CL sheds tears while talking about her advancement in America

tvN's new variety show, 'Livin' the Double Life' aired its first episode on November 23 featuringTaeyang,CL, andOh Hyuk!


While talking about her advancement in America, CL said, "Actually, it is my personal opinion. It was hard. I didn't even know that it was hard. Ijustrealized it recently. I wanted to go until the end, and wanted to take the responsibility... (crying) Oh my, I am crazy..."


Taeyang then said, "Realistically, what CL is doing is very hard. When I talk to her on the phone, you can hear how difficult it seems. It's been a long time since I've seen her, my heart is aching. Over the phone, I said this a lot, it would be nice if you could just come back to Korea and promote, release an album. But she has already done so many things up until this point. I think she has a lot of willpower. Yes, I'm her oppa, but as a fan, I want her to succeed." CL then whispered, "Thank you oppa."


Jung Hyung Donthen asked CL, "I'm really curious. Why America?" CL replied,"Truthfully, I didn't really grow up in Korea. I've always been going to foreign schools (in Japan, France, and the United States) and I was lonely. I was the only Korean person and would just listen to pop music. Ever since I was little, I always asked, 'Why aren't there any pop stars that look like me? Why are there no Asian pop stars?' Even during my training at YG, I wanted to learn it all, the system was different, how they ate, how they did things (Defconnthen mentions you have to look at it as a long-term goal). Since it never happened before there's no path I can follow. People want to help but they don't know how to help." Taeyang then mentioned that CL is a pioneer in that regard and Defconn said CL is amazing.
