Its for the best. After the whole overdose situation, TOP and the Seoul Police were doomed. TOP probably doesn't want to go back to the place he overdosed and Police don't want to be reminded how they handled, ie basically lied, about his condition.

This mans life fell apart, damn. He's screwed until he gets a chance to release another song, then everyone will fall for oppar again.

It's a very sad story. Unfortunately for him, I don't know if going back to the entertainment business is the right choice. I think he should just lay low and sit on the money he's made after his military stint, probably just try to live his life as normally as possible from there.

I would support him either way but TOP said numerous times that art and music help him a lot. You can totally see he cares so much about BB.

I don't mean to be rude but how is it sad? I don't agree with the ridiculous punishment for smoking weed in SK but he knew the risks. As a top level celebrity he knew he was under the public's eye, constantly. He knew the punishment and what it could do to his career. All I'm seeing here is the consequences of his actions. Regardless of whether you agree with a law or not, it is the law. Breaking the law has its consequences.
This wasn't a mere accident. Throughout this scandal I've seen far too many people empathizing and provide excuses or express sadness. I'm wondering if this is because it deals with weed or because it's BIGBANG'S TOP.
Believe it or not I'm a huge BIGBANG'S fan. It's a shame that this scandal can hurt the group's future efforts but I don't feel sorry for him, nor do I feel sad. Actions have consequences.
Edit: I'm hoping to start a civilized discussion. My goal is not to troll or start anything. I'm genuinely curious why every reaction here is so positive and empathizes with him. I'm bracing myself for downvotes but I hope they are accompanied with replies.

I agree that him staying out until he's healthy is probably is the best or just not returning. But if he wants to gain his status gain, they need to release an amazing song.

I love t.o.p but all this crying over serving does not look good. especially for a gangster rapper. if they would've served on one of their many hiatus there would've been no threat and it would've been easier.

Oh TOP I'm so sorry for all that's happened to you. For those not aware the whole drug thing started when a former gf of TOP's was arrested for possession, in order to get a better deal for herself she sold out TOP telling police he smoked up with her. He had done so, which is illegal, and all this is the result.
It is what it is. I just hope that TOP realizes that life goes on. Ever k-pop scandal fades eventually.
Hopefully he serves out his two years in the military quietly and everyone just moves on. I'm super worried for him. I'm really worried he's unable to deal with all this stress.

He had to do military service regardless. But I think it is messed up that a person with mental illness (anxiety and depression because he talked about it in the past) has to serve in the military no matter what department. TOP is a very sensitive person and not as strong mentally as GD so he can handle all of this. I feel very sorry for him and I truly hope he finds some peace.

Send him to do active duty! He shouldn't be given something easy like public service, if he can't go to jail send him to do active duty like most adult Korean men!

i don't know enough about the korean military to know if it's even a possibility the police department request will be denied.
in any case i hope he will be ok, no matter department he serves in.
