After coming under fire for its use of a swan and a parrot during the band’s first performance for the song “I Love You,” 2NE1’s agency has apologized to the public for the insensitive gesture.
A spokesperson for YG Entertainment said that although they did have animal experts on hand on the set of SBS’ “Popular Songs” on July 8, that they were “sorry for offending some members of the public. They just wanted to create a stage spectacular like no other; from now on the band will try to be more sensitive.”
On the aforementioned show, the girl group performed its new song with CL appearing on stage with a parrot on her shoulder while a live swan was used as decoration.
After the performance, many were shocked at the group’s decision to include live animals in its act; netizens for most parts said that it was “too much.”
Some thought that it was borderline animal cruelty.
Meanwhile, editor of an environmental magazine OhBoy! denounced the band for its poor judgment.
“It’s a pity to see such a talented group making a poor decision. Animals get stressed out under the lights used at studios,” said Kim Hyun-sung.

Date: 2012-07-12 07:37 pm (UTC)But the animals weren't necessary and it didn't help the stage. I just feel like YG is so damn full of himself and he does so very little to play to 2NE1's strengths. They are NOT my favorite group but they DO have positive traits he could be exemplifying but instead he keeps throwing weird outfits on them and making all these little promotional "tactics" and it's just annoying to me.

Date: 2012-07-13 02:11 am (UTC)well yg didn't think it was just a fucking bird since they bought it for that "performance", ask their accountant if it's just a fucking bird.
you look so dumb rn, this is 2012 ppl care about animals so get over it. do you want a cookie for this comment? are you actually going to bring up an argument in support of this situation or is this the best you can do?
