![[ENG SUB] Rain Bi's 3 Stages of Anger (as told by Lee Joon)](/img/tr.png)
As a native English speaker, I have no trouble understanding Rain's English. I think he's doing a very good job. I'm trying to learn Korean now and I'm pretty much a failure. Thinking and speaking in another language is really difficult for a lot of people (like me), so I admire Rain's ability to communicate in English. I love hearing him talk.
That voice/accent, the hair, the face and smile...SCREAMING!!!!
I love the way he talks. I just love his hair long. All the movies he makes they are so good! his mom and dad did a good job!
yep, I'd be proud of Rain too if I were his parents lol :D
You did just that @ your dream
his english got so much better! i'm so proud! i love Rain. he's so honest and motivated. ^^
I am so proud of Rain. His English has improved SOOOOOOOO much.. he is really working hard. He understands every question asked by the interviewer... a couple years back, not much beyond "hello". I am very proud of him, and I know that he will get better and better... if he's ever in L.A. he should get an exchange partner such as....ME lol... I'm learning Korean, he's learning English...hahaha... perfect...
His English is pretty good, after all what do you expect from someone who didn't live in English speaking countries, I mean he's a singer and actor who's so busy in his career, the fact he managed to learn and speak English, Chinese and other languages for his fans is already pretty cool thing to do!
I love Rain!
Congrats to Rain who debuted in america!!! not too many korean guys have this opportunity! he's a rare of the bunch :D
His English accent is sooo soft! :O his voice is really soft and just, ahh! :)
It doesn't matter how good or bad his English is..what matter is he tried his best! He is very talented!
I admire his courage for speaking in english, he did a wonderful job!!! he's so cute!!
Rain is great dancer and singer! Really he is G O O D.! Congratulations ! (Nice nice)
He's so charming. He always makes me smile. And i just got so tickled listening to him speak English. I sat at my computer the whole time thinking, " yeah, yeah, you said it right, keep going, you are doing good." I think American's have the habit of criticizing without thinking about it the other way around. I know I don't speak Korean. It is a superiority complex we push onto the rest of the world. Like, "why should I learn their language?, they can just learn English..."
He is so cute oh my god. He's also a seriously underrated actor who has an aura of "coolness" and at the same time he is humble.
I heart Rain when he is himself speaking Korean. His English is definitely getting better and I'm so proud of him for trying his ultimate best. IDk what others say, its not easy to learn English as be as successful as him when you are in your 20's.
Rain is an incredible Asian entertainer regardless of how well he speaks English. He is still functional and understandable. Really, that is all that matters--being able to be understood. Try speaking his native language if you are a native English speaker.
i love this interveiw!!! rain was so kind and his english is getting better.... soon he will be able to talk with out pausing. I just happy that rain and i will be able to talk to each other. : )
I am impressed with his English considering there aren't many Korean actors who speak English. His pronunciation is pretty good for a Korean and his listening skill is awesome. He even articulates his thoughts well.
I'm an American and I enjoy his music even though I'm not fluent in Korean. I think Rain is cool. I also think his english is very good. Most Americans, who take it for granted just because it is our first language, don't realize how difficult English is to learn, so cut him some slack. I think he is doing a lot better than Jackie Chan did when he first came to America.
"i love my iPod" sjskjskssk he's so adorable
His accent is too cute. What's not to love about this man, he is talented; an amazing actor, can sing, dance....
Gosh, how can you not find that accent absolutely adorable! His little funny ways of saying things, especially iPod, made me giggle and melt! He's sooo cute.
I am blushing lik CRAZY. Im a very strange girl and him speaking english is making me WAY more excited than it should. I had to pause 6 times so i could breath
Rain's smile is fascinating. He's just....so cute and he looks so kind and sweet. Makes you want to hug him.
RAIN is an intelligent man. He works hard on everything he does. His english is good, considering the little time it took him to speak english and comprehend it too! RAIN, you keep on doing your thing!!
Wow and this guy is now having a marriage life with the most beautiful Korean actress
I'm so proud of Rain's English. I know a tiny amount of Korean and it's nothing like English. He did a great job.
He is extremely handsome.
Rain has come along way with his English. But, here he did a beautiful job and the most important thing is that he tried. Many people wouldn't. That's impressive!!
The way he uses "you know" and "yeah" in his sentences,, I'm just the same. I use them to buy time and utter the rest of my sentence. That's pretty natural for people who are learning English and don't live in an English speaking country.
Rain is the most important ambassador for Korea. Surely, I'm not the only one who has become interested in Korean culture, traditions, food, etc. because of him. He's a national treasure.
And for those criticizing his English, STFU. He has accomplished more in his 28yrs that you will in a lifetime. For that matter, can any of you can actually speak a second language?...DIDN'T THINK SO!!!
He is sooooooooooo GORGEOUS!!!!!!
I didn't know who he was until I saw Ninja Assassin. Now can't get enough of him! Once you realize how wonderful, talented, and hot this man is, there's no turning back ;-)
Aww I really liked this interview!
He just seemed to sweet
And as long as I could clearly understand his english (which I did) I had nor have any problem with it
Everytime I see a new video of Rain speaking English, I can definitely hear an improvment. Honestly his grammar and pronounciation are great; I understood every word he said, and to be honest his accent doesn't really bother me, I think it's cute :-) English really is a hard language to learn but I think with more practice he'll be fluent in no time. In his 2010 drama 'Fugitive: Plan B' he had a handful of English lines, he spoke with a West Coast/California accent, very cute haha
i think his english is adorable, its really hard to learn english for them and hes older its hard to learn languages when you are older especially one thats nothing at all like your own so i think his english is very very impressive and the way he pronounces things is sooo cute
simple words... i love you just the way you are RAIN., yeah nobody`s perfect but you are admirable...in and out. clouds know you best. that`s all
He is so god damned cute... He tried his best to sound good at english. He is best and an idol in South Korea, but he didn't stop at that, he wants to make a mark in the world. Way to go Rain!! Love ya!
Eeeeeek, his adorableness is too much to handle! Love him!
He said "you know?" a lot. LOL.
His English is pretty good, gotta love that accent! I remember watching a TV show years ago where he was asked an English question and he answered in a very broken English. Look how far he's come.
I'm an Asian too (not a Korean tho) but I am so proud of him.
He's "Perfect" and "Amazing". Loooooooove the long hair.
He really does seem like a good guy. He likes what he does but isn't so caught up in it that he's lost himself. And his english is pretty adorable.
Hes gotten a lot better with his accent. Love you Rain!
Rain interviews are always very sincere and honest. Well spoken English. Rain is coming to Washington DC on May 8th he is currently in the ROK army and will be at the World Peace Festival (private) event representing his country commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War. TIME - Please do a cover story
OMG! I love Rain, I kept awing throughout this whole video. He is so cute! I love his personality, and the way he speaks and holds himself. Rain FIGHTING~! :DD~!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
The way he says "Yeah" is driving me CRAZy i am copletly freakin out he is so HOT
I LOVE HIS VOICE
I'm so envious of him. I would like to learn Korean, but I don't think I'd be half as good as Bi Rain speaking English, gah. I'm so proud of him!
his personality is amazing, his heart is really sweet
I'm actually pretty impressed with his english. It's definitely not perfect but he can perfectly understand it and his accent is very tolerable. Huge improvement from a few years ago, I guess his reputation of having great work ethics is true
omg no, he's so so so cute🥺🥺🥺🥺
Everything about this man is perfect.
Rain's english has improved a lot!!!!! I am still proud of him , i told him so on his profile on imeem! I am even more proud of him!
Good job Rain... I mean, with all the projects his working on, it must be hard for him to squeeze learning English in his busy schedule, so thumbs up for him..And let's see maybe given more time he'll become better at it..
He is so adorable, great singer and actor, love his accent.
Oh and another thing! His voice definitely sounds lighter and more high pitched when he speaks English lol But then again in the 'Ninja Assassin' movie his voice was deep and husky, like it is when he speaks Korean. Not that it's a bad thing, just making an observation. I also liked this interviewer better than the other ones who were too 'wordy' with their questions or just kept firing questions one after the other like bullets X-/ I mean I know Rain's amazing but damn, cut him some slack!
the way he speaks english is kinda funny, but in the movies is like sexy accent, PERFECT :P 'OKAY', 'OKAY' LOL he is SOOO CUTE!
hahah love how he kinda has to try his best speaking english and how he says yeah after answering every question xP, go go rain !!
Rain!! so cute.love from in uruguay
well, when you're more fluent in such language and when you hear other people with a thicker accent speaking it you think it's horrible. i still love him!! he makes up for it with his dance moves!!! and of course the pretty face and the hot body in ninja assassin.
think he is doing a great job! Its not easy for him, I admire his ambition
That hair omg 😱 he is so handsome
soo many people complain about his english..I think it´s Frikkin CUTE!!!!!
I completely agree with you about the speech fillers~ Sometimes I feel like I'm hearing them say "Um" or "Like" more than their actual sentences. Once in my bio class, during lunch, my teacher suddenly sprang from his seat and yelled "get out of my room!!" because a girl had literally said 30 likes in about 1 minute.
@ 3:32 he looks at her as if 2 say, "c'mon let us leave this place and make love". It's so suave. im seeing stars when i see this man. * _ *
heehee he sounds soo cute
aww, yay for Rain =) You know, it's easy for English speaking people (and me included) to watch this and laugh at his attempts, or get annoyed by his "you know, yeah" fillers, but come on. English and Korean are TOTALLY different, and both have odd, illogical rules and tricky aspects, and the structure and pronunciation. I say, give him props for learning this much, AND doing his other activities. It takes a lot of work, so I wish him the best! :D
awwww hes so sweet adn his accents adoriable i love him i wanna be mrs. right!!!
for some reason he makes me think of Donghae of Super Junior with his long hair he seems so sweet : )
Did he say "Nat King Cole"..? props!! for that alone the guy is awesome!
OMG! His English is coming along so well! Soon we'll be able to understand each other. He's totally going to be mine someday.
he sounds so nervous! gahh oh gosh i love him ♥
Yes. I know. But considering his busy schedule- conserts, interviews,filming movies & making music. He is doing pretty good with the"in between" time learning English.Plus, his language is a deep contrast to English so that makes it a little more difficult.
his english is getting better. Sometime I feel he need break, he work too hard. He still young and enjoy life.
Love him.
Yes, I agree that he speak not well. But I think it getting better soon. He is a Korean. Only this that okay for first step.
I LOVE HIM.
fighting,
The love of my life!
I love Rain!!! :)
yeaaaah you know, it's amazing^^
I agree.. I don't think that in this day in age, 2009, ppl should even focus on such pity things as accents. He's being considerate and he's determined.. This interview is MORE personal and connecting because he did it in English! He was awesome in Speed Racer, and he's going to kick ass in "Ninja Assassin"
Maybe he wasn't meant to bring music to America, maybe his destiny is to be on the Big Screen?? Either way, signing/dancing/acting in English or Korean, he is amazing and true to himself!!
omg its mister hottie from ninja assassin!! i knew i recognized him from somewhere!!! lol i love him!!!
Hahaha, this interview is adorable. You can tell he has worked very hard on his English! :3
I love this interview so much more than all the interviews he did when he was promoting Ninja Assassin. With the Ninja Assassin interviews you can tell that he was always going by this memorized script. Idk if anyone understands what I'm talking about but at least with this interview he seems way more at ease and more like his real self
LOL, when he finishes talking, he always ends it with "Yeah" and than he nods
I love his accent, but I just love accents and it's amazing to listen to the words we use everyday spoken so differently. So I always enjoy it, and even though I can't understand any of his Korean songs (save for the feelings they give me) I still LOVE his music! Wonder if I can buy any of his CDs over here.
Does anyone know?
"you know? yeah"
iloveyourain

He's a VERY HANDSOME MAN!
he is soo cute!
omg shooo cute hahaha love his english

He's got a really nice personality.

I was so happy watching this video i convulsed...
He was very handsome at that time ♡
rain bi ur english getting better! hwaiting~
i love him talking in english - he's so cute
I am with you... I have been studying Korean for 2 years and still cant put a full sentence together. The sentence structure, the social structure and pronunciations are so completely different from English. He should be congratulated on his efforts....besides he is soooooo cute... who cares about syntax and phonics anyway....
His english has grown since 'Full House'.
Amazing, Rain. Simply amazing.
OMg He's so cuuute
wow!! his english has gotten SO good!!!
Good for him!!

^_^
Oh my god
