Rain Makes a Bold Comeback with R&B Track ‘FEEL IT’ After Transforming into a Villain for ‘Bloodhounds 2’

The “King of K-Pop,” Rain, is making a high-impact return to the spotlight, balancing a gritty acting transformation with a refreshing musical pivot. Appearing on the May 11 broadcast of the trending SBS variety show But Seriously!, Rain displayed his legendary wit by delivering a series of comedic “diss” remarks toward veteran entertainer Tak Jae-hoon, while simultaneously sharing insights into his upcoming projects.

From Villainous Boxing to R&B Vibes

During the recording, Rain surprised the cast by discussing his recent participation in the highly anticipated Netflix series ‘Bloodhounds 2‘. Proving his dedication to the craft, Rain revealed that he accepted the role of a villain without even reading the script. “I poured my entire soul into boxing training for six months to prepare for this role,” he stated, signaling a departure from his usual heroic personas.

However, the primary reason for his appearance was the launch of his new single, “FEEL IT,” which drops on May 11. The track marks a significant milestone in his career as his first foray into the lighthearted R&B Pop genre. Moving away from his trademark high-intensity, stage-dominating performances, Rain aims to provide “warm and joyful comfort” to a modern audience through a more relaxed and approachable musical style.

The Legend Meets His Successor: Rain and Kai

The episode also featured a heartwarming moment between generations of dance icons. EXO’s Kai, a regular on the show, confessed that Rain has been his primary role model since elementary school. Rain reciprocated the admiration with high praise, stating, “I truly believe the junior who dances the best in this industry is Kai.”

The “Tak-Ddugi” Incident: Rain’s Savage Wit

The highlight of the episode was Rain’s hilarious banter with Tak Jae-hoon. When Tak claimed he “always knew Rain would be successful,” Rain immediately called him out for the white lie. “That’s not true! In the past, you asked me, ‘Is there actually anything you even know how to do?'” Rain retorted.

Rain further amused the set by revealing his nickname for Tak: ‘Tak-Ddugi’ (a play on ‘Ottogi,’ a roly-poly toy). “He is a hyung who reaches the top, falls to the rock bottom, but then pops back up like a toy,” Rain explained. He ended the segment with a savage “stone-straight” comment that brought the house down: “All the juniors look at Jae-hoon hyung and resolve to themselves, ‘I definitely shouldn’t live my life like him.'”
