He’s back, and he’s about to address everything in a highly anticipated interview. If you’ve been dying to know what really happened behind the scenes of T.O.P “Squid Game” Season 2 controversy, keep reading for all the juicy details!
Former BIGBANG T.O.P to Attend Official “Squid Game”Season 2 Interview
After a flurry of rumors, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Former BIGBANG member T.O.P will soon break his silence and talk about his comeback and the “Squid Game” Season 2 controversy in an upcoming interview.
On January 10, Korean media outlet OSEN revealed that former BIGBANG T.O.P has officially scheduled an upcoming interview on January 15. In this interview, T.O.P will finally talk about his appearance in “Squid Game”Season 2 and address the controversy.
This interview will mark his first major public appearance since the show’s release. For a while, T.O.P was deliberately left out of promotional activities—no interviews, no social media updates, nothing. In fact, “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong Hyuk even confirmed that the production team did it on purpose because they wanted him to speak when he was truly ready.
“We believe it would be best for him to speak about his role and his journey when he’s ready.”

And finally, T.O.P is now ready.
Breaking Silence on His Comeback Controversy
Recently, inside sources confirmed that T.O.P—real name Choi Seung Hyun—will be sitting down with reporters to address everything from his casting in “Squid Game” Season 2 to the ongoing controversy about his past.
While some critics insist he was brought in purely through personal connections with co-stars like Lee Byung Hun and Lee Jung Jae, director Hwang Dong Hyuk finally revealed that he was brought in after a discussion with the team. And now, the public believes that his performance as “Thanos” is strong enough to stand on its own.
Either way, this news proves T.O.P is ready to confront the “Squid Game” Season 2 controversy head-on.
Indeed, for longtime BIGBANG fans, this comeback feels like a long time coming. After the legal issues he faced in 2016, T.O.P stepped away from the public eye, leaving BIGBANG and choosing to reflect on his decisions. Years later, his silent demeanor has then evolved into a confident readiness to tackle questions about his personal life and professional future.
So, stay tuned—this interview offers a clearer picture of why he was missing from earlier promotional events and how he feels about his polarizing return.
Inside His Remarkable Performance as Thanos in “Squid Game” Season 2
Still, you might be asking: with all the commotion and controversy, is T.O.P’s performance in “Squid Game” Season 2 worth all the noise?
According to co-star Im Si Wan, absolutely!
Despite the T.O.P “Squid Game” controversy, those who’ve seen his scenes can’t help but admire the intensity he brought to his role as Thanos. This particular character was crafted to be gritty, edgy, and unpredictable—a perfect fit for T.O.P’s commanding presence.
Behind the scenes, Im Si Wan revealed that T.O.P’s dedication went as far as working through a fractured rib. They were filming an intense confrontation at the time until suddenly, T.O.P broke his rib in the process. But instead of stopping, he continued and poured every bit of energy into the role.
“When filming action scenes, the moment the director calls ‘action’ is when actors need to completely lose themselves in the role—it’s the ultimate opportunity to immerse oneself.
We were truly committed to the scene, to the point where we were momentarily airborne. During that process, Seung Hyun-hyung (T.O.P) ended up fracturing his rib.
I know how painful a broken rib feels. Even a slight hit can cause significant pain. It was difficult to breathe.
Honestly, the filming should have stopped at that point. But he persisted and kept on going without showing any concern.
It made me realize that someone with his level of experience, as a former member of BIGBANG and a top-tier entertainer, truly operates on a different level.”

This real-life testimony is a reminder of what made T.O.P a star in the first place: a fearless commitment to the craft. Also, it’s real evidence that behind all the “Squid Game” Season 2 controversy, T.O.P remains a performer who still has a lot more to offer.
A New Chapter for T.O.P as Choi Seung Hyun
In the end, his impeccable performance as Thanos in “Squid Game” Season 2 has successfully trumped all the controversy surrounding his past. While his chapter as a BIGBANG member has come to an end, this is only the beginning of T.O.P’s journey as Choi Seung Hyun.
By deciding to open up in a new interview, he is now taking control of his narrative, reminding the world that his story doesn’t end with past mistakes or industry gossip.
Instead, it’s a tale of resilience, talent, and a willingness to grow despite the hurdles.
So, will this moment mark a fresh start for the BIGBANG rapper-turned-actor? We just can’t wait to see what else he has in store.
