Former BIGBANG member T.O.P., aka Choi Seung Hyun, stole the hearts of the audience with his role in Squid Game season 2. He was the purple-headed boy who had us all rolling with laughter in the deadly thriller show. He played rapper Thanos in the Netflix series, a character who had lost his money through wrong cryptocurrency investments. Though his role was seen as the comic relief in the series, T.O.P. didn’t really want that to happen. Rather than being a comical part of the highly dark series, T.O.P. wanted to be the unpredictable twist in the drama.

Recently, the 37-year-old actor-singer opened up about his expectations regarding how people would perceive his part. He shared that he wanted the audience to see the role of Thanos as a little more mysterious. In a chat with Netflix, the ex-BIGBANG member stated, “Since I’m a rapper myself, I tried to deliver the lines as naturally as possible while not being too lighthearted or comical.” Continuing the chat and talking about his role, T.O.P. added, “My personal goal was to show the viewers a character they hadn’t seen before — someone who is mysterious, unpredictable, and with a couple of loose screws.”
