T.O.P "going through the back door" still enjoys a huge amount of sand, the question of BIGBANG in Squid Game 2?

Returning to the screen with "Squid Game 2", it seemed that he would be supported, but T.O.P was constantly entangled in mixed opinions. From getting the role, acting to his salary, it all made the audience outraged.

Recently, South Korea's Tvreport has just published an article with a shocking revelation about T.O.P's appearance in "Squid Game 2". Specifically, this page said that although the screen time is not too much, the male singer still receives a huge salary, up to 300 million won (about 5.2 billion VND) for each episode.

In addition, the news site also speculated that T.O.P's role was due to his close relationship with the male lead Lee Jung Jae and director Hwang Dong Hyuk: "There is no way to escape the suspicion that it is casting based on personal relationships."

The above revelations of Tvreport have sparked a wave of outrage from Korean netizens, although it has not been confirmed by insiders. The audience thinks that T.O.P is completely unworthy of the "huge" salary. Not to mention the issue of personal life, just the fact that he is an actor who "slips" in the middle of a cast that is too excellent, has made Knet feel that the number of 300 million won is too big.

If it is paid for fame, it is not really reasonable when the former BIGBANG member is not a very hot name in Korea. "You can't teach the rich how to spend money, but if this number is real, Netflix is really wasteful"; "The number is even higher than some A-list and S-grade actors"; "Do you really dare to admit it?"; "Acting like that, I shouldn't accept the salary because I was given the opportunity to go to school by NSX"... are the comments left by netizens in the land of kimchi.

It must be admitted that since the announcement of the cast of "Squid Game 2" until now, T.O.P has always been the most mentioned name, even though he has not participated in promoting the film for a single session. After the official release of the film, the information surrounding the male singer is even hotter than ever. The media, Korean audiences constantly criticized his limited acting skills as well as the fact that he took on a role that was close to his own in real life.

Specifically, in the film, T.O.P plays Thanos - a rapper who often criticizes banned substances. After falling into debt because of investing on the recommendation of YouTuber Lee Myung Gi (played by Im Si Wan ), Thanos joined squid game with the ambition to change his life.

However, Thanos is not serious about any game, always being a disruptor, flirting with girls and even "physically impacting" others. This performance of T.O.P received many mixed opinions, some praised while most of the audience thought that his exaggerated acting ruined the whole work.

Another detail that attracted special attention from the public was in the third game called "Mingle", when the wooden horse wheel began to spin, Thanos played by T.O.P swung his arms back and forth in the air. Watching the clip recording this moment, many people immediately remembered the typical dance in BIGBANG's hit " BANG BANG BANG ", and talked about it wildly. There is also an opinion that the guy is questioning the old group.

Remember at the beginning of 2022, T.O.P suddenly announced that he would not continue to accompany YG Entertainment after more than 1 decade of association. Despite leaving the company, the male artist still participates in BIGBANG's music projects. After that, the group released the song "Still Life", marking their return to the four-member lineup.

However, at the end of May 2023, T.O.P caused a stir when he directly confirmed that he was no longer a member of BIGBANG through responding to comments from the audience. "I have withdrawn. Since last year, I have been telling you that I am leaving and now I am in a new chapter in my life," he said.

In addition, the male singer also directly crossed out the phrase BIGBANG after his name and shared an article saying that he had left the group. This move made fans feel confused because it was so unintentional.
