October 2003
While Shinhwa was still figuring out their uncertain future, Rain continued to work with JYP who was becoming his mentor at this point. Jihoon the idol was far from finished and for the first time, without the help of Lee Sooman, he worked hard on his next album. He wanted to go a melancholic ballad about heartbreak. It speaks from the heart about a love he shared with his woman but since they went their separate ways the feeling of pain and longing are still there. He fells helpless in trying to escape the pain which he personifies as the sun.
"I am finally coming back gomaowo JYP-nim for helping me. I didn't know what I would have done without you. I owe you." Jihoon thanked.
"The pleasure is all mine and I'm glad you're out of that company. It was clear that Lee Sooman only saw you as Won bills to make, but here you're allowed to express yourself. With my knowledge in R&B and Soul I'll make a fine man out of you. All you have to do is practice and remember your lyrics. While your group is inactive, I will do my part and manage your solo career. Don't worry Jihoon I won't abandon you. You have a long day young man get ready." JYP patted him on the back.
Jihoon was adjusting to the major change following his departure from SM. No longer shackled by overbearing father figure he could now have greater control over his work. Whatever was left of childish image was all gone, he was now a transformed man. Rain was still at the top of his game with a fanbase that began to bleed out beyond Korea and into Japan and China. He hoped to tour there one day.
