ELLE Singapore Magazine Article: Meet the Coolest Girl In K-Pop

Latest Magazine Articles:

South Korean pop star CL is the baddest female in K-pop and she won’t have it any other way.

In the K-pop world of cookie-cutter music artistes, 25-year-old South Korean Lee Chae-lin — better known as CL — stands out by a mile. Projecting badass instead of cutesy, she wears black leather like a uniform, rapid-fire raps in Korean and has hits like Hello Bitches, Dirty Vibe and The Baddest Female.

These guys, the two main characters, weren’t pursuing anything. I thought the cat was Jordan’s way of being sly. I thought it was a reference to Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat!, which is a screenwriting book. But he told me, “No, I just think cats are cute. Everybody likes cats, right?
