A picture that Big Bang T.O.P uploaded unexpectedly… Unexpected ‘sarcasm’ is pouring in

A photo posted by Big Bang’s TOP on Instagram. The former member Seungri’s photo has been edited. It seems that T.O.P has expressed his will to comeback as a four-member group.

A photo uploaded by Big Bang member TOP is making netizens very angry.

BIGBANG posted a photo on Instagram on the 19th. It was a photo of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung posing together.

This photo is a part of the poster for BIGBANG’s album ‘MADE’, which was released in 2016. It was cut and uploaded of Seungri, who was a member at the time. T.O.P seems to have expressed his will for a four-member comeback by editing the image of Seungri, who left the team after being involved in ‘Burning Sun Gate’ in 2019.

Netizens who saw the photo showed a trembling reaction. It can’t be compared to Seungri, but Tower’s private life isn’t very clean either.

T.O.P was put on trial for smoking marijuana four times (violation of the Narcotics Control Act) with singer trainee Han Seo-hee (26, female) at his home in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on October 9-14, 2016. was sentenced to two years probation. T.O.P gave up his appeal and his sentence was confirmed.

Before the court’s verdict, TOP posted a handwritten apology on YG Entertainment’s website. He said, “I want to apologize with all my sincerity for causing a lot of disappointment and scandal due to my great mistake.

He said, “I think I deserve some kind of punishment for inflicting irreparable wounds to my fans and my family who have cared for me. It breaks my heart so much and I am also very disappointed with myself.”

Top was a police officer at the time of the court ruling. As it caused a lot of controversy in society, he was judged unsuitable for re-service examination and was expelled from the status of a police officer.

As the incident at that time was widely known, netizens’ eyes looking at the tower are not pretty. This is the reason why people are dissatisfied with T.O.P’s announcement of his will to comeback as a four-member Big Bang. In fact, netizens said, “It’s funny that TOP is doing this too”, “Is the drug sneaky?” “Do you think your actions are buried?” are reacting, etc.

Meanwhile, Seungri was imprisoned in the Armed Forces Prison after being sentenced to three years in prison and a fine of 1.156.9 million won on nine charges, including prostitution, at a trial last year for being involved in Burning Sun Gate. Burning Sun Gate refers to the gate of the entertainment industry and entertainment district that started with the club Burning Sun assault incident at the end of November 2018.

It started with a simple assault case that took place inside the Burning Sun Club. Apart from the assault case during the investigation, the police caught up with other suspicious points in Burning Sun itself, raising suspicions of collusion between the Burning Sun club and the police, drug use and tax evasion. Then, suspicions arose that Seungri, who is known as the true owner of Burning Sun Club, had arranged for prostitution. Afterwards, the incident spread to the sharing of illegally filmed videos of Seungri’s best friend, Jung Joon-young, and the situation escalated into a riot.
