T.O.P under fire for allegedly rude hands while receiving MMA awards

BIGBANG’s T.O.P has been under netizen scrutiny for his allegedly rude hands during the group’s acceptance speech at the recent MelOn Music Awards.

Fans have taken to criticizing a screenshot from the group’s acceptance speech of the TOP10 award at the award ceremony. While G-Dragon is in the foreground and the four remaining members are in the back, eyes are clued in to the fact that T.O.P’s hands are casually in his pockets. Similar behaviors are seen in their acceptance of the Netizens’ Choice Award

Many netizens have commented that this behavior is looked upon as being rude and should not be discounted just because “they are BIGBANG.” In fact, others noted that during interviews in Thailand and Taiwan he was openly using his phone, tagging him as arrogant.

However, others have defended him by revealing that rather than a sign of rudeness, his hands in his pockets should be interpreted as a sign of his nerves. Despite being a top star, fans share that he is not perfectly comfortable with public speaking and so gets nervous easily.
