TOP (former BIGBANG)'s performance in ”Squid Game 2” dominates Hot Topic...Strong ”likes and dislikes”

As the long-awaited Netflix drama "Squid Game 2" has finally been unveiled, attention is focused on the acting of TOP, former member of the group "BIGBANG".
"Squid Game" season 2 was released on Netflix at 5 p.m. on the 26th. It is the first new season in about three years since it took the world by storm in 2021.
Amid greater global anticipation than ever before, Squid Game 2 boasted unprecedented publicity both online and offline, but there was also a lot of concern.
This is because it was revealed that controversial entertainers such as actor Oh Dal Su and TOP would be appearing.
In particular, TOP, who has a drug conviction, is a participant in the main game in the play.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, "When I decided to cast her, a lot of time had passed, and the sentence had already been handed down and the execution had already been carried out.
"I thought that the grace period had ended and that it was time to start working again," he said. "However, many more people than I expected expressed their concerns, and I
"I thought that maybe what I thought might be wrong," he said. "I did a lot of research," he said, "I've already gone through a lot of processes, so I don't know why I chose this work."
I concluded that the only way to show whether I had to work with this actor was to show the results. I would like you to judge me again once the film is released."
In the end, it was said that TOP would appear in the film as is, but the controversy did not die down.
The production presentation of "Squid Game 2" and the scheduled round interviews were not included in the promotional schedule.
It was a TOP performance, and even more so because director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, "I want you to pay attention to the final product."
TOP is a former member of the hip-hop survival contest and a so-called "weak rapper"
He played the role of Nos, but due to the setting, TOP's real background would inevitably come to light, and there were concerns about whether wrapping would be able to blend in well with the drama.
Since the film was released, there have been a variety of reactions regarding TOP's acting, ranging from "likes" to "dislikes," but the general feeling is that the reactions are mostly negative.
Attention is focused on whether the risky "Squid Game 2" can achieve box office success comparable to that of the entire season.
Meanwhile, T.O.P. enlisted in the conscripted police in 2017, but in 2016 allegations of drug use at home were discovered belatedly and he was given a suspended sentence.
After that, he hinted at retirement and left BIGBANG, but eventually returned to the entertainment industry.
