Spoilers ahead
Choi-gon Park Joong-hoon had a big hit in 1988 with his song “The Rain and You,” turning him into one of the era’s top stars. Yet fame didn’t suit him, and he fell into bad habits while money slipped away. By 2006, he’s clearly past his prime, still dressing the part of a rock icon in a leather jacket and jeans, but resenting that younger entertainers have taken the spotlight. His lifestyle remains chaotic—drunk driving incidents and drug scandals shadow his days—and the only constant is his longtime manager and friend, Park Min-soo Ahn Sung-ki, who has stood by him since the peak of his career.
