T.O.P Makes Major Comeback at Netflix’s TUDUM 2025!
T.O.P is back in the spotlight! The former BIGBANG member shocked fans during Netflix’s “TUDUM 2025” event on May 31, 2025, at Kia Forum, Los Angeles. This marked his first live appearance since stepping away from the stage in 2017 following his drug scandal.
He joined fellow Squid Game co-stars Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun, stating, “We brought a few friends from Korea.” Fans were ecstatic to see T.O.P, also known as Choi Seung Hyun, which spurred massive emotional reactions online.
His presence at the event was a surprise after years of limited public visibility. T.O.P greeted the audience with, “What’s up, Netflix fans!” and instantly became the highlight of the night.

His sudden reentry into the public eye ignited a wave of nostalgia and celebration from fans who had missed him since his controversial exit from the limelight. Twitter exploded with reactions:
“It’s crazy to me that this newer generation may only know him as Thanos, but that is THE ONE AND ONLY T.O.P standing before you” — @jekkibby2
T.O.P addressed past controversies directly at a pre-release event before TUDUM, marking a significant moment in his career and signaling his potential return to the industry.
Fans are monitoring the situation closely, and all eyes are on T.O.P as he re-establishes himself on the entertainment scene.
