2NE1 reveal their ideal types + CL comments on nude scene in 'Missing You' MV

CL expressed confidence about going nude in "Missing You" MV and revealed she appeared as is without any adjustments to her diet or exercise schedule.

On the December 12th broadcast of KBS Cool FM's 'Lee So Ra's Music Plaza', CL was asked how she got in shape for her nude scene, and she shared, "I didn't show my entire body but just my silhouette, so I didn't need to do anything in particular..."

She also shared the reactions of her YG family, "Yang Hyun Suk and my YG family didn't say anything when I said I would do the [nude scene], but after seeing the scene, they said it's a relief it turned out well... For our previous slow songs, I used to wear studded outfits, but listening to this song, I wanted to give a less strong feeling." 

When asked, "Aren't you allowed to date now?" Park Bom responded, "We can, but now that we're able to, there is no one." The girls also commented on their ideal types. CL said, "I like a man who is in his own world. While others may think he's crazy, I like a man with individuality." Dara added, "I like a dependable person who can fit me in his arms, and someone who I have a common interest with. I like playing guitar, cats, and chicken."

Park Bom also revealed herself to be a fan of the most-talked about drama these days 'Heirs', saying, "Whatever he does, someone who does it well and is the best at... I like Lee Min Ho from 'Heirs' these days."

YG Entertainment artists currently not expected to attend 'MBC Gayo Daejaejun' this year

YG stans were in for some disappointing news as it has been revealed that YG Entertainment artists, including this year's chart-topping artists G-Dragon, 2NE1, and more, are currently not on the roster of attendance for the '2013 MBC Gayo Daejaejun'.

An MBC rep stated, "G-Dragon and 2NE1 appeared last year, but this year they're not on the roster to attend the '2013 MBC Gayo Daejaejun'."

Another rep from the broadcast station also said along similar lines, "YG Entertainment artists will not be attending the '2013 MBC Gayo Daejaejun' opening on the 31st. As of right now, there are no stages for YG artists scheduled."

The agency is currently in talks to attend the '2013 KBS Music Festival' but from the looks of things, their attendance does not seem too likely.

The 'KBS Music Festival' will be held on the 27th, 'SBS Gayo Daejun' on the 29th, and 'MBC Gayo Daejaejun' on the 31st.

2NE1's "Falling in Love" ranks 9th in list of Top 10 Most Viewed K-Pop MVs on YouTube in 2013!

On December 10, YouTube released a list entitled 'K-Pop Music Video Top 10,' which was comprised of the ten most viewed K-Pop MVs on YouTube from December 2012 to November 2013. 

Psy's "Gentleman" ranked in first place with approximately 600 million views since its release in April!  It had also been named the number one viral video of 2013 by TIME magazine.  Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" came in second, which is not surprising considering it won 'Video of the Year' at the 'YouTube Music Awards' in November.

However, that is not all.  Girls' Generation made the list two more times with "Dancing Queen" and "Galaxy Supernova" in fifth and sixth place respectively, although the latter was a Japanese release. 

EXO made the list twice, coming in third with "Growl" and fourth with "Wolf."  F(x)'s "Rum Pum Pum Pum" came in seventh place, Super Junior-M's "Break Down" in eighth, 2NE1's "Falling In Love" in ninth, and 4minute's "What's Your Name?" in tenth.

In the list of top ten most viewed videos produced and shared by Korean YouTube users, dance team Waveya's dance covers of Psy's "Gentleman" and Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" came in first and third place respectively.  In other news, many Korean label and entertainment channels were reported to have made the list of the most popular channels on YouTube, including SM Entertainment, Big Bang, Mnet, MBC K-Pop, and many more.
