Rain 2 (Korean: 태양을 피하는 방법; RR: Taeyang-eul pihaneun bangbeob), alternately titled How to Avoid the Sun,[a] is the second Korean-language studio album by South Korean recording artist Rain, released through JYP Entertainment on October 16, 2003.
A R&B and pop album, Rain 2 was primarily written and produced by JYP founder Park Jin-young, Bang Si-hyuk, along with several other contributors.
The lyrics and music video express how the sun is omnipresent and cannot be avoided even if you hide underground or cover it with the palm of your hand.
The parody featured Colbert singing in Korean and mimicking elements from the Rain video including running from the sun and dancing in a parking garage.
