Rain revealed on September 23 through his official website, "I will join the army on October 11. I have no idea where I will be placed later, but I have confirmed the date to join the army today. It has already been ten years since I debuted. I was able to do many things for the past ten years thanks to your support and love and I have been very happy while having those glorious moments thanks to you. I feel sorry and embarrassed that I am joining the army too late, but I will put forth my utmost effort while fulfilling my military obligation in the army".

Rain held a concert in Seoul entitled "The Best Show", which was part of his national concert tour, at Olympic Stadium from September 24 to 25. In addition, he will also hold his last free street concert in front of the Apgujeong CGV on October 9 before he joins the army, and the concert will be hosted by Gangnam District Office, for which he has been worked as an honorary ambassador, and sponsored by CJ E&M.
