After graduating from high school, he decided that he was going to become a singer and told his parents. However, they were against the idea and tried to compromise with him, saying that he could do music along with another job.

Rain’s mentor and songwriter Park Jin-Young once mentioned "People say the songs I wrote are really difficult for other singers to sing in their own style, as they have too much of my personality. But "Left Heart", people don’t even know that it’s my song because K.Will perfectly interpreted the song in his style." He also said "This is the perfect singer which I’m looking for."
