Korean pop music Singer Rain recently issued an apology after shouting at a hearing-impaired fan at a concert in Taiwan.
43-year-old singer, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoonwas performing at the time Taipei On January 17, as part of his Still Raining: Encore tour, he was at the Arena when he spotted a female fan filming him with her phone instead of dancing with the crowd.
While encouraging the audience to sing and dance, Rain singled out the fan and asked her in Korean why she wasn’t dancing. The question is translated into Chinese Interpretation at concerts.
In the video posted by the fan himself, it is only known that On the Qiqi threadshe can be seen pointing to her ears, then smiling and continuing to shoot without responding verbally.
Rain then went on to try and get her to show more enthusiasm before continuing with the show.
Two days after the concert, the fan posted an explanation of what happened and tagged Rain.
“It’s not that I didn’t dance, it’s that I couldn’t understand what Rain and the translator were saying. Because I’m hearing-impaired, I needed to lip read or use live subtitles to help,” she wrote on Chinese Threads.
Chichi wrote that she misunderstood what Rain meant and thought he wanted her to sing louder.
“He stomped his foot disapprovingly and told me to do it again,” she wrote, adding that when he made the “up” gesture, she again thought he meant “louder.”
“Then I thought why didn’t I sign with Rain? I didn’t want him to mistake me for a disobedient fan,” she said, adding that two of her friends who attended the concert were also hearing-impaired.
On January 20, Rain responded to her post in Chinese and wrote: “First of all, I’m really sorry, I didn’t realize you couldn’t hear me. I wasn’t considerate enough and didn’t think it through.”
Wishing her a happy birthday, as fans wrote in the message, January 19th is her birthday, and Rain continued: “Although this small incident happened, it left us with good memories. It made me realize that I should be more careful in all aspects of my performances in the future.”
