Recently, Netflix released a promotional video for Korean content, featuring TV star Martha Stewart, rapper Lil Yachty and rapper and actor T.O.P (former member of Big Bang).
In the video, Martha Stewart is immersed in Korean entertainment shows and dramas on Netflix. She watched many films such as "When Life Is for You", "Squid Game", "The Place of the deepening"... She even wore a T-shirt printed with the poster of the movie "W strange Lawyer Woo Young Woo".
At the end of the video, Martha Stewart unexpectedly meets T.O.P (Choi Seung Hyun) - the star of Squid Game. T.O.P expressed his affection for Martha Stewart by reenacting his famous release-heart scene in Squid Game 2.
The noteworthy thing about this segment is Jennie's (Blackpink) song "Like Jennie" that resounded when T.O.P appeared. Although it was just a short moment, the unexpected collaboration between T.O.P and Jennie's music immediately attracted attention.
In the comments section, many viewers mentioned the two artists as part of YG Family.
T.O.P and Jennie are members of famous Kpop groups, debuting under the management of YG Entertainment.
In 2017, T.O.P was involved in an illegal medical use scandal, leading to a 10-month suspended sentence. After the scandal, the male idol continued to work with the group Big Bang through the release of the song "Still Life", even though he left YG in early 2022.
In 2023, T.O.P confirmed his departure from Big Bang, following some speculation from fans. He has also almost disappeared from the entertainment industry since then.
In December 2024, T.O.P returned to work as an actor, playing the role of Thanos in Squid Game 2.
Jennie has also ended her individual contract with YG since the end of 2023. She founded her own company OA Entertainment and signed a contract with the American record label Columbia Records to develop her solo career.
For many years, T.O.P and the Blackpink members have not had any back-and-forth interaction, even though they were colleagues at the same management company.
