TOP's face censored on TV

Former Big Bang member TOP recently made a comeback in the second season of 'Squid Game' , but had an awkward moment during a TV broadcast.

TOP (real name Choi Seung Hyun) faced an uncomfortable situation when his face was blurred during the January 7 episode of MBC 's ' Live This Morning '. The show discussed the successes and controversies surrounding Season 2 of Netflix 's ' Squid Game '.

While the show highlighted the series' impressive record, it also discussed current controversies. The MBC show noted that criticism of TOP's casting has now shifted to criticism of his acting, while lead actor Park Sung Hoon has also been at the center of controversy after posting a pornographic parody of 'Squid Game' on social media.

During the broadcast, key scenes from 'Squid Game' season 2 were shown, featuring actors Lee Jung Jae , Im Si Wan , and Park Sung Hoon . However, TOP, who plays the character " Thanos ," was clearly censored by a blurring effect.

This censorship may be linked to previous drug charges against TOP. In 2017, he was sentenced to 10 months in prison, suspended for two years, for marijuana use. Following this incident, he retired from the entertainment industry.

Although there is no explicit legal regulation requiring the blurring of convicted celebrities' faces on major terrestrial broadcast networks, internal policies at networks like KBS , MBC, and SBS often enforce censorship of celebrities involved in legal controversies.

At the time, TOP publicly stated that he had no intention of returning to the spotlight. However, his return via 'Squid Game' season 2 reignited controversy. Despite the drama, 'Squid Game' season 2 continues to captivate global attention.
