RAIN made a name for himself in both the music and acting industry, making him one of the most talented and sought-after stars in Hallyu. 

He debuted in 1998 as a member of a boy band named Fanclub at the age of 16. Unfortunately, after releasing two albums, Fanclub failed to be commercially successful, leading RAIN to go solo and land as a trainee for JYP Entertainment. 

Before gaining massive success both locally and internationally, RAIN once spoke about his challenges starting out in the industry.

During his interview with Discovery Channel, he revealed that he got rejected multiple times because of his looks. 

Who would have thought that the Hallyu star that millions of people admire endured rejection during his early days as a performer? 

"I remember going to auditions before my debut and I was rejected twelve times!" he said, as obtained by CNN.

He continued by saying that the reason why agencies did not like him is because of how he looked. 

"I was rejected because my face was too ugly. I was even told to come back after cosmetic surgery" he said. 

Because of his persistence and talent, RAIN managed to become a top-notch singer, dancer, actor, and entrepreneur after launching his own talent agency in 2015, R.A.I.N. Company.
