2NE1′s CL scandalizes netizens for offensive language on her sweater

On September 2nd, the members of 2NE1 departed for Japan to begin their mini-album promotions. It all seemed to be going well, until netizens began to examine the photos taken of CL at the airport.

The photos have become a controversial issue, as netizens spotted offensive language on the sweater CL wore that day.

Phrases such as ‘f*** everything’, ‘take my tits’, and ‘cut here’ written near the neckline could be read on CL’s top.

Many netizens were shocked by CL’s choice to wear an outfit that included such language and left criticisms saying, “For an idol who has such a strong influence on teenagers, this is an inappropriate outfit,” and “There’s no way CL didn’t know what the phrases meant, since she is fluent in English.”

However, other netizens came to CL’s defense and argued, “It’s just fashion, there’s nothing wrong with having those phrases on a shirt“, and some insisted, “This was not a public meeting, we cannot judge her for the outfits she chooses to wear during her own personal time.”

It was also revealed that the design of the sweater was derived from a work of art by British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

What do you guys think, was it wrong of CL to wear an outfit that included such sensitive language, or is there nothing wrong with merely trying to express herself through her fashion?
