In the same year, Rain was recruited as a trainee forJYP Entertainment, led by recording artist and producerPark Jin-young.[citation needed] In aCNN interview and also in aDiscovery Channel documentary calledDiscovering Hip Korea,[8] he recalled being repeatedly rejected because of his looks: "In fact, I was told after one audition that my singing and dancing was great but I did not make it because I did not havedouble eyelids." He was eventually recruited into JYP Entertainment, as Park Jin-young saw his drive and persistence. During his early years of training, Rain was a backup dancer.[9]

Rain, aged 16, debuted as a member of a boy band named Fanclub (팬클럽).[3] Despite releasing two albums, the group failed to be commercially successful.[10][11] On May 13, 2002, Jung debuted as a solo singer with his first solo album titledBad Guy where he was introduced to the media through his stage name, Rain. Two singles were released from the album—the eponymous title track "Bad Guy" and "Handshake". Following the success of his debut, Rain released his second album,How to Avoid the Sun[a] on October 16, 2003, with the lead single "How to Avoid the Sun", again to commercial success.[12] From 2002 to 2003, he became a host forKBS'sMusic Bank.
Rain then released his third album,It's Raining on October 8, 2004, which further consolidated his popularity throughout East and Southeast Asia. To promote the release, Rain embarked on his first tour,Rainy Day Tour, which spanned a total of 14 concerts in 8 countries.[13] The album went on to sell over a million copies in Asia,[14] cementing Rain's position as one of the region's top musical acts. According to JYP Entertainment, Rain earned US$35 million in revenue from promotional activities and endorsements throughout 2005.[15]
As part of his Rainy Day Tour, Rain held a two-day concert atThe Theater at Madison Square Garden inNew York City in February 2006. It was the largest concert by a Korean artist in the city at the time, attracting over 10,000 people, and was sold out within a matter of days.[16] The concert featured appearances fromPark Ji-yoon, as well asJoJo,P. Diddy andOmarion and was promoted by the Asian concert production company Rainstone Live.[15][17][18] In April 2006, Rain was included inTime magazine's list of "100 Most Influential People in the World".[19][20] Rain released his debut Japanese album,Eternal Rain on September 13, 2006, which peaked at number 14 on theOricon Albums Chart.[21]
After his Japanese promotions, Rain followed up with the release of his fourth album,Rain's World on October 14, 2006.[22] It was the 9th best-selling album of the year in South Korea, and a repackage of the album was released 2 months later.

In April 2007, Rain toppedTime Magazine's online user poll, defeatingStephen Colbert by 100,000 votes;[29] Colbert jokingly retaliated by producing a parody of Rain's music video for "How to Avoid the Sun" called "He's Singin' In Korean", and challenged Rain to a dance-off or a "cuddle-off", or a "spoon-off".[30] He also made it intoPeople's 2007 list of the "Most Beautiful People" in the world.[31] In a press release, Rain stated that he was honored to be on the list, and also noted that it will be a great boost to his efforts to raise his public awareness in the United States.[32] On May 25, 2007, Rain became the first Korean artist to hold a concert at theTokyo Dome, which attracted nearly 40,000 attendees.[33] Later that year, Rain leftJYP Entertainment to start his own company,J. Tune Entertainment, but still retains his collaborative relationship with Park Jin-young. On May 5, 2008, Rain appeared in a surprise guest segment at the end ofThe Colbert Report, and proceeded to engage Colbert in a dance-off on aDance Dance Revolution machine.[34][35]

On November 24, 2008, the Commission of Youth Protection deemed the album inappropriate for people under 19 years old because the lyrics in the song "Rainism" were considered problematic due to their phallic and sexual references.[40] Rain re-released a "clean version" of "Rainism" shortly after, but instead of changing the original album's contents, a sticker was placed on the album that prohibited its sale to those under 19 years old.[41]

That's pretty impressive online power for a guy whose main claim to Western fame is a role in the 2009 film Ninja Assassin."[49] Along with theTime honor, Rain went on a farewell tour,The Best Show Tour, before his 21-month compulsory military service.[50] The tour spanned Southeast Asia including his first tour dates throughout South Korea.[51] His last concert, Rain: Last of The Best was deemed as the best event in Gangnam District for 2011.[52]
