[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Rain spoke about the 'Kkang' syndrome and shared his wife Kim Tae-hee's reaction.


On the 16th, MBC's 'How Do You Play?' aired an episode where Yoo Jae-suk met with Rain along with Hwang Kwang-hee and Henry to form a co-ed group.


In the broadcast, Rain celebrated the 'Kkang' music video surpassing 7 million views and laughed, saying, "I wonder why it suddenly became a hot topic."


He credited all of this to the 'Kkangfam.' He expressed some disappointment, saying, "What is '1 Kkang a day'? You should be doing about 3 Kkang a day."


Rain explained the reason 'Kkang' became a hot topic by saying, "I think people these days found the dance interesting. In the past, dance singers had to break the stage. But now, people think dancing while looking at the camera like that is cheesy. Even dancing too well is considered cheesy." He mentioned that he only realized this trend after releasing 'Kkang.'


Rain laughed, saying that the comments these days are funnier than most variety shows. He said, "I saw a fan who did up to 12 Kkang a day. That's really amazing."


Also, while reading the '20 Proposals' written by a longtime fan, he proposed a negotiation to the fans, saying, "I can't give up the flashy lights. The playful expressions naturally come out to match the mood and lyrics of the song."



Especially, Rain shared that his wife Kim Tae-hee also enjoys 'Kkang,' saying, "My wife knows about the 'Kkang' craze. She said she likes it. She said the same as me, 'It's so good. It's fun.' We are doing '1 Kkang a day' together."
