1. [+244, -33] Overall, the music and music video are decent but I really don't know why she thinks slurring her raps as if she's taking a sh*t is necessary. Go listen to Yoon Mirae. She could be rapping a mile a minute and you can still make out every single word she says.

2. [+237, -63] We apologize, Nicki-ssi. We're really sorry.

3. [+158, -20] Isn't it contradictory to say that she's unique when she reminds you of Nicki Minaj...

4. [+139, -22] Pretty sure I'm used to media play by huge companies by now but did the article seriously say "chewy rap"... This is sh*t play ㅋ

5. [+127, -31] ㅋㅋㅋ YG's media play is at the top of its game these days ㅋㅋ Now that JYP is out of the line, YG is taking over its place as the top media play machine ㅋㅋ

6. [+96, -12] I'm a fan of both artists but CL's definitely not on Nicki's level yet... I really anticipated her solo and was met with disappointment.

7. [+103, -22] Her song's really bad though

8. [+65, -14] I completely admit I'm a stupid fangirl of CL's but this song sucks

Article basically praises CL for having exceeded the expectations of everyone in terms of her visuals in her music video and how she's receiving so much praise from her fans for looking sharper and sexier (aka YG just shot themselves in the foot with this media play).

1. [+838, -55] She's not pretty, journalist, she's not pretty. Let's just leave it at "she's unique".

2. [+691, -77] The answer is she's not pretty;; and her song sucks too

3. [+598, -62] A more accurate title would be "CL, is she really ugly or is she just looking ugly?"

4. [+463, -25] People seem to think that it's only the girls who think CL's pretty but it's not true... I'm a girl and I don't think she's that pretty.

5. [+298, -31] In this entire world, the only people who think CL is pretty are her dad and Yang Hyun Suk.

6. [+231, -20] How much were you paid for this article?

7. [+95, -27] This is an inappropriate way to media play
