[+384, -8] Drug scandal aside, didn't he say he was retiring;;; why does he never keep his word;;; and Netflix was so quick to act on Yoo Ah In and Kim Sae Ron's scandals so why are they adding in TOP now?
[+159, -2] Can we please not ruin something good by throwing TOP on it ㅠㅠ Please remember what happened with 'Tazza 2' ㅠ
[+126, -2] But he has a drug scandal... there really isn't anyone better?
[+94, -2] These druggies don't seem to realize that they are criminals, which is why they always shamelessly crawl back like this. I won't be watching 'Squid Game 2' because of him now.
[+65, -0] Why not find another hidden gem of an actor, why this utter mess, tsk
[+32, -0] It's not like he's some actor who's one of his class... he's actually a singer... This totally makes the rumors that he's a nepo plug sound true... He's a drug criminal, for goodness sake!
[+20, -0] And now I suddenly don't want to watch...

[+498] It's sad to see how good celebrities have it when they're able to come right back to work just months or years after their scandals
[+440] He never seemed to fully reflect on his actions, he always actually seemed to enjoy goading the public by talking about how he doesn't even want to return to the industry... so for him to go back on his word by riding on the fame of a global hit? Of course people are going to find it controversial ㅎ His acting's not even as good as any real actor
[+366] Just throwing TOP on top of something that's already complete without him.....
[+360] There have to be so many better actors than him, why is it necessary to cast a druggie
[+84] His acting is not good enough to make up for his crimes
[+83] I'm already feeling bored with this next season
[+79] People seem to be forgetting that Lee Jung Jae was caught drunk driving twice
[+67] He knows that people are going to watch anyway, that's why he's so shameless about joining the show
[+44] And yet people have no problem watching Ha Jung Woo or Joo Ji Hoon on screen ㅋㅋ
[+38] Take out TOP
[+25] It's not like our opinion matters anyway. Just don't watch, it's the only solution.
[+8] With how controversial his casting has become, you'd think he would just volunteer to exit

[+343] He's the one that said he was retiring, he should've turned down the casting offer when it came...
[+122] I don't want to watch anymore..
[+56] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At this rate, just cast Seungri on the show too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just turn the whole show into a complete mess
[+53] Yoo Ah In: Wait a minute now?
[+55] I was looking forward to this ㅡㅡ not anymore
[+30] I can't believe it's 2023 and we're still having to deal with nepo castings
[+28] He can make up for the controversy if his character is a druggie villain
[+21] He'd be a great fit for a druggie character. I wonder what character he will end up playing ㅋ
