In the drama, TOP will play the role of "Thanos," a former rapper who was a runner-up in a hip-hop survival competition.
TOP said, "Thanos is a retired rapper, but after watching a YouTuber's video about rare techniques and famous moves, he decided to invest all the money he had earned into the project.
However, he ended up losing a lot of money and started participating in the game. Prior to this, TOP's image was not seen in the main poster, and it was edited out due to public backlash.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to show why I have to work on this project with this actor is through the final product. Please make your decision after the film is released."
Meanwhile, in July 2017, TOP was sentenced to 10 months in prison with a two-year suspended sentence and a fine of 12,000 won for allegedly smoking marijuana. After that, TOP left BIGBANG.
She later announced her retirement from showbiz, then later retracted it.
