Pomeranian was a gift from one of my fans, and I later found he was a mongrel. (laughter)
And, since Baekgu didn’t want to eat anything quite a while, I fed him to Dogani soup as health food by getting him to drink with a straw. He was noisily sucking up the soup through a straw (laughter). It’s incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it (laughter).

0:35~1:58
[Lee Dae Hwa] : I think you two click really better than last time I saw you. (laughter)
[Rain] : We don’t have to be attuned to each other because I rank above KCM (laughter). As time goes on, we aren’t agreeing in tone. (laughter)
[Lee Dae Hwa] : You two look so good together. I’ve been OK over the past week. I heard you received guerrilla training last week.
[Rain] : After receiving guerrilla training, we’ve become better friends with each other (laughter). Actually, I’m on friendly terms with him, so please don’t misunderstand me (laughter).
[Rain] How have you been? (to ‘Lee Dae Hwa’)

[KCM]: I think we should fulfill military duty to let people enjoy culture.
[Rain]: So what do you expect me to do? (laughter)
3:18~
- Lee Dae Hwa introducing new albums -
‘Good Boy’, a song from ‘Baeck Ji Young’s new album, is popular these days, and pop group Beast’s member ‘Yong Jun Hyung’ participated in this song as a rapper. The lyrics from the single album are saying that for an older woman, dating a younger man can be exciting and feel younger, but she has him in her pocket.
5:22~5:49
[Rain] : I like such things (laughter), so I like women who are older than I because I can depend on them.
[Lee Dae Hwa] : Such a thing does not consort well with your six pack. (It ill befits you to do) (laughter)
[Rain] : No need to have a six pack. (laughter) I love to be well taken care of. (laughter) Just kidding..(I might also appear self-centered), but I really am not.
[KCM] : He (Rain) is right. (laughter)
5:51~6:50
[Lee Dae Hwa] : Many of the current younger generation use a lot of slangs we don’t know. For example, there is “Hur” (with a similar meaning, “Oops”).
The term is in the lyrics.
[Rain] : The term drew unwelcome attention at first, but I think I’ve been easily assimilating into such a culture. Even my father uses the term, “Hur”
- When I answered, “No, I still haven’t had dinner.” when my father asked me, “I had dinner. How about you?”, he responded as, “Hur!” (laughter)
6:51~10:09
[Lee Dae Hwa] : Pop group Leessang’s member ‘Gary’ participated in the other song, “Voice”, as a rapper.
I think ‘Baeck Ji Young’ knew that the trend of dance music world rush to Korea, and she tried to change her image. Good Boy is a dance and electronic music.

I think it is surely undeniable.
11:03~
[Lee Dae Hwa] : Pop group INFINITE’s new album ‘Chaser’
The title song from the album has a simple, retro-style melody. Plus, the new album contains various genres including ballads, modern rock and hip-hop.
13:01~13:52
[Rain]: The current lyrics contain a more direct conversational style than ever.
[KCM]: There are so many provocative remarks these days.
13:53~
[Rain] : I’ve put a title “I’m drinking because of you” on my next song. (laughter)
[KCM]: If the lyrics contains the term, “drink (alcohol)”, your song may be banned from public TV networks. (laughter)
[Rain]: I am not saying I should drink. (laughter) Excessive drinking is bad for your health. (laughter)
[Lee Dae Hwa] : I think you two maintain strong friendships. (laughter)
[KCM] ; Right, we’re staying close friends.
[Rain] : But, I know we are no longer together after leaving the army. (laughter)

[KCM] : I have my own plans as well.
[Rain] : Who are you going to sing duet with?
[KCM] : I’m going to dance with ‘Jung Ji Hoon’ (Rain). (laughter)
[Rain] : Are you crazy? (laughter)
[KCM] : I’ll do it. (laughter)
2:07~2:36
[Rain] : Actually. KCM was a B-boy, and he’s a big man but very light on his feet. (laughter) To say nothing of singing, he is good at dancing.
[KCM] : Please don’t make me blush. (laughter)
2:38~3:13
[Rain] : Listener “Terri”s comment, “Will the song, ‘I’m leaving the army’, be released?”

His new album is based on guitar music, and he’s created his own style in the album. His music has become a lot more sophisticated. He had a performance in Korea not long ago, and he is a socially conscious singer.
9:39~10:11
[Rain] : I was moved by Santana’s song, ‘Maria Maria’ released in 1997.
His guitar playing skill was beyond human power, and it is born and bred.
11:30~
[Rain] & [KCM] : Thank you very much for coming in and we’ll see you again next month.
12:00~

4;41~4:53 (to Kim Jae Wook)
[Rain] : Do you (Kim Jae Wook) have an appointment? You speak too fast.
[KCM] : Are you speaking with a motor in your mouth? (laughter)

5:07~7:23
[Rain]: What did you think of the film?
[Kim Jae Wook]: As I saw it three times, it was a very interesting film.

If I get a chance, I want to work with director ‘Kar-wai Wong’ or movie ‘Beat’s director ‘Kim Sung Soo’.

One and two were great, and three was a bummer.
[Kim Jae Wook] : I haven’t seen the three yet.
[Rain] : You (Kim Jae Wook) ought to see the three although it is a bummer because it is a “must-see” for ‘Tony Leung’s fans.
[Kim Jae Wook] : I’ll see it.
[KCM] : I’ll see it, too.
[Rain] : You (KCM) always interrupt people all the time! (laughter)
3:34~5:22
[KCM] : I saw movie Red Cliff starring ‘Tony Leung’.
[Rain] : I thought the film wasn’t much good.
[KCM] : So did I.
[KCM] : How about “Lust, Caution”?
[Rain] : Actually, I received an offer to star in “Lust, Caution” through my agent in USA, so I nearly played a leading role in the movie, but the film wasn’t to my taste. If I appeared in the movie, you could see my naked hip.
[Kim Jae Wook] : If so, you would have acted in Chinese.
[Rain] : I can tackle any role with ease if a script is given or if I command high salaries.

[KCM] : To Ba Bu Pae (laughter)
7;19~7:30
[Rain] : When something good comes to me in a flash of inspiration, I take the plunge, and the song created in the process can’t fail to be a hit. So, when I relax, things will be fine.
[KCM]: Things can easily go wrong when people are under stress.
[Rain] : The next is (laughter)
8:12~8:21

[KCM] ; I watched all the movies starring Jackie Chan. For example, Police Academy, etc.
[Kim Jae Wook] : It’s Police Story, not Police Academy. (laughter)
[Rain] : Police Academy is an American film. (laughter)
[KCM] ; Sorry.
[Rain]: I like Maggie Cheung (張曼玉), Gong Li (巩俐), etc.
[KCM] ; I like Chingmy Yau (邱淑貞) from Hong Kong. (laughter)

[Rain] : Kim Jae Wook, thank you very much for coming here.
============================================================
[Part 6]
1:11~1:33
[Rain]: I enjoy chatting with my friend over a coffee. When I tell singer ‘Kim Tae Woo’, “Let’s meet for a cup of coffee”, he refuses my proposal.” I regret that he isn’t romantic.
[KCM] ; He has a weakness for liquor.
[Rain]: He wastes money on drinking alcohol.
2:08~3:00
[Rain] : Listener “#3405″s comment, “I found money in my desk drawer.”
Please give me the money.
[KCM] : When I’m too tired to wake up in the morning, I wake myself up, saying to myself, “Wake up! wake up!”
[Rain] : Are you a psychopath ? (laughter)
I spring out of bed in the morning to keep my faith with my fans, staffs, etc. (laughter) Do you think I’m really nauseating? (laughter)
3:10~3:30
[Rain]: I think we should host this show, seven days a week (because it is very popular these days).
[KCM] : I’ll go ahead and set it up, then.
[Rain] : Please don’t do that! (laughter)
3:41~3:47
