Well, old news yes. BUT HERE is an article about his return. He had an interview with the Korea Herald… and about halfway into the article? they mention the controversy of his songs. And I was like… huh? Cause I never bothered to look for the translation cause I didn’t sing this song, and it sounded like something I wouldn’t be interested in. And I swear I thought Rain said “Magic Stick” and that’s what it was captioned as during his performances, but then someone corrected that, saying that it actually was his “Majesty.” Confused? Yes, I was too. But then I decided, “he doesn’t sound like that’s what he’s saying… but okay. This is Rain. The ‘Control-My-Mind-and-My-Menu-with-Chicken-Breasts-and-Vegetables‘ guy.” In any case, his lyrics can’t mean what we think he means. Hmm… and I quote:
-
Meanwhile, SBS banned Rain’s new single “You” from its station for the supposedly suggestive nature of the following lyrics: “I am struck by your curves … Please hide that ass, you are driving me crazy.”
Of SBS’ decision, Rain answered, “If one looks at Korean pop music lyrics, there are many instances where it is hard to differentiate between sexual and dance-related descriptions. As I stated before, the lyrics for ‘Rainism’ were not written with sexual intent. The same applies to ‘You.’”
“If I had known that those words had a sexual meaning I would not have used them,” he said of his single, “Rainism.”
While his lyrics may not be considered suggestive by Koreans, that may not be the case with Americans, especially for those who are familiar with Lil’ Kim and 50 Cent’s hit 2003 single “Magic Stick.”

For those of you that AREN’T familiar with “Magic Stick” by lil’ Kim and 50 Cent (like me), here it is. You feel dirty after listening to the first couple lines. Or just the first one. ahah.
Where was I going with this? HAha… Iono, but yeah… I was just really confoozed. I still enjoy~ish his Rainism album XD But I like his “Love Story” better D: cause at least there’s not some “OOPS!SEXUALREFERENCE/DOUBLEENTENDRE” going on there D: haha x] GOGO Rain. xD
NOTE: Yes, I’m still testing, and I come back for like… a second to write about Rain and his magic stick D: LOL
EDIT: OMG, haha, i’m so stupid. I wrote my previous post on SHINee like… last weekend. And I forgot to PUBLISH it. haha. Man, I was tired, Cut me some slack :[ Boo for old news.
