As Top (Choi Seung-hyun), who left Big Bang, was added to Big Bang's official channel, speculation about the reunion is rising.

In the introduction to the Big Bang channel, there were three names except Top, Taeyang, and Daesung, but the name of Top was recently added.

After the end of the exclusive contract with YG Entertainment in 2022, Top officially announced his withdrawal from Big Bang the following year. At the same time as he announced his withdrawal, Top, who deleted all Big Bang-related references from his profile, posted a picture of himself drawing an "X" in the "Big Bang" part of the article specified as "Big Bang Top", adding to the shock of fans. In addition, it was reported that Top blocked fans who mentioned Big Bang and blocked SNS with G-Dragon, and rumors of a loss were raised.

However, when asked about rejoining the Big Bang, "I've made a lot of mistakes," "I've thought a lot about it, but I have no shame. It's a long time before I go back", he said firmly.
