CL posted this tweet earlier today…
And a number of alleged BLACKPINK fans thought it was shade against Jennie as it coincided in the time ‘SOLO’ was released.
We love a shady legend

With initial reactions claiming CL was targeting Jennie’s release, CL took it into her own hands to clear the air. She wasn’t referring to Jennie, she was only celebrating Dara‘s birthday! Dara’s nickname has been ‘rabbit/bunny’ since their 2NE1 days.
Duhh

BLACKJACKs soon jumped onto the threads to explain to the salty netizens that the only rabbit in CL’s book is the adorable Dara!

CL’s Rabbit & Tiger tweet was in fact preceded and followed by multiple tweets about Dara’s (and CL’s mom’s) birthday, further putting shade rumors to rest.

“+I thought this was Ssantokki (Sandara Rabbit) but it was Junsuke Yamasaki Rabbit😂+ #Sorry” — CL
The response online was supportive especially after fans found proof that it wasn’t shade thrown against Jennie at all.
CL doesnt NEED to tweet about BLACKPINK or Jennie. like she doesnt tweet about iKON nor Winner neither like its not obligated for labelmates to promote each other unless they want to but it’s not a fucking obligation.

In fact, they found evidence that CL was supportive of her fellow YG Entertainment artist.
CL liked a tweet saying “STREAM #JENNIESOLO” Can y’all fuck off assuming she’s throwing shade now? pic.twitter.com/eXi8mfU3IO

This is so embarrassing 🤦♀️ stop hating CL and stop assuming that the tweet is a shade for Jennie 🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/8wsvKXyTgb

Many soon began to assume that CL’s tweet was low-key aimed against YG Entertainment considering how she was left on the sidelines, having her solo US album on an indefinite halt for years.
ME TOO

At the end of the day, Queens celebrate Queens.
Sandara Park mentions BLACKPINK “There are many 2NE1 fans who transferred”
2NE1 member-singer Sandara Park expressed her candid thoughts about fandom
On Nov 10th, a video featuring Sandara Park was uploaded on the YouTube channel “Bam House”.
In the video, Sandara Park, along with GOT7 BamBam, proceeded with a heart-to-heart talk about their lives in the entertainment industry and recent situations.
BamBam asked, “Did any Filipino celebrity ask you out?” Sandara Park surprised everyone by saying, “A lot. Since a long time ago.”
When BamBam asked “When will you get married?“, Sandara Park shared a different perspective, “Actually, I prefer to live celibate lifestyle. I can’t really say that out loud because I canceled 2% before. As we live, we could start to like things that I didn’t like, right? Later on, when I say I’m getting married, my friends may criticize me so much… I opened up 2% of chance because maybe I could get married.”
Sandara Park also brought up stories related to her activities with 2NE1.
She expressed regret, “The fandom became really small. Because our group parted away and there are fans who moved to other groups. Coachella festival stage was the 1st stage as 2NE1 after 7 years.”
To the question “How about coming back as 2NE1?“, Sandara Park mentioned her desire for a comeback, “I would like to and there are many suggestions, but it’s not being done yet.”
She confessed, “There are also many fans who transferred. A lot transferred to BLACKPINK. People who liked our style could transfer like that.”
BamBam showed support, “I still listen to past songs of 2NE1 sometimes. If 2NE1 comes back, regardless of fan transfer or vacancy of fan activity, and all other things, I think they will all come back and gather up.”
Sandara Park expressed her anticipation, “Since our fans are usually hiding, I thought there are no more fans. But this time, when I prepared album and held meeting with marketing team, I said I don’t think fans would come. And they came back again. The stages made me cry. I felt like that alone so if 4 of us gather up, I think all fans will come back.“
