Never sign with a company that is run by another artist that is also active.

I’m a kpop fan and I don’t hate him but then again the only thing I know him for is WHEN I WAKE UP IN MA ROOM

[goldenhourss]

y’all can’t understand how iconic mblaq were. they only had bops and their appeareances in variety shows was so funny lool infeel like a granny i miss them

[VilVil-ps]

There is no hate to rain but more a disappointment. if you wanted to focus on your career don't make something when you know it's not going to last because of your needs. there is nothing wrong wanted to do things for yourself but putting people in your ways so you can be the center of attention is no.

This video is perfectly timed! I was at Kcon LA 2023 and I was so confused when RAIN got no love. There was very little cheering and dancing. Most people actually sat for his set. It wasn’t till after Kcon I found out that he was black waved. I was a big fan of MBLAQ but I had no idea they were under RAIN. I always wondered what happened to MBLAQ and this explains everything well. I respect RAIN as being an OG in the Kpop community and that he inspired many idols but I can see why everyone is upset with him.

The problem with Rain is that HE still wants to be famous. He cannot sit in the background and let his artists shine. He NEEDS to also be the FACE and be putting music out there. He cannot simply focus on the group but he is still focusing on making himself famous out there.

[peacelife]

A good artist doesnt mean one can be good at management of other especially in idol group. I feel so bad for Mblaq and all the other groups

[xmochilove]

Rain is like "I want y'all to be famous... but not more than me" to all his groups 💀 Also joining CUBE, who had BEAST mind you -- who was MBLAQ's rival back in 2009 was

[wwonderers]

i think this more like, he's really good as a performer and coach, but not in business.

[asdfghjkri]

This is exactly the same issue with the artists that Beyoncé is handling. As the other people said, never expect success when you are being managed by another artist.

I don’t really support black ocean, but I hope that this was a wake up call for Rain. I got interested in Ciipher some time in early 2022 if I remember correctly. Mostly because of Keita, who I grew very fond of after watching yg treasure box after becoming a teume in early 2021. When I got interested in Ciipher, was around the same time Keita became my ult bias. But the lack of comebacks and promotions made me uninterested after awhile, and I really never became a fan, but more a casual listener of them. Then now when boys planet happened and Keita was one of the trainees there, it made me very sad, but also hopeful and happy that his incredible talent maybe wouldn’t go to waste. He was my top pick throughout the entirety of boys planet. And now he is getting to debut in EVNNE, with other trainees that didn’t make it in the final lineup of Zerobaseone. I couldn’t be more proud of him❤ It also looks like he might be the leader of EVNNE, which he definitely deserves with his experience in the industry and the many years he was a trainee❤ I also hope nothing but the best for the rest of the members in Ciipher and whatever their future endeavors might be❤

MBLAQ was my first ever group when I got into kpop, legends and one of the best, I'm so sad to hear about what they've been through, they have a lot of good music, even the last song they released "Mirror" was good, I don't know if Rain is to blame but we lost real talent

[shainyjana]

Ciipher had so much potential. They produced their 1st album. But all are gone

[hyunbinsluvr]

I've known the members very well since Ciipher debuted and besides, what Rain did was just irresponsible.. I missed that, okay so he said "I should have bought a house instead of debuting Ciipher?" This is so disrespectful to the members, Rain is wrong and he's being punished. The members had worked hard and went through difficult paths, they had dreams. But Rain turned them all upside down.

[vanillawanilla]

i don't understand why veteran kpop idols who wants to start their own companies think they're automatically legible to be CEOs. Just because an idol has been in the industry for a long period of time does NOT mean you can run a company. It's all BUSINESS and FINANCE. A more legible person should be someone who knows how the system of the industry works and how to handle money. I think it'd be more fitting if they start out as DIRECTORS first, given their actual previous experience in the industry they would only be focusing on the image and the debuting idols since that is the kind of expertise they would prob have

[hogrider]

I will never forgive Rain for abandoning MBLAQ... the only boy group I supported...

[preciouslyunhinged]

I don't think it's hate..we're just disappointed...he is a smart and talented guy but I don't think being a CEO for kpop group is his thing ..

[dramaqueenedits]

Oh Gawd!😭. I kept wondering wht the hell happened to cipher? I kept sensing something was off, and found myself wondering if Rain was sabotaging them, I don’t even know y I thought that. they had so much potential. I Kept wondering cant I find anything on them. I was introduced to them on the show master in house, and loved them almost immediately. I feel especially sorry for Tan who has been through so much Already. He didn’t deserve this. I mean Rain’s a great guy. at least on the outside and even brought the group with him to diff shows like all kpop show and the rest. But something just felt and still feels off about the way the guys just fell off the grid. I’m sensing something off about Rain.

Mblaq will forever be one of my fav groups of all times..😢 i miss them so much..the amazing songs, the hilarious personalities that all of them have that always make me smile especially when watching Hello Baby..🥹🥺 urghh i am still can't accept the fact that they were disbanded too early...😭 I am gonna listening to their songs now..while crying..😢

[blackneko]

In my eyes, he just trying and then losing. That it.
People ignore his all out effort and just blame him for everything.
Why people not get a mirror and ask themself "do i try to stan this group? What i do for my idols?" None.
People ignore them, forget them whrn they are exist but when they disband they blame agency. Not just rain but ALL AGENCY always being blamed by people, everytimes bad happend to the group. All of you forget agency is business???
I feel bad both for the group and rain.
Forget me, i just know mblaq and not for the others
