130321 [POLL] [ENEWSWORLD K-Pop Battle] Se7en vs. Rain

Se7en is not only Rain’s original rival in K-Pop, the YG artist joined the ranks of the star as a man in uniform when he entered the army on March 19.

It’s been quite some time since we saw Se7en and Rain face off with their music, and because we may have to wait a little while longer for the rivals to battle it out on stage, they’re going head to head in this week’s K-Pop Battle.

Se7en

It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Se7en literally rolled onto the K-Pop scene in his heelys with his 2003 debut single Come Back to Me.

Following hits like Passion, I Know, and La La La, Se7en briefly crossed over to the U.S., before returning to fans with mini album Digital Bounce in 2010.

And although it has become increasingly difficult for solo artists to find a footing in the idol group-crazes K-Pop world, Se7en not only scored big in 2012 with When I Can’t Sing, he made headlines for teaming up with rival Rain’s mentor, Park Jin Young, for the track.

Ten years ago, Se7en had us counting to, well, seven (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!) And now we’re counting down the days to his return. Yes, already.

Rain

While Se7en’s army life is just beginning, Rain, who entered the army in 2011, is set to return to fans’ and one lucky lady’s arms this summer, when he is relieved of his duties in July.
Rain made his K-Pop debut in 2002 with Bad Guy an followed up with hits like How to Avoid the Sun, It’s Raining, I Do,Rainism and Love Song.

The entertainer went on to achieve “world star” status through a decorated acting career as well, starring in drama Full House to Hollywood film Ninja Assassin.

Although Rain faced a few speed bumps recently related to allegations he was receiving special treatment during his service, loyal fans are anxiously awaiting the star’s return.

If you’re not feeling nostalgic yet, recall some of your favorite old school K-Pop moments with these two stars and vote for your favorite HERE!
