I’m sitting here watching the 2NE1 performance and i can see her doing all the moves, all the steps, interacting a little with the other girls and singing probably the clearest vocals in years…. But i can see the fear and anxiety in her too.
Its like she’ll never escape the fear and shame that Korea placed on her. She’s been called ugly, lazy, and painted to be a drug addict so harshly by even her own label CEO that I honestly am shocked that she even agrees to perform. I can tell she loves being on stage, even today, because she does get through the shell of fear in the performance and put on a good show, but I can’t help but remember the years and years of onslaughts of insults. She deserved and deserves so much better, especially considering she sort of created Jisoo and every current it girl who was allowed to be pretty, talented AND bad ass. And while i’m at it, she invented Rose and anyone who sings in kpop with stylistic choice.
I’m just mad, idk. I hope she makes so much money, lives a life of joy and never hears a negative comment ever again. I want her protected
