On April 28, T.O.P uploaded a video titled “One-Time YouTuber T.O.P with NANA” on his channel, featuring actress Nana.

During their conversation, T.O.P asked Nana about her summer vacation plans. When she said she didn’t have any, she turned the question back to him.

T.O.P responded simply: “I don’t go on vacations.”

When asked why, he added with a laugh: “I rested for 10 years.”

The self-deprecating remark quickly caught fans’ attention, referencing his long break from public activities.

T.O.P largely stepped away from the spotlight after his 2017 marijuana controversy, which resulted in a suspended prison sentence. Following the incident, he halted most entertainment activities and eventually parted ways with BIGBANG.

Although he participated in BIGBANG’s 2022 digital single “Still Life,” he later confirmed his departure from the group in 2023, signaling a new chapter in his career.

At one point, T.O.P hinted at retirement through social media, leaving fans uncertain about his future. However, he has since made a return to the industry.

He recently appeared in Netflix’s Squid Game Season 2 and released his first full-length solo album “Another Dimension”, marking his official comeback as both an actor and musician.

Fans have reacted to his comment with a mix of amusement and support, with many appreciating his ability to address his past with humor while moving forward.
