The audience is curious about the relationship between Lee Byung Hun and T.O.P after the two appeared together in Squid Game 2.

Recently, a video of Korean actor Lee Byung Hun appearing on the American late-night talk show, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, is gaining attention.

In it, Lee Byung Hun shared many humorous experiences related to the "Squid Game" series in which he played the main character, and the reaction of relatives in the family when they learned about the identity of the "final boss" opposing Front Man played by Lee Byung Hun.

According to Lee Byung Hun, his 10-year-old son is quite close to T.O.P (real name Choi Seung Hyun, former member of Big Bang) - who took on the role of Thanos in Squid Game 2, so his son blamed Lee Byung Hun for knowing him to play the evil role in the series.

The actor shared: I think my son listens to a friend at school talk about the film. One day, he looked very sad and asked me: "Why are you so evil?".

I was very surprised and asked again: "Why do you say that?". It said: "I killed too many people".

My son is very close to T.O.P, so he said, Why are you doing this to him?. At that time, I just wanted to scream: Doc is just acting. He is that evil character. This is filming and that is what I have to do. My father is an actor.

Lee Byung Hun's sharing made the audience curious about his relationship with T.O.P. Many comments mentioned the 54-year-old actor's collaboration with T.O.P in the TV series "Icesan nomination" aired in 2009.

The audience speculates that Lee Byung Hun and T.O.P have maintained a good relationship since then. T.O.P's closeness to Lee Byung Hun's son also shows that T.O.P is a very familiar face to his senior's relatives, possibly T.O.P and Lee Byung Hun's family often visit.

In 2020, T.O.P showed off that he had received a gift from Lee Byung Hun. Inside the gift box, Lee Byung Hun texted T.O.P with the words: "To my younger brother Choi Seung Hyun", revealing the close relationship between the two stars.

Recently, on puppy Interview, Lee Byung Hun once again talked about his familiarity with T.O.P.

The actor born in 1970 said that when he acted with T.O.P in Squid Game, he felt like he was teaching his own son.

In a January interview, Lee Byung Hun also praised T.O.P's performance as Thanos.

Lee Byung Hun commented that T.O.P fully portrayed an interesting character: "That character possesses a source of energy and khi chat that is hard for ordinary people to understand. When reading the script, I thought, I don't know who will be chosen for this role but it will definitely stand out."

In addition to Lee Byung Hun, T.O.P is known to have a close relationship with the male lead Lee Jung Jae of Squid Game.

When T.O.P was announced to be in the cast of Squid Game 2, there were rumors that the male singer received the role thanks to the help of Lee Jung Jae.

But the 52-year-old actor and director Hwang Dong Hyuk both denied it, saying that T.O.P passed the audition to get the role of Thanos. The director affirmed that he did not choose actors based on acquaintances, but entirely based on the suitability of the character.
