first i just wanna share this to everybody...
Quote 1: Endless diligence, Endless patience, Endless modesty
Quote 2: Those right-handed must practice more if they want to use their left hand to feed themselves. Without sweats and blood in practices, they will unconsciously use their right hands. Only with tough trainings they will use their left hands naturally.
Quote 3: Every morning I look at myself in the mirror, I swear that the same expression must be shown in my eyes in the next morning... And hence, I examine myself in the mirror everyday...
Quote 4: There are many singers who can do better than me. "I must surpass Rain!" Many newbies now have this thought...However, when they sleep 10 hours, I sleep 5... and practicing harder... I hope when Korean go overseas and talking about "Bi", they feel proud, too...I want to be the best singer, regardless when and where...I wish I can hear comments like this: If China has Bruce Lee, then Korea has "Rain (Bi)".
Quote 5: If you are looked down by others, you'll make up your mind and that firm decision will push you to work harder! From then on you become a terrible person. I'm scared, I'm scared that I will lose to myself. I'm afraid that I will stop... I hesitate if I should sleep or practice and finally, I choose sleeping... All these terrify me...You can only gain something after you experience the pain.
Quote 6: Sometimes I can't really feel that I'm living. Life is so busy until I will question myself: Why I have to live like this? But I just can't give up when chances are there... I've made up my mind: I will focus on my career since I'm young. Although it sounds tough, endless practice is still the most desired whenever I have time...
Quote 7: To be frank, after meeting with Mr Armani, I think "I'm still young!" He's more than 70 but I'm only 24. I don't mean he is too old, in fact I wanna say I have another 50 years compared to him... No matter how, I still have the chances - The chances to surpass Mr Armani.
Quote 8: I hope others can recognize my talents, and not just simply be fond of me. Who knows to what extend I can develop and what kind of image I can show up in the future? The difficulties behind mainly come from myself and not from others.
Quote 9: "If you stay too comfortable, you may fall down" In my high school, I was told about this. I write down and paste it on the ceiling so that I can read it when I lay down. Keep reminding myself cannot be too relaxed..
Quote 10: After dancing and singing 2-3 songs, I felt the sharp pain, something in my body seems to emerge...By then, I will think of the grandma who sold me the cassette and I'll defeat the great pain..
Quote 11: When I was still a newbie, people around responded "Who is this kid?". Every time I walked up to the stage, I was eager to attract more fans... "I don't care they have other business in their mind, I must make him/her become my fans" .Among thousands of audience, there must be someone staring at me. Hoping so, I can dance more freely and happily in front of them.
Quote 12: I think over and over again during my overseas activities, and I feel that I must improve my English soonest possible. I'm thinking in English these days, if my English is okay then I face less hurdles when developing in foreign markets...
Quote 13: Even if I only have 1 minute or 1 second in my life, I'll do my best, too! I'm curious how far can I go on with my capability. By then, when I recall my past upon death, I will say my life is a great achievement, regardless of how many success and failure I faced. Why I say so? It's because I've been working hard for it! Either new challenges or things that can be done with efforts, I dare to try it, including the things I'm not confident with.
Quote 14: 3 min 14 sec. In this period of time, a singer is mannequin if he/she sings and dances, singers are also actors. A smile, a change in expression, it's a way to communicate with audience. During my 2nd album, I seldom danced but I shake hands with the audience, the response was good. Singers need 100% acting skills when they are performing on the stage, there are expressions in the dance steps as well! I would like to make my fans be mine forever....40 years later when it's raining, they will say "Ah, there was a singer called Rain..."
Quote 15: Day after day, I become more and more greedy, until I stand at here right now. It's embarrassing frankly. I mean, people speak good things and give wonderful titles... To make myself worth for those stuffs, there's still a long way to go...Probably everyone can see a more mature Rain next year.
Quote 16: I put in 100% efforts for everything I do, so I can stand up confidently and never be ashamed. I want to be a hardworking RAIN, no matter how. If there's a list for all singers in the world, I hope it writes "A hardworking singer – Rain". In my opinion, the mindset is always more important than the period of time spent. To me: Working is joyful, hardships are precious experiences. I don't have inborn talents, thus I must practice harder, when the rest are sleeping I'll still working...That's how I am able to dance so well. I always have internal battles with myself, so let me be the winner again! --- from Rain's third album.
Quote 17: "If I work seriously everyday, what would I be after 10 years?" Because of this idea, I increase my training sessions everyday. In other words, I practice non-stop. --- Dec 2006, MBC News Desk
Quote 18: He doesn't look like new actor at all, he is really a professional actor! During filming, his great passion made we wonder: From where he gains so much energy? Sometimes he played like a naughty child,but within 10 seconds, tears shimming in his eyes, immediately he could interpret the complicated emotions...--- comments from Director Park Chan-wook. He is young but he is firm and honest. As an actor, he has many things for us to learn, he is a good partner and a charismatic friend. Jihun is very hardworking, it looks quite horrible sometimes but I would like to learn this from him. I was surprised when I discovered his unique charisma, it can't be found in other male actors. Speaking truly, enthusiastic Rain is the most attractive. --- comments from actress Im Soo-jung.
Quote 19: Jeong Jihun touched his audience by his truly emotions, not the acting skills. Ignoring his singer identity, I think I discover a wonderful actor. As an actor, he is a shining diamond who often touches people's hearts. Jihun never says "NO". Whenever I asked him "Can you do it?" He just said "Yes" (From the viewpoint of script writer) Hence it creates the trust between us and I can write the scripts without any limitation. In , the mixing emotions of love and hate were difficult to express. However, he never complained... He read the script and digested the role himself quietly... He's someone you can never find his weakness. --- Author/ Script writer Lee Kyung-hee
Quote 20: If someone doesn't appreciate Jihun's spirit, well then I doubt his/her personal values. Jihun worked diligently and crazily, everyday I was inspired and encouraged. It is true that Rain has no time to rest, lingering between 'filming and studying scripts'...There was spare time occasionally and I thought he will take a nap. But from my observation, he kept studying the scripts...--- TALENT (TV drama actor, Kim Sung-su) There are some young actors recently, they played the main roles in their first drama and won awards! Yet only 2 out of 10 can insist until the end.As an actor, Rain has the high chance to continue his career until the end. Most importantly, he knows how to respect the seniors and very polite.--- TALENT Jin Zhiying (pinyin) Although we are same age, he looks more mature. Being singer and actor, from him I have many things to learn. --- TALENT Song Hyekyo
Quote 21: During the filming, I never saw him yawn, he paid strong attention. There's no shortcut to achieve success. Whenever I see Jihun, I'll question back myself. He has ultimate concentration and extraordinary diligence, he must be a good actor.--- Actress Shin Min-ah Jihun is the TOP star but he's always humble, many changed themselves after being famous but not Jihun. --- Actor Lee Ki-woo It's tough to do action scenes without replacement, yet I can see Jihun is doing it seriously. I felt regreted when he was hurt, he is a very good friend and always gives the best. --- Director Kim Kyu-tae
Quote 22: If you want to be respected, you should take the initiative to greet your juniors and seniors. Regardless of talents and strength, others won't recognize you if you are not polite.
Quote 23: Never lose hope when you look upward at something you admire.Never be arrogant when you look downward. No matter that it's a game or a training, you must put in all efforts. I wish I can be an artist, instead of just an entertainer. --- Rain's advice to the participants in Superstar Survivial Something that can refrain one to be self-satisfied.I'm often worried that myself becomes arrogant. How good it is if the presents are attached with the equipment to refrain one to be self-satisfied and proud. --- Rain's answer about the most expected present.
Quote 24: Rain is the future. Rain has the terrible capability to stride across Eastern and Western. --- American TV Station, ABC PD
Quote 25: A passionate actor! Other than my singer identity....To be a real actor, I would like to hear such vital compliment, too!
Quote 26: Before World Tour: Recalling the time when I was still a dancer, I would climb up to South Hill* whenever I felt downcast....Looking down to the shining lights and thus I made up my mind: All of them must know my name one day. USA is in my mind, and the image of shining lights at foothill comes lively again. It's going to begin...
Quote 27: With the changes in their identity, some people developed different characters and mindset, or even the friends and people around him/her are replaced by others totally. 9 years ago, I met a tall young man, he was so eager to learn dancing. I would never expect our relationship can continue for 10 years, nobody ever knew that this young man will become the best in Korea... 10 years... Sometimes we argued when we were together. I follow my way and he follows his, with our laughs and tears, the time quietly passed by. He's one of my best friends, The one who is known as "Rain" now... Although he is younger, I feel he is my senior or my friend occasionally, we stay together as friends and not much changes in ourselves, and I really appreciate that. No matter how famous he is, if he changed, I may not be with him anymore. Can't predict how it's gonna be in the next day. We still rely and stay with each other, and looking forward to the stronger bond between us in the future -- message from Bagga (?) from Koyote at his personal MINI homepage. “ Eager to be the best actor when filming the drama, Eager to be the best singer when holding the mic. When I'm tired of acting, I go for song practices and vice versa.”
Quote 28: Nominated as "The Most Influential TV30 People to change Korea media". A representative singer of Korea Any styles of his performances and images shown in TV, his name will definitely spike up the media production team. -- from Time magazine
Quote 29: I make a promise before every performance....Upon stepping on the stage I will have this in mind: Just look at me! I'm the best!
