1. 2ne1 CL controversy

In 2014, CL received a formal complaint from the Korean Muslim Federation for her use of a Quran verse in her track, “Mental Breakdown (MTBD)”. Islam has very strict rules around the reproduction or representation of religious passages and figures, and the KMF felt that CL’s use of the verse was disrespectful and blasphemous.

The issue seemed to have been resolved fairly quickly when YG entertainment re-uploaded an edited version of CL’s live performancewith the controversial part removed. This year, however, many noticed that she was again using the unedited version of the track and had performed it in one of her American concerts.
