The first single from CL's first full-length album 'ALPHA' has been partially unveiled.

The title of this new song is 'SPICY', and CL raised expectations by releasing a music video teaser video.

At 6pm KST on August 19th, the first music video teaser video of 'SPICY', which was released on CL's official SNS channel, showed CL and several dancers standing together with a huge LED with unique patterns in the background. Then, the title of this single was revealed as the letters 'SPICY', which had an impressive metallic design, were completed and disappeared.

The intense beat flowing in the background of the teaser video foretells that this 'SPICY' will be a hip-hop song that will capture CL's unique charisma like 'Bad Girl' and 'Hello Bitches'.

'SPICY', like the first single from 'ALPHA', was made by great actor John Malkovich and added a special touch.

The words 'ENERGY', 'POWER', and 'CHEMISTRY' heard at the beginning of the teaser video are also part of the narration that John Malkovich participated in this 'SPICY'.

John Malkovich, who made a relationship with CL through the movie 'Mile22', has continued to maintain a good relationship as a mentor by giving advice to CL. It is rumored that the narration of this new song also willingly participated in CL's request.

CL's first single 'SPICY' is finally unveiling after a long wait.

In addition, CL will release the second single of 'ALPHA' in September, starting with 'SPICY' this time, and the entire 'ALPHA' album in October.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
