Background and development

On September 23, 2016, YG Entertainment announced that CL would hold her first American tour. She will visit nine cities in North America, with a total of nine shows.^[1][2] The tour's name derives from CL's 2015 Korean language single "Hello Bitches". The tour's announcement followed the release of CL's debut American single "Lifted" on August 19, amid news of an upcoming English-language debut EP. The sold-out show at the Hammerstein Ballroom^[3][4] made her the first Korean female singer to play a solo concert at a major venue in New York City.^[5] An unreleased music video of "Hello Bitches" was also played during the tour.

Controversy

On November 7, fans and concertgoers had noticed that CL had been using the "controversial" version of her song "MTBD (Mental Breakdown)" since the tour started. CL apologized on her Twitter account stating that her "engineer [had] sent the old version for [the] tour".^[6] CL performed the alternative version for the later shows.^[7]
