Chaerin was born in Seoul, South Korea. In her childhood, she traveled frequently with her family, because of her father's occupation. She spent much of her youth in Japan, France and USA. When she came back to Korea, she barely knew any Korean, but said in an interview shown on 2NE1 TV that she is now most comfortable speaking Korean. CL was raised as a Roman Catholic. CL became a YG Trainee in late 2006, contributing to various Big Bang albums, officially part of the YG family in late 2007, and debuted (with 2NE1) in 2009. She is fluent in Korean and English.
During her time with 2NE1, CL released her first solo track The Baddest Female on May 28 as a digital-only single. The single was announced as Bad Girl on May 23 but changed due to the similarly titled single Bad Girls releasing by 이효리. Her second solo track MTBD (an acronym for MenTal BreakDown) was released in 2014, which was released physically on the Korean version of 2NE1's Crush. Originally the song incorporated chanted verses of the Quran, but due to accusations of blasphemy these have been removed. In 2016, the song was used in the fifth episode of the TV show Lucifer.
In 2014, it was announced CL planned on solo debuting in the USA, teaming up with Scooter Braun as her manager. In May 2015, CL featured on the song Doctor Pepper by the American producer Diplo. I November 2015, CL released her third solo track Hello Bitches, and the same month featured on PSY's song Daddy. Then in August 2016, CL released the single Lifted which incorporated samples from Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man. In October 2016, CL kicked of her first North American tour.
In 2017, CL featured on Lil Yachty's track Surrender alongside Shaiana, which was released as a bonus track of the Deluxe Edition of the album Teenage Emotions. In 2017, CL also recorded the song No Better Feelin for the soundtrack of My Little Pony: The Movie. In 2018, CL made her Hollywood debut with her role in the movie Mile 22. In February 2018, CL performed in the Winter Olympics closing ceremony at Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium performing The Baddest Female and 2NE1's hit-song I Am The Best. Later in 2018, CL collaborated with Black Eyed Peas' track Dopeness.
On November 8, 2019, YG announced that CL had not renewed her contract with YG entertainment. On December 4, CL began releasing tracks for her digital solo EP In The Name Of Love. In September 12, 2020, CL announced that she had been working on a solo album that would be released later that year. On October 29 she released two singles: +HWA+ and +5 STAR+ while announcing that her earlier mentioned album was named Alpha and would release November 30, 2020. However, on November 16 it was announced the album would be delayed until early 2021.
On February 26, 2021, CL released the single Wish You Where Here, which coincided with her 30th birthday. The song was released as a tribute to her mother, Hong Yoo-ra, who had died a month prior due to a heart attack. On July 10, 2021, CL signed a domestic management contract with Konnect Entertainment in order to manage her activities in Korea. On August 9, CL released a teaser for her album Alpha stating "coming soon", and on August 12, it was announced that the first pre-release single Spicy would release on August 24, with a second pre-release tracking coming in September and the album releasing in October.
She has also featured in "The Leaders (feat. Teddy, CL)" by G-Dragon as well as "Kiss (feat. CL)" for fellow member Sandara; she also has a joint single with Minzy titled "Please Don't Go".

돌아오지 마 정신 차릴래
우린 끝났잖아
너를 위해 흘려준 눈물
내가 주는 마지막 선물
벌써 엎질러진 물이야
지금부터 지저분해질 뿐이야
넌 내가 밉겠지만
날 잊을 수 없겠지만 워
이미 기회를 놓쳤어
너 같은 놈은 깔렸어
이제 연락하지 마
찾아오지도 마
나를 떠난 건
Baby boy 너였잖아
제발 연락하지 마
전화 좀 하지 마
후회할 거라
내가 말했었잖아 바보
오에오에오
I'm done with you
오에오에오
I'm done with you

Matter fact that's the last word that I ever gonna sing about you
I'm done

Can we also talk about the fact that CL , herself edited this entire video and the rewind MV too and it’s not mediocre or sloppish but is of high quality and at a professional level . Ugh the talentry .
@kjthekunoichi
Talentry..😅wow what a word... but yeah the mv is super fun!!👍👍👍👍🌸🌈😮i think she had a lot of fun making it!
@nissapuput5432
Really? Wow I'm blown away~ yash our talented queen, I'm miss her a lot
@partoftheway4235
CL is comming- yeah and I think cl is self promoting and self producing her self and her music. What I think will happen is in a year or a few 2ne1 will get back together and produce and promote their own music. Shoot they are so well known that they don't need any publishing company to publish and promote and produce them. So all we need is Sandara Park to be done with YG. And then they would be free to do their own producing and publishing and promotion of their own music. Shoot they should just come together and have their own music publushing/production company. Then they do what they want. And also they can have other groups produce under their label and brand. And as far as having a business Loke that. Sandara Park is very much business minded!!!! And minzy owns her own dance company. So yeah they could do that. Then I'm sure we would see much more music from them both together again as 2ne1 and solo!
