[ARTICLE] T.O.P Talks about the “Truth and Lies” Between His Different Personas in Hashtag Interview6/10/2014 BIGBANG‘s T.O.P shared his innermost thoughts about himself through #Hashtag, an interview show that was uploaded on the 1theK YouTube channel on June 10. In the show #Hashtag, the artists pick keywords about themselves and for this episode, T.O.P has chosen #FROM_TOP, #TwentySeven, #Exhibition, #NewYork, and #ChoiSeungHyun. He talked about how his photo exhibition, “From TOP,” came about. “I don’t show myself nowadays so I thought it was kind of funny and brave for me to hang my photos for an exhibition. I laughed at this project when it began,” he said. He also talked about how he chose the photos to be put on the exhibit, saying, “I think a person’s eyes are very important. What I tried to do is select pictures that show different eyes telling different stories.” He also talked about why the photos were shot in New York and why he had a lot of photos showing silly expressions and showing his left profile. Finally, he talked about the color that represents both T.O.P and Choi Seung Hyun himself. “I’d say black and white. Both the truth and lies are there. I’ve included this fake persona of mine. Sometimes, I get presented as more than I am, fancier than I am. But really, there’s nothing to me and trying to come to my senses in all that confusion, I think that’s the truth inside me and I tend to debate between the two identities.” Get to know more about T.O.P through this interview: BIGBANG‘s T.O.P didn’t hold back on telling the world what kind of relationship he has with the BIGBANG members as well as what keeps him handsome as he is at the press conference for “FROM TOP EXHIBITION” held on June 4 at Horam Art Center in Seoul. “I kept listening to Taeyang‘s new album on the way here. When I sent words of encouragement to Taeyang through text, he told me, ‘No need to say that, why are you like this?,’” explaining how he is like with the other members of BIGBANG. “Because we have always seen each other since we were younger, our relationship is not that of a business relationship but more like a family. I think they think of me as their real older brother and I consider them as my younger brothers too. We always cheer each other on,” he added. “Whenever there are bad things that happen to each one of us, we hurt together and I think that we have to enjoy growing old together,” T.O.P further added. Aside from the very close relationship he has with his BIGBANG brothers, the rapper also mentioned the secret to his good looks. “I cannot really personally take care of my looks well. (Instead of botox), I get something that’s called ‘sul-tox,’” T.O.P jokingly said about his beauty secret. (T/N: “Sul” in Korean is ‘alcohol’) “Eating well and sleeping well is the secret,” the rapper said. “My job is to stand a lot in front of a camera and yet I don’t enjoy taking a selca,” T.O.P opened up. “I take landscape photos all the time but personally, I’m not much of a selca taker. I do not like SNS. I’d rather work hard at what I do than be on SNS,” he added. Aside from dishing on his reasons for not being on the social networking sites, T.O.P also shed light on how he got started with this exhibit. “Youth is courage. You have to do this year the things you cannot do next year. Even this exhibit can become a good memory or something that I would be embarrassed about when I become older. But because I’m still young, I took this on thinking that this is a performance that I can do,” he said. The “FROM TOP EXHIBITION” is held to commemorate T.O.P’s first video album, “1st PICTORIAL RECORDS FROM TOP.” The exhibit features various printed photos from T.O.P’s video album as well as never-before-seen photos that he personally chose.

DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE USE SOCIAL MEDIA” (140604)6/4/2014 BIGBANG’s T.O.P explained the reason he does not use social media.
At the ‘FROM TOP EXHIBITION’ held on June 4 at Seoul Sinsa Horim Art Center, he commented, “Because it is my job to stand in front of the camera often, I don’t enjoy taking selfies.” He added, “I usually take scenery-related pictures, but I don’t take selfies. I don’t really understand why people use social media. I would use that time to work harder.” About his current self and the exhibition, he commented, “Youth equals bravery. This year must be spent doing things that become harder or impossible to do next year. This exhibition could be remembered as either a proud moment or an embarrassing one when I grow older. I took on the challenge because I believe this is a performance I can do only when I am young.” The exhibition held in celebration of the release of T.O.P’s “1st PICTORIAL RECORDS FROM TOP” includes various photos of T.O.P in the records and some unveiled photos personally selected by T.O.P. The pictorial records were created by T.O.P and photographer Hong Jang Hyun from pictures taken in New York last December. With T.O.P’s intention to “capture the current state of myself, at age 27,” the records indeed hold charms uni.

Coincidentally, our children were paired up,” he added, mentioning that their meeting was very natural. He then formed a relationship with the YG Entertainment president after knowing him at his daughter’s school. ”President Yang Min Suk’s mind is a good match to mine. He’s a person whose thinking becomes even more outstanding over time,” Cha Seung Won added. With a roster of popular idol groups BIGBANG and 2NE1, Cha Seung Won’s daughter must have been ecstatic and pleaded to have her father in the same company but the actor reveals that it isn’t the case. “My daughter Ye Ni only likes Akdong Musician and has no interest in the other idols,” the actor shared. “And I only know BIGBANG’s T.O.P and G-Dragon,” he added. The real other reason for his “big move” to YG Entertainment? “I felt that they needed me there,” Cha Seung Won said, stating that in addition to the building’s cafeteria, it was what made him make the big move to YG Entertainment. “When I go to the cafeteria, the aunties who work there really like me,” he added, bringing the round table to a laugh. The movie, “High Heel,” tells the story of Ji Wook, a detective who was swept away by a fatal accident the moment he decided to find his real self that he keeps secret from others. This project is the product of six years of production of Director Jang Jin and actor Cha Seung Won and has gained great interest from the public. The movie opens on June 4. *NOTE: Yang Min Suk is Yang Hyun Suk’s younger brother, he is YG’s Co-CEO.

In a recent interview Cha Seung Won talked about his recent encounter with his idol friend (and now ‘YG’ family). “T.O.P and I keep in touch every now and then. I saw him just recently. I was filming a drama at Tazza 2’s set in Paju and my ex-manager called me. He told me to drop by for a bit since T.O.P came. My old manager is working for T.O.P now. When I went there, (Actor) Yoo Haejin was waiting for me and (Actor) Kim Yoonseok was also there. It was nice to see them.” He continued, “Seunghyun (T.O.P) is a very extraordinary person. He’s really handsome and he has very charming eyes. He’s also very gentle and kind.” Cha Seung Won is currently filming for a drama on SBS called ‘You Are All Surrounded, while T.O.P is currently filming for the 2nd installment of the Tazza series called ‘Tazza: The High Rollers 2”.

He shared,“She says she has no interest in idols. I don’t know much about idols too. I only know Seunghyun (T.O.P) and Jiyong (G-Dragon).” Source: IsPlus Translated by: bigbangupdates During May 20’s broadcast of SBS Power FM’s Power Time, DJ Choi Hwa Jung asked Akdong Musician, “What kind of style do you guys like? Who do you think is handsome?” Lee Soo Hyun answered, “I don′t have specific person in mind. From my viewpoint, all the people that are considered to be handsome are handsome. I’m a fan of Big Bang’s T.O.P sunbaenim.” She added, “I once ate across T.O.P. He looks really cool when he’s eating. He’s cool without even saying anything.” To the same question, Lee Chan Hyuk answered, “I think my mom is the prettiest,” bringing out laughter. Source & Translated by: MWAVE |
