TOP being attacked in the Korean media for its role is nothing new.
Korean reports attacked SUPERIOR continuously since then Squid game The second season has been released. It’s no wonder international fans are angry, as most international media praised him.
The difference in reactions to TOP in “Squid Game 2” between Korean and international outlets sparks a debate
However, one journalist seems to go even further by calling TOP a “junkie” and writing a provocative report on TOP. The title reads: “TOP ‘Druggie rapper’, his bad acting made ‘Squid Game 2’ unbearable to watch“
The report begins by saying: “If an actor with insufficient acting skills gets a lot of air time, it is the audience and viewers who suffer the most. This happened in the second season of ‘Squid Game’. He continues to call TOP “embarrassing” and wonders if TOP was really the best actor for this role.
He goes on to say that international fans wouldn’t understand TOP’s acting and wouldn’t recognize her as bad, because they don’t speak Korean.
International viewers don’t hear it in their own language, so they can more easily accept the dialogue, tone of voice and emotions behind the words. However, for Korean viewers who recognize the subtle meaning behind every word and understand it perfectly, TOP’s acting may only seem clumsy.

Finally, it begs the question of whether or not Squid Game really needed someone who had actually done drugs to play this role and whether TOP was really necessary.
“Did you need a rapper who actually did drugs?”
