CL calls Korean singers “more passionate” than American and Japanese singers

12:21 am - 07/10/2012


In a recent interview, CL expressed her feelings on why K-Pop artists have popularity overseas:

Why do you think foreigners like 2NE1 & Kpop?

“The passion for music that Korea has cannot be easily found anywhere else. As compared to singers in Japan and USA, our (Korean) singers are more passionate. 2NE1 has been mixing eastern and western genres of music. The trot melody (that I Love You has) is one of those efforts.” (CL)

Man, the worst is when people who thrive due to sheer hype start to buy into their own hype and believe the shit that’s being spewed.

It’s like being a drug dealer and using your own shit. You’ve jumped the shark after that, you know?

Pro-Tip: When you’re an underdog, people tend to root for you. When you’re an underdog and you act like you already run shit, people laugh at you for being delusionally entitled.

Just saying.

The way I'm reading it, she was using them as examples. Where does it say "and people from these particular places are horrible at it and this is why"? Was that posted in this "article"?

I'm sorry but I can't find anything insulting about her comment.

It's not insulting but it's an all out wrong opinion. And you know how critical Kpop fans can be.

If you are an artist who is trying to break out in said countries, why would you even think of singling them out though? It's stupid and Americans get butt hurt easily and dig your grave before you even get famous.
