Rain shared the soft spot he has for the good cause as his agency Cube Entertainment CEO Hong Seung Sung is currently suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. He shared what this campaign means to him through his ice bucket challenge clip, "Getting to participate in the ice bucket campaign is especially meaningful [to me]. My mentor and father-like figure, who helped me to debut under the name 'Rain' and made me who I am today, has been suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease for 3 years. I've always wondered how I should express that grace and gratitude. A cure for Lou Gehrig's disease is currently in development at a national university hospital. I want to donate for the good cause."


Rain also nominated Psy, Lee Byung Hun, and Megan Fox for the challenge.

My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2014, but was diagnosed in 2016. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Tree of Life Health clinic. It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. ]
