TOP is clueless

top_081117

You would think being a public figure would make you more aware of the news floating around especially when it concerns you. But obviously, T.O.P. has been living in a bubble.

Recently, TOP confessed to the Korean online news site, Newsen that he had no idea about the rumors of his “attempted” suicide until two days into his hospitalization. Ironically, on the day of the incident, the group members were clueless that TOP was in critical condition because of their full day commitments. When the remaining 4 members discovered that TOP didn’t come out of his room (which doesn’t make sense considering they were out all day), the managers broke into his room and rushed him to the emergency room.

The reason that TOP brought up this issue again was to probably apologize to all the VIPs. However, isn’t it a little too late? Already, almost two weeks have passed since the incident yet he only now feels compelled to bow his head in apology?

Oh well, we all know that the fans will eat it all up and give them more attention and love. Smart move on YGs part.

    agreed guava. anyway, it doesnt concern you popseoul. so why brood over it??

    second btw

    Didn’t he already say he was sorry for making people worry? I think you guys are behind.

  4. 4 boolie2woolie November 18, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    at least he offered the apology, eventhough it’s not his fault – who would expect the OD?
    PS is overhyped with this thing..

  5. 5 la timbré November 18, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    apologize? now you have to apologize when you have an accident? what the hell??? yes peoples was worried so what? leave him alone

  6. 6 UHMJUNGHWA4EVER November 18, 2008 at 8:48 pm

    Um, no. I think it’s normal. He is extremely busy and the last thing he is worrying about are stupid rumors – his management must have thought the same thing.

    Who are you + the other dinky writers on this site to say who is “a little late”? You guys are usually hilariously late.

  7. 7 UHMJUNGHWA4EVER November 18, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    also “public figure”? He’s just a freakin idol. You try surviving that idol sh!t.

  8. 8 HAHAHA November 18, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    no need to make a big deal out of this.

  9. 9 tina November 18, 2008 at 9:22 pm

    WATEVAAAAAA~

    좀 느리거든요~~~~~~

  10. 10 Seeny November 18, 2008 at 9:39 pm

    Why does he have to apologize at all?

  11. 11 asianboy312 November 18, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    his eyebrows are odd

  12. 12 SP November 18, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    Why DOES he have to apologize?

    If a star is sick, do they always have to apologize for it in Korea or something?

  13. 13 pi-chan November 18, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    why should he apologize to his fans??? lol

  14. 14 felisshi November 18, 2008 at 9:59 pm

    Give the guy a break. He is entitled to his own opinions. It’s his life. He needs to rest and sort everything out. He doesn’t need all these showbiz pressures especially now that he was just hospitalized recently. TOP, take your time.

  15. 15 Passer November 18, 2008 at 10:18 pm

    Glad that he’s feeling well now. Hope he don’t overwork again! Rest well and take care TOP oppa~!

  16. 16 S November 18, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    GRRRRRRRRR don’t understand. Why must he apologize?!?!?!?!

  17. 17 crappycaller November 18, 2008 at 11:17 pm

    playing clueless..for sure they know what happened to him because of course..they perform as a group..ha ha ha..funny excuse..popseoul ;o)..i really like this write “When the remaining 4 members discovered that TOP didn’t come out of his room (which doesn’t make sense considering they were out all day)” ..more write up like this :D :D

  18. 18 rubylovefaith November 19, 2008 at 12:03 am

    Who cares….he does not need to apologize…..what matters is that he is okay……

  19. 19 gtg November 19, 2008 at 12:12 am

    this news is old popseoul,,we already knew this..like 2 weeks ago???..he didnt even have 2 apologize anyway,,as long as hes ok, thats all good…

  20. 20 iki November 19, 2008 at 12:19 am

    lol i agree with all the comments!!

  21. 21 wth November 19, 2008 at 1:09 am

    i agree with the other comments. there was no need to apologize since it was an accident. and he did apologize for making his fans worry already. that was even more than necessary.

    and lol. i also find it funny how you think top was late in apologizing. you are late in posting news/gossips yourself.

  22. 22 WowImSoAwesome November 19, 2008 at 1:25 am

    Why should TOP apologize for the stupid assumptions of others? Should I apologize if you make an ass out of u and me?

    If you gossip about others who you don’t know, and then cry about it, it’s your own dumb fault. You should be thanking TOP for rightly ignoring your self-inflicted “judgmentalism”

  23. 23 Big A November 19, 2008 at 4:39 am

    He has no reason to apologize. I dont apologize to my friends if I get food poisoning or get a cold…hahaha. Sh!t just happens sometimes.

  24. 24 Izumi November 19, 2008 at 4:46 am

    I think a lot of stars choose to not look up their own names on the internet unless it’s something so big that their manager or someone else brings it up.

    I’ve heard that most celebrities never get a happy ending when they click the “X” after reading posts/news about themselves on the internet. Most of them end up feeling depressed, angry, or unfairly stained after reading about comments, so I can imagine TOP didn’t really bother to look up stuff about himself much, and then probably heard word from his management or somewhere that he should address it.

    But yeah, PopSeoul is correct in that it is one way to get your name back up on the top 10 most searched list on Daum.

  25. 25 Joli November 19, 2008 at 4:56 am

    Why should he have to apologize for all the vicious gossip spread about him? Its not like he started the rumor, popseoul.
    Plus, how WOULD he know there were rumors about him attempting suicide after he was hospitalized? I severely doubt he was concerned with whatever was going around the interned during that time.
    I’m not sure Big Bang wasn’t notified right away, but why or why not is between them and TOP. That doesn’t make TOP clueless.

  26. 26 Shaenna November 19, 2008 at 5:24 am

    Either way, what do you expect he didn’t even know. And he apoligized a while ago if I remember correctly…

  27. 27 LadyIgraine November 19, 2008 at 5:46 am

    I think he knows better than to browse online and read about himself.

  28. 28 felisshi November 19, 2008 at 5:52 am

    With what is going on now in Korea (highly publicized rates of suicides among showbiz personalities and the likes); in my opinion, sometimes it is better to just ignore reading e-mails or internet messages to avoid issues that involves oneself. If in case you’re not aware that you are the talk of the town until someone gets your attention; well that’s because you are trying to protect yourself. Besides, it’s your life, your decision. Not because you are clueless, but because it’s no big deal.

  29. 29 travp16 November 19, 2008 at 6:07 am

    Hahaha..wow..this is kinda funny.

  30. 30 atd November 19, 2008 at 6:44 am

    Why would he need to apologize for being sick anyways? He’s a busy person so better late than never. Besides, it wasn’t attempted suicide anyways.

  31. 31 luvluv November 19, 2008 at 8:11 am

    It’s okay baby, I still love you!

  32. 32 getoutofmyCOUNTRY November 19, 2008 at 8:23 am

    they dont love and respect their fans like dbsk does. and its a pity that the memebers were clueless as well. so much for GROUP LOVE

  33. 33 blegh November 19, 2008 at 8:55 am

    why does he need to apologize so much? HE is the one sick. why the hell does he have to say “i’m so sorry to get sick and make you worry” that doesnt make sense. what more do you want from the artist?

  34. 34 nanshi November 19, 2008 at 9:45 am

    It IS weird that the other group members didn’t know until the end of the day. I like Big Bang, but they don’t give off a very strong and cohesive feel to me. I can’t imagine any of the other boybands out there in Korea right now that would be able to go the entire day without checking up on the other members (even if it is through SMS or phone calls or something).

  35. 35 L November 19, 2008 at 10:01 am

    I LOVE T.O.P anyway cluesless or not! HE IS MY MAN!

  36. 36 schnufflesalphonse November 19, 2008 at 10:04 am

    I seriously want P.O.P to come to the US so I can take him to dinner. He is fierce; bburg would love him.

  37. 37 vchan November 19, 2008 at 10:48 am

    wooow thats strange, how can you not notice someone missing from your band, how can you not know about yourself

  38. 38 miso November 19, 2008 at 10:57 am

    dang people are in love with the big bang members

    if jun jin did the same exact thing…
    people would be all over him

  39. 39 saranghae November 19, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    why should he apologize?
    hes sick goddamn it, popseoul
    you promised not to bash a sick artist

  40. 40 sierra November 19, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    Poor kids… poor TOP… no one knew he was K.O? That is scary… living with a whole bunch of ppl doesn’t always mean you’ll be remembered and taken care of… tsk tsk… I guess they lack a member with motherly instincts… :P

    It’s nice to hear that they are so busy and successful, but it’s freaky to know that they are so occupied to the extent that they can’t take care of themselves and each other…

    Lay off, POPSEOUL :P

  41. 42 XYNC November 19, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    Gosh. Get well soon.

  42. 43 loyalkng November 19, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    Go top… keep on kissing them hotties.

  43. 44 nikeg November 19, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    lol i love the sticker! its like sayin “look! this is my nose!” LOL

  44. 45 Rin November 19, 2008 at 8:50 pm

    Tabi’s always been dorkishly slow anyways lols no big deal popseoul, plus, he apologized, we still love him (as you predicted) and he was indeed silly to OD >_> hahas but yeah, still our Tabi for you.

    Note: Just noticed I wrote Tabi instead of T.O.P because that’s the romanization for TOP in korean, bad habits ^^

  45. 46 Kaybee November 19, 2008 at 11:14 pm

    Why should he apologize? I don’t get it…? Why should he apologize for someone spreading such malicious and baseless rumour. Love him :)

  46. 47 KingHeeMin November 20, 2008 at 12:54 am

    @guava & suz
    ~ i agree.. ^^

  47. 48 Jane. November 20, 2008 at 7:52 am

    I wouldn’t apologize to asses who make rumors up about me either.

  48. 49 me November 20, 2008 at 8:23 am

    why should he have to apologize? he got sick. he didn’t know about the rumors. that’s it.

  49. 50 wikka November 22, 2008 at 10:52 am

    Two weeks is not too late for an apology, which he should not of had to make in the first place.
