Look, if you look like you're about, oh, 16 years old, and you're in a boy band, you shouldn't refer to yourself as a 'bad boy.' You're only setting yourself up for mockery. This is, of course, in addition to the mockery you will already experience merely for being in a boy band.
Now, granted, I don't speak Korean, so maybe you didn't say you were a bad boy. Maybe you said, "Some people think I'm a bad boy, but I'm not, so please love me," or "I'm so glad I'm not some stupid bad boy." But I doubt it, and I cannot take you seriously. You sing that line, and I snicker, "All right. Sure. We'll go with that."
And don't even get me started on men who use the term "my lady."
Rain, on the other hand? If he wants to sing pop music, and if wants to say he's a bad boy, that is fine with me, because the man himself is just fine with me. He is fine. I feel kind of like a gross old woman for saying than since I think he's just barely above the age of consent, but still. Man (he's only six years younger than me! That's not too much, right? No. Sadly, you're right. It is too much).
Besides, he was in Ninja Assassin, and even though that's just a movie, I'm pretty sure he could kick my behind and the behinds of most of the people I know.

Hey, at least the video doesn't have any dancing ninjas in it.
This makes me think of Greg Behrendt's comedy routine where he says that no matter how many tattoos you have or how badass you try to make yourself look, "at the end of the day, if you still have to go [does a boy band type dance move], you're not a bad boy."
Good point, JLR. Quite true, no dancing ninjas, and we know how that can make a boy band lose credibility.
I'd forgotten about the Greg Behrendt's comment. And that is my point exactly (but stated better and in fewer words). :)
