CL's latest Instagram post met with varying responses

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Social media platforms have changed the way people communicate and the speed at which they do so, which comes with advantages as well as disadvantages. For celebrities especially, sometimes the disadvantages can greatly outweigh the advantages as their every move and every post are watched by critical eyes. CL's latest post seems to demonstrate that point with her photo instantly sparking arguments among fans from all corners of the world.

CL shared the above snapshot on her Instagram, showing the rapper blowing smoke after using what seems to be a water pipe, or also commonly known as hookah, at a hookah lounge or bar which is becoming more prevalent in many parts of the world.

The Instagram post rapidly gained comments of varying nature with some commenting, "You are public figure so why did you post this?", "What are you doing?", "It's bad for your health", "I can't believe she's smoking", "So disappointed in CL", "Just leave her alone, it is her life", "It's just hookah, calm down everyone", and more.

What do you think about the situation?


It's a just a narghile though...
what's your favorite flavor omona?



AKP, CL instagram

Yes, ichiban is perfect

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Lol its her life, she can do what she wants. get a hobby and stop being so mad netizens.

I don't like hookah but the apple flavour is good I guess.

[greeds.livejournal.com]

for once these comments aren't netizens tho, they're just people from around the world who follow her on instagram. it was gettin pretty cray up in those insta comments.

Don't hate!!

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

I feel like she thought she looked so gangsta taking the pic!!
It's funny to me when I see a people at Sheehsa lounges taking pics with smoke coming out being all sexy and cultured!

And people need to chill!! it's sheesha, and I bet it was her first time or something!!

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

Love her Rolex though

[pon-pon-pink.livejournal.com]

lol seriously? aren't hookah bars super popular in seoul though? at least the one's i went to were always packed.
and i know lots of people who don't smoke but enjoy a hookah from time to time. nothing bad.

apple and grape are the best flavours!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

That's me tbh
I don't smoke but give me a shisha and some corne de gazelle and I'm good to go

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

I mean, she can do whatever she wants obviously, but she had to know the kind of response she was gonna get when she posted it....

Also, hookah is SOOOOO bad for you *shudder*

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

yeah, i read *cough*on wiki*cough* that's it even worse that the usual cigarette(?) i've stopped thinking it's ok (for me) to enjoy one anymore ever since.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

I fucking hate narghile/ναργιλέδες and my friends always drag me to some cafe that has them :/

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

i wanna slap bitches hookahs isnt the same as smoking check yo facts before yo rekt yoself bitches #hookahlyf #CL #badgirls #doing #the #unni

[sakuragirl24.livejournal.com]

is hookah another word for shisha? haven't had shisha in so long wah
I like mint flavor hehe

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

yeah hookah is the english word, it's from the indian word I think

[burger.livejournal.com]

appleeeee

I don't care if she does it, it's different from smoking a cigarette (which I am also indifferent to idols doing) but damn idols don't care about their public image anymore lol they're forever posting stuff they KNOW will get them hate

[kaila-09.livejournal.com]

flawless gif

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

So smoking shisha is shocking now?
Oh okay.

Get a live people.

[greeds.livejournal.com]

i dont really care that she did it, but the pic was posted on insta and was bound to get attention and i understand where all the commenters are coming from. you cant expect her to post a picture like this and just smoothly move on by, people have their varying opinions that they would like to share, whether you like it or not.

[nyankee.livejournal.com]

We should expect that, though, because it's harmless and it's her Instagram, where she can post whatever the hell she wants because she's a fucking adult.

It's time to start holding fans to a higher standard, not talking about how it would behoove idols not to do what they want in their free time.

mte

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

ot, but I love her glasses and I want them!

[couturevibes.livejournal.com]

yes! MTE

[nimco.livejournal.com]

Double apple mint is my goto but I also like rose.

[stroplok.livejournal.com]

apple-mint is my go-to , if i'm at somewhere new..
this guy at the place i used hang out during the summer would always make these really weird but delicious mixes of like cola-mint-grape or something.
I don't really care about her smoking, but why is she wearing sunglasses indoors?

[dirtybeauty.livejournal.com]

For fashion I guess

[dirtybeauty.livejournal.com]

Well, since they are not doing as good as usually I guess this is a nice way to be talked about *shrugs*
She hangs with people whom are several smokers and goes to parties. I bet sisha is the healthier thing she does and I don't even care.

I don't think there is any around, but to the girls who posted things to Xin like ´please stop smoking in front of my CL´ as if he was commiting a capital sin, you can shut up now, thanks.

[nuravecunt.livejournal.com]

i knew she was going to get shit when this was posted

[martha-sal.livejournal.com]

hookah is basically flavored water steam, everybody can pipe down...
I personally love apple flavor most!

[evilsquidx.livejournal.com]

everyone can pipe down

[itsprincess.livejournal.com]

while we are on the subject of hookah... I finally got my O's down. I'm so happy:)

[dainty-empress.livejournal.com]

congrats bb :D

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I tried sheesha once and absoloutely loathed it. Its now banned in Pakistan (or atleast in islamabad) on account of how horrible it is for you and how many establishments were selling it to minors.
CL can do what she wants, it's her life, her choices.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Lol I never did but it seems some of mine & sister's friends did. I didn't even know it was a thing until sis told me one of her friends (all in their late teens/early 20s) had invited her to a hookah party & she promptly put the phone down on them.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

I'll just leave this here:

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

I always feel like the sets for his ridiculous songs are worse than the average Bollywood set and I'm like "lol whateva Akshay get those devalued Rs"

(lol why do I always end up talking Bollywood when I see your comments?)

[medi183.livejournal.com]

here for the perfect ryo ♥

[luvey.livejournal.com]

secretly, not so secretly, wishes "idols" post more of these harmless in the real world things that k & international netizens flip their shit over. shows they are human.

lawd forbid an idol do anything that isn't perfection or within the rule books of perfection in netizen eyes.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

People need to take a lesson from Hyoyeon and Min who post pics and videos of them clubbing raising their glasses.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

While hookah is not completely harmless, it's better than a cigarette. Especially if you only do it once in awhile.
There's a nice hookah bar in my town. I don't really do it much, but I'll go if my friends do.

[remmy90.livejournal.com]

Actually hookah is as harmful as, if not more harmful than cigs, it's just that is is not done as much as cigarettes. So people who are saying "Better than cigarettes", it's not.
