He said about that through one interview. "I had loved so much Park, Chan-Wook's movie. Also a character & a scenario were unique. I thought that I could learn more than the debut in a splendid role or a blockbuster film. I conversed with Park, Chan-Wook about this and that while drinking. But I have in mind a large scale work next time." |

| “When I get really depressed, I go out and play soccer or kickball (a Korea-originated ball game) with staffs. Also, celebrities like us have difficulties to have friends to talk our private lives. Once you talk something to somebody, that might make the headlines next day and it’s very embarrassing. Luckily, I have many reliable friends to talk to.” says Rain. |

Director Park said that he had in his mind that if Rain could not afford to sing a yodel, he would borrow the yodel specialist's voice to dub it. But at the time of dubbing the movie, he was very surprised because Rain sang a yodel like a specialist. Rain said that "I didn't know how difficult to sing a yodel before I tried to learn it, so I became to respect a yodel singers." He revealed that he had learned how to sing a yodel from a yodel specialist, Yongryul Seo, for 2 months. He difficultly changed his way of making a sound, and repeated to sing it during taking a movie and even during eating and taking a shower. He practiced singing it hardly, so he was very pleased when the reponse to his singing was so good. |

Rain said that these days he is working with keeping it in his mind. |
