BIGBANG's Top (Choi Seung Hyun), who caused the "cannabis scandal," is appearing in "Squid Game 2, causing controversy every day. SBS reported on the 7th that "Top appears in the drama as an idol who retired from singing in the past." "For the character, they were looking for an actor who could rap as well as dance and director Hwang Dong-hyuk personally chose Top," said SBS. The problem is that Top, who had declared that he would not make a comeback after causing social controversy by inhaling cannabis, has reversed his statement. Top was sentenced to two years probation in October after going to trial for a cannabis case in 2017, and he was particularly adamant that he had no intention of returning to the entertainment industry. In response to a netizen who said, "Don't make a comeback," Top responded, "No! God, I don't want to do it either, just look at my animal pictures," and later reiterated in a live broadcast, "I won't make a comeback in Korea, I don't want to make a comeback at all." Director Hwang Dong-hyuk made the decision to cast him, who had expressed no intention of making a comeback. He couldn't have been unaware of the backlash and concern from the Korean public. Netflix noted that Top "has been an artist without boundaries, delivering impressive performances in films such as 'Tazza - The Hand of God' and 'Dongchangsang'." Top isn't the only actor who can "rap and dance." In the end, it seems that Hwang wanted to cast Top, who still has a strong global presence with over 16 million followers on Instagram, to increase the merchandising of "Squid Game 2," which will be broadcast to a global audience. Top's character also leaves a bittersweet note. If the reports are true, he plays a "retired idol," but Top has said that he doesn't want to make a comeback The reality of "Squid Game 2" will be kept alive, but it is unclear whether it will be able to remove the uncomfortable feelings of Korean viewers. Regarding Top's role, Netflix said, "It will be revealed later."
