• “Wishing you’re happy”— Rain Shares Personal Thoughts on Possible Retirement from Showbiz

    In his latest video on his YouTube channel, Season B Season, Rain took fans on a nostalgic journey to the neighborhood where the old JYP Entertainment building once stood.

    During the visit, Rain wandered around the area, reminiscing about his days as a trainee at JYPE and reflecting on his debut two decades ago. He even sat down at a café for a heartfelt conversation about the future of his career.

    In a candid moment, Rain shared his inner thoughts, expressing concerns about whether he's keeping up with the times or if it's time to consider winding down his career. He admitted to occasionally questioning if he's meeting the standards expected of a celebrity despite his hard work.

    The producers offered words of comfort, likening Rain's situation to that of Park Ji Sung, the famous Korean soccer player, who pushed himself to the limit during his prime. They suggested that Rain may be experiencing a similar feeling of slowing down after running at full speed for so long.

    When asked if he should follow in the footsteps of J.Y. Park and continue his activities, Rain humorously replied that he couldn't match J.Y. Park's passion, eliciting laughter from everyone.

    After watching the video, fans left supportive comments, encouraging Rain to keep working and expressing admiration for his talent and dedication. They wished him happiness and longevity in his career, reaffirming his status as one of the industry's top solo singers.
