After looking at the post-its, CL asked me if she should sign on all of them.
I replied with a, "It would be appreciated if you could."
She then signed the papers in a rate faster than I imagined.
I even forgot what I was going to say just by looking at her quick speed.
Along with the rapid rate of signing, I also talked in a rapid fashion.
I accidentally even talked about my personal things.
I then asked her, "Do you like macarons?"
But, she replied curtly with a, "Mmm...Mhmm.."
So, I was starting to think that she doesn't like macarons that much.
But, she replied again with a, "Park Bom likes macarons!"
All I said after her reply was a, "Oh.. I see.."
Since I now know that CL doesn't like macarons that much, I then jokingly said that the topic should be changed.
She asked me, "Oh, what's your occupation?"
I don't clearly remember what I replied back.
I think I said something like "I make macarons."
I then jokingly said, "I will feed you macarons for your entire life!"
Her face suddenly became serious and she asked, "Really? Where is this macaron place."
My heart started to beat quickly.
I could also feel my entire body shaking.
I told her the general location of my the shop, XXX.
"Where in XXX?" She wanted a very specific location.
I told her everything.
She then said, "I will not forget and will definitely go there."
She emphasized that she would not forget multiple times.
I was so nervous.
I then said, "Really? Then promise me."
My hand approached her to do a pinky-swear, but my hand was shaking so much.
Suddenly, she said, "But, I have a condition."
"What is it?" I replied.
"You must not give it to me for free. "
I started shaking more.
Isn't she just an angel?
I'm just so thankful of her.
After she told me her condition, I almost cried.
CL, you are my L.O.V.E.
Interview:
When you encounter mental difficulty, who do seek for comfort?
Actually, I do not go to anyone because since I am the leader, I must comfort myself. I do not want to show others my suffering, and that is why they depend on me.
Are you not tired of the fame that comes with the job?
I don’t care. I do not bother thinking of it. I focus on small things rather than big things. Things like today we are going for a photo shoot, how should I make it fun, what should I do now, I always think big things as small and small things as big things. In other words, if I am solely doing things to maintain my fame, there will be no fun out of it.
We have to look at the big picture. While drawing the big picture, we must not think of making it bigger. Divide the big picture up into small parts and finish the small part with effort, and sooner or later, we will complete the big picture. Do not rush to complete the small parts, do it with effort and think of it as being very important.
Until last year, I hoped for an ordinary life including studying and marrying. I wanted to approach life step by step.
I think I had a dilemma between my two identities, CL and Chaerin. The fact that I realise that I had an identity crisis mean that my two identities were actually very similar. Even children who were forced to go to school also have this identity crisis. I first thought that living out of the ordinary locked by true identity, but the realisation of not locking up anything gave me comfort.
We have a lot to show, we want to show a lot of things. It is now time for asian girls to show that they can change the world.
My music gives others pleasure, especially when they interact with us and our music. Music does not only give them sound, but now it gives them their identity.
Just like us. Whenever we create music, we want people to be entertained more easily.
Everything comes from effort and concentration. If I had the luxury, I would sleep 12 hours a day, but when I am busy, I only sleep two hours and still act like I look fine.
The last location of our tour was in Singapore. I am still so exhilarated when I think of the moment where I sang in front of few ten thousands of people.
Normally, I am not that type of person that would cry in front of people, but that time, when I reached Seoul, I went home and cried my eyes out.
I want to use all the energy that I received, I felt the desire to work, but whenever I couldn’t, I felt very frustrated.
If you listen to 2NE1’s songs, there is a song called “Ugly” and it talks about the feeling that you can’t be pretty. How did you come up with the songs?
Should I say that it started with me? I was having a conversation in the studio. Over here, people would not understand, but Koreans have a stricter side. Wherever you go in Korea, they re very judgmental.
I do not understand their judgemental attitude. It is just their individuality. I like to express myself, and I like people who express theirs.
I respect and love people who express themselves, but there are some who do not share my feelings.
One day, when I was in the middle of a conversation, I suddenly got very sad and I said,” Maybe one day those people will start to hate seeing me” And so I had a really long conversation based on that topic. And so, that is how that song came about.
Truthfully, YG had talked to me about me getting plastic surgery. They said I should go get plastic surgery before I gave my debut…
At that time, I said bravely that I didn’t want to receive the surgery. Like I said just now, I really love CL. But still, I still have a desire for Chaerin.
Maybe if I wanted to change, I would’ve. However, my conscious still loves the original and natural me. And that is why I said I didn’t want to and I wouldn’t want to in the future, too.
It was 2011 that time, people put me down because I had a lot of confidence…and that’s why I thought. ‘Should I think more about this or should I just do what I like because it is me’ I thought very deeply and worried about it a lot.
All of us can only live once, and I can’t be someone else other than me.
I don’t want to live my life regretting things. I want to do the things I want to do and I want to say the things I want to say.
Every moment is a moment that will never come again. We should appreciate every moment given to us and catch on to the moment. I think that we should embrace everything and appreciate every thing…And I also believe that we should believe in ourselves.
“I want to pass on warmth to a lot of people. Isn’t that something I can do with my music?”
“We don’t know what will happen tomorrow of even one hour later, and I thin that is what life is about. I cannot think of what will happen in my thirties, and I know it won’t go the way I want it to. So until then, I want to live my every moment of every day to its full potential.”
Nowadays, I am so fully immersed in my work that I don’t really have anything to say. When I am resting I would go on with my hobbies, but when I am working, I am fully immersed in my work.
Ah, some time back, I climbed the Bokhan mountain.
I really really like the nature. I become very relaxed and comfortable when I am on a big patch of land and under the big big sky.
Even though I haven’t experienced a lot of things, while I climb mountains, I think I learnt a lot about life. At first, the roads are very steep so it is hard to climb.
But once you climb over a certain limit, the roads become flat and even the scenery is very nice.
And if you keep climbing from there, you will reach the top, and everything will be perfect and comfortable from there.
That’s what it seems like - perfection. But it is not what it seems. There are so many bugs at the top; if you just stay still for a while, there are thousands of bugs that will attack you.
Also, it is faster to climb down than to climb up the mountain.
Just looking at these points, it seems like climbing mountains is what the elders call “life.”
-THE START INTERVIEW-
2NE1 Sandara Park “CL is my life saviour…She came to safe my life during the Japanese earthquake.”
When everyone was trying to gather images of the Japan earthquake, 2ne1 Sandara Park was in the middle of experiencing such an event.
At that time Sandara Park said that she “Was alone on the 34th floor during the 2011 Japan earthquake. People who haven’t been through it wouldn’t know, but the doors were opening and closing very subtly.”
Also “If I am scared or I am hurt, I am the kind that would hold it in anyways and think ‘I must live on.’ And so i tried to escape but I realised that i was the only one on the 34th floor.” She also said “I tried to call CL using the hotel phone. CL answered. She was very calm and said ‘stay still. I will go and pick you up right now.’ After that, She really came and saved me.
