T.O.P Spotted in Canada: Thin and Weary, Nearly Unrecognizable Despite Designer Outfit
T.O.P was recently seen at an art museum in Canada, marking a rare public appearance.
Dressed in luxury fashion, he nonetheless appeared subdued and noticeably thin, sparking concern among fans. Despite his designer attire, many noted that the once-charismatic idol seemed tired and withdrawn, far from his glamorous onstage persona.
The sighting follows a period of near-complete absence from the public eye. Since his military discharge in 2019, T.O.P has largely stepped away from the entertainment industry. His only group activity since then was BIGBANG’s 2022 comeback with “Still Life,” after which he terminated his contract with YG Entertainment and officially left the group — a move that shocked many longtime fans.
In early 2025, T.O.P returned to the spotlight with a supporting role in “Squid Game 2” and opened up in an interview about leaving BIGBANG, citing emotional guilt and a desire to disconnect. He also revealed he had cut off contact with G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung. His highly publicized moon project was also quietly canceled.
Aside from occasional Instagram posts featuring abstract artwork, T.O.P has maintained a low profile. His recent sighting came as a surprise, especially as BIGBANG approaches its 20th anniversary in 2026. G-Dragon’s concert and Daesung’s recent MV included subtle nods to T.O.P, fueling hopes of a reunion.
Whether or not a four-member comeback will happen, VIPs remain hopeful that BIGBANG’s milestone year might offer one last glimpse of the iconic lineup together.
