Rain counted down to the release of his new song, “The Best Present,” via the Naver V app Sunday.

An hour before the release, Rain invited actor Kim Jae-wook and rapper Sleepy to take part in a live broadcast that involved eating.

He said he is happy to be able to eat freely, as he had been on a strict diet due to filming for a movie.

Many questions were asked on the app about his new song, which marks his return after a three-year hiatus.

He said that when PSY first suggested he sing this song he was skeptical about it. However, after listening to it several times, he soon began arranging the choreography for it.

Regarding the song’s title, he said his best present is his family and fans, adding that this has become more apparent with age.

He also gave a short live performance of the new song.

During the show, Rain promised he would invite fans to various events if his song reaches No. 1 on music charts.
