Squid Game <\/em>star Choi Seung-hyun, better known by his stage name T.O.P, was formerly part of the K-pop group BIGBANG<\/a>. In 2017, the actor-singer was sentenced to 10 months in prison. He was convicted of marijuana use, which led to his departure from BIGBANG in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly two years after leaving the group, T.O.P finally spoke about his exit from BIGBANG.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with Sports Kyunghang, he said, “I caused great harm to both BIGBANG and my former company due to past mistakes. After completing my military service<\/a>, I went to the members and YG Entertainment and told them I would leave the group.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added, “Now, I have to move forward on my own, and I believe I must endure the criticism that comes with it. If I were to return to the team that I caused harm to, the team\/members would also be labeled for the past mistakes that I made, and I wouldn’t be able to face them. The suffering within me is so great that I’ve been saying for a long time that I want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about his current equations with the members<\/a>, T.O.P said that due to his “immense guilt”, he hasn’t been in contact with the members of BIGBANG. “Maybe when more time has passed and I find peace, I’ll be able to contact them,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked if he would return to BIGBANG, T.O.P reiterated that he has no intentions of rejoining the group. He said, “The mistakes I made were far too significant…I have no right, and it’s been too long to return.”<\/p>\n

T.O.P admitted that he “does not have the emotional space” to think about his future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just want to be a sincere musician and actor. My goal is to become an actor who can show off the person I’ve grown into during those dark times,” he concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
