CL

In recognition of her stage presence and duality, The Guardian ranked CL as the 19th best girl group member of all time in October 2019, and was the highest ranking of the two K-pop artists to have been mentioned.

CL is the first-ever K-pop artist to perform on the famous American late-night talk show, ‘The Late Late Show' with James Corden in 2016 with her single "Lifted".

Daisy Jones of Dazed Magazine stated in an article "Why CL is the most fearless fashion icon in K-Pop" that "her fashion status extends far beyond an avalanche of labels and designer name-checks – like Rihanna, she's an effortless risk-taker, with her eyes firmly facing the future."

Valorant's in game character 'Jett' design was partially inspired by CL

In 2016, she became the first female K-pop idol to appear on Hypebeast's list of 100 Innovators.
