2NE1 CL SHARE HER FAMILY PROFILE TO PUBLIC

Lee Chae-rin, better known by her stage name CL, is a South Korean rapper, singer and songwriter. CL studied rapping under the mentor-ship of P-Type. She left YG Entertainment in late 2019. She's now signed under SuneV & Schoolboy Records. The May 19th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' featured CL's father, Professor Lee Ki Jin, as a guest, and the 2NE1 member made a special appearance. She introduced herself, saying, "I'm Professor Lee Ki Jin's daughter, CL," CL still lived a lavish lifestyle in her growing up years. Both her father and grandfather are professors. In 2011 she was a guest judge on “Project Runway Korea” (Onstyle) with designer Jeremy Scott.

Professor Lee Ki Jin also surprised Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho when he said he didn't prevent CL from dropping out of high school, saying, "She probably thought about the decision for a long time. That's why I said, 'Okay. Let's not talk about it anymore.'" CL revealed she was switching from trainee life to school responsibilities at the time, and she wanted to give all her attention to her dream. She said, "I knew that my father would never say no. I don't think I've ever heard 'no' from him."

As you may know CL moved to the U.S. in 2014 after years of success with 2NE1, and songs such as 'The Baddest Female' and 'Lifted' saw her music top Spotify and reach Billboard's Hot 100 within hours.

CL tell viewers, "I think art is my dad's way of talking. When he spent time with my brother and I, he would draw for us." Her father is also known to have written a children's book to help his daughter study Korean when they were living in Japan. Professor Lee Ki Jin further said, "She has a healthy way of thinking, and we communicate well. She's a dependable daughter and great friend."

CL's mother Hong Yoo Ra passed away at the age of 53 earlier this year. CL was in the American movie “Mile 22” (2018), where she played the character Queen. She’s the muse of Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang.
