When Rain first released "Rain Effect," his comeback album after serving two years of military duty, he was asked which of his songs was dedicated to his girlfriend actress Kim Tae Hee. Had she heard the hit songs "30 Sexy" and "La Song" before they were released? He said that she had not heard them, as he prefers to keep his love and work life separate.
"I don't want to mix love and work," said Rain. "I don't let her listen to my songs before they are released. Even my own family doesn't get to listen to my songs that early."
He would not say whether he had dedicated a song to her but the latest edition of his album includes a new track, a romantic song titled "I Love You." Rain's "I Love You" lyrics are all about a man falling in love. And some say it sounds like a proposal.
The singer acknowledges that he thought of Kim Tae Hee while writing the song but recently said that they have no wedding plans. They are just happy to spend time together when they can, given their busy schedules.
It has been a little more than a year since the couple admitted they were dating and at that time said they had been seeing each other for about a month.
The actors met while filming a commercial together. Although Rain was in the army when they began to date, they met whenever he could take time off from his military duties. He was released from the army in July of 2013 and now they try to see each other as often as possible. But he has had to spend a lot of time traveling.
Rain recently traveled to the U.S. to film "The Prince" in New Orleans with co-star Bruce Willis. The singer- actor also went to Los Angeles to talk to American producers about future roles in Hollywood films. Rumors claim the two have been seen together in Los Angeles, where Kim Tae Hee is said to have also traveled for business.
Kim Tae Hee, who was last seen in the drama "Jang Ok Jung," has been described as the most beautiful woman in Korea. But according to Rain, his girlfriend is not just beautiful. She is someone he can rely on and trust. And the relationship is stronger than ever.
The latest edition of the album will also feature a "30 Sexy Remix" along with a booklet. It is available online on Feb. 7 and in stores on Feb. 11. Check it out and let us know if you think there are wedding bells in the future for these two actors.
