Lee Chae-rin (born February 26, 1991),[1] better known by her stage name CL, is a South Korean rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born in Seoul, South Korea, she spent much of her early life in Japan and France. She debuted and rose to fame as the leader of the girl group 2NE1 in 2009, which went on to become one of the most popular South Korean girl groups worldwide.[2] As a solo artist, CL made her debut with the single "The Baddest Female" in May 2013 and released the solo track "MTBD" in February 2014 as part of 2NE1's final studio album Crush.
Following the group's hiatus at the turn of 2015, CL pursued a solo career with the release of the standalone singles "Hello Bitches" (2015) and "Lifted" (2016). The latter single led CL to become the first female Korean solo artist to place onto the Billboard Hot 100, and the third Korean artist to do so overall. In November 2016, YG announced the disbandment of 2NE1 after nearly two years of hiatus, and CL subsequently remained under the label. Shortly after leaving YG in December 2019, she released her solo EP project In the Name of Love (2019), consisting of six tracks written during the three years since her previous single "Lifted". Her debut studio album, Alpha, was released in October 2021. After 2NE1 reformed in July 2024, CL is set to resume group activities under YG Entertainment.
CL ranked 2nd and 25th on the readers polls for Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2015 and 2016, respectively. She appeared on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list (2019) and was named amongst the best girl group members of all time by The Guardian. Beyond the field of music, she is recognized as a style icon by numerous publications worldwide.
Biography
1991–2008: Early life and career beginnings
Lee Chae-rin was born in Seoul, South Korea, but spent most of her childhood living in Paris, Tsukuba, and Tokyo.[3] When she was 13, she moved to Paris alone where she studied for two years.[4] On living in different cities while growing up, CL said, "Culturally, I'm not 100 percent Korean. I'm very mixed, and very open."[5] When she was 15, CL auditioned to join South Korean record label YG Entertainment.[4][6] Her first feature on a song recording was Big Bang's "Intro (Hot Issue)" in 2007. Later that year, Lee performed for the first time on stage at Seoul Broadcasting System's Gayo Daejeon alongside her label mates.[citation needed] Her first credited appearance in a song was in 2008, with Uhm Jung-hwa's "DJ," in which she rapped.[7]
2009–2013: Debut with 2NE1 and solo career beginnings
Lee took on the stage name 'CL' and was placed as the leader and main rapper of 2NE1, alongside Bom, Sandara Park and Minzy. The group then collaborated with label-mates BigBang for the song "Lollipop" on March 27, 2009, before appearing on SBS's The Music Trend for the first time on May 17, where they performed their official debut single "Fire". 2NE1 achieved significant success with their number-one single "I Don't Care" from their first extended play, 2NE1, which won them the "Song of the Year" accolade at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making them the first rookie group to win a daesang in the same year of debut.

The song debuted at number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her first entry on the chart.[14] The single, "Lifted" was released on August 19, 2016. The song appeared in the Top 30 of iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap chart within three hours of being released, peaking at number 21.[15] It primary incorporates samples of Wu-Tang Clan's 1993 track "Method Man", and had the rapper himself appear in the accompanying music video.[16] Time magazine referred to her as one of the biggest stars in Asia, and called her the "Future of K-pop in America".[17] "Lifted" went on to peak at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her first entry as a solo artist and second overall, making her the first female South Korean soloist to appear on the chart.[18] On October 29, 2016, CL kicked off her first North American tour, the Hello Bitches Tour, at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. With the sold-out performance, she became the first K-pop female artist to hold a solo concert in the city.[19][20] The tour visited various other cities in the United States and Canada before concluding in Toronto on November 14.[21][unreliable source?]

2019–present: Departure from YG Entertainment, In the Name of Love and Alpha
On November 8, 2019, YG Entertainment announced that CL did not renew her contract with the company and left the label.[28] On December 4, shortly after leaving YG, she began releasing previously unreleased tracks for her digital solo EP project In the Name of Love for three consecutive weeks.[29][30] On September 12, 2020, CL announced that she had been working on a new album that would be released later that year. Two days later, she released the music video for the song "Post Up", which would serve as the intro track for her upcoming album.[31] On October 29, she released two singles—"Hwa" and "5 Star"—which were co-written by former labelmate Tablo.[32] At the same time, CL announced that her first full-length album Alpha would be released on November 30.[33][34] However, on November 16, she announced that she had decided to postpone the album release until early 2021, stating that while preparing the album she had developed new ideas.[35]
On February 26, 2021, CL released "Wish You Were Here", which coincided with her 30th birthday, released as a tribute to her mother who had died days prior on February 10 due to a heart attack.[36] On June 16, CL appeared in the first episode of the second season of the TV series Dave, where she played the role of herself collaborating with rapper Lil Dicky as he aspires to take over the K-pop industry.[37] On July 10, 2021, CL signed a domestic management contract with Konnect Entertainment in order to manage her activities in Korea.[38] Two weeks later, domestic publications reported that CL would make her comeback in mid-August.[39] It was later announced that CL would release her album Alpha on October 20, 2021.[40] The digital single "Spicy" was first released on August 24.[41] On September 13, she became the first K-pop female artist to attend the Met Gala in New York City, alongside Blackpink's Rosé, wearing a custom made hanbok-inspired denim dress designed by Alexander Wang.[42][43] Four days later, CL announced that Alpha's second digital single "Lover Like Me" would be released on September 29.[44] On June 2, 2022, CL made her voice acting debut with the role of Shaki L for the animation Baby Shark's Big Show!.[45]
Artistry
CL has cited 1TYM leader Teddy Park, who produced much of 2NE1's music throughout their career, as a source of influence and inspiration. In addition, she has attributed Madonna, Queen, and Lauryn Hill as role models for their unique styles and influence as well as their levels of originality.[6][46][47] Her discography primarily consists of hip hop, dance, and electronic styles, as well as integrating a variety of other genres. Her debut solo single "The Baddest Female" in 2013 was characterized as "a clattering ego massage that channelled Atlanta hip-hop",[48] combining techno and dance elements with the catchphrase "Now do the unnie".[9] The track jumps from a hip-hop beat to an electronica-infused build-up to the dubstep breakdown during the bridge.[49] Her next solo track, "MTBD", was included as part of 2NE1's second studio album Crush (2014) and fused the genres of EDM, hip-pop and bubblegum trap over a tense drum beat, low bass, and a unique synth sound.[50] Billboard stated that: "The beat was trendy yet fresh, employing of-the-moment, trap-inspired breakdowns" and highlighted her "fierce and playful rap and singing style".[51] Fuse TV compared it to the musical styles of DJ Snake's "Turn Down for What", and deemed "MTBD" an upgraded version of the track.[52]
CL continued to pursue hip-hop and electronic styles with the release of "Hello Bitches" in 2015, which featured instrumentations of synthesizers, a heavy 808 bassline, and a strong trap hip-hop beat as the main axis.[53] Her 2016 English-language single "Lifted" marked her entry into reggae fusion, and was characterized as a relatively minimal breezy tropical hip-hop track.[54] Following a period of inactivity, CL released the project EP In the Name of Love in December 2019. Featuring six tracks, Billboard noted that the EP "[shares] a bit of herself, and her past, through its reflective tunes."[55] Stylistically, the record explores a variety of music genres from R&B to rap and tropical dance.[56] In October 2020, CL released the track "Hwa", which references the national flower of South Korea.[57] Rolling Stone commented that "CL's rapping prowess is on full display", as she rides a "booming bass line and snappy snares".[58] The song reflects her individuality, referencing themes of fire, wealth, flower and change.[59] In the track "5 Star", it contrasts the styles of "Hwa" with its love-filled lyrics and channels a more pop vibe.[60]
Public image and impact
"She expanded the image of the female K-pop idol. Her brand of unapologetic cool was refreshing and contributed in paving a way for other K-pop artists to follow".
–Hae Joo Kim, K-pop expert and the assistant chair of professional music at Berklee College of Music[61]
An anomaly in the mainstream K-pop scene, as The Guardian describes, CL has been called "a bold and brash personality in a world of high-gloss uniformity". Noted for deviating from stereotypical trends throughout her career, Jeff Benjamin of Billboard magazine stated that "She has a more fearless mindset when it comes to her career that's not seen in most K-pop stars."[48] Regarding her live performances, Tamar Herman of the same publication stating that she "dominate[s] stage after stage with her charismatic presence".[62] Owen Meyers highlighted her charismatic character and stated that "she helped pave the way for K-pop's explosion."[61] In an interview with CNN at New York Fashion Week 2016, fashion designer Jeremy Scott added: "I go around the world, I've seen her fans in Chile, in Brazil, obviously all through Europe. [...] She's not just a Korean or an Asian phenomenon, she really is a global superstar".[63]

Hailed as an "ultimate style queen" in South Korea by Dazed,[64] CL's influence extends beyond music into the fashion industry.[47] Regarded as a style icon and a fashion industry figure,[64][65][66] she has been known to experiment with a variety of fashion trends and styles throughout her career.[67] She holds connections with several internationally renowned designers, including Jeremy Scott, Marc Jacobs, and Karl Lagerfeld[65] and is often seen wearing and attending events for fashion houses such as Chanel, Saint Laurent, Fendi, Moschino, Givenchy, Balmain, and Alexander McQueen.[68][69] Vogue magazine called her "affinity for loud, larger-than-life clothes" a "catnip for photographers during Fashion Week." Often combining clothes from luxury fashion houses with streetwear, the magazine stated that "While most front row attendees show up in something from the corresponding brand," CL chooses "something that complements not just the aesthetic of the house, but also perfectly encapsulates her own 'baddest female' reputation."[70] Her personal style has been described as resembling a tomboy-like aesthetic, commonly incorporating boots, biker jackets and sports caps with young menswear favorites such as Nasir Mazhar, Astrid Andersen and Sam MC.[64]

I love to perform and express myself to inspire people. That's why fashion is a huge inspiration to me."[67]
Appearing on Time magazine's readers polls for Most Influential People in the World for two consecutive years, CL ranked 2nd place in 2015 (behind only Vladimir Putin) and 25th in 2016.[82][83] She became the first female K-pop idol to appear on Hypebeast's list of 100 influential people in fashion[84] as well as the BoF 500 fashion industry power list, who called CL a "South Korean force of nature" and the K-pop scene's "queen of hip-hop" who has been a "muse to a number of designers".[85][86] Nordstrom's Trunk Club included her in their list of 15 Most Stylish Female Icons worldwide who have changed fashion in recent history, and deemed her one of the biggest female style icons in K-pop.[87] In April 2019, CL was listed by Forbes magazine as one of Asia's 30 Under 30 most influential celebrities in the field of entertainment & sports.[88] In recognition of her stage presence and duality, The Guardian ranked her as the 19th best girl group member of all time in October 2019, and was only one of the two Korean artists to have been mentioned.[89] She has been called "K-pop Queen" by international publications such as France 24, Rolling Stone and Billboard,[90][58][61][91] as well as "Asia's first lady of pop" by Dazed.[77] In March 2021, she was the only Korean musician selected as part of Google's Women's History Month campaign, attributing to her unique color and "role in heralding the beginning of the golden age of K-pop".[92] CL was chosen as GQ Korea's Woman of the Year in 2022.[93]
Artists who have cited her as an influence or inspiration include Blackpink's Lisa,[94] Loona's Hyunjin,[95] (G)I-dle's Soyeon,[96] Chungha,[97] Aespa's Giselle,[98] GFriend's SinB,[99] Secret Number's Jinny,[100] Hot Issue's Hyeongshin,[101] Lorde,[102] Billlie's Moon Sua,[103] WJSN's Exy,[104] and Oh My Girl's Jiho.[105] Yuji and Haeun of 3YE and Choi Yoo-jung have said that they have studied CL's performances and expressions while practicing performing.[106][107] At the 2018 Winter Olympics, Korean-American snowboarding gold medalist Chloe Kim stated that "I listen to CL before I compete."[108]
