　　If you ask about the hottest star in South Korea this year, you will certainly hear the name Rain．The 22-year-old singer is powerful and energetic on stage．His dances and voice are great! On December 18, Rain and other Korean stars, including Baby V, O, X and As One, amazed their fans at the concert “Night of Love” in Beijing．“I love his small eyes and good build(体格),” Said Hanna Kim, 12, a Korean girl who studies in China, “He's a nice person．”

　　Rain's real name is Jung Ji Hoon(郑智薰)．His music teacher thinks his eyes are wet and smiles are sunny．He wrote lots of the songs on his first CD during rainy days．So his teacher gave him the name Rain．

　　When he was a child, he liked to be quiet．He wasn't good at studying．So no one noticed this tall boy in class．But he surprised his classmates in Grade Six．He danced for them all．Everyone looked at him in a different way．So he began to dance more．“I enjoy dancing,” he said．Rain really wanted to sing and dance．He worked hard at school, so that his father would let him dance．He gave up rugby(橄榄球) and put all his time and energy into dancing．When his mother died four years ago, he held the sadness in and kept on practising day and night．

　　Now Rain has won awards with his music．His CDs have sold millions and he has acted in TV shows．Rain doesn't want to sing forever, though．He dreams of doing a different job．“When I stop singing, I'd like to design clothes．Being a designer is my childhood(童年) dream,” he said．
