Cover Story: CL Redefined

Since going solo, the Korean superstar has doubled down on defining just who she is. From new album ALPHA to the 2NE1 Coachella performance that broke the Internet, she talks to Zaneta Cheng about why, at the end of the day, itโ€™s most important to remain true to herself

C-H-A-E-L-I-N, thatโ€™s me
Tell me, what in the world is real, real
Iโ€™m never sorry โ€™bout how I feel
I donโ€™t really care if you hate me
Or love me, you will never change me

This is the only verse in Chae-lin Leeโ€™s (most commonly known as CL) new single โ€œChuckโ€ that she raps entirely in English. The lyrics are a bold statement of what the Korean pop sensation is all about in ALPHA, her first physical solo album since leaving her previous label YG Entertainment to establish her own company, Very Cherry, as an independent artist. Each track is unchartered territory.

From genre to visual direction, the dancing, singing, rapping powerhouse has taken control of the wheel. โ€œI like to take on new challenges and try new things. Rather than committing to a particular genre or style, I like to explore new things in my own way at any given moment and maintain my own style and identity,โ€ she says. โ€œIโ€™ve always worked on and been involved with all the creative. But to be in charge of and responsible for the direction โ€“ that wasnโ€™t easy, but it was certainly a fun experience.โ€

This newfound independence certainly seems to be a merger of the best of two worlds for the artist. For all the countless documentaries that have been made about training in South Koreaโ€™s largest entertainment agencies, thereโ€™s no doubt that the talent that makes it out to domestic and international audiences is a cut above the rest. Itโ€™s evident in the music video for โ€œChuckโ€ that CL can dance laps around even the best in the industry. The 31-year-old has, after all, been training since she signed with YG at 15.

With not a single outfit or location change, the โ€œChuckโ€ music video is a three-minute showcase of CLโ€™s incredible ability to hold an audience rapt to her performing ability. โ€œI started my career with dancing and I wanted to show that original aspect of me in this MV,โ€ she says. Itโ€™s not just CLโ€™s prowess that the video demonstrates; the dancers spelling out each individual letter of her name also help to show how she is wresting her identity away from the behemoth corporations that once defined her.

There are also scenes where CL is smacking down hwatu cards from the archetypal Korean card game Go-Stop in front of an arched doorway so representative of classic Americana. Of this, CL says, โ€œIโ€™ve always had Korean elements in my music videos and I usually like to do that. But this time I wanted to do something different. I chose a special location thatโ€™s very American to capture the contrast between the background and me, as an Asian.โ€

Born in Seoul, CL spent a large part of her early life in Japan and France, which might go some ways to explain her openness to genres and experimentation in her work as an artist now but also when she started out in the industry as a member of girl group 2NE1.

Opting out of the hamster wheel of sugary sweet girly girl groups that were emblematic of the K-pop industry in 2009 when 2NE1 debuted, CL and her fellow group members Bom, Dara and Minzy showed girls there was an option to be who they wanted to be outside of the mainstream. With singles like โ€œFireโ€, โ€œI Donโ€™t Careโ€, โ€œUglyโ€ and CLโ€™s first solo single โ€œThe Baddest Femaleโ€, the artist has staked a place in a space where girls can be whoever they want to be.

Move the scrubber to the most replayed section of the โ€œChuckโ€ music video and itโ€™s where CL twirls, belting out โ€œlie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lieโ€ while casually and proudly holding up a middle finger with her backup dancers that makes one think just how much work it has taken for artists and musicians like her to get to a place where they can stick it to the man and do what truly represents themselves.

โ€œMy music always contains the message that we must be ourselves and not think about what others think. Iโ€™ve been trying to get messages like these across because itโ€™s hard to be like that,โ€ CL says. โ€œIโ€™ve been making music for a while now and itโ€™s always a challenge to maintain my own musical identity. This song is a reminder for everyone who is in this situation or will be in the future.โ€

Perhaps the most exemplary instance of this contrast is CLโ€™s debut performance at this yearโ€™s Coachella music festival where she reunited with the other members of 2NE1 for a performance of โ€œI Am the Bestโ€, a song which reached number one on Billboardโ€™s World Digital Songs Chart, the first K-pop song to do so, and remained the sixth-best-selling K-pop song in 2013 in the United States. The song was, in a way, both a homecoming and a farewell for the group that disbanded in 2016.

โ€œIโ€™ve always wished to be back on stage with all the other members as a group,โ€ CL explains. โ€œI always had this thought in the back of my mind that we didnโ€™t say a proper goodbye to our fans. I happened to get an invitation to perform at Coachella and I had a strong feeling that this was the stage Iโ€™d always been waiting for. Iโ€™m grateful that the other members also bravely accepted this.โ€

Lately, CL has been tearing up Paris Fashion Week. Never one to fear pushing the envelope, the K-pop star has eyes trained to whichever show she attends. Lest we think she doesnโ€™t do downtime, CL, in her new independence, also relaxes by exploring the outdoors. โ€œThese days, I try to take time to see nature, even when Iโ€™m abroad for work. Recently I was at the seaside, and I also try different kinds of tea.โ€

Thereโ€™s more we learn about CL, beyond the superstar. She alternates between extrovert and introvert each time she takes an MBTI test. She really likes cucumber. Her tattoos arenโ€™t really of anything special but theyโ€™re all special because she decided to put them on her body. This is similar to her approach toward the songs on ALPHA โ€“ โ€œEvery song means a lot to me. Thatโ€™s why I donโ€™t have a title song on this album.โ€

CLโ€™s #legend is her mother and she still โ€“ despite having broken chart records and having become a symbol of the Korean pop success story, pioneering the way West for groups following her like Blackpink and BTS โ€“ has dreams. Only, โ€œI have dreams, but I was told that dreams are not to be said out loud.โ€

At the end of the day, CL is now just, happily and freely, herself. โ€œYou should never give up but maintain your own pace. Sometimes you feel like you have no motivation to do something, but once you get moving, something new might come up,โ€ she says. โ€œSo I suggest you keep going. But itโ€™s just as important to rest well when you want a break.โ€

Like the lyrics of her song says, โ€œyou will never change meโ€, and change her we do not want to do. Along with her avid fans around the world, we can be sure that CL will bring us much more of herself and we wonโ€™t be sorry for it.
