Recently, the event "TUDUM 2025" held in Los Angeles (USA) attracted attention when it released the official trailer of "Squid Game 3" - the final season of this hit survival series.
However, the biggest surprise of the show did not come from the movie but from the appearance of T.O.P - a former member of the Big Bang group.
To promote the long-awaited final film, the two main actors Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun stepped onto the stage, briefly introducing themselves and sharing: "We went with a few friends from Korea".
Immediately after that, T.O.P stepped onto the stage with a calm demeanor but could not hide his emotions. He opened the audience with a simple greeting: "What's going on? I know you will be surprised but I cannot miss this opportunity".
This is the first time T.O.P has officially returned to the stage since 2017 - when he announced his withdrawal from Big Bang after his military discharge, after being involved in a scandal involving banned substances.
Since then, the male idol has very limited his participation in artistic activities, only appearing through personal art projects and most recently the role of rapper Thanos in "Squid Game 2".
The moment T.O.P stood next to the "Squid Game 3" stars, walking on the international stage, moved his fans. He is back for real, I hope to have a reunion with the Big Bang members, are comments for T.O.Ps comeback.
This event marks an important milestone not only for fans but also for T.O.P. He also gave a press interview while Squid Game 2 aired. Without avoiding it, the male idol surprised many people when he directly mentioned the past involved in scandals, showing his courage and determination to start over.
He frankly admitted that removing Big Bang's name was because he did not want his own scandal to be related to the members. At the same time, he said that he had not kept in touch with Big Bang for too long because he did not want to bother them.
After the interview, many fans supported his return to Big Bang. However, T.O.P still frankly denied the reunion rumors.
"The name "T.O.P" in the introduction on social networks has existed for a long time, it has not been added or renewed. T.O.P's view of Big Bang is still the same as what he expressed in a recent interview," the T.O.P representative emphasized.
