(The return of the world star)
(Rain debuts in Hollywood)
(Rain won the best action star award in the MTV Movie Awards)
The shoot is starting.
- Let's do this. - Yes.
- You have to stay sharp today. - Why?
We're getting a world-class star on our show.
Hello, everyone.
Weekly Idol!
We managed to keep our show going
just to get this man on our show.
I never thought I'd get to meet him here.
But he happily agreed to be on our show.
He wants to be tested in Korea as a real idol.
He's already a world-renowned star...
He doesn't need to be tested.
A world star is on Weekly Idol today.
- He's a Hollywood star. - It's crazy.
We have guests to welcome him.
Hi. Kate Winslet. Hi.
Hi, Brad.
(So shameless, so embarrassed)
Hi, Bruce Willis. Come on.
Thank you.
So many famous people are on our show today.
Why do you keep calling this famous guy
your younger brother?
We're practically related.
I don't think he likes that.
We have the same surname.
I'm thinking of adding him to my family tree.
Let's bring him in.
The world star Rain!
- Stay seated. - Mr. World Star.
(Gets right up)
Mr. World Star.
(Giving him the best service)
We can't lift this.
We'll pull him in.
Just like "Match Made in Heaven."
(Touched by the special treatment)
Just like "Match Made in Heaven."
Good to be here.
- Like on "Match Made in Heaven." - Welcome.
They gave these out.
Mr. Rain.
The world star Rain in our basement studio.
Let's give him the test right away.
- What test? - To see if he watches our show.
(Dazed)
(Speaking to him in pig language)
(He doesn't know what to do)
- He's been busy. - What?
We have more to do.
What is it?
As expected from a world star.
He was busy, so he doesn't know.
What? I know.
(They test him again)
(Doesn't know)
You said you know. What are you supposed to say now?
We've been doing this for 6.5 years.
- Can I be honest? - Yes.
I've seen the show
but only short clips.
- That part wouldn't make the clips. - That's right.
We should give him special treatment.
Pronounce each word.
Could. You. Please. Greet. The. Viewers?
When said fast...
(Oh, I see)
Hello, everyone! It's been a long time.
I'm Rain, Jung Jihoon.
I came out with a new album which is why I'm on this show.
Please support my new album.
He was worried we wouldn't ask him about his album.
Excuse me. I'm not finished yet.
I did a variety show with Hyeongdon a few days ago.
Didn't quite go as planned.
He didn't get to talk about his new album.
Not even once.
It felt like my soul was dying.
- People... - We'll give you time.
We'll give you time to promote your album. That's all we'll talk about today.
- Really? - You're a singer today.
Just in case, I'd like to mention it briefly.
The album is called "GANG."
You'll talk about that later! There's a time for that!
Let me talk about it first.
He really wants this.
I just don't trust you guys.
You were together for days and you couldn't talk about your album?
This is a music show.
Fine. I'll let it go for now.
Your outfit gives off that Serengeti vibe.
You look like a tough guy.
You look like you're in the Maasai tribe.
That's right.
It's so that I can promote my album.
We won't let you promote your album for free here though.
The younger kids don't know how you got so famous.
They just know you as the world star Rain.
We'll show them Jung Jihoon's past.
Rain, the first ever variety show you did was "Match Made in Heaven."
That was my first variety show.
And what did you do every time you were on the show?
I danced to promote myself.
Everyone had to dance.
And that's what Kang Hodong wanted.
- You were forced to. - Yes...
But for us...
No, I wasn't forced to.
If you say it like that, it'll make Hodong look bad.
Regardless of what I wanted to do...
It didn't matter what I wanted.
You were a newbie then.
You did an incredible dance move then.
The 3-part bending dance. Do you remember it?
That was like 14... 13 years ago...
Was it 2002?
- I think it was 2003. - 2003...
That's why we prepared a clip. So you can fully remember it.
It was hard for us to get this footage.
That's the front entrance of MBC.
(2017 Rain, 2003 Rain)
I'm so light on my feet.
(Pleased like he raised Rain)
(This is the 3-part bending)
(Even he's impressed by his own dancing)
Wow...
That's how you made all the other celebrities timid.
Now he is no longer a newbie.
The world star's 3-part bending!
We should see it.
You're going to make me do this now.
Of course. I'll take that.
I'll leave it here.
I'm here to do stuff like this.
But you have to give me time to promote my album.
Let me just say this here. I'm not doing more variety shows.
We know that.
You know, right? I don't like to talk about my family.
Of course.
We won't ask that. You're a singer today.
Last time we talked about my family when I said I didn't want to.
- We promise you. - You got it?
We will treat you as Rain the singer today.
Alright. I'm ready. Just give me the music.
The world star Rain is back.
The 3-part bending dance. Cue the music!
(Smirks at the familiar song)
(This is it)
(So cool from head to toe)
- He's still got it. - So fresh!
(We can't compliment him enough)
Impressive...
(He tries his best)
This is the part.
(Spirited Rain in 2003 Complete Rain in 2017)
(We can't believe Rain is dancing in our basement studio)
(Now it feels like Rain is really here)
- Thank you, world star. - Thank you.
I tried my best.
I don't practice as hard as I used to these days.
You made me go all out here.
This is the 2017 version.
Your body definitely seems heavier.
- Right now? - yes.
(At a loss for words)
You were definitely lighter back then.
But...
I'm sorry but your coat is shedding a lot.
If it's too distracting, I'll take it off.
- I just want to promote my album. - We'll give you time.
- I'm really desperate. - You are?
When is your song coming out?
It drops on the 24th.
But this episode will air next year.
Really?
- In January? - Yes.
We'll promote your album next year.
Then I'll push back the release.
You claim you saw a lot of clips of the show.
What episode was the most memorable?
Who was the guest?
- I'd have to say... - You'd have to say...
I'd have to say the JYP episode...
We really got everything out of him here.
I'll just say this.
Why'd he have to do "Bad Girl Good Girl?"
- So you saw it. - He saw it.
Did he have to get on the floor and kick his legs too?
He did everything.
That's how much he loves his artists.
Right.
(He became sad after seeing JYP on the show)
You really wanted to talk about your album. And we'll finally let you do that now.
- But before that... - Before that?
We're sorry.
(Anxious)
We're sorry. We have to ask you to do something first.
Why do you keep making me anxious?
- I'm feeling anxious. - Before we start that...
We should see his bio.
- Rain, the world star. - What kind of person is he?
We'll take a look at his records.
The first Asian singer to do a worldwide concert tour.
He toured 11 countries around the world.
Amazing.
The first Asian singer to get a grand slam on MTV.
Now that's impressive.
He's the first one.
He made Time Magazine's 100 most influential people list.
People magazine's 100 most beautiful people.
Others that made these lists are Barack Obama
and Puff Daddy who goes by P. Diddy.
And he won the best action star award at the MTV Movie Awards.
The candidates then were
Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Matt Damon!
All his friends and colleagues.
"Ninja Assassin."
Amazing!
Wonderful!
Gorgeous.
I got lucky and won that award.
World Star is a nickname my fans made for me.
But it's true. I just confirmed it.
Rain likes to be modest.
But he's the starting point.
Who is it thanks to that BTS gets work in the States?
Thanks to Rain! He set the standard.
Hold on. It's not because of me.
You raised BTS!
- You're the father of BTS! - Why are you doing this to me?
PSY would be nowhere if it wasn't for you!
Please don't say things like this.
People, it has nothing to do with me.
The Columbus of culture!
He discovered the new world.
Their success is all thanks to their own efforts.
It has nothing to do with me.
People started caring because you did so much work overseas.
He made a path when there wasn't one
so that his juniors could comfortably walk on that path.
He's the machete chopping through the jungle that is the music industry.
He carved out his own path.
The father of culture.
The Columbus of K-pop.
What I'm starting to feel again now...
Is that I should avoid Hyeongdon.
I came up with the wrong strategy.
I feel like you're going to wear me out here.
Again, I'd like to say this about Rain...
Worship him!
The UN Secretary General of K-pop!
Stop saying things like that!
K-pop can be divided into before and after Rain!
Put Rain in the textbooks!
Rain made JYP!
That's true though.
- It's true. - That's definitely true.
You put JYP on the map.
I like that.
But calling me the whatever of K-pop and a world star...
Terms like that... I want to be modest.
We're not trying to flatter you. It's all true.
They're facts.
(Where did everything go wrong?)
We heard often here from idols
that you're their role model.
When they were asked who they respect they all said Rain.
That's why we're being like this.
They all said Rain.
Gikwang of Highlight.
Baekhyun of EXO.
Jimin of BTS.
See? Who raised BTS?
Jimin grew up watching Rain.
Don't say things like that!
Make some noise!
(His blood pressure will go up... It happens here)
That's the most nicknames we've ever given someone.
He's the best.
Honestly, idol dances these days...
Can you keep up with them?
- The dances idols do? - Yes.
My style is a bit different from theirs.
They're a lot better at dancing than me.
But you were born with the gift.
You can watch and learn the moves right away.
- Right away? - Yes.
I don't know about that...
Does he still have that dancing DNA left?
We'll take some time now to test him.
If you pass this segment, right afterwards...
You can promote your album.
You have to succeed.
We never talked about this.
- We didn't talk about this either. - Hold on.
All idols have to succeed in this segment.
Your goal is right in front of your eyes.
Promoting your album. You can talk all you want.
There's ground up there.
So I have to do something first?
If you can watch and copy idol dances
we'll let you promote your album.
If you fail, unfortunately...
It sure is hard to make a living.
You have to try hard at life, alright?
Let's see the clip.
(Kang Daniel's thigh dance)
Kang Daniel.
(Wow)
Rain's an expert at those moves.
(Taemin's "Move" dance)
Taemin.
(Sunmi's "Gashina" dance)
(Goodness...)
Rain has been watching.
Kang Daniel's dance.
Come to think of it, Kang Daniel also said Rain.
Right! He said you were his role model.
Yeah.
I just want to leave right now.
You can promote our album right after this segment.
I'm not doing this.
You just have to get past this segment.
You can promote your album right after this segment.
If you can perfectly copy all the dances...
And 90% of the staff here vote for you...
(Rain's going to do it!)
If they raise their hand agreeing that you can promote your album...
Once you get the votes, you'll get to promote your album.
The staff will raise their hands.
I can't believe you guys!
Shouldn't you guys tell me things like this?
90% of them have to vote for you.
If you don't get 90% of the votes,
you'll get the boot.
You never know. We might give you the super pass.
Will you get to promote your album?
These are uncomfortable. Get me different shoes.
To get the votes.
Might as well do it right.
Rain is back.
This isn't what I expected to do here.
(Many more unexpected things will happen)
Will our staff vote for him?
Here we go. Cue the music.
(Wow)
(Huh?)
This isn't right.
Hold on.
You were off beat.
- I was deliberating. - I think you were off beat.
People that dance have to deliberate.
It was really obvious you were off beat.
Give me a chance.
You took too long to get on beta.
I was thinking.
I was about to put my hand in and out.
One more time. Korea's greatest dancing master.
After Isadora Duncan...
The greatest master of dancing was born in Korea.
Watch this, world!
I don't want to do this! I want to leave!
Cue the music!
(Focusing)
(They watch like hawks)
(You're off beat again...)
(His dancing gets timid)
- Hold on. - The beat...
I'm sorry but you're really off beat.
I'm leaving. This is too hard.
You already got a few votes. You're almost there.
- I give up. - Your goal is right in front of you.
I'm not that desperate.
We want you to be desperate. Be desperate about your album.
I'm not that desperate. I can still put food on the table.
No, you're very desperate.
Let go!
(Hyeongdon clings on in case Rain really leaves)
I felt how desperate you are
on the travel show we did.
I believe in you, Rain.
Just give me the music again.
Cue the music.
- The dancing master. - Of course.
The dancing master.
(Awaken, god of dancing)
(He adds some cool extra moves)
(He misses the beat for the killer part again)
(Hyeongdon watches in case Rain wants to leave again)
(Endless encouragement)
(He seems so timid)
You win!
Taemin's dance.
(He starts dancing once the music starts)
You're getting votes!
- Hands are going up! - You're getting votes!
(About to get 90%)
- You're getting votes! - Where?
- You're getting votes. - You're almost at 90%.
Just the manager's left.
(Changes the song before he wants to leave again)
(It won't work this time)
Hold on.
I'm not going to put out my album.
I don't care if you air this or not.
Let go!
- I don't care if you air this! - You're almost there!
Your manager voted too!
(Show us)
You just have to do this.
(They really want him to do the dance)
Then you'll get all the votes.
Cue the music! Sunmi's song.
(About to get into it)
For the final votes!
(He's so easily swayed...)
(Like this)
Hold on.
I'm not going to release my album.
All the votes!
You pass!
It's okay.
- You did it. - You passed.
Finally time to promote his album.
(Feels happy yet sad)
It's finally time.
He said he wouldn't release it.
But think of your staff. You have to put it out.
How long has it been since your last album?
I'm not putting an album out. I'm not.
I'm shutting this album down.
You haven't even released it.
You didn't let me talk on the travel show. You won't let me talk here.
Now's your chance. You can keep talking about your album.
- Then don't interrupt me. - Okay.
We'll officially ask you.
What number album is this?
This one is...
A mini album. You could say it's my 8th album.
How many tracks?
5 tracks.
They're acoustic songs performed with a band.
But one song is
a song with dancing so that I can perform it on stage.
The song is called "GANG."
Gang in English.
What's the genre?
The lyrics are about me.
My life story.
That's why the album is called "My Life."
The dance moves for my song...
There's an animalistic dance.
- You got it from a gorilla? - Yes, kind of.
There's also a move where I stand still and fall.
Let's see it.
"GANG."
- The dance moves are amazing. - He's back after so long.
Here we go.
Cue the music.
("GANG" by Rain)
(The basement studio seems so different)
(On point)
[Kocowa Ver] E332 Weekly Idol (Rain) -= Ruo Xi =-
(Rolls)
(His power awakens)
(Totally immersed)
(You can't take your eyes off his dancing)
(The gorilla moves to the beat)
(So wild)
(He takes time to catch his breath)
(The real song starts now)
(A minimalistic beat)
(He's so flexible as he busts out the hard moves)
(He's gentle yet imposing)
(He shows some aggressive krumping)
(His dancing is both physical and powerful)
(Rain shows how amazing he is)
(Putting it all on the dance floor)
(And that's it)
I got the chills!
Did you see this?
It was killer.
This is the first time being so immersed by a performance.
Anyway... That's how it goes.
Did you come up with the choreography yourself?
Yes, I came up with most of it.
It was very animalistic.
Just one person... In this short span...
You had quite the presence.
We were all holding our breaths.
The younger singers will be amazed when they see this.
Now all the boy bands are going to roll on the floor.
They should since their senior did.
He might be world star Rain.
But we have punishments on this show.
And we have a signature segment
that has kept this show on TV a long time.
The Random Play Dance.
I've actually been waiting for this.
- Why? - Did you practice?
I wanted to do this.
I did this at a fan meeting too.
Oh, I see. But your fans...
They could think that you prepared those dances ahead of time.
- Oh, really? - We'll really pick random songs.
That's fine with me.
We didn't have this rule before,
but we made a special rule for you.
With each successful round, we'll give you a gift.
It's the first time we're doing this.
For every round?
There are 3 rounds.
You're never this nice on this show.
Why are you doing this?
- You're a world star. - Why are you being nice?
The first gift...
- Put it up. - Your gift.
We won't talk about your family. It's a gift.
We never talked about your family. It's just a gift!
This can make him uncomfortable.
We'll cover it up.
We'll give you a gift.
On other variety shows I've done...
I never felt like I was losing something.
We prepared gifts and that's all we'll say.
Alright.
Here we go then. The Random Play Dance for Rain.
He has so many hit songs.
- We haven't seen these in a while. - Here's round 1.
Cue the music!
("GANG" by Rain)
(Hesitates)
(He seems a bit timid)
Huh?
(Rain fails the Random Play Dance in 5 seconds)
You fail!
In 5 seconds!
The world star!
He fails!
Hold on!
You guys are really terrible people.
You fail round 1.
You usually don't play the new song.
No, we usually play the new song first.
(He only watches clips of this show)
Then let's do what we used to and pretend this didn't happen.
Alright! I'm ready to give it a shot now.
You'll get in trouble for doing that on TV these days.
We air everything.
On to round 2.
The gift for round 2.
We will not talk about it. We won't talk about it.
This could make him uncomfortable.
We'll just let you hear it.
Just the sound.
Let's do this then. Since it's been a while...
Let's omit the new song.
I'm supposed to be dancing here.
Give me the next song.
It's round 2.
This isn't good. We're not getting good footage.
Cue the music.
("GANG" by Rain)
"GANG" from before.
(Rain is on point this time)
This dance takes a lot out of you.
(Such a cool-looking dance)
It still looks cool.
("How To Avoid the Sun" by Rain)
(Gets right into the dance)
♪ I wanted to avoid the sun ♪
I've been waiting for this song.
He seems so relaxed for the first time.
I was expecting it.
For the first time.
("Rainism" by Rain)
(Doesn't hesitate at all)
He must've done this at his concert.
You're doing really well now.
("Love Song" by Rain)
(Dancing)
He really did practice!
(He smirks a bit)
I haven't seen this in a while.
I've been waiting for this song!
(Getting into it)
("Bad Guy" by Rain)
This is how this part goes!
(Seems suspicious, Defending himself)
No! This is how it goes!
Really? Okay, we'll let it slide.
- For real! - We'll let it slide.
We'll let it slide.
I'm a bit suspicious.
(He seems to be telling the truth)
("Instead Say Goodbye" by Rain)
(Rain brings out his cuteness)
I think you're taking a break.
This is how this part goes.
You can check a clip to confirm it. Go ahead and check.
(They seem doubtful)
("I Do" by Rain)
(The dances are becoming really simplified)
No... Hold on.
(He smiles while he dances shamelessly)
Hold on, hold on.
That's how it goes!
This is one of your dance moves?
That's like a dance for children!
That's how the part goes!
As I sing...
(Powerful children's dance)
You have a move like this?
I'll give you the footage. I really do that.
The we'll let it slide...
There's still one round left.
You succeed at round 2.
You don't have to give me that. Excuse me.
(Rummaging)
Just hold it for now.
I have to hold it like this?
The gift for round 3.
(Round 3 for Rain's Random Play Dance)
A great prize for round 3! This is a good one.
He'll want this.
We'll show you what it is.
It's a top-grade Korean beef set.
Top-grade Korean beef.
I've seen Rain eat and he eats a ton.
He eats a lot and he loves meat.
We should give him some.
If you succeed, you get to take this.
- If you fail, we'll keep it. - Alright.
It's the third and last round.
Cue the music.
("The Best Present" by Rain)
Cue the music.
(Huh?)
(He's at a standstill)
(Not again...)
You're out!
(Flustered)
(The two pigs will get the beef set)
(This isn't why we got the beef...)
Alright. We'll split this 50-50.
Thank you!
Thank you.
How could you do this to me?
But that's one of your newer songs.
I didn't expect it at all.
Why not? It's your song.
Don't I get another chance?
Gosh...
Put something on the line that's good enough for this beef.
No, I'm good.
Just take it.
I don't care about the prizes. This is hurting my pride.
Play me some other songs.
Then since you're so bad at dancing...
(Shocked)
We'll omit a few songs.
No, that'll hurt my pride. I'm not omitting anything.
Don't try to omit songs. I'm fine.
- We omitted some songs. - I'll give it a go.
- Really? - I'll do it. No sweat.
For a head flick?
- A head flick? - Yeah.
- Then do I get to hit you if I succeed? - Deal.
(Really determined)
No omissions but take out "The Best Present."
(Oh, come on)
You were talking about your pride!
It's fine. I don't need pride.
You said no omissions.
We'll omit "The Best Present."
With Rain's pride on the line. Cue the music!
("Rainism" by Rain)
(He feels the pressure to dance)
(Things aren't going well for him today)
Why am I so bad at dancing today?
You're terrible at dancing today.
(Trying hard)
("Love Song" by Rain)
(Staring)
(Wary)
This is how it goes. For real.
Looks different from before.
(What happened to the dancing god?)
(They're making him look bad today)
("Bad Guy" by Rain)
(Hesitates for a second)
(Rain misses the timing)
(He continues to dance to the song)
("Instead Say Goodbye" by Rain)
(He's starting to find his pace again)
(I like this song)
(He looks lighter on his feet)
("GANG" by Rain)
(I'll show you the real deal)
(Takes off his watch)
You want to make me exercise today.
It's the last song.
(Here I go)
(He gives it his all)
I want to watch this forever.
(Giving it his all)
(It's almost a waste for him to dance this hard here)
So dope.
(So charismatic)
You succeed!
(Exhausted)
Let's give him the prize.
Instead of a head flick... Take the beef...
No, I'm fine. I'd prefer to hit you.
Take the beef.
Why? No, I'm good.
This is better than a head flick.
Because of last week's violence we can't do that on TV.
For Rain the meat lover,
a top-grade Korean beef set!
You should learn how to dance.
(We'll move onto the next segment)
(Weekly Idol)
We're with Rain! The rewritten profile!
- We haven't done this segment in forever. - Seriously.
Rain, when exactly did you debut?
I debuted as Rain in April 2002.
Do you remember your profile then?
I didn't write anything then.
So now after over 10 years...
How have you changed? We'll rewrite your profile.
Alright.
Rain. Your real name is Jung Jihoon.
You're known for having broad shoulders.
Rain is known for his shoulders.
His shoulders make his outfits look better.
They're so broad.
Were you born with these? Your broad shoulders?
It's from being beaten up a lot as a kid.
What does that have to do with anything?
They got broader from being beaten?
I got beat up a lot as a kid.
- Really? - Yes.
No way.
I was bullied a lot
and right when I was about to enter middle school...
Enough was enough. I told my parents.
I swam in the morning and went to the gym in the afternoon.
- I did weight training. - A personal trainer in middle school?
Before I entered middle school. And I took hapkido in the evening.
The older boys at hapkido
taught me to be tough.
- You keep promoting yourself. - Of course.
That's when I bulked up.
Do you know who Kang Daniel is?
Sure.
He's known for his broad shoulders too.
I think Rain's shoulders will be 1m apart.
You're going to measure me now?
(He's confident in his shoulders)
- They're so broad. - This is so...
Where do they start?
This is the shoulder.
This is where it starts.
Broader than most people...
19, 20, 25...
We're only halfway there and it's at 30cm.
Gosh...
This is embarrassing. I don't even have my shirt off...
This feels embarrassing. I feel like covering up.
He really has broad shoulders.
How wide are they?
- 57cm. - 57cm.
You truly have broad shoulders.
You're also proud of your butt? I have quite the butt too.
I have a very nice butt.
- But... - What?
Mine is gorgeous.
(Scary just to think about)
- You've never felt it? - His butt?
He has such a high butt.
All the idols lost to me.
Let's feel each other's butts.
- You'll be surprised. - For real.
I have a killer butt.
(Hyeongdon does have an impressive butt)
It goes up like spikes.
Me too though. Feel.
Not bad at all.
This area.
- Do we have to turn around? - We're wearing pants.
This feels weird.
You have to see from the side actually.
You know, right?
Stand to the side and we'll get it.
- Nice grip. - Hold on.
(Startled)
You have a right to be proud of your butt.
Why'd you poke my butt though?
I feel like I've finally met a rival.
I'll give you both a feel to see who has the better butt.
Guys like him should have saggy butts but he doesn't.
It's not easy to have a butt like this with this body.
Hold on. I'm not ready yet.
- You have to get ready? - Yes.
I've never done squats in my life.
I've done a lot.
This is very...
(Goodness)
(Slap)
Hold on...
That's how I grab butts.
You haven't seen the show? I grab all their butts like this.
(Come on)
- You startled me. - I was surprised.
I thought the frozen beef was here.
Very firm and nice.
But...
Nice, right?
(The sound of the slap echoes in the basement studio)
Perfect, right?
(He's at a loss for words)
You both have nice butts.
But I like what I'm used to.
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
You two were very close.
I'll acknowledge it.
I have a nice butt.
Nice hips.
Rain has a nice butt. CF.
Bet you don't know what CF is.
I know. Confirmed.
(Of course I know that...)
Sure, I know.
CBC?
- What? - What's CBC?
That's like standard vocabulary.
CBC? What's that?
Oh, no...
What is it?
- I can't believe it. - Hold on.
Really? That's a term people use?
How could you not know?
They're not making this up, are they?
We're not!
- Do you know "bbaebak?" - It means "no take backs."
- How about "bbaebak can't?" - Pardon?
Bbaebak can't.
Hold on...
- I know "bbaebak can't." - What is it?
(This isn't on pause)
Huh?
- Here's an easy one. - What is it?
Do you know what "jjang" means?
What does king wang jjang mean?
"Bbaebak can't" means you can't take it back. (The same meaning as the original)
That's why we add the word "can't" in English.
- This is big trouble. - We're teaching him a lot.
Do you know Justin Bieber's Korean name?
- Justin Bieber? - Yes.
Ddeuddo.
Why? Ddeuddo?
Why?
When you turn Bieber written in Hangeul it becomes Ddeuddo.
(Oh, come on)
You have to know Ddeuddo.
Nobody uses that term, right?
- So many people do. - Everyone does!
Be honest. You made this up.
Don't be like this.
Look. Ddeuddo.
We didn't make Ddeuddo up.
Justin Bieber is Ddeuddo.
- It's for real! - Of course it is!
(This is a new world for him)
It's for real! Sheesh!
You knew about this? You didn't, right?
This is bad.
Even foreigners know this.
Rain, when you release your new album
people will write "ddingban" on the internet.
(Puzzled again)
- "Ddingban"? - Oh, no!
"Ddingban." "God ddingban."
- What? - "God ddingban."
How much do we have to explain?
What's "ddingban"?
An amazing album. Kids these day say "ddingban."
- No way... - A divine masterpiece.
For real?
You have to know these things to get star balloons later.
What's that?
What are star balloons?
(They really enjoy teasing him)
What are star balloons?
There's no end to what we have to explain to him.
Just remember, YOLO. This won't do.
Golly, what do I do about this?
Golly? What an outdated term!
You should've said yikes.
Gosh, I really shouldn't put out an album.
Why don't I know this stuff?
You don't know any new terms!
If someone called my album a ddingban...
- I could've gotten angry at that. - It's a compliment.
It means an amazing album.
Gang" will be ddingban.
- An amazing piece of work. - Indeed.
The agency you want to be in is YG.
Really?
I said this before in an interview.
I learned the JYP system.
So I also wanted to learn the YG system,
which is why I said this.
But then why'd you say that
YG is a better dancer than JYP?
This was taken out of context.
JYP and YG's dance styles...
- Are very different. - They're different.
JYP does soulful dances.
He places an importance on lines and big movements.
YG's dance style
is hip hop. Freestyle.
It's easy for a dancer to explain in words.
But can we see some actual dance moves to compare?
For example... A move like this...
A soulful dance.
For soul... People usually do the running man like this.
But that dance was originally...
- Huh? - Back in the day.
But that dance was originally...
- Huh? - Back in the day.
This is the original running man.
That's how Bobby Brown and MC Hammer danced.
But the way YG dances...
It's straight-up hip hop.
He dances hip hop. For example...
(Dancing with swag)
(Feeling it)
Like "Come Back Home" by Seo Taiji and Boys.
Now that you mention it, I've never seen JYP dance like that.
JYP can't do dances like this.
It's not that he doesn't.
He can't.
We're talking about JYP.
We'll talk about the student becoming the master.
Beat JYP!
When JYP was on our show,
he left behind a legendary clip.
Now Rain will attempt to do the same.
Show us the clip.
(He singing makes him nervous)
(Jinyoung, why?)
(Rain has never seen this side of JYP)
♪ I really like you ♪
- ♪ This much ♪ - I've seen this!
♪ I really love you ♪
This is the old cute song.
These days it's the baby shark song.
To be considerate to Rain...
We'll request a song that he'll know.
Here we go.
This can't be good for promoting my album.
Because... Think about it. I've worked so hard to prepare everything...
And this will be the only clip that goes viral.
- Yu Huiyeol did this too. - No, I don't want to see it.
Let's see Yu Huiyeol's version.
Excuse me.
♪ You know, I have something to say ♪
♪ The thing is, I like you ♪
Our show is amazing, isn't it?
Look at his eyes. Look at those small eyes.
♪ I really like you ♪
(The killer part)
The unavoidable segment. The cute song.
You came out with a new album for your fans after so long.
Think about your fans.
As I watched this show...
I figured you wouldn't make me do this.
- It's our signature segment. - Right.
This will make it 3 legendary clips for the viewers.
JYP, Yu Huiyeol and Rain.
- Here's Rain's version. - For his fans.
(Deep sigh)
Here we go. It's short.
Let's get a legendary clip.
5, 6, 7, 8.
The...
♪ The thing is, the thing is ♪
You got the lyrics wrong.
(Save me...)
- You can't end it so soon. - That's not how it goes.
You sang that part twice. I understand you're eager.
You were doing well.
Do you have to make me do this?
JYP and Yu Huiyeol did it.
Do you have to hear this?
After hearing JYP's version we were happy for 3 days.
This is all for your fans.
This isn't for our amusement.
- What's the point of doing this for guys? - Yeah!
Here we go. The thing is...
Excuse me...
This isn't easy for me. Can you sing with me?
- For us... - We've done this so many times.
I just can't do this. It's too much.
(He's already acting cute)
- It's too hard for me. - I'll stand by your side.
I feel like hitting myself.
I'll be right behind you.
(Hyeongdon and Rain's cuteness collaboration)
♪ The thing is, I have something to say ♪
♪ The thing is, I like you ♪
(He brings out his cuteness thanks to Hyeongdon)
♪ This much, this much, this much, this much ♪
♪ That's how much I like you ♪
(He gets through the cute song)
That's enough.
Remember to edit my part out.
You have a lot of famous quotes.
"Hardship is my most precious asset."
You had many hardships.
"Wherever I dance is where the stage is."
It's like a social media profile.
"The moment my body can't follow the beat, I'll stop dancing."
So your body is still faster than the beats.
I think I should quit now.
- You have a lot of quotes. - Whoever hears these...
Might be like, "Why does a young man have such deep thoughts?"
But these were the reasons I endured.
They're good quotes.
For example, when I was a trainee...
I thought, "Will they make an album for me?"
"Will someone make me a singer?"
I was filled with thoughts like these. So I used post-its...
I filled up a wall with inspirational quotes.
Whenever I was feeling down in the morning...
That's good.
Or when I was mentally unstable or wanted to quit...
That's when I read those quotes I wrote
to get me through the day. That's how I got by.
- This is a good thing. - Very good.
This will show in your music later.
Any recent inspirational quotes?
Recently? I don't need them.
Why? Because you want to let everything go?
- No. - Since you're no longer struggling.
It's like this. When I was young
all I wanted to do was succeed.
I wanted fame and honor.
I worked really hard and my 20s had gone by.
But now...
I'm the head of a family.
And I have to consider what's around me.
You should stop to take a look around.
I'm at a point in my life where I can make music comfortably.
Then... Just answer honestly what comes to mind.
Many idols consider you their role model.
What kind of warm words of encouragement do you have for them?
I don't have to be warm, right?
Sure, be honest.
Try to keep up with me if you can.
(He still wants to keep climbing to the top)
- That's great. - "Try to keep up with me if you can."
If you edit that weird, it could make me look really bad...
We'll put it in the preview.
And see how people react.
He got really annoyed with us earlier.
Mix that in.
When he wanted to leave.
We're with Rain, the world star.
Before we hear his closing words...
You still have something left to do.
We don't have to.
Thank you for inviting me today...
Rain, you never know...
- You'll want to do this. - What is it?
You never know so we're going to keep promoting your album.
You'll want to do this.
And you've never tried it before.
What is it? I'll try it.
Let's hear your thoughts on today's show first.
So how was it for you today?
Yes. Thank you so much for inviting me here today.
There's a reason why I came on this show.
Strangely, shows with Hyeongdon
are a lot of fun for me.
And they're fun for me to watch.
That's why I came on this show.
To show you all my fun side.
Please continue to support me
And my album. Please support my album as well.
So we'll end it with a double-time dance.
With his new song?
- No. "Rainism." - Oh, "Rainism."
You'll dance to "Rainism" in double-time.
So we'll end it with a double-time dance.
With his new song?
- No. "Rainism." - Oh, "Rainism."
You'll dance to "Rainism" in double-time.
Rainism" will be really hard to dance at double-time.
Can I hear the song?
(Playing at double-time)
(The widest his eyes have gotten today)
It's practically like EDM.
How do I dance to this?
I can't dance to this.
(Trying to keep up)
- You're doing it! - You heard the song.
- Get ready. - Let's move this stuff.
For real?
You can do it. It's not hard.
♪ Bad boy, bad, bad boy ♪
- Just move a bit faster. - Yeah, a bit faster.
I'll give it a shot.
The world star Rain is on Weekly Idol.
We want to truly thank you.
His title track for his new album is "GANG."
We hope it's a smash hit.
And we hope to see you again on our show.
This has been Rain!
Cue the music!
(Worried, nervous)
(Gets into the beat)
- He can do it. - He can do it.
Impressive, Rain.
(My body is still faster than the beat)
(The killer part)
Wow, this is really fast.
(He's doing this)
(His dance is captivating)
(Relaxed)
Look how relaxed he is.
(He has quite the stage presence)

How do I dance to this?
(Smiling like a dad, Like a talent show)
- Have you been watching me? - Of course.
(Our wish has come true)
How does this part go?
(We thank Rain for being a good sport about our silly requests and teasing)

Hello, viewers. I'm Uhm Junghwa.

I had nowhere else to go.
