Rain Shares He Had Trauma Following Appearance on MBC's 'Radio Star' in the Past
On the May 11 episode of the MBC entertainment show "Radio Star," Rain appeared as a guest alongside VIXX Ravi, Lee Jung, and Jung Hoyoung.
During the talk, the show hosts mentioned Rain's popular work from the past - "When Are You Going, Oppa," which is a song that Rain made and features female soloist HyunA.
The track did not garner much attention at the time of its release, but many people recently began listening to it after it was discovered that it contains unique and funny lyrics.

Show host Kim Gura then asked Rain about what his wife Kim Taehee said about the track. He replied that Kim doesn't interfere in his work in any way.
As the discussion continued, Rain brought up his trauma about MBC's "Radio Star," surprising everyone in the studio. He revealed that he filmed an episode for eight hours but only had a few minutes of appearance when the program aired.

Rain said, "In the past, I said I wouldn't appear here, but still I guested and filmed for around eight hours. However, at that time, Kim Yu-na appeared on 'The Knee-Drop Guru' and I only had five minutes of appearance when 'Radio Star' went on air."
"The Knee-Drop Guru" was a segment of "Golden Fishery" that aired ahead of "Radio Star," the second segment of the same program.
Rain finally said, "I have no regrets [in appearing on the show], but I have trauma."
MBC's "Radio Star" is a talk show hosted by Kim Gook-jin, Kim Gura, Ahn Young-mi, and Yoo Se-yoon. It airs every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. KST.
