Article
Lee Chae-rin (born February 26, 1991), better known by her stage name CL, is a South Korean rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born in Seoul, South Korea, she spent much of her early life in Japan and France. She rose to fame as a member and leader of the girl group 2NE1, who debuted in 2009 under YG Entertainment. They became one of the most popular South Korean girl groups worldwide and one of the best-selling girl groups. As a solo artist, CL made her debut with the single "The Baddest Female" in May 2013 and released the solo track "MTBD" in February 2014 as part of 2NE1's final studio album Crush.
Following the group's hiatus at the turn of 2015, CL pursued a solo career with the release of the singles "Hello Bitches" (2015) and "Lifted" (2016). The latter single led CL to become the first female Korean solo artist to place in the Billboard Hot 100, and the third Korean artist overall to do so. In November 2016, YG announced the disbanding of 2NE1 after a hiatus of nearly two years, and CL subsequently remained on the label. Shortly after leaving YG in December 2019, she released her solo EP project In the Name of Love (2019), consisting of six tracks written during the three years since her previous single "Lifted". Her debut studio album, Alpha, was released in October 2021. After 2NE1 reformed in July 2024, CL resumed group activities under the umbrella of YG Entertainment.
