The JYP Entertainment CEO held his 'Bad Party - Halftime Show' concert on December 20 at Seoul's Olympic Park, where he revealed that former JYPE artist Rain was like "a lion about to starve to death" when they first met.
Before singing "Instead of Saying Goodbye", J.Y. Park said, "A hyung I knew asked me to see an audition. He said it was someone who was rejected by 16 labels. When [Rain] walked in the door, he was like a lion that was about to starve to death."
He explained, "Though he looked tired and like he was going through a rough time, he had a lion in his eyes. He was full of pride and dreams. Though he wanted to be a singer, his pride didn't allow him to beg for it."
J.Y. Park's 'Bad Party' concert has been going on since 2007, and this year marked his 19th anniversary as a singer. As for Rain, he's currently preparing for his comeback as well as starring in his reality show 'Rain Effect'.
