Wiping away tears, he thanked the clouds for supporting him starting from his debut in April 24, 2002. Being the manly idol that he is, Rain put on dark glasses to block his tear-filled eyes. He continued to acknowledge his fans by saying: "As an artist called Rain, time has flown by like the wind. During the opening, I remembered my audition and it was hard back then. Now it has already been ten years."
As if feeling the heaviness in Rain's heart, his loyal fans cheered and cried with him as he promised to return in two years. Rain promised that "I'll be back safely. Thank you to all the fans who have dedicated their lives to me for the past ten years. To the loves of my life, my father and sister, I love you."
Rain will be entering the military on October 11, 2011 and he will be serving as an army soldier.
