Following T.O.P’s appearance on ‘Squid Game’ season 2, fans started speculating about his return to the K-pop boyband, BIGBANG. The rumours found footing after fans noticed that BIGBANG’s official YouTube account still lists T.O.P as a member. Moreover, T.O.P’s Instagram profile description also mentions the description- “T.O.P Choi Seung Hyun.” However, now the singer-actor’s representative as well as BIGBANG’s agency has clarified the issue.

On February 11, T.O.P’s representative clarified, “The name ‘T.O.P has consistently been listed in Choi Seung Hyun’s profile from the beginning.” They added, “As he mentioned during the ‘Squid Game 2’ interview, he feels apologetic to the members, and there have been no discussions related to BIGBANG.” His representative iterated the singer’s previous response clarifying that he has no intention to return to the K-pop group.
