Singer/actor Rain (real name Chung Ji-hoon) has chosen his next role in a television series. He will play `Kang Bok-ku` in a new Monday-Tuesday KBS TV2 series that is to premiere in early November. It will be Rain`s third collaboration with KBS following his previous lead roles in `Let`s Go, Sangdoo` and `Full House.`

The new series is another work by scriptwriter Lee Kyung-hee, who also wrote the popular KBS series `Sorry, I Love You` and Rain`s debut series `Let`s Go, Sangdoo` (2003). The series is being produced by Kim Kyu-tae, who recently received much acclaim for the Drama City production `Blue Nights on Jeju Island.`

Rain`s new character, Kang Bok-ku, is a martial artist with a strong personality, who falls in love with a woman he should not love, but challenges fate for the sake of the relationship.

Rain was set to make a comeback as an actor earlier this year by starring in the series `Evil Love,` but the production was cancelled.
