CL Worries She Might Not be Able to Marry



Even CL is apprehensive about carrying out certain concepts for her music.

Recently turned solo artist and leader of group 2NE1, CL, had a total of 15 costume changes for the music video for her new single, “The Baddest Female.”

Among the numerous wardrobe changes were looks of a Grecian goddess, futuristic soldier, sexy red carpet, and “ghetto fab,” to name a few.

In a recent interview with Newsen, CL spoke candidly about her thoughts and affection for her costumes.

When asked what look was her favorite from the music video, CL responded by saying, “The last look where there was a picture of lips in the background was one of my favorites, but it’s hard to pick just one because I had say in all of the looks I wore in the music video.”

Then the reporter asked about the “gold teeth” that CL wore in the music video. CL responded that the gold teeth has always been a part of hip hop culture and she too always loved them. She went on to say that other people thought it would be good if she put them on for the video. She added, “Truthfully, I was afraid that if I put the gold teeth on, it would be difficult for me to get married in the future.”

CL concluded, “Besides the gold teeth, there wasn’t anything I was apprehensive of trying. The things I like tend to be unconventional so they feel natural to me.” With a laugh she added, “I was worried just a bit about the gold teeth.”

Lee Jong Suk Clears Up Rumors of Discord with IU



Actor Lee Jong Suk recently cleared up the rumors that claimed that he was on bad terms with IU.

Lee Jong Suk was a guest on the SBS talk show, “Hwashin” that aired on June 4. He talked about the rumor of him and IU being on bad terms and not saying a single word to each other in the waiting room when they were emcees for “Inkigayo” together.

MC Bong Tae Gyu started off by saying, “There’s a rumor that you and IU did not speak to each other in the ‘Inkigayo’ waiting room.” Lee Jong Suk explained, “There are many young viewers for ‘Inkigayo’ so things are very one-dimensional when it comes to costumes, makeup or the things we say. But I hated having to make those big body movements and wearing childish costumes.”

Lee Jong Suk continued, “But IU said that we had to be different from other music programs and that we should dress up in costumes. She came up with ideas like dressing up as Peter Pan characters. We dressed up as Peter Pan, Leon, snowmen and all sorts of different costumes. I was kind of annoyed.”

He admitted, “Everyone loved IU because she’s cute and lovable and the ‘Nation’s Little Sister,’ but there were times when I didn’t like her.”

He said, “But still, when it was all over, I was so sad. After I stepped down as an MC, I kept in touch with IU. We told each other about the things that upset each other and that’s how we became close. Now, she’s one of my few close friends.”

Meanwhile, actress Lee Bo Young also cleared up some rumors, like the one that claimed that she got upset when she was compared to Kim Tae Hee while filming for a CF.

A production staff commented, “Song Ji Hyo doesn’t spare herself and works really hard filming ‘Running Man’ while creating an amicable atmosphere for others. Because there was rain, the staff members were exhausted. Song Ji Hyo came with pizza and the staff members ate it deliciously and had renewed energy with the rest of filming.”

Girl Group Secret Reveals Income Rankings Within the Group

On June 3, Mnet’s variety talk program “Beatles Code 2” aired an episode featuring B1A4 and Secret’s Han Sun Hwa and Jung Hana. After revealing that B1A4’s Jin Young currently has thirteen of his compositions registered, the emcees guessed he earns the most within the group and asked how much he has made. When he didn’t give an answer, the emcees asked Secret the same question.

“We’re all about the same,” Han Sun Hwa said. Super Junior’s Shindong reasoned, “But Jeon Hyo Sung endorses a lingerie brand so she must be first.” Han Sun Hwa answered, “Yea, that’s right. To be honest, she is first.”

The emcees asked, “Are you girls sad that she’s the only one endorsing lingerie?” Jung Hana responded, “But it will look weird if all four of us endorse it. Since it fits her the best, it’s better that she endorses it.”

Nine Muses’ Members Reveal Their “Paper Cup Diet”



On the upcoming episode of SBS E’s “Star Beauty Show,” girl group Nine Muses will appear to reveal the secret to the members’ gorgeous bodies.

The diet plan they follow is called “Paper Cup Diet,” which involves eating three paper cups of rice, side dishes, and vegetable or fruit. During the filming, Nine Muses’ members showed how the plan works. They stated that although they usually eat low-sodium and low-fat meals, the members stated that this plan also works when eating out.

The idea is that by using a cup, a person realizes exactly how much of food is being consumed, thereby preventing overeating. Also, a dieter is not restricted in terms of the menu and therefore reducing the amount of stress that often follows “one food diet.”

Meanwhile, various other beauty secrets of Nine Muses will be revealed on this episode of “Star Beauty Show” at 11pm (KST).
