They remind me of myself with self-love and this positive energy with the way that they love their fans.”

It's great hearing celebrities like Lizzo and Emma Stone stan 2NE1. They were that group when they were active. It's not that K-Pop groups only became talented in the past few years. Rather, the rest of the world needed more time to find out about their talents. It's not fair to compare the accomplishments of newer groups with older ones bc the older groups would be just as big if they had enough eyes and ears on them the way the groups today hae.
