Rain holds his first fan meeting since his discharge from the army

The event, which took place at Kyunghee University on October 12, was hosted by his longtime friend and comedian Yoon Jung Soo, who also hosted his fan meeting in 2005.

"In the midst of my training life, I'm building a lot of good experiences like reading or watching movies," he said to the assembled crowd. "I want to do a type of concert where I can interact directly with my fans, beginning with my concert in Japan."

"Everything was possible due to my trusting fans who support me in everything," he continued. "I'm always thankful."

Rain also performed a string of his top hits, including "Rainism", "Fresh Woman", and "Friends".�

"I'm planning songs and stages with many strong points," he teased. "I want to show everyone what I'm good at, but I also want to show something new. But I certainly want to show something that will appeal not only in Korea, but throughout the world."
