A Closer Look at a Man who is T.O.P
Posted on 10:45 PM by kpop bff
Choi Seung Hyun, from the popular Korean boy group, Big Bang, also known as T.O.P/Tempo showed a different side of himself when he starred in a war movie that has newly been released. It looks like the young musician have realized his childhood dream of becoming an actor.
TOP in his younger years is just like an ordinary kid, getting himself his own personal battles inculcating within him a certain type of fear…but the fear of it has been gone, that he gained more confidence when he finished filming “Into the Fire”. He surely learned a lot from his sunbaes who spent decades mastering the art.
Outside, he would look like a wolf ready to devour anyone in his most piercing gaze and a seemingly cold demeanor, but his true form is a gentle sheep behind his tough, strong facade. Standing along with the other four popular members, he is the quiet guy who would rather stay at the back while the others speaks out.
An interview was released by ASIAE in the diary section of the site, exploring his feelings, his thoughts and his real self. In the interview, he stated that he showed his most genuine self when he filmed the movie.
He was greatly absorbed into the character of Lt. Oh Jang Bum — a boy with a lot of uncertainties of tomorrow, a boy with a lot of burdens and loads he has to carry on his shoulders. TOP felt that same pressure growing up mature in a very short time.
T.O.P unexpectedly is a very eloquent guy, with deep emotions and a sincere, sensitive character. He would utter words that aren’t even found on the lyrics of his rap parts, sharing some complex fragments of his mind.
The man that is T.O.P is an imaginary being, someone the young Seung Hyun drew in his head, someone he created, someone that he is himself but with a separate entity. The guy is the tough, arrogant-looking, a smooth talker and a rapper — a counterpart of the humble, sensitive and mature guy answering the interview. We love that coolness and hotness that is T.O.P! Nonetheless, he is the same guy who is behind this beautiful piece of art.
Could this be the other side of him that he was looking for as shown in the Big Bang documentary?
The unique thing of being a guy with a dual character is that his musical side has been mixed with his ability to act in front of the camera, thus he delivers much more than what we expected. As well all know, this side of him did not surface before, this one is definitely not the T.O.P that are driving fans to go screaming when he is rocking the stage.
He is the same guy with complicated thoughts and yet he would manage to write down lyrics for others to give their own meanings to what he has written. He has a creative mind, and growing up into a more mature person, and knowing how high his musical capability is, he seeks into the world of music seeing it in a different light, a fresh new one with lots of fusions.
I’m going to extend my view, and I want each and every song to be like a different album. I hope it is able to communicate with the public and I want to write unique lyrics. As I grow attachment to the album, I feel like my responsibility to it is growing as well.
Moreover, he doesn’t let himself be controlled by the public, instead he shares something unique about his music, that whatever he does, he turns and switch it into something big. Their president has lots of confidence in him.
With a great company backing him up, with good friends and brothers that are always behind him, and wonderful 2NE1 sisters to support him. TOP is definitely on the top of the world.
Note: This article is supposed to be about Into the Fire hitting #1 at the box office but since there are a lot of TOP feeds lately, I decided to convert this one into a more meaningful article. Enjoy!
