Singer/actor Rain (real name Chung Ji-hoon), 23, made an appearance on CNN`s `Talk Asia` on Nov. 19 at 1 p.m. (Korean time). In his interview, Rain expressed his wish to advance to the global market following his successes in Hong Kong, Japan and China.

"My catchphrases are, 'Always be modest' and 'Be patient and do your best till the end,'" said Rain.

Hosted by Lorraine Hahn, who is also of Korean descent, "Talk Asia" has so far featured many prominent figures, including former President Kim Dae-jung, musicians Chung Myung-hoon and Cho Su-mi, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Chinese film director Zhang Yimou.

The interview with Rain was filmed on Nov. 9 when the singer was visiting Hong Kong to give a concert. The show will be rerun seven times in the entire Asian region beginning Nov. 21 at 12:30 p.m.
