MTV introduces Rain to US

The foreign media have recently introduced singer Rain, who is scheduled to perform at the New York Medison Square Garden Theater Feb. 2-3 in the United States.

Rain recently gave phone interviews to The New York Times and The New York Post. The two newspapers asked the singer about his childhood, family, his collaboration with producer J.Y. Park and his influence on Rain's career, the singer's future plans, his roles in TV dramas, and his secret to gaining popularity throughout Asia.

Prior to his concert, Rain and Park will give a two-hour interview on Feb. 3 at MTV's Total Request Live studio located in Manhattan, New York. The interview will be held in a transluscent glass studio so that the singer's fans can watch it as it records.

Held at MTV's request, the interview, entitled "Rain Special", will be broadcast throughout the entire American region via MTV News, the Chinese-language broadcaster MTV CHI and MTV K. MTV International will later air the interview worldwide.

Rain's agency, JYP Entertainment, reported Jan. 24 that top American stars will appear as guests at Rain's New York concert. The agency also added that tickets to the concert have already been sold out amid attention from globally renowned record firms, advertisement agencies and the mass media.

Rain is currently promoting his first single "Sad Tango", and will leave for the United States Jan. 31.
