T.O.P, the ex-member of K-pop group BIGBANG, has faced harsh criticism from his most loyal fans following the announcement of his new romantic relationship with Nana. Nana is a former member of After School, who has since transitioned into acting. Initially, it was speculated that the backlash was solely due to his dating life, but a long-standing fan site named CHOIDOT revealed that there were much deeper issues at play.
CHOIDOT pointed out years of poor communication, limited activities, and an assumption that fans would continue supporting T.O.P without any updates or interaction from the star.
On Saturday, T.O.P's agency, TOPSPOT PICTURES, released an official apology via their social media channels. The agency expressed their seriousness in taking into account the opinions shared by fans and deeply regretted the disappointment and frustration caused by the lack of updates on his activities and insufficient communication.
