He’s our dream come true.” How does it
feel when you have someone so established in the industry say that about
you?
Rain: Umm… I couldn’t have
done it without the crew. Yeah – it was a good experience. I was
so excited, so happy.
AsiaFinest: Well, I’m glad you are. Now despite the scars,
I could not help but notice a lot of the girls in the theater saying,
“Wow,” when they see your body. How do you react when you see
girls go crazy over your body?
Rain: Yeah – my character is,
you know, my character’s name is Raizo. He’s very sexy. And,
before this movie, you know, I had to make my body fit like Bruce Lee.
I trained for 8 months, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. And I only ate chicken
breast and vegetables. You know, it was hard. Second of all, I learned
a lot of martial arts – tae kwon doe, kickboxing, tai chi, karate.
I love it.
AsiaFinest: Now in Full House, Sang Doo! Let’s Go to School,
A Love to Kill – none of the characters were like Raizo, so how does
it feel to play somebody that’s totally different?
Rain: Totally, totally different,
You know… [pause]. Yeah, I love my character.
AsiaFinest: Now when the film is out in theaters, I’m pretty
confident that you’ll be winning a lot of hearts of the girls in
America. I know that one of the questions that’s going to come up
is – are you single?
Rain: Yeah – I need a girlfriend.
[laughs] So… very soon!
AsiaFinest: What do you look for in a girl?
Rain: [pause] I need a sexy girl.
[laughs] I’m just kidding… I love all kinds of girls.
AsiaFinest: You have a lot of fans on Asiafinest.com, is there
a message that you want to give to them?
Rain: Okay. Hello everybody. Please
watch Ninja
Assassin. It’s a kick ass movie. You’re going to like it.
Thank you.
