In October, 2011, Rain's exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment expired, and at the same time he joined the army. And, as he and his management team whom he had been working with since his debut, have decided to go their separate way, he has become a free agent (FA) as they speak. Not surprisingly, the underhanded competition among entertainment agents to get a contract with Rain who is to separate from the army on July 10th, is getting fierce.
Rain's military service has left a vacuum of two years in his career, but he is a major singer representing Korea and actor who is highly regarded in Hollywood. He became the first Korean to have a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2006, and to star alone in Hollywood major film 'Ninja Assassin' released in 2009. Particularly, because of a scheduling conflict between his enlistment and appearance in films, he had to give up his appearance in several films before his enlistment. He is known to still receive attention from Hollywood.
According to many entertainers and staff of management firms, Rain seems most likely to form a partnership with a major entertainment agent which builds systematic management system, not operating company under his own power. Rain established his own company JTune Entertainment after he got independence from JYP Entertainment in 2007, but he found operating company a very difficult experience. In addition, even though he runs his own company, singer Psy has been on a roll as an international singer since he belonged to YG Entertainment, that is likely to have an impact on Rain's decision to team up with a major agent.
Currently, several major agents which are likely to team up with Rain, are named, but they are very unforthcoming about what happens, "Rain is still serving in the army."
