Throwback Thursday - Bi Rain "Rainism" Music Video Reaction 

This song has almost all Kpop idol on chokehold, like if you play it they will all dance to it 😭

Rain is one of the reason why taemin want to be kpop idol

He's the OG of K-pop. I started loving Kpop because of Rain.

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. ^@@^

Rain is definetely a legend in the Kpop industry.

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.

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.

The most iconic male kpop solo.

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. 💪

Rain is who got me into kpop when I was 16, I'm 30 now lol still love him.

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

Omg. Rainism is 🔥

Check out the live version 2008 Korea Film Awards - with pole - best version I think

YES!!!!! MORE RAIN!!!!

I remember when this featured on Colbert and it was a huge deal at the time haha

Rain is the GOAT. I love this song and the whole album.

This song freaking iconic, Please next react to rain - how to avoid the sun

I was obsessed with this song 😍 One of the first kpop songs I ever heard.

He was very popular then

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!
