With his breakout role as Thanos in Squid Game Season 2, Choi Seung Hyun aka T.O.P. has become a global name once again. As he receives kudos for his turn on the Netflix series, fans wonder if he will be reuniting with his former BIGBANG mates. Here's what the actor had to say about the latest spate of rumours regarding his return to the K-Pop ground.

T.O.P. denies rumours about return to BIGBANG

After his 2017 sentence for smoking marijuana, Choi Seung Hyun has stayed away from the limelight. With his role as Player 230, known in the outside world as Thanos, T.O.P. became one of the most talked-about new characters of Squid Game Season 2. Due to his previous controversy, the actor wasn't part of the initial promos for Squid Game. However, later Netflix had separate interviews with the Korean star as his popularity grew.

Amidst this, fans began to speculate that a reunion was on the cards. They noted that T.O.P’s name was still part of BIGBANG’s official YouTube account. Additionally, Choi Seung Hyun's Instagram page states his stage name, “T.O.P Choi Seung Hyun.” But T.O.P has put to rest the rumors about his return to BIGBANG.
