Brief trans: In this vid, Minzy was acknowledged as a big Snoop Dogg fan^^ Snoop also praised 2NE1 "I believe 2NE1 is the future" CL on SBS Midnight TV Entertainment: "Honestly, Minzy & I are really fans of Snoop dogg & we like hiphop music so meeting him was so nice." cr.@WeLoveChaerin & @theEROMAKNAE

She pretty much confirmed that CL's solo is happening, woohoo!

CL featured on a Singapore Newspaper, Omy! [TRANS]: “Popular Korean girl-group 2NE1′s fashion has always been a model for fans. 2NE1, who has collaborated with many Western artistes, guest-starred for American hip-hop rapper Snoop Dogg at his concert in Seoul on 4th May. A sudden surprise left fans screaming non-stop. Leader CL, wearing a cropped top that shows off her sexy small waist, unexpectedly showed her black inner wear, causing fans to go crazy because of her sexy look. Although the 22-year-old CL is still young, she carries herself with class and has often been called ‘Queen’ by her fans. The awesome and cool performance attracted the attention of many big stars oversea who often express their interest to collaborate with her. Fans call her “super stylish†despite the slight exposure and feel that it’s only part of her classy style.†Cr: @Omysg Source: @sgbjcrew

YG Entertainment Gets You Closer to Finding Out “Who’s Next?†for A Debut or Comeback YG Entertainment previously left an ambiguous teaser, asking fans, “Who’s Next?â€, with the names of its artists listed on the poster. Now, the agency has narrowed down the list by fading out some of the names, leaving just 2NE1, Kang Seung Yoon, CL, Taeyang, and YG New Artist! Even with the shorter list of candidates, fans are still having a hard time predicting the next artist or group, since the ones left out of the list were mostly already ruled out. YG Entertainment stated, “Starting from the 28th to the end of this year, a lot of YGE artists plan to make their comebacks. As 28th is the starting date, CEO Yang Hyun Suk and the agency artists and staff are preparing hard for it.†It seems the agency will be continuing to release a few more of these posters until there is just one name left! But until then, can you guess “Who’s Next?†now that the list has been narrowed down? Source: YG-Life via allkpop

Cats out of the bag and it's official. Thanks, Rie! She confirmed what we've been expecting and I'm so excited. Of course, some ppl will hate and want a 2NE1 comeback first, but IDC because it's all good news for me either way. This is how I found out about Rie even before this news came out. I loved the choreo and she was one of the dancers (yellow shirt) I believe Taeyang has even been to her studio too.

I think it's hinting to the fact that these artists will be making comebacks/ debuts soon. Pretty much what we are expecting for now.

The Smiths’ Love For YG “PSY, BigBang, 2NE1 The Best†The father and son of the Smiths family showed special affection for YG Entertainment. Will Smith, who was at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido with his son for the press conference of “After Earth†(directed by Night Shyamalan) on May 7 said, “if you could make May 7 a public holiday or Willy Day, then I will visit Korea on the day every year.†Will Smith and his son Jaden who landed at Kimpo Airport on May 5 for the promotion of the new film first made their appearance on the 7th at the press conference. In the evening of the same day they held a red carpet event at Seoul Yongdeongpo’s Time Square to meet their Korean fans. On the 6th, the father and son had a free day to tour around the country, which included visiting YG Entertainment to spend some quality time with BigBang, 2NE1 and other artists. “After arriving in Korea we visited YG Entertainment yesterday. We met with a lot of artists including G-Dragon. The Korea we see from overseas is amazing and artistic. And it is full of creativity. I wanted to visit because Korean women are beautiful,†said Will Smith, and joked, “Korea feels like Psy’s ‘mother father gentleman’â€. His son commented, “I think BigBang, G-Dragon and 2NE1 are awesome. I think I can get something really creative working with them.†The Smiths, when asked what they would do if the movie becomes a big success in Korea, mentioned the YG family. “If the movie becomes a hit, I will come to Korea to sing with Psy. I will sing ‘mother father gentleman.’ I’ll release an album with him,†said Will Smith. His son added, “if the movie becomes a hit first I will move out of home. And I will work on an album with G-Dragon. Or I think the Smiths and YG Family can collaborate to produce an album. You can expect us to come back for more music related activities.†The film “After Earth†is blockbuster film based on an adventurous fictional story of Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and Kitai (Jaden Smith) being stranded by a crash landing on Earth, 1,000 years after the cataclysmic event. Will Smith also participated in the making of the film. This is the first time the Smiths appeared in a movie together as the main characters in 7 years since “The Pursuit of Happyness†in 2006. The movie will be released on May 30 in Korea as one of the first countries in the world. Source: yg-life

I found out that this is a charity concert for SBS Hope TV. Now that I think about it, Hayi has barely performed at these open concert events for her First Love promos.

You are the only shipper, LOL.

Lol. SMH. Prob to meet up with some friends and/or shop.

Pretty much. May 28 is only going to be a teaser. After that, the articles I've read said he would be teasing slowly. Annoying.

Oh really?! Lol. Make more! Not convincing enough for me. We'll find out soon though. She cut bans. Hmm.... I really enjoying her side bans. maybe she's preparing for a comeback? Also, I knew the shippers would come out.

130320 Lee Hi’s Interview with Sports Chosun: â€I live on sweet potato and pumpkin, and my weight is …†She’s not different from Hulk. That was how I felt when I first met her. If you see her on stage, she has this hateful yet cool persona but during the interview the one sitting in front of me is just a lovely 16-year-old girl. It seemed like she wanted to talk calmly but she blushed at the talks about ‘boyfriend’ just like typical high school girls. I asked her, ‘How are you so different when you’re performing on stage?’. “I think the one on stage is another me. I usually have calm personality,†she explained. Reveal my weight? That’s a bit … Lee Hi debuted with a retro soul song, ‘1,2,3,4’ and her recently released first album, ‘First Love’ exploded the music scene. On March 7, her title song ‘It’s Over’ from ‘Part 1’ was released and immediately swept the top of various charts. After ‘It’s Over’ first comeback performance, she was frequently praised that she has gotten pretty. YG Entertainment producer, Yang Hyun Suk also disclosed through a broadcast that it was the effect from her special diet. When asked if she was forced by the company to diet, Lee Hi said, “I‘m in puberty so I want to be prettier. That is why I steadily managed my food consumptions†and “Actually back then I felt a bit embarrassed so I couldn’t monitor my broadcasted performance and now I can,†she laughed. I asked ‘What’s your weight now?’ and that hit her and Lee Hi said “That’s a bit….†and avoided the question. Her secret diet management. Lee Hi said, “I used to eat sweet potatoes but recently I‘ve changed to pumpkins. I really eat a lot of pumpkins†and “My mom prepares my food and because of me, she has become an expert in pumpkins.†If didn’t join YG, and if it was SM or JYP instead … The full support that was sparred by Producer Yang Hyun Suk attracted Lee Hi’s attention. To Yang Hyun Suk, any Lee Hi related work is his first priority and he would even postpone his overseas trip. About this particular love, Lee Hi explained, “It seems that Producer Yang Hyun Suk thinks that I have something unique. The reason that he pays more attention to me compared to other singers is because I‘m new and the youngest (in the company), so maybe that is why he’s more careful (when it comes to me).†I asked her if there are any trainees or seniors in the company that are jealous (of her), “I think there are. But when I put I myself in their positions, I think I would be jealous too,†she said. SBS K-Pop Star judges, SM, YG and JYP give the contestants the chance to sign exclusive contracts with their respective agencies. The winner gets to choose which company he/she wants to join, however the rest has to wait to be casted (by the agencies). If the runner-up, Lee Hi was to join not YG but SM or JYP instead, could that be possible? Lee Hi said, “From the beginning in K-Pop Star, I really wanted to join YG. However I did have this thought ‘If I won this competition, I could choose wherever I want to go,†and “If I were to join SM or JYP I would have to perform songs that suit the agency’s image,†she explained. Lee Hi saw that YG’s training would go well with her personality. “Each person has different personality so the training should be different for every singer. YG fits the training with the personality (of the singer). In fact, I don’t think anyone could make me shine but YG helped me to find my own way.†Lee Hi’s experience with Yang Hyun Suk? Yang Hyun Suk played a great role as a producer in getting Lee Hi to settle this quickly. Then what does Lee Hi think of Yang Hyun Suk. “If you get to know him, you’ll know he has the eyes (to recognize the talent). And also a (good) taste. When he chooses the songs, they match exactly with the singers,†she explained. “While I was recording, he always told me to do it (sing) naturally. If I had a strong character on stage that would make me overdo things and I shouldn’t force myself to sing so he stressed that I should be natural instead,†she added. Then does Lee Hi 100% trust Producer Yang Hyun Suk’s words? In fact, there was a moment during recording the first studio album where Lee Hi was puzzled at Yang Hyun Suk’s choice. There were songs that she thought did not suit her. Lee Hi said, “I stopped recording that song and recorded another one instead. When I came back to the song later, it seemed that it actually fit me nicely†and “For the life of me, I‘m not sure about what I did. So in the end I decided to trust Producer Yang Hyun Suk’s words 100%,†she laughed. After the release of this first studio album, Yang Hyun Suk presented Lee Hi with a great gift. It is an apartment for her accommodation. At the end of this month, she will move here with her mother while her father and sister stay in Bucheon. Ideal guy? Deep eyes… There are a total of 10 songs on the first solo album. ‘Part 1’ was released on March 7 revealing five songs, following on March 28 is the title song, ‘Rose’ from ‘Part 2’ which is one of the five songs to be released. This album focused on various charms of Lee Hi. While recording the 10 songs, they might even be doubtful if they should put all these songs of different emotions on one album. Especially, the title song from ‘Part 1’, ‘It’s Over’ is a bright song whereas ‘Rose’ from ‘Part 2’ is a blue one. Lee Hi said, “Yet I would say that I still have a lot to show with the song ‘Rose’.†In the meantime, Lee Hi has been singing the songs that haven’t been covered well in the domestic pop genre. This makes me wonder if the sixteen-year-old Lee Hi is concerned over the greater burden that she gets (with that fact). However, Lee Hi said, “It’s not about the age, but it’s about the songs that best fit my voice are of the genre ‘Bonnie’. In the future, I think this would change bit by bit.†The birth of this ‘Thunderbolt Star’ makes everybody envy her but does Lee Hi feel afraid of this unstoppable popularity parade? “I‘ve received so much love and this makes me worried of what I should show next time, but if I were to worry about that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the present. So I purposely don’t feel bothered by it.†Finally I asked her if she has a boyfriend. “To be honest, I‘m at the age of having a boyfriend but my debut and performing activities won’t let me have one. My ideal type are Johnny Depp and T.O.P sunbae, they have deep eyes and bass voice,†she shyly smiled. Source: Sports Chosun Translated by: twosecondsdifference@flyhayi

Minzy doesn't do any of that. The 1st one is the closest but she's never put her hand between her legs like that. Minzy usually bootypops and shakes her hips.

1st, it's kpopstarz, so don't take it too seriously. 2nd, CL didn't intentionally reveal her bra. Her shirt was a crop top so it is to be expected that while dancing and moving around, her bra or w/e else she has underneath would show. This is similar to girls who wear ultra short skirts while dancing and moving around. They wear spankies (or w/e it's called) as extra protection for when and if it shows. I guess showing your panties are more acceptable than showing your bra? 3rd, Hyuna and CL are very different. Hyuna is always provocative and intentionally so, despite what she says (Hyuna has mentioned saying that she doesn't try to be too sexy, ). I don't hate the girl but that's just BS.

CL Shows Her Bra Mid-Performance, No Big Deal – What If Hyuna Did The Same Thing? On May 4 2NE1 appeared on stage alongside American hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg for his concert in Seoul, but CL’s wardrobe malfunction has caused a few raised eyebrows. Snoop Dogg asked the ladies of 2NE1 to perform with him for his first concert in Korea, Unite All Originals Live with Snoop Dogg, and fans were eager to see what the collaboration had in store. During Snoop Dogg’s hit song “Drop It Like It’s Hot†the four idols busted onto the stage in colorful track suits to sing along with him. The ladies were very animated during the performance, jumping and dancing all around the stage.However, CL’s attire caused alarm as her cut-off T-shirt came up on more than one occasion to show the entirety of her bra to the audience. While many fans attribute the undergarment exposure to the singer’s passionate performance, the Korean media labeled it “provocative.†It appears that the 2NE1 singer-rapper was not intentionally leaving nothing to the imagination, as CL is well known for her animated stage behavior, but nonetheless, the bra incited a tremendous online response. One comment on a Newsen article regarding the incident read, “People are way too harsh on CL.She’s just performing hard, singing hard, living up to her title as a singer.â€And many other responders agreed. But perhaps what was most interesting about the CL bra exposure was how many Hyuna comparisons it drew out.â€Hyuna would have been ripped to shreds with hate if she had done this,†remarked one internet user and raising one very good question: Why is it okay for CL to be provocative, but Hyuna is chastised for her revealing garments? Fans had a lot to say on the issue. “The difference is that CL isn’t trying to show sex appeal while Hyuna is obviously trying to look as erotic as possible,†concluded a netizen via Nate. Another internet user shared thoughts on the matter as well, saying, “You want to know why people think CL exposing herself like this is cool, but Hyuna is called cheap?Because Hyuna is a singer who knows how to do nothing but erotic dances with hooded eyes.If Hyuna had been a great singer, no one would care if she pulled stunts like this.They’d just see it as one aspect of a performance.†Recently the 4Minute singer has been getting a lot of negative attention for her overt sexuality in music videos and on stage.But is it really fair to draw comparisons to Hyuna each time another idol is remotely provocative? cr: kpopstarz

Me too. It's also the perfect opportunity to do so.

Agreed. Public-wise, and not physical sales, we really don't know how well CL will do. And we all know how much YG values the public's opinion in regards to music.
