When asked about the drama around TOP's casting, Park Myung Soo replied, "I personally like TOP but this isn't something that I can say anything about. I think can why both sides are saying what they are, but I do think that young people should be given opportunities to try and make it back. In my extremely personal opinion, I think he should really wake up and understand that this is an opportunity to work really hard and earn the public's trust back again. After that, it's up to the public whether they want to accept him or not, and he needs to be prepared to accept the outcome as well. If public sentiment is what it is, then it's probably right."

[+1,259] Park Myung Soo basically said that public sentiment is right, so I would hardly call this a "public show of support" for TOP... More like a public show of encouragement. The title will easily cause misunderstandings for people who read the title and not the article.
[+585] He actually stated that really well. A very clean way with words.
[+557] The reason TOP's so hated right now is because of his attitude leading up to this casting. He never took time off to reflect or apologize, instead he was like "Korea can't handle me," "I'm not working in Korea again ㅋㅋㅋ," "I'm not Big Bang anymore ㅋㅋ," which is what made him so problematic
[+500] I respect Myung Soo hyung's opinion, but I still hate TOP
[+317] I still find it funny that celebrities expect to "pay us back" for their crimes with more acting or singing. Staying off of our TVs is the best way you can pay us back.
[+193] He handled that question well. It's not like he could sit there and be like "f*ck TOP! Who cast him? Lee Jung Jae?" I find nothing wrong with his response. He admitted to personally liking him but also that he encourages him to work hard, and that's that..
[+153] Don't forget, Park Myung Soo said that public sentiment is usually right
[+57] The fact that his casting is so controversial just proves that he has not built enough of his image back with the public yet. There's no reason to move forward with this casting. International viewers aren't the only audience of 'Squid Game.' As a public figure, he should know that it's also his responsibility to pull back and wait until the public is ready for him again.
[+24] So funny that people are so up in arms over TOP when Psy also had drug scandals but his 'Summer Swag' shows are all the rage ㅋㅋㅋ
[+20] TOP just needs to accept the criticisms for what they are and understand that all this hate is something he just needs to deal with. He's in the show now so there's nothing else to do but to work hard and pay the viewers back with good acting.
