Rain Shares How Much Money He Spent to Produce Ciipher
On the May 9 episode of the tvN television show "Take Good Care of My Week," Rain made a guest appearance together with Ciipher member TAN.
During the broadcast, Rain said, "I came with TAN today, because I thought you guys might need some help in cooking."
In response to this, the show hosts asked TAN what he can cook, to which the male idol answered, "Well, I recently learned how to fry an egg." This caused everyone to laugh.

Sung Dong-il then changed the topic by asking Rain about the money he used in producing Ciipher. He asked, "Hey, Rain. How much did you invest on him and the group?"
While Rain didn't give an exact amount, he responded, "I probably could have bought a house with that money." He jokingly added, "Sometimes, I wonder why I debuted these guys as well."
Rain Company's founder further said, "But no, I'm certain that TAN will become big one day though. I can totally see it coming. He'll garner popularity in like two years. I guarantee that."
He went on, "In like two to three years, everyone will be like, 'That's TAN from the show years ago?!' That day will arrive for sure."
