YG Entertainment has apologized over 2NE1’s recent comeback stage.

After 2NE1’s comeback stage on SBS’ Inkigayo for the group’s new single I Love You was met withstrong criticism for its use of live animals during the performance, YG Entertainment has issued an apology.

The July 8 comeback stage for 2NE1 utilized a live parrot and swans for the group’s comeback stage which was met with fierce debate.

However, YG Entertainment finally spoke up about the issue saying, “We enlisted the help of animal trainers and other animal experts and did the stage performance with their consultation. If our efforts to create a good performance brought discomfort to viewers we apologize. We will focus on being more careful in the future.”

Watch the performance at the center of debate below!

Many people actually feel really uncomfortable watching the performance. You can see how uncomfortable the parrot is since she moves too much -- and the poor bird can't fly away from her shoulder since it's feet were tied to her jacket. >.>

thats like a sorry we're not sorry.

An "I'm sorry you were uncomfortable but shit was legit so i'm not sorry i did it and you're not gonna make me feel bad when I didn't do anything wrong."

"If our efforts to create a good performance brought discomfort to viewers we apologize"

But the animals did nothing to enhance their performance though. And the parrot freaking out worried me.

I'm okay with it if the animal trainers thought it was fine. I trust them to know best, I guess/I hope.
But jeez did Cl have to jostle the bird so much. Poor thing kept almost falling off.

did they superglue the parrot's feet because it looked like it DID not want to be anywhere near CL and was struggling to fly away.

this is YG's way of trying to create some more attention for no reason or make them seem more 'out of the norm/different'. it's just tacky and not tasteful.

i was super scared for that parrot, tbh.
they shouldn't apologize to us, they should apologize to the poor animals that suffered so much stress in order to "create a good performance" and never do it again.

the parrot looks like it's trying eat something on cl's hair. and did the parrot start parroting cl's rap? lol!

i enjoyed the performance and thought the animals added something different visually. but in hindsight, it really wasn't in the best interest of the animals. :o(

i wouldn't call it animal abuse but i do think yg wasted time and money training birds to perform those shitty songs instead of just training them to attack seungri antis instead

I had no idea why that parrot was there really

For some reason in my mind I thought they decided 2NE1 was going to do a pirate concept for this intro and was like oh ok.

The parrot looked fine to me. At the end of the day everyone went back home alive. It's not like they grabbed a parrot from the amazon and took it onstage it was a trained parrot and a pre-recorded stage.

NGL I loled so hard at the parrot because his ass was hanging on for dear life. He was pecking the shit out of her head as if it was trying to tell her "bitch stop moving damn!"

Anyway, I really love the performance. The parrot thing was something I never seen before so when she walked on stage with it I was kinda stunned and amused by it since its something only 2ne1 would and can only do. People are overreacting. The birds weren't harmed and were only up there for like 5 minutes. You faux PETA need to sit down somewhere that doesn't have a stick poke you in your asses. rme

I wouldn't go as far as to claim it animal abuse, but the bird was unnessecary. YG really needs to stop making the girls look like try-hards. It's not endearing anymore.

Animal trainers/experts, huh? Meh.. I'm sure it's all okayed by them as long as they're getting paid. Reallly not buying this bs apology. Using animals was really more of a distraction, tbh, which is a shame because I think the girls are fierce enough on their own.

totally agree, the parrot was particularly distracting

So many people don't understand how trained birds work. If it was in distress it would have been squawking. It was using its beak to hold on to her head. Yeah she was moving around a lot, but the parrot was just holding on (not for dear life- it's legs weren't attached- it's trained to stay there). It was a little distracting, but YG didn't do anything wrong. And the swans...weird choice, but they were just chillin, so I see no reason to be bothered.

I was about to say that if it was in distress we wouldnt have heard it squawking because of the loud music, but then I remembered it was right by CL's mic. I agree with your comment.

Ngl that made me really uncomfortable. It kind of ruined the song for me, not to mention the stage was a "hot" mess anyways.

Imo the parrot was unnecessary and CL did not look comfortable with it because she was always trying to worm/dance herself away from it (and it was really distracting). But the swans were pretty. And I don't think they YG did anything wrong. It's like hiring animal/animal trainers for a birthday or an MV shoot. It didn't look like the birds were under any particular unreasonable stress~
