We all fell for egotistical and stubborn Lee Young-jae in Full House. Rain was already a big deal in Korea before Full House, but because of this drama, he became a household name all over the world. His famous “three bears” scene is still being used in variety shows and K-dramas today. Rain is now a loving husband to Kim Tae-Hee and a father to two girls. He’s still active in the music scene and his fans are waiting for his next K-drama role.
