Celeb News: CL: "Asian girls love being basic"

"I think a lot of the young kids right now are looking for something new,and they want to look different. Especially girls, and this is why I’m trying to come out here — to set an example of an Asian girl. A lot of Asian girls love being basic because it’s safe. But the thing is, a lot of my fans are those girls, and they want to be bolder, but there’s no one they could look up to and be like, It’s OK to be that way. There’s no one out here who will do that, and I feel like I have done enough for Asia and changed a lot of girls. Even if it’s a phone case, they try. Girls in Asia are very obedient, shy, timid, quiet, but I can tell that it’s changing, and I want them to be stronger and tell them that it’s OK to be different. Being special is a luxury, and I don’t think we have that. Yet.

Why does she always talk about Asia as if it only consists of South Korea and/or East Asia? The vast majority of Asians have no idea who she is.

No, it's a pan-Asian trait. Shy, innocent, timid, quiet and obedient are valued traits on women and even men too.

She has a point but if those girls don't want to change why force them?

Saeju

The wording on a lot of her interviews is pretty terrible, though, I do see her point.

"I feel like I have done enough for Asia"'

But this is just...
She has barely done anything for South Korea.

i really hope shes successful

Uhmm, why is everyone clapping? That statement sounds a bit cringey. Reinforcing the stereotype of the quiet Asian

She's mainly speaking to the ones that WANT to be different but feel like they can't be because of stereotypes.

South Korea generally is patriarchal. That is hardly the women's fault. She needs to stop throwing Asia under the bus. I doubt she would say this to a Korean journalist.

"Girls in Asia are very obedient, shy, timid, quiet"
Um?

Poor language choice. She meant to say reserved which is a very true sentiment.
