CL is once more featured in Billboard. She's now asked about being “The Baddest Female”, women empowerment and her ideal guy.

CL shared that she wants to change the stereotyped image of Asian women. She said, "I want people to know that there are girls in Asia, like me, who like hip-hop and dress differently.”
Regarding the difference of CL and Lee Chaelin, she explained, “There are always two sides to a person. I am CL and Chaelin at the same time. But ‘The Baddest Female’ represents CL more than Chaelin. In reality, my personality and lifestyle as Chaelin are completely different from CL's. But I want people to see me as CL on stage and in my music.”
Guys, read carefully. CL revealed the guy that she wants to fall for. She unveiled, ” It’s important to be with someone you can communicate with, you can build lasting memories and truthfully enjoy spending time with. Outer appearance or his finances doesn't matter to me. I earn my own money, so I don't really care [laughs].”
