• CL Explains The Secret Planning Behind 2NE1's "Coachella" Performance + Her Feelings After The Stage

    CL (Lee Chae Rin) confessed that she had prepared the stage for the group 2NE1 in secret.

    In the tvN entertainment program "You Quiz on the Block", which was broadcast on the afternoon of May 25th, singer CL joined as a You Quiz.

    In April, 2NE1 performed a surprise reunion stage as a whole at Coachella Valley Music & Arts (Coachella), a global music festival in the US, and stood at the center of the topic. CL, who led 2NE1's reunion stage, said, "I wanted to prepare for a surprise stage. I was afraid I'd get caught in the middle".

    In response, CL confessed that she practiced choreography at the dance academy run by Gong Minzy, in secret. CL added, "The class ended at 10 o'clock and we got together at 11 o'clock to practice quietly and then took a taxi home.  I only shared it with my relatives".

    When asked how the explosive response was, she said, "It was fun, it was the same even if we met freely after a long time."

    Regarding the reason for keeping the secret so secret, she said, "It's a surprise," adding, "I thought wemight not be able to do well as we prepared it in a hurry, but we wanted to show it quietly."

    Regarding her feelings after the stage, she said, "I really wanted us to gather up once, I was sorry that I couldn't greet fans properly because I was invited to Coachella alone at first, but I felt like it was the right time" adding , "It was a new stage and challenge for the members, and I was really grateful for the courage when I invited them".

    She expressed regret that 2NE1 suddenly disbanded without notice and shared what she talked about with the members after the stage.

    CL said, "Everyone in the car doesn't say anything, I think we each (quietly) tried to feel it because we know how precious it is that time, which means silence," adding, "We kept it like that, went home, ate, listened to our songs, and danced and played all day long."

    CL recalled, "When Dara and Bom went the next day, I cried, and I went to the airport right away with a tearful farewell." 

    When Sandara Park asked CL for a video letter, she said, "I thought I wouldn't have much to say because I kept in touch so often, but we will each live our lives in our own way, but all four of us are healthy and cool in our respective ways, I hope we can meet again, I love you.."

    Meanwhile, tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" is a program that depicts the travel of big Yoo Jae Seok and cute Jo Se Ho to people who leave at their will and airs every Wednesday at 8:40 p.m.

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

    On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

    During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

    She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

    She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

    When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

    "It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

    However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

    She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

    Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
