What does Justin Bieber think of CL's 'Hello Bitches'?

CL's new solo release "Hello Bitches" is powerful and impressive to say the least, and the rapper's high-profile friend, Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber, seems to be feeling the track!

The singer gave a nod in CL's (Parris Goebel and Zane Lowe too!) direction with a short Twitter post that reads "This is dope" and linking to the dance performance video for "Hello Bitches." 
We totally agree with Justin Bieber on this one! You can officially purchase the track on iTunes.

CL solo instead of 2NE1 comeback? Possibly because of Park Bom?

So is it or is it not a 2NE1 comeback in the making?

Fans have become confident that it was indeed the return of the YG girl group after the clues using "21" in the date and time as well as the recurring appearances of Park Bom in public. However, an exclusive report from dongA.com has claimed that according to an insider on November 12, the 'Who's Next?' actually marks the solo comeback for leader, CL!

The rep has dished that CL had been preparing her solo music early on, has completed work on it, and was preparing for her comeback stage.  She allegedly teased for her Korean comeback by posting a selca of her short, light gray hair with the words, "Makeup test." on Instagram.

The report also recalls past words by Yang Hyun Suk, who had stated at an October press conference, "Firstly, we are focusing on CL, so you can expect good news shortly. We are going to think of 2NE1's return after the completion of CL's solo promotions."

If this is true, what might it also mean for her American debut which was promised for this year? Hello, there's barely two months left!

On another note, rumors are rapidly spreading that it was originally a 2NE1 comeback, but YG has changed his direction to a CL solo at the very last minute, because Park Bom's drug scandal issues were beginning to be re-ignited by netizens.

When will this drama end?

Fans heavily speculate on 2NE1’s comeback following CL’s “All Or Nothing” post

Fans feasted on speculations on 2NE1’s big return after one of CL’s latest Instagram updates went viral. 

On November 10th, CL posted a vague update on her personal Instagram account, teasing fans of a possible comeback speculation. The photo was also posted with the tag “ALL OR NOTHING,” which can be recalled was the title of their last album promotions.

Fans also speculated on the vague post as it roughly features four people and was heavily blurred and pixelated to avoid speculations. The update strengthened previous suspicions that 2NE1 is the artist being referred to YG Entertainment’s latest “Who’s Next” teaser. 

The post, however, was since deleted and was replaced by a number of photos of CL on a make-up test.

Could the suspicions be true?

YG Entertainment hints that 2NE1 might be next in latest 'Who's Next?' poster?

Last week, YG Entertainment has dropped their big question that gets everyone in a flurry: "Who's Next?" with only the date on the poster. Now, they have added a time that has tongues wagging even faster trying to guess "Who's Next"!

Initially, fans were guessing that the comeback would be the second half of iKON's album, WINNER, or Akdong Musician, though now they are even less sure. Teases from YG Entertainment have also suggested that Psy could be prepping his comeback as well. With this new update, a very symbolic time "November 21st at 21:00" previous speculations have been thrown out the window with guesses leaning strongly to a surprise 2NE1 comeback.   

With so many other releases in the wings, and 2NE1's public image still not 100% repaired, it would be a surprise indeed if 2NE1 were next in line for a release, though Blackjacks would of course be ecstatic. A more likely scenario is that CL's long-awaited US release will drop this month and or the girls will release, but not promote, a single.

In any case, YGE has certainly got a knack for getting us in a frenzy with their vague teasers. 

Who do you think will be dropping new music on November 21st?
