T.O.P’s actions on the occasion of BIGBANG’s 18th debut anniversary dampened the celebratory mood for fans.
On August 19, BIGBANG marked their 18th debut anniversary, a significant day for the K-pop group that has now reached legendary status. G-Dragon and Taeyang each posted messages celebrating the milestone, interacting with fans and tagging Daesung, showcasing their continued camaraderie.
However, the celebratory atmosphere was disrupted by a former member who was effectively removed from the group. While Seungri, who was ousted from the Korean entertainment industry due to the “Burning Sun scandal”, remains silent, T.O.P drew negative attention by blocking fans who tagged him in their 18th debut anniversary posts.
This behavior has led to a heavy atmosphere among BIGBANG fans. The frustration is palpable as T.O.P, who gained fame through BIGBANG, appears to be distancing himself from the group, further aggravating fans. Their criticisms have been flooding in.
One fan’s lengthy post garnered hundreds of likes, criticizing T.O.P by stating, “T.O.P is just like a child, doing whatever he wants. He’s the worst at fan management and communication in BIGBANG. Despite his so-called ‘artistic’ persona, he has shown nothing to justify it.”
This fan pointed out T.O.P’s lack of achievements outside of BIGBANG, noting, “He has shown nothing. As a singer with no albums to his name, all he has are songs with childish lyrics like ‘Turn It Up’ and ‘Doom Dada’. Unlike G-Dragon, who has succeeded publicly, or Taeyang, who is recognized musically, T.O.P has never released an album in 14 years and pretends to be an artist, a singer.”
The fan further criticized T.O.P’s personality, saying, “T.O.P benefited the most from BIGBANG’s artist image thanks to G-Dragon and Taeyang. His personality is so selfish that it’s disqualifying not only as an idol but as a person. The popularity and wealth he enjoys, even after 8 years without work, are thanks to BIGBANG’s legacy, yet he acts so arrogantly.”
The fan’s post has resonated with many, with numerous BIGBANG fans sharing similar sentiments, expressing their disappointment and frustration with T.O.P’s recent behavior and decisions.
