KOREA: As reported by Soompi, former BIGBANG member T.O.P recently opened up in his first interview in 11 years, reflecting on his role in“The production company offered me an audition.

When I saw Thanos’ character, I was concerned about my past mistakes and my shame. I worried about being permanently associated with this role. But I felt there might be a deeper meaning in taking it on, almost like fate. So, I filmed an audition, sent it in, and the director arranged a meeting after liking it.”Addressing rumours of nepotism, T.O.P said, “I wasn’t upset but saddened by the thought that I might harm such a significant project.

He described his character Thanos as “cartoonishly exaggerated, dim-witted, and pathetic—a failed hip-hop loser. He’s simple-minded and ignorant. These traits are evident in scenes like the rap during the ‘Red Light, Green Light’ game, where his character starts to take shape.”On criticisms of his performance, T.O.P remarked, “I humbly accept both the likes and dislikes about the character. It’s not my place to argue otherwise.”When asked about reuniting with BIGBANG, T.O.

Reflecting on his past, T.O.P shared, “My 30s were filled with shame and self-contempt, but I found healing through music. In my 40s, I hope to live responsibly and without negative headlines, focusing on balance, positivity, and stability.
