T.O.P Seemingly References BIGBANG In “Squid Game 2,” Despite Previous Issues
Spoiler Alert
Squid Game 2 was officially released on Netflix on December 26. The latest season shows Lee Jung Jae returning as Seong Gi Hun to lead a new all-star cast into the next round of deadly games.
Reception has been mixed, though there have already been talks of the show’s upcoming third season.
The latest season’s cast also attracted attention, including the inclusion of former BIGBANG’s T.O.P. T.O.P played Thanos, a rapper who lost money in a scam cryptocurrency investment, receiving negative reviews about his performance.
However, one scene from the show featuring the star has gained some traction online.
The third game played in season two was “Mingle,” which featured the players grouping by announced numbers and then running to the safety of rooms. Each round began with the players being spun on a merry-go-round-like platform.
As the platform spun, Thanos, known for his unserious yet lethal energy, swung his arm back and forth in the air. The official Netflix account used this moment to react to another user’s question on X.

Looking at the short clip, one might be reminded of the point dance of BIGBANG’s “Bang Bang Bang.” The official Squid Game account seemed to think the same, quoting the previously mentioned clip with “Bang Bang Bang.”

Previously, T.O.P. seemingly made his feelings about the group known by blocking fans who tagged him in posts celebrating BIGBANG’s anniversary.

So, hinting at that song through his actions in the drama—should we take it as a sign that T.O.P is coming back as BIGBANG？？？ https://t.co/naohpCnAwS
