T.O.P will be officially discharged on July 6. His original discharge date was supposed to be some time in August.
While this update made a lot of fans very excited for his return, some were not too happy about the news. Netizens brought up T.O.P’s marijuana incident and said that they were not too pleased to see him out so soon after the controversy.
“This guy went on vacation leave f***loads of times, and now he gets discharged earlier? f*** Who’s pulling strings for you. HyunSuk’s got a lot of power,” one said. “He paid 12000 KRW for a probation and even went as a social worker lol Can ordinary citizens pull this off by smoking marijuana?” another one noted.
Although a lot of people were hoping to see T.O.P back on the K-pop world again, he has the final decision whether he’s ready to be on the spotlight again or not. But if he is planning to return to the entertainment industry, netizens had these to say: “You should say bye to the entertainment industry unless you want live your whole life eating criticisms,” and “Don’t come out, I used to be a VIP but I hope to never see you again on TV.”
Even though how much these netizens hate and criticize T.O.P for the marijuana scandal, they should keep in mind that the BIGBANG star had nothing to do with the early discharge. It was a new rule that was recently implemented and other ordinary citizens who are currently serving their mandatory military service will most likely get the same outcome as well.
Despite these hate comments, there are also those who are still supporting T.O.P. Many believed that his case was not that big compared to the other ones that were recently revealed. They also appreciated the fact that the BIGBANG star owned up to his mistake and showed remorse, which is why it was easier for them to forgive him.
Some also said that other netizens are shallow and judgemental. Many asked them to leave T.O.P alone because he doesn’t need any hate when he finally comes back from enlistment. This concern is quite understandable as the BIGBANG star was previously rushed to the hospital after his marijuana scandal broke.
The 31-year-old rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor took a dangerous about of anxiety pills at the time, which clearly proved that he couldn’t handle the stress and embarrassment. This is the reason why fans who still support him are trying to protect him from people who wants nothing but for T.O.P to suffer even more.
