The network also expects that the year 2015 has "potential to be one of the biggest years for Asian pop".

CL's "mindset -- of wanting to not just stick around but also shake things up -- coupled with [her] skill as a performer has her poised to be a big deal in 2015, and to be the catalyst to pushing Asian pop music further into the West than it ever has before", MTV said on Friday.

CL signed a deal with Scooter Braun's SB Projects and is preparing for her U.S. debut next year.

Braun also helped PSY with projects in the U.S.
