With his comeback album, “rainism” and his attempt to take over the world with it, you need to understand the man. To do that, you first need to understand his language. POPSEOUL! has picked the top 5, “Rainisms” to get inside the mind and menu of the so-called “world star,” Rain.

5th: “Finally, I make it”

How cute is that? -not. Sounds like something a five year old child would say, but a grown man said it on his comeback special on MBC in October 2008.

4th: “you know”

Rain used “you know” at every opportunity during his English interviews at Comic con in the summer, you know. You know that he must have been really nervous, you know, but that’s not an excuse, you know to speak in “you knows.”

An excerpt from the Latinoreview.com interview in response to training for his role in Ninja Assassin:

You know every time you know every day I throw up. [LAUGHS] It was really hard. You know it almost killed me

3rd: “Magic Feet”

In our phone interview with Rain this summer (sorry the interview is no longer available), the singer himself told us to call him: “magic feet.” So now we know the extend of his creativity- from “magic feet” to “magic stick” (see below)

2nd: “magic stick” or pronounced by Rain as “majesty”

So we know Rain is desperate to settle down. For goodness sakes, the man referred to his 2 swords in the promo movie poster for Ninja Assassin as his “2 girlfriends.” And he recently confessed he is going to get married next year (more on that later). So now we know what he wants to do with “Magic stick? Too much information.

“Magic stick” is part of the creative lyrics written by Rain for his latest song, “Bad Boy.”

And finally…drum roll please…..

1st: “controlling my mind and menus with chicken breast and vegetables…”

This is easily best line of 2008. The pop star used the memorized phrase a few times in his English interviews at Comic com in San Diego at the end of July 2008 (and we have used it relentlessly on POPSEOUL!). Best. Line. Ever.
