This emoji is effective for metaphorically expressing emotions like sadness or disappointment, rather than stating them directly. For instance, if you've failed an exam or are upset about something, this emoji alone can sufficiently convey your feelings.

While rain symbolizes sadness in many cultures, Korea has a special sentiment for rainy days. It often appears in dramatic K-drama scenes and has a fun, dual charm, evoking romance or delicious food, like the culture of having "pajeon and makgeolli on a rainy day."
