For anyone who doesn't want to read the full interview:
Quote:
Why do you think foreigners like 2NE1 & Kpop?

“The passion for music that Korea has cannot be easily found anywhere else. As compared to singers in Japan and USA, our (Korean) singers are more passionate. 2NE1 has been mixing eastern and western genres of music. The trot melody (that I Love You has) is one of those efforts.” (CL)
I find it just a comment showing pride for Korea, rather than her distaste for Japan or the US. It's not the most politically-correct thing to say, but she said her opinion honestly and I don't think she was really meaning it to insult.
