Talk Asia with RainAs CNN's ‘Eye on South Korea' special programming comes to a close, the network's ‘Talk Asia' program is to air a half hour interview with Rain.  He speaks to CNN's Anna Coren about his latest Hollywood film, his younger years and family as well as his thoughts on the secrets of his international success.

As he prepares his Asia Tour he discusses his innovative stage performances and playing in front of thousands of fans.

Rain also talks about his youth, including the hardships he endured, his relationship with her mother and how he coped with her passing.  He explains that he was a shy child until he found dance. He went through 12 auditions until he met singer, entertainer and producer Park Jin-young, an encounter which was to change his life.

Previously Rain had told CNN that his dream was to break into Hollywood and he now discusses where this dream has led him, including his experiences shooting ‘Speed Racer' as well as the soon-to-be-released ‘Ninja Assassin'.

Rain's interview with TALK ASIA will be available online at www.cnn.com/talkasia after the first airing.
