Rain spilled the beans about his recent comeback in the May issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Rain said about his new concept for Love Song, "You'll notice that I mostly got rid of big and fancy accessories. That's because I wanted to focus on myself. The album title Back to the Basic is about that too. I wanted to go back to the beginning." He continued, "And the choreography where I go shirtless is not about being macho. It's more about portraying a faithful and real heart and mind." When asked whether or not his past break-ups help him put emotion in his songs, he answered, "People ask me if I've ever been dumped by a girl. It's hard to think that you've broken up with someone. When someone who would smile right next to me disappears, that pain becomes the story of my songs." When asked about the album concept, he said, "I'm not different from the me during my rookie days and the person I am now. I still am thankful for the people who don't forget who I am and I always want to be closer to my fans. And to think that people are looking up to me as a mentor means so much to me. It's really interesting and I feel responsible. That's why I work so hard and give everything my all." He is planning on being in a Korean drama in September or October of this year. He is also looking to release a full album by the end of the year. What a busy 2010 he has planned for himself! You can find out more about this interview in the May issue of Cosmopolitan.
