How has CL been even remotely a flop? She had an incredibly successful US tour, with pretty much every date sold out. And some of her venues were pretty damn big. I can only talk about the crowd in NYC but we were all waiting in line a good 5-6 hours before the doors even opened, and there wasn't an empty seat/space in the house. I talked to so many people after while we waited on CL to walk out and I didn't hear a single complaint about the concert. Everyone loved it, no one complained about hearing 2NE1 songs 'cause we were all just so happy to even see ONE of the girls performig, and we got to see Dara looking happy as fuck the entire time! Yeah I wish CL had called Dara on stage and sang with her, but has anyone ever thought that maybe Dara didn't want to? lol She was there to support CL, she was not there to sing or go on this giant crazy tour with her. But of course online everyone has to talk shit about the smallest things. The KPop fans I met in CL's concert were so much nicer than Korean fans

Dr. Pepper wasn't my favorite, but Hello Bitches is super popular and even Lifted got pretty big. The Late Late Show performance of Lifted was awesome. She's still working on her album, she even said in an interview she knows she's taking a long time but she wants to do this US debut right and doesn't want to rush things. And let's be honest, I'm sure whatever drama went down with YG and 2NE1 that made them disband has probably slowed down her album even more.

A lot of people really like to call artists "flops" just 'cause they don't care about them, but you can't deny when an artist is actually becoming successful. I don't like Beyonce at all, doesn't mean I can call her a flop and be right about it. Thousands of people care about CL, and if her US album ends up being what we're all expecting, her fanbase is gonna grow even more. I have friends that make fun of me for listening to Korean music all the time, but as soon as I play Hello Bitches or MTBD they stfu and go crazy with it, lol. I mean, who can have a whole tour based on 7 solo songs and no new album and have a packed house everywhere she went?

And as for people blaming CL for 2NE1's disbandment, that's just as crazy too. YG probably started pushing her solo stuff even more after Bom's "drug" scandal because Korea turned her back on her, and YG being the dickhead he is, he turned his back on her too so he wouldn't piss off Korea. At that moment he probably thought the group wasn't gonna make any money 'cause of that scandal, so he pushed CL. Minzy prob felt like her career was going nowhere so she didn't resign. And who knows about Bom but with 2NE1 being neglected by YG as bad as they were, I would totally understand if she felt like her career was going nowhere too. Hopefully now she can sign to a label that'll really treat her like she deserves to.

I'm kinda scared about BlackPink because I can already see YG using them like he used 2NE1, and I just hope they don't get fucked over by him. I didn't wanna think they were meant to be 2NE1's replacement but it's kinda obvious that's why their debut and comebacks were so perfectly timed. He definitely wanted to get Blackjacks on BlackPink's side while we waited on 2NE1's comeback, and now that BP has a good sized fanbase he doesn't need 2NE1 at all anymore

(Sheesh that was a lot I'm sorry lotta opinions over here)
