According to foreign media outlets on the 23rd, Rain singled outa female fan during one of his shows in 'Still Raining: Encore' tour held at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan on the 17th.

At the time, Rain was hyping up the audience by singing and encouraging them to dance to build excitement. He then noticed the fan filming with her phone instead of dancing and asked, "Why aren't you dancing?"

The interpreted translated his question into Chinese and the fan responded with a smile after gesturing toward her ear. However, Rain asked her to show a more passionate reaction before continuing the performance. 

Two days later, the fan tagged Rain in a video of the moment posted on social media and explained what had happened.

The fan wrote in Chinese, "It's not that I wasn't dancing. I didn't understand what Rain and the interpreter was saying. I have a hearing impairment, so I need to read lips or have real-time captions."

She continued, "Rain stomped his foot in frustration and asked me to try again. Looking back, I realized I should've explained in sign language. I was worried I might be misunderstood as a fan who wasn't cooperating."

Upon seeing this, Rain immediately left an apology comment in Chinese. He wrote, "First of all, I'm truly sorry for not realizing that you couldn't hear. I was very inconsiderate and didn't think things through."

Rain also sent birthday wishes to the fan, who had mentioned that it was her birthday on the 19th. He added, "Although there was a small incident, it became a beautiful memory for both of us. I will be more careful in every aspect when performing in the future."

Rain♥Kim Tae-hee ... "Looks are Important, I Have Both My Ideal Type and 100 Million"

The first question was, 'On Christmas day, a perfect date with your ideal type, or a 100 million won event. Where would you go?' Kwon Eun-bi chose a 'date with the ideal type.' Rain responded, "Sorry, but I've got both," and KCM replied with a laugh, saying, "Unlucky."

Continuing to ask about the ideal type, Kwon Eun-bi stated, "I like someone who has a soft and gentle appearance like tofu. In reality, I prefer someone whose personality matches mine, and it's enjoyable to be with. It's important to have someone who understands me rather than just a good-looking face. Looks don't last forever," she revealed.

To this, Rain commented, "Looks last long. (Appearance) is important," making everyone burst into laughter. Kwon Eun-bi jokingly responded, "He's the most enviable person. Must be nice. How does it feel?"

-Pay more taxes and do more good deeds, Rain

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even if she doesn't wash for a week, Kim Tae-hee would still be Kim Tae-hee... so jealous.

-Is he good at fighting?

-If I married Kim Tae-hee, I'd probably tattoo "Kim Tae-hee's husband" on my forehead.

-How happy would you be to see Kim Tae-hee's face every morning... so jealous!

-That's right, he has every rights to say thatㅎㅎ

-This is not just boasting; it's a fact that can't be refuted... 

-How did they get married, seriously ㅡㅡ.

-Take good care of Tae-hee unnie.

'Shirtless and lay down on the floor' filming in The Blue House ... An endless controversy

 

Previously on June 2nd, Rain announced on his SNS account that he will be the first singer to hold a solo performance at The Blue House on June 17. This picture was released before the Cultural Heritage Administration established The Blue House Visit Regulations.

Singer Rain filmed his Netflix show, Take 1, in The Blue House shortly after it opened for the public. Amid criticism saying that Rain received special treatment, the Cultural Heritage Administration revealed that, "We have taken faithful measure to the principles".

Lee Byung-hoon of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee, revealed on his SNS account on the 21st, "The filming of singer Rain's Netflix show, The One, is violating The Blue House Visit Regulations and wasn't allowed. However, the Cultural Heritage Administration has applied a supplementary clause to prevent Rain from being subject to the regulations". He added, "It seems that the Cultural Heritage Administration has allowed Netflix to film the show because The Blue House has been opened since President Yoon was elected. This performance has harmed the historicity and symbolism of The Blue House"

> Are there any special treatments that Rain is getting?

Before The Blue House suddenly opened for the public on May 10th, the Cultural Heritage Administration created 'The Blue House Visiting Regulations' that state filming in The Blue House for commercial activities is prohibited. This is why IHQ Online Video Service (OTT) Platform Babayo was criticized for installing a sofa in front of The Blue House and filmed variety web shows while working with certain brands. 

This new regulation was established on June 7th and implemented on June 12nd. According to Lee Byung-hoon, filming Netflix shows is not allowed because it's for commercial use. However, there was an exception saying that the regulation only applies to applications submitted after June 20th. A supplementary clause was applied to Rain's case because his performance was originally scheduled on June 17th. 

Netflix's production team is under fire for exploring The Blue House in advance and promoting it as if the performance was already confirmed in May, way before the approval for the filming was done. Fuel was added to the fire as Netflix introduces more details about the show, Take One, starring singer Rain, on the 14th. Rain announced on his SNS account on June 2nd, that he will be the first singer to perform in The Blue House on upcoming June 17.

-Does he really think that makes him look cool...? Wake up, Rainㅎㅎㅎ

-This is embarrassing. Why is he acting like that?

-Did he really have to film and perform in The Blue House like that? It's not cool at all...

-It doesn't even make him look cool. Why did he have to perform in The Blue House?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Who told him he can do that in The Blue House? What the f*ck?

-I felt bad for him for getting a lot of hate comments, I used to leave him supportive comments in the articles and now I f*cking regret doing that...

-When did The Blue House become that kind of place...? I mean, forget about that... It doesn't suit him at all. Who gave him the idea to perform in The Blue House in the first place?

-I lost all my respect for him. He's a lunatic.

-Frankly speaking, that doesn't make him look cool. It does make him look cheap and low, though. 

-He is just... Thoughtless. That's all. 

-I already disliked him and now he's doing things that make me dislike him even more...

-I've never liked this guy anyway...

-Whoa... I'm literally at loss for words...

-He should've thought twice before doing that. Does he really have no idea how many people hate him already?
