BIGBANG’s Daesung has publicly apologized to CL and 2NE1 after making a controversial comment about their contributions to YG Entertainment earlier this year.

On December 13, Daesung invited CL, the fierce leader of 2NE1, to his YouTube show "집대성" (House Daesung). The two shared memories of their trainee days and talked openly about past misunderstandings.

Daesung brought up how hard 2NE1 worked during their concert preparations, saying, “You practiced every day. I remember going to the same shop as Dara noona, and every time I saw you, you were practicing. When I asked how you were, you’d just say, ‘I’m doing it like a machine.’”

CL also reflected on the grueling schedule, sharing, “We practiced non-stop for three months, even during Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving).”

During their conversation, Daesung confessed he had recently spoken to Minzy about his previous remarks and sincerely apologized. “I talked a lot with Minzy and made a proper apology,” he said.

The apology stems from Daesung’s controversial comments made back in February on the YouTube show "피식대학" (Psick Univ) during the "Narack Quiz Show" segment. At the time, he had said, “The group with the lowest contribution in YG Entertainment is 2NE1,” and shockingly added, “The member we could do without is Gong Minzy.”

CL didn’t hold back her feelings about the incident. She responded on Daesung’s show, saying, “I was shocked. You deserve a scolding. That’s not right.” Daesung, visibly remorseful, immediately knelt on the chair and bowed his head deeply. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t realize how much my words would affect people. I apologized to Minzy right away.”

Fans are praising Daesung for owning up to his mistakes and making amends, but many believe this serves as a reminder about the power of words. CL’s straightforward response and Daesung’s sincere apology are proof that even idols can learn and grow from their past actions.
