The 42-year-old singer and actor, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has appeared in a string of Korean dramas including Full House (2004) and this year’s Red Swan.

He took to the stage at the event’s opening ceremony and delivered a series of his hits, including “It’s Raining”, “La Song” and “Hip Song”.

His fans loved every second. “He is such a great person that he is a star shining on the stage,” said Cindy Leung, 30. “Everything about the performance is strong. As a long-time fan of Rain, I enjoy this a lot.”
