Top will meet with reporters at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 15th for a promotional interview for the original Netflix series 'Squid Game 2'. Top was not initially listed on the interview list and promotional list, but he appears to have responded to requests from several reporters. Rather than directly mentioning the controversy so far, it is also a point to watch whether the tower, which has not opened its mouth, will directly answer various controversies surrounding him.
Top is a former rapper of Big Bang and was sentenced in 2017 for smoking cannabis before joining the army, and later completed his military service as a social service worker after being released from his position as a medical police officer. As a result, he was sentenced for smoking cannabis and even announced his retirement, and was criticized for making an easy return with 'Squid Game 2' on his back. He announced his retirement in 2020 when he fought with fans, but eventually did not retire, and showed an attitude of reversing his retirement by attending the VIP premiere of the 2022 film 'Emergency Declaration' and appearing on the photo wall.
He also started filming 'Squid Game 2' beginning in 2023, before showing his acting to the world in 2024. Criticism ensued as he proudly returned to his home turf through 'Squid Game 2', even fighting with his fans, saying, `I will never return.' Attention is focusing on whether Top will reveal the story of his retirement reversal through an interview.

If there were no disagreement on acting skills, the controversy over casting network would have subsided, but the controversy continued due to the divided likes and dislikes of acting skills. It was pointed out that the play's immersion was hindered by the exaggerated acting of Top, who played the drug-drunk rapper Thanos in the play. It was the tower that had to show a mad performance, but unfortunately, the lack of acting left viewers only questions, and despite having to instill tension in the play as a villain, he quietly left compared to Si-wan and Kang Ha-neul. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk caught acting by doing script reading several times, and even showed a lot of effort and talent in front of reporters", he praised, but the result was completely different from what he expected, so he only added questions.
Top is an old actor who has acted in various works. He also starred in 'Iris' (2009) and ' Into the Saturation' (2010). Attention is focusing on what kind of story he will tell in front of reporters for the first time in 11 years.
