Rain reflects on his first meeting with now-wife Kim Tae-hee
Singer Rain recently shared how he knew he wanted to marry actor Kim Tae-hee at their first meeting despite not being each other's ideal type.
Rain appeared on the web variety show "Jo Hyun-ah's Thursday Night," which aired on Thursday. During the show, Jo said, "There's a saying: 'Earn 10 billion won' or 'Marry Kim Tae-hee.' But you did both."
Rain described himself as someone who never considered marriage, saying, "I originally had no intention of marrying anyone. The moment I saw my wife, I felt a fateful connection, like something out of a movie. We weren't each other's ideal type."
Rain said they met while filming a commercial. "She was very polite, greeting everyone with 'Hello.' Her voice kept drawing my attention. Even when she was far away, adjusting her makeup, I could hear her voice."
He added with a laugh, "The catering service arrived on the set, and while I was getting some food, I suddenly heard her voice next to me. I looked and saw her also getting food. I was surprised by how much she was taking, almost twice as much as me. She was piling up beef, braised short ribs and all sorts of food."
However, there was a twist. Kim Tae-hee was actually getting the plate for her manager. Rain confessed, "I thought, 'This woman is a sign from above, giving me one last chance. I want to marry her. I felt like I could give up my whole self for her.'"
Jo then asked Rain to recommend a man for her. Rain humorously replied, "Don't date anyone," eliciting laughter.
He quickly added, "It's a flawed comparison. Do you know how hard I worked? The more you try to find someone, the harder it gets. Let go. Stop trying to find love."
He continued, "If you focus on building relationships, at some point, you'll meet someone and think, 'I can give my all to this person.' And that person will love you completely. They say love without calculating anything, but I think differently. You need to see someone's deepest flaws and love them for it. That's how love lasts long. Find someone you truly like. That's the answer."
