Editor's note

Rain, the K-pop star who danced through a decade

A singer and actor who became one of South Korea's first global pop exports.

For the full Rain experience, put on 'Bad guy' and then 'Laughter In The Rain'. They bookend the energy and the smoother side of his catalog.

Rain's early 2000s hits like 'Bad guy' helped define a generation of K-pop before the genre's current global wave. He starred in films like 'Ninja Assassin' and built a multimedia presence that showed how Korean entertainers could cross borders. The song 'I' captures that ambitious, polished sound that made him stand out.

He debuted in 2002 and quickly became known for intense dance performances and R&B-influenced tracks. Later work included acting roles and more mature songs like 'My Way' and 'Can't Get Used To It'.
