| Quote: | Rain Says Closing Ceremony Performance Was 'Electrifying'
Singer and actor Rain performed "Beijing, I Love Beijing" with popular Chinese entertainers during the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics held at the Main Olympic Stadium, or the "Bird's Nest," on August 24. Rain performed with popular singers Wang Lee Hom, Kelly Chen and Han Xue.
The following is an excerpt from an interview with Rain right after the performance:
Q. When did you get the offer to perform in the closing ceremony?
A. A year ago, I was asked to perform with an American artist. Later, they changed the theme to "Asian Unity" and decided to invite Chinese singers to perform. The organizing committee asked me to represent Korea. I later heard that film director Zhang Yimou, who was the artistic director for both the opening and closing ceremonies, recommended me. The plan was finalized four months prior to the Olympics, and I met with the singers a month before to record all the songs. We sang two lines each and sang the chorus together.
Q. You've performed in numerous large-scale concerts throughout your career, but isn't this your first time performing in front of 90,000 audience members and billions of TV viewers?
A. I performed in front of 40,000 audience members during my Beijing concert. However, my heart started pounding at the thought of having to sing in front of 90,000 people from all over the world and the sheer size of the whole performance. Each and every one of the singers I performed with on the evening of the closing ceremony was extremely passionate. Athletes became one and enjoyed the whole party. I felt electrified and excited at the same time. It's been a huge honor.

das stimmt, das ist wirklich schade. Bei uns in Deutschen Fernsehen haben sie nur gesagt "koreanischer Sänger" ansonsten keine Namen, von keinem der Sänger aus dieser Gruppe. 
Aber es war trotzdem ein Erlebnis denke ich mal, wann hat man schon mal die Möglichkeit vor 91000 Zuschauern zu singen. Und ich fands auch super, aber irgendwie fand ich, dass sie ziemlich leise waren so im Vergleich zu anderen die gesungen haben.
