This page is quite messy, and more info would be nice. Although it is hard to translate Korean or another language, more about his works would also be nice to see! :)

[edit] Fixes

I did some minor fixes, added a section called 'Name' and pasted some of biography to that section. Still, this page needs a LOT of cleaning up.

[edit] Neutrality Despute

I added a npov warning on the main page.

[edit] Wow! A mess!

This article reads like the end result of one foreigner's afternoon with the AltaVista Babelfish translator. I tried. I really, really tried to help. But sentences like "Rain discovered his passion for dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade" have convinced me that this article is just doomed.

[edit] What a mess!

I'm halfway through cleaning up the biography, but that's just to remove the superlatives and for readability. A little organisation could go a long way with this page...

[edit] True.

Yeah. I come to clean it time to time, but there are so many to fix. One of the biggest problem is Rain is largely Asian based and you can't get that many English citations.

[edit] Rain's Scandal?

There isn't a source.

[edit] Cleanup

People have cleaned this up, which is surprising, but appreciated. However, two things. First, as his stage name is Rain, and as he is popularly known by that term, he should be referenced as "Rain" in the article. Right now, he's mentioned by his full name in the article. Second, that news section either has to be integrated or deleted, cuz it's just too large and trivial at this point. I'll start the naming... SKS2K6 19:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit:Sorry, I have to add this: there are NO REFERENCES anywhere in the article. And there are many points where references are needed, from his supposedly fast ticket sales to his desire for dance to his duets.... The only fact that is partially referenced is his 3rd album sales numbers, which needs a direct reference. SKS2K6 19:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Heya, I went through the other day and re-organised the page, deleted some useless stuff, and added in references. I think there should be a better way to organise the different spellings of his name, though. Oncamera 03:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
