”Squid Game 2” Director Hwang Dong-hyuk couldn't find a reason to cast TOP (BIGBANG)? = Synopsis / Spoilers

*This article contains spoilers. "Why did I have to work with this actor on this project? In the end, I had no choice but to show it to the reporters and the viewers.
"We concluded that there was no need to withdraw the decision and decided to proceed," said Hwang Dong-hyuk, director of the Netflix original series "Squid Game."
This was the answer given when asked why he cast IGBANG's TOP (Choi Seung-hyun). Director Hwang said at a press conference in August, "Maybe you've seen the film, but I think you've seen the film.
If you read this, you will know that this was not an easy decision for us to make, and that actor Choi Seung-hyun himself also understood that it was not easy to do this work."
However, even after the preview screening for Korean reporters on the 23rd, the casting of TOP was not accepted.
TOP is a fierce battle between Ki-hoon (Lee Jung Jae), who returns to join the game with a vow of revenge, and the frontman (Lee Byung Hun) who welcomes him.
He will appear as rapper Thanos in "Squid Game Season 2," which will feature a real game that will begin again. Thanos is the son of Myung-gi (Im Siwan), a cryptocurrency investment company.
After watching a YouTube video, he invested all in a certain coin, but lost the money and joined the game. From the moment he first appeared, he shouted at Myung-gi, saying, "It's your fault," and threatened him, heightening the tension of the film.
He needs to be able to create a sense of menace and tension, like he did in season 1 as Jang Deok Soo (Heo Seong Tae), a game outlaw.
He must be able to act well, but his acting skills are far beyond that. Perhaps he is obsessed with performing well, conscious of the criticism surrounding him, and he is not able to do well in the way he walks, his pronunciation, and even his acting.
Even his gaze is exaggerated, but this appearance rather disrupts the flow of the work. In particular, it is problematic that TOP, who has been the subject of controversy for his drug use, is portrayed as a "drug-addicted rapper."
It is unclear how viewers will respond to the fact that he was released from "BIGBANG" and made it clear that he had no intention of returning, and is now playing a drug addict.
Perhaps due to the controversy, TOP has not been present at any promotional activities for "Squid Game 2." Thanos has been breaking the rules from the very beginning,
It is a pity that TOP was unable to properly handle this important role, which signals a change in the show. Not only did it become a burden to the show's promotion, but it also resulted in the show being criticized for being "a bit of a joke."
I'm worried that this will dampen the success of Season 2. The series is more detailed than Season 1, which was the number one hit in Netflix's history, and has returned to a tense psychological battle feast.
Season 2 was a big disappointment. I watched all 7 episodes of Season 2, and I couldn't understand why Director Hwang chose him.
I couldn't find it anywhere.
