Rain, whose fourth album sends a message of world peace, said he will be honored to meet with Ban, whose new post will endow him with the ability to realize the goal of attaining world peace.
On October 29, J.Y. Park, who is Rain's producer and the CEO of his agency, will represent Asia at the U.N. Youth Leadership Summit in New York.

Organized by Gyohyeon Elementary School, Chungju Secondary School and Chungju High School, Ban's alma maters, and the Chungju municipal government, the event will be attended by some 10,000 Chungjju residents and heads of local government offices. The congratulatory concert will be broadcast live by local cable broadcaster HCN. The pre-recorded version of the concert will go on the air in China, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.
