Choi Seung-hyun, also known as former Big Bang member T.O.P., will meet the press for the first time in eight years as part of the promotion for "Squid Game" (2021-), where he is set to discuss his much-debated participation in the Netflix original.

Choi Seung-hyun talks about returning to acting after a long pause as breakout character Thanos in Squid Game season 2.

Writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk lauded the actor-rapper Choi Seung-hyun, aka T.O.P., for making a comeback and taking on the role of Thanos on Squid Game. In 2017, T.O.P. was found guilty of using marijuana and convicted.

Love him or hate him, Thanos has taken the Squid Game fandom by storm — and he shares some wild parallels with the man who plays him.

In first interview in 11 years, K-pop star with BigBang reflects on ‘lost years’, how he saw playing Thanos in Netflix series and the future.
