Indeed, CL's nude scene in "Missing You" is very tasteful. And not only have Korean media has responded so positively over this but also the foreign press, particularly Billboard.
On November 20, Billboard released an article on their official website commenting on the idol group's latest feat. The editor said, "The music video shows a softer side
CL's act in new music video 'Missing You' has attracted attention from Billboard.
On November 20, Billboard released an article regarding 2NE1's new song 'Missing You.' As CL went naked in the music video, she received much attention from Korean and foreign press.
Billboard article, written by Jeff Benjamin, read, "The music video also shows a softer different side for the group -- particularly leader CL. Dressed in fashionable, at times witch-like, winter gear, the girls spend most of the video on the verge of tears singing the heartbreakingly bitter lyrics. The video's talking point is undoubtedly when CL goes nude for a daring naked scene during the second chorus."
The editor also commented on how CL's nude scene exudes more class that Miley Cyrus' take on nudes in "Wrecking Ball"
The music video itself is rapidly gaining viewers and likes over YouTube. It now has 3 million views and counting. "Missing You" is also sweeping the charts in Korea.
In the meantime, Blackjacks from the world over can catch 2NE1 as they appear at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, to be held in Hong Kong today.
