Source: Star News via Naver

1. [+245, -48] Um... okay... bye 

2. [+243, -56] So because of Park Bom, 2NE1's going to disband now too huh...

3. [+166, -13]  I vote that she'll flop

4. [+198, -86] If it's Scooter Braun, then it's Justin Bieber's company

5. [+156, -31] To be honest, it's hard to promote in Korea if one of the members has a controversy.  That's why they're all going overseas

6. [+51, -16] This girl hasn't done anything wrong but people always hate on her just because of her looks ㅋㅋ

7. [+28, -11] Wow~~~ Unnie, I'll support you!  I know you'll do well!  Take care of your voice

9. [+29, -14]  I'm not a 2NE1 fan but I think she'll do fine there?????  Since it's already been decided, I hope everything goes well for her. 

10. [+21, -8]  Mental breakdown!!!

Moe said...

im not ready with this.......
really

I am scared for her tbh. Seeing that it's going to be Scooter Braun who will manage her activities in there... I don't want her to flop. Tbh I am expecting a Korean solo album first. I wish the best for her though. I hope it's not bye bye 2NE1.

I hope 2NE1 doesn't disband only because of Park Bom. Its something she did so long ago get over it korea.

macy_12 said...

i think she has a 50/50 shot tbh. Unlike the previous, she actually speaks English & is a soloist going.
She may be testing waters for 2NE1?
If anyone, i've always thought it was going to be her, Taeyang, or Ailee who has the best shot.
Good luck to her & because of the scandal, i expect a 1-2 year hiatus for 2NE1 because apparently Bom needs to go into a reflection period. I do expect solos from 2NE1 in the years to come until the Bom scandal blows over or some sort.

I'm ready! If CL is consistent with the kind of music 2NE1 delivers and not mess up with something "experimental," her debut will be successful.

Haha said...

Idt she'll flop completely but at the same time idt she'll make a hit. Maybe a catchy track that a decent amount of people listen to? Not a fail but not a success. Idk i just hope for the best

Kpopismylife2010 said...

This is the perfect time to do this. It's now or never. I'm here for it.

Window said...

hater gonna hate.


but anyway.


i'm scared too. but we can just hope for the best. she doesn't have to be a hit, i just don't want her to flop. take things slowly first rather than one hit wonder.

zeyzeyzey said...

i'm sorry but after seeing Psy's American songs, i'm scared for another release under that management. i hope CL's songs will be on another route. i trust CL, not the management.

Window said...

true. and i'm not sure if Teddy is gonna keep producing for her solo in US. so if the music is different then there's gonna be a problem.

jhen said...

Tbh I want to congratulate her and do her best. We are worried but I know we bjs will support her as well as the other members. Hope that the 3 will have their solo activities too. Fighting leader-nim..

Good News: CL is going to debut in US around spring next year!

Bad news: Not hatin but she will end up like one of those talented Asians nowhere to find because of stereotypes!! Her confidence wont stand out that much in the market w/c was everyone has already here in the US!! Her talent alone is not enough unless she's white, pretty, bombshell body and a jew!!

Leasseable Lee said...

20/80 shot for me!!

Sue said...

This is so random. I thought she was coming out with a Korean album. I am still waiting for the 2ne1 English album tho so how do we know this is legit lol. Anyways I am all for CL's music. She wrote/composed If I Were You, Crush, and Baby I Miss You and those are such blessed songs.

ykrunkg said...

IDK how I feel about this tbh but I'll support her cuz I'm here for her solo album

Mary Dixon said...

It's like I waited for a yg artist to try and break into the u.s market and now that she is trying I'm sooo scared because the u.s market here is so tough and hard. That I'm worried for my girl cl . I know she will do fine on stage and etc but the people that will be new to her and her style will judge her so hard because of the Asian stereotype . And the she trying to be black thing. I just hope she puts out music that is true to her. And I will continue to support her no matter what.

RudiF14 said...

Anyone who is remotely successful is put down by these hateful netizens. Tsk tsk tsk. Go back to eating your bag of chips and achieving less than 1% of what CL has achieved.

soluizb said...

Speechless
Btw Scooter Braun is cool and all but psy haven't even dropped an album and it's been years. How do I trust the guy
Praying for CL to daebak

Jiji said...

but can we all be thankful that is with scooter braun who does house pretty big acts like jstin, psy and ariana, and not freaking Will.I.Am. like bless. that raises her chances of succeeding cuz its at least with a relevant company

macy_12 said...

i think it's more of her testing waters for 2NE1…..


Scooter Braun has quite a list of A-List celebrities under his belt… i think he knows what he's doing.

sansa180194 said...

SLAY BAE!!!

You know, I could care less if she flops. I'm confident that something good will come out of this. TBF got a lot of shit (I still hate it to this day tbh)...but that experience allowed CL to write/have a hand in some of the most amazing songs in CRUSH. This experience will shape her as a better artist more than anything, and I am so ready for that.

nothingonyou123 said...

Logically, it's smarter to enter as a soloist here in the States... Leader, give it a shot and the least we(international fans) can do is buy her single...

Aced21 said...

I'm so scared to be honest.... I know i should be supporting her, and i will, but it's so out of the blue; i hope she does well!

gzbitch said...

A-List celebrities? Are you perhaps talking about Justin Bieber who has no career outside of Instagram? Or maybe Carly Rae Jepsen who is a one hit wonder like The Wanted? Or Psy who has no career over there? Or maybe Ariana Grande who is barely surviving?

sansa180194 said...

I'm not really so hell bent on wanting CL (or 2NE1) to be as mainstream as Ariana, Iggy, etc. Of course it would be awesome if she gets big and have massive radio play with one English song, but I wouldn't be disappointed if these things don't materialize immediately (or at all).

This is a pretty good experience for CL. Tbh, I would be extremely happy if this stint allows her to make records like Yenny's solo or WG's Wonder World Album. Having her release her brand of music in that kind of quality would be a dream come true for me personally speaking.

As for the other girls, I hope that YG would at least give them encouragement or a small starting point to branch out. I don't mind another 2NE1 hiatus, so as long the girls would get to do something.

mambin said...

just a few years ago i was so hyped about 2NE1's US debut
but now I'm legit scared... once you flop in the US it's hard to make it back to korea... but I trust CL and YG for their music, and I also know CL is a smart girl

mambin said...

freaking Will.I.Am though lol he thinks he's all that, im glad she's not with him on this one

Anon. said...

Also scared for her but that's okay, if she wants it, she should go for it.


And the hate comments...everyone knows that if she succeeds they'll be kissing her ass, acting all proud but if she flops they'll do the thing they always do, 'of course, she's an idol, idols suck, blah blah blah.' So whatever, forget about them.


And yeah before Blackjacks give her shit for this, like some have been giving her for her solo ventures, I hope they realize that if she doesn't make it somehow 2NE1 will never be crossing over as a group. So blackjacks should all just support her and hope she does well enough for YG to say yes to the other girls joining her.

ohseungri said...

I can't stop think this is too soon and too random. She didn't even made a proper solo debut on her own country, it was just a single, so I was really expecting an awesome Korean album first. Now let's be honest, if she doesn't make money, she'll be considered a flop, doesn't matter how much the fans will like it or not. And yes, she has connections and all that, but the mainstream public don't know her, so I'm really curious how they're going to promote her.
I'm afraid for her but at the same time I'm like "Ok, she has the talent for that. She can rap, she can sing, she can dance and she's a great performer. YOU CAN DO IT! GO GIRL! but but but look how many artists tried and failed jfc"

macy_12 said...

in a market as competitive as the US where there's always a shift into the next "it" musicianship, any form of success is success.
PSY is more relevant in US more then KPop will ever be. GS is going down in the music history, no matter what he does for awhile, he'll still make some sort of waves.
Ariana Grande is the current "it" singer right now, girl has created hit after hits.
Carly Rae was really a one hit wonder, no comment on her.
Justin Bieber is one the most successful artist in this modern era, sold out concerts even the most prestigious arenas, MSG, multi-plantinum selling, etc. Say w.e you want about his personal life, but the boy is mega successful. His image is trash, but his name is stapled in American music, he's no one hit wonder, his career has solidify in the market.
So maybe a bit of exaggeration, Bieber is the only A-list, but Scooter knows the market & has created quite a track record.

Nova_REMIX said...

Is Ariana Grande really "barely surviving?" She's literally all I hear on the radio. Memes are made of her. She has concerts and is talked about all the time. I'm guessing that Scooter, no matter how iffy I am about him, is doing something right.

Nova_REMIX said...

That netizen can go fuck him/herself.

couer said...

Your right about the others but not about Ariana Grande. The girl is a hit right now. But it took her years and years to be where she is right now. Being successful in the US takes years of hardwork and not just because of connections.

_Π_ said...

Asian girl debut as rapper in us..i know its hard tsk but baby we bj will be supporting you..work hard i belive in your music..

Schemer said...

I'm more worried about Minzy atm....

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

She's not that popular though, what is without her teen/pre-teen fans who are supporting her. She's still in the phase of just putting her name out there.

Nova_REMIX said...

Thing is though, behind every kid/pre-teen are adults who are paying for their children to support her. These kids can't do it on their own. It's a win of a B-Listing type at the very least to have pre-teen/kids/teenagers back you up.

And isn't CL just "in the phase of putting her name out there?" I don't think CL's goal is to be like Beyoncé or Lady Gaga level. Hell probably not even Rihanna level, but to just tell people, "Hey, I exist, and I'm spreading my name."

X2NE1x said...

Lol at Ariana berely surving. Yet all you hear on radio is her singing! She is now the most famous teenage idol!

X2NE1x said...

Is legit. They have confirmed it her USA agency company & YG

X2NE1x said...

Lol, at people thinking 2NE1 will diaband cuz of Bom's scandal. They act as if everyone hates her but when everyone loves her still. While Korean turn their back on her the whole world still loves and supports her

Annie said...

Sell or flop, girl's got a good head on her shoulder so she's gonna get through that alive. It's not gonna be easy tho. No matter how much connections she has, her concept/image is common in US industry. Her badass, condfident, sexy, idgaf attitude stands out in korea because all those idol girl groups are too busy trying to look cute for oppa. They have plenty of those in the US. But, if she's ready to do it, might as well trust her and support her all the way. I just hope the three other girls be doing something relevant too. Ducking, yg.

kaede said...

I feel you. I am not expecting CL to go there and be an overnight sensation because we know how hard it is to break into the US music industry. It's okay for me that CL be like the caterpillar, crawling in slowly, working hard, and making her presence known little by little and become a wonderful butterfly soon.

Leasseable Lee said...

the huge difference between Ariana grande, psy and CL!


Ariana is American.


Psy has hit called Gangnam Style.


CL is an Asian and Kpop is her backgraound w/c majority of the people here dont and dont even care! Stereotypes will eat her. She cannot even staple her name Korea as solo, why try the most racist country in the world!!

Leasseable Lee said...

YG should have give it SHOT to Taeyang though!

Leasseable Lee said...

If she fails w/c kinda expected! people will blame her forever!!
