Thunder on His Admiration with Rain
On his recent interview with Ilgan Sport, Thunder talked about his admiration towards singer-actor Rain and the lessons he learned from the sunbae in the past.
"I learned a lot when Rain hyung was the producer. He's really really big on effort. He's still a hyung that I admire and he's the king of effort. Hyung often said, 'When you're done preparing for an album that means it's time to prepare for the next'," he said.
Thunder also revealed that although he gets to see Rain once in a while, they didn't have the chance to talk for long.
"I saw him once while preparing for this album. I saw him at a concert this year but I wasn't able to talk to him for long," he revealed.
Thunder had just recently released his first mini album entitled 'THUNDER'. It is his first time to release a mini album after he left MBLAQ and took a hiatus that he couldn't help but feel a little bit pressured. He's very much happy though to receive a lot of attention even if he's already going solo this time.
He also shared his thoughts on MBLAQ during the same interview. When asked if he misses MBLAQ or if he has any regret on leaving the group, he said, "[MBLAQ] comes to my mind often, not because of any regret but because it's a good memory. There are a lot of fans that I met through MBLAQ. It remains a beautiful memory."
The said mini-album was released on December 7th. His track 'Sign', which features Koo HaRa, recently made some headlines as it revealed featuring the singer's older sister, Dara, in the MV. Fans are thrilled to see how supportive Dara to her younger brother is.
