Article Former BIGBANG's T.O.P will not attend the interview for 'Squid Game Season 2'
I find it so crazy how hard the Korean public is making it for TOP to return to the acting/entertainment industry…
Also, I am by no means defending what he did. I know that in SK, any sort of drug use is against the law. What I don't like is why he is having so much trouble returning to the Korean entertainment world when he paid fines and already suffered a backlash from the public (which I would argue that the Korean public is one of the harshest). There are so many other Korean celebrities that have either committed crimes and had nothing done about them or managed to return to the entertainment industry like nothing happened. Why should TOP be able to do the same? Not to mention TOP is actually a very impressive and capable actor! Squid Games 2 seems like it would be one of the best kind of roles for TOP given his kind of crazy, funny personality. Maybe it's just me coming from the States and knowing that drugs are such a normal thing for both celebrities and citizens to do A good example of this is in SK, Koreans LOVE Robert Downey Jr. for his Iron Man role, but do they even know how much drugs RDJ used to do? He not only served time in prison, he drove a convertible naked while throwing what he thought were rats out of the car (bc he was hallucinating), and he also one time snuck into a random family's house and got into bed with their kid. If you look at RDJ and TOP they don't even compare, but again it's the double standard. I just really hope one day TOP will be able to show he's more then his mistake and hopefully the Korean public will be more accepting.
