SBS explains why KARA's Seungyeon appeared so late in the drama


KARA's Seungyeon finally made her appearance on SBS' historical drama 'Jang Ok Jung' on the 28th!

Every fan had been waiting patiently for her to arrive back on the scene since her short appearance on the first episode. For those of you wondering why it took her so long to appear, SBS explained, "She's a servant who follows the orders of the court ladies. She starts at a lower rank than Jang Ok Jung does in the palace. The class gap she has with Lee Soon (Yoo Ah In) is even bigger. She was going to appear as Jang Ok Jung's rival gradually as her story unfolds. It's not that she's late, but that her appearance is naturally later in history. She's going to appear just when Jang Ok Jung would be taking her place as Jang Hee Bin."

Even if she's a little late to the drama, we all have big expectations for Seungyeon! How do you think she did?

CL of 2NE1 Solo Single “THE BADDEST FEMALE”




On May 28th, 2013, CL, leader of popular Korean pop group 2NE1, released her first solo single, “THE BADDEST FEMALE”. After weeks of teasing fans with images from the accompanying music video, which was released simultaneously with the single, CL proves why she is worthy of the title “THE BADDEST FEMALE”. 

For her first solo effort, CL worked with producer TEDDY PARK, the creative force behind many of 2NE1’s biggest hit. CL uses the hip-hop, trap and dub-step influenced track to push her rapping skills beyond the boundaries expected from the charismatic front woman. With her unique voice and edgy delivery, CL has undeniably claimed a place for herself as “THE BADDEST FEMALE” in an otherwise male dominated genre. “THE BADDEST FEMALE” is just the beginning for CL, who can be expected to release further solo efforts in the future. 

CL commands the camera’s attention in the eye-popping, fashion filled music video for “THE BADDEST FEMALE”. Whether she’s dancing in a b-girl inspired look or staking her claim to the music world as a Greek goddess, CL effortlessly embodies all versions of “THE BADDEST FEMALE” inside of her. 

CL first made a name for herself as a member of popular Korean pop group 2NE1. Straying away from the typical, manufactured, K-Pop girl group, the 4 female group, took an original approach to music, dance and fashion and gained a large fan base in the process. Their hit songs ‘I Don’t Care’, ‘Go Away’, and ‘I Am The Best’ reflect their personalities as strong, independent, and confident women. 2NE1 has appeared in an Adidas Originals commercial alongside Nicki Minaj, Big Sean and Jeremy Scott, who designed an entire new collection for their “New Evolution” World Tour. They were recently featured on the song “Getting’ Dumb” from “will.i.am’s album “#willpower” and in 2011 were crowned MTV Iggy’s “Best New Band in the World”.
