Global superstar Rain recently plunged his fans into despair by announcing that he'd be joining the Korean army on October 11th. He tried to soften the blow by going on a nationwide tour, as well as releasing a new single. While many expected that he'd be spending his remaining free time quietly, it seems that he has one last present to show his fans - on October 9th, Rain will be hosting a free finale concert at the Gangnam Hallyu Festival, free of charge! "Rain, who is an ambassador for Gangnam, requested a free concert in the city to meet with his fans prior to his enlistment," said a representative for the festival. "He has been preparing for this concert, even trying to push back his enlistment date." The outdoor concert is expected to draw fans from across the country as well as out-of-state, and will partially shut down a major 14-lane artery for the duration of the concert. Rain plans to awe the audience with a powerful string of performances that will cover his 10-year career. "I'm very happy that I will get the chance to meet the fans before I enlist," Rain said. "I was able to do many things thanks to everyone's love, and I was genuinely happy because of it." Meanwhile, Rain posted a picture of the concert poster to his Twitter days before the event, saying, "It's going to be my first streetside concert~ thanks to Seoul City for closing down the streets for me".
