The members of 2NE1 will still hold the “me2day star chatting” event with their fans through me2day on the 11th, with the exception of Minzy.

All four ladies of 2NE1 will stand on the stage together after the funeral period for Gong Ok Jin has passed.

News: 2NE1’s Comeback Stage Sparks Debate For Utilizing Live Animals

What do you guys think about the controversy surrounding 2NE1’s use of live animals onstage?

2NE1’s Comeback Stage Sparks Debate For Utilizing Live Animals

Despite making a lively return on SBS’ Inkigayo, 2NE1 is now being swept into controversy over its comeback stage.

2NE1 held its comeback stage for its new track I Love You on July 8 on SBS’ Inkigayo.

Going all out for its comeback stage, live swans were seen being used as props for the set while 2NE1’s CL made a memorable emergence onto the stage carrying a live parrot on her shoulder.

The performance was immediately followed with criticism by some netizens for the group’s use of live animals as netizens began accusing the group of unnecessarily causing stress to the animals.

Netizens pointed out the parrot on CL’s shoulder could be seen nervously flapping its wings amid the loud music and fast movements while the swans grouped together amidst dry ice.

The incident has since sparked debate on whether the use of animals for the group’s stage boldly pushed the limits of stage performances or whether it cruelly and unnecessarily used live animals for the entertainment of humans.

Even high-profile individuals such as famous editor-in-chief Kim Hyun Sung of Oh Boy! magazine sounded off, tweeting, “2NE1 utilized a live parrot on [CL’s] shoulder and swans as props. [2NE1 members] are friends who make great music but we hope in their next stages they won’t do so. Animals receive a lot of stress from the heat from lighting and from unfamiliar environments.”
