I like to play different characters.
— CL
I'm a city girl from Seoul City, where I grew up, to Tokyo & Paris.
I've been a fan of Dave Meyers and his music videos.
It takes so much energy and time to make one song perfect.
I have so many things I want to say.
There are always two sides to a person. CL is me, and so is Chaelin.
I have makeup on for such a long time that I need to give my skin a break. And at night, I really get clean when I take all my makeup off.
I want to represent Asian women.
I've always been colorful and taken risks.
N.Y. is definitely one of my favorites. Love the culture, people, attitude and music, art, and fashion.
When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.
'I Love You,' was something different for our fans and for 2NE1.
I always wanted to do my solo album in English, because I grew up listening to a lot of pop artists and English-based songs.
I want to express my ideas through my music and on stage because I'm a musician.
My eyeliner is part of my face. There are elements that I'll change here and there, but my eyeliner, with little wings, that never changes.
I have this other side of me that people didn't meet in 2NE1.
In 2NE1, you mostly see just one side of CL.
Working with Method Man was such an honor. I love his music even though I didn't grow up in his era.
I'm a tomboy, and my style is punk.
I feel like 'I Am The Best' or 'Can't Nobody' are very much 2NE1's style, if that's how you want to put it.
What is portrayed on stage and in my music videos is different from my everyday lifestyle. But I want to people to see me as CL on stage and in my music.
I want people all around the globe to know that there are girls in Asia, like me, who like hip-hop and dress uniquely.
I want to break that typical Asian female stereotype. There's this standard where they're all calm. I want to break that.
With 2NE1, it's not personal because it's not only about me; it's about all the members. We're more about influencing the world.
