FTISLAND's Lee Hong-gi is bringing back one of PSY's underrated classics—with his own emotional spin.
🎵 Lee Hong-gi x PSY—A Soulful Rainy Day Collab
FNC Entertainment announced on June 19, "Lee Hong-gi will release a remake of PSY's 'It's Raining' on July 6 at 6 PM KST through major music platforms." Originally released in 2006, the track tells the story of someone who impulsively calls an ex on a rainy day—haunted by lingering emotions.

The remake is part of the "Today's Pick" series, which features standout artists including Big Mama's Park Min-hye, Lim Han-byul, Lee Ye-joon, Monday Kiz, and Huh Gak. The project focuses on reinterpreting hidden gems with top vocalists.
A source from the label said, "Lee Hong-gi's calm delivery and gradual emotional build create a perfect match for the song's mood. He gave 'It's Raining' a brand-new identity."
