Thanks for putting "Rainism" on your Throwback Thursday and thank you for your honest reaction to this 2008 video! This was Rain's very first comeback after parting with JYP and after being away from the Korean music scene for a couple of years, filming Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin. He came to Compton to get the base choreo and filmed the MV in Thailand. The pressure to prove he could succeed on his own was crazy, but he did it when "Rainism" took all the charts and the English version of "Love Story" (another track) went No. 1 across the world. (Songs on the other album versions were in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese.) "Rainism" did get in a little trouble though because of his cane, a.k.a. Magic Stick. The Korean censors did not like it "swirling around inside our bodies" LMAO and clapped an age rating on the album. Rain was all like, but I told y'all it's just this lit-up cane I'm dancing with. We and the censors were like, oh yeah sure, we believe that, Rain LOL! The live performances were amazing and fun. Great, great times :) I totally agree that a re-engineered, up to date version of the song itself would be interesting to hear. ^@@^
Oh i remember when this came out man it was hot then and is still a great bop now but you really need to see the live stage of this his dancing especially with the cane is stellar
He's the whole reason Shownu from Monsta X wanted to become an idol, and I think him for that. Btw, Shownu covering this song, the coreo, on a weekly idol was chef's kiss.
Regardless of how I feel about Rain’s music, shout out to Rain for being the first swole idol out there so nowadays we can have Wonho basically stripping in his music videos for us. 💪
Absolutely, you are right! Shirt ripping, crotch grabbing, beast mode, Rain started all that, had to apologize to the censors for it, and continued doing it LOL! Wonho -- my goodness, what a beast!!
BTS covered this (I think most Kpop groups did) with JK in the lead. It was great of course and worth a look, but no one moves like Rain. Can't get this on Spotify for some reason .
So many idols have covered this song like Jungkook from BTS and Dahyun from Twice but the best cover is the relay by P1Harmony. They are super good check them out 👌🏻
Dame Diddy -- you need to do your homework. Check out the video of BTS and other Kpop groups trying to do Rainism and the "cane". You were focusing on props that don't matter -- the speed of the fan...... really?? You missed the entire point. Look at it again.
This song has almost all Kpop idol on chokehold, like if you play it they will all dance to it 😭
... yeah.
Rain is one of the reason why taemin want to be kpop idol
And many others 😁

He's the OG of K-pop. I started loving Kpop because of Rain.
Rain started it all. If you never have seen his work, you are in for a treat. All of Kpop is in awe of Rain - and for a good reason.
Rain is definetely a legend in the Kpop industry.

The most iconic male kpop solo.
YES!!!!! MORE RAIN!!!!
Rain is the GOAT. I love this song and the whole album.
Check out the live version 2008 Korea Film Awards - with pole - best version I think
I was obsessed with this song 😍 One of the first kpop songs I ever heard.
I remember when this featured on Colbert and it was a huge deal at the time haha
This song freaking iconic, Please next react to rain - how to avoid the sun
Avoid the Sun is so good.
@@Lotsielots absolutely
So iconic
I know the MV is a little weird haha but the song is ICONIC!!! Every single idol know that song and choreography and many have made covers of it!
Really enjoying the 2nd gen throwbacks. I hope T-ara, 2am and cnblue are among these. Thanks.
He was very popular then
Glad you liked it, this song was really huge in its time and Rain is one of the founding fathers of kpop
This is the first kpop video I ever saw! I found it right after he started in Ninja Assassin and the rest is history
I loved that movie.
레이니즘은 무대가 찐인데 🤩
Have you seen the movie Ninja Assassin? It's a Hollywood movie, and Rain was the main actor. If you haven't, check it.
BTS covered this (I think most Kpop groups did) with JK in the lead. It was great of course and worth a look, but no one moves like Rain. Can't get this on Spotify for some reason .
The King of Kpop. Fact.
Super junior sorry sorry answer reaction plz! It's a masterpiece to this date as well !!
Not sure if you guys know, but Dahyun actually had a solo stage of this back in 2018 TWICELAND concert where it was Dahyunism instead!
This song is ICONIC. If you want an even older throwback, react to his song Bad Guy. That’s from the EARLY 2000s and still hits
So many idols have covered this song like Jungkook from BTS and Dahyun from Twice but the best cover is the relay by P1Harmony. They are super good check them out 👌🏻

This song is iconic but I still find the English cringey.
