While the rest of the world was celebrating Barack Obama’s presidential victory, Korean netizens and VIPers had a mini heart attack when it was reported that mini-muffin TOP was hospitalized. Not only was his health in question but speculations that he overdosed on drugs spread like wildfire, worrying die hard fans and all K-pop followers alike.
YG did not make a big deal out of such false claims at first. However, when it became apparent that it needed to be corrected, they stated that official reasons for the hospitalization were due to exhuastion from a demanding promotion schedule.
Let’s hope that TOP isn’t depressed and that YG’s claims are true.

OMG i hope he gets better. Im sending my love to you.
doubt it. he was hospitalized last year too due to overwork.
Because of the recent trend, i think just cuz a celebrity is sent to the hospital ppl are gonna assume the worst. Anyways hope he gets better.
Don’t think this is true. It’s just rumours. Any VIP knows how hard they have been working. These stupid rumours are just going to make TOP & VIPs feel worse only.
I hope he gets better ASAP. YG, I’m begging you, don’t work BB members too hard. They’re human too.
we can’t assume that everyone, who is hospitalized is suicidal X_X…
whatever was wrong with him, i hope he gets better soon :).
if it’s true, that he overdozed on drugs… then i hope he’s learned his lesson and will be more reasonable in future.
I doubt it’s suicide…who’s so silly to do tat a day after his b’day?! Newayz i hope he gets better soon…
Seoulbeats, stick with Korean Entertainment news rather than mentioning American politics.
take a break Tabi
ur guys ’s overworked nowadays, Mini album at september then Japaness album then 2nd Remember -__- What a crazy schedule !
I hope he’s feel better
The title scares me. I’m not even a VIP but I hope the claim is really false. Hope he would get well soon.
Why so cranky Jonni? hahah.. i celebrated my heart out…
I thought their schedule was loosened cuz they kept falling like flies last year…T.O.P seems to be the weak one of the bunch…who would`ve expected it? get well soon…and be healthy!
i agree jonny
seoul stfu about american politics its bad enough we got to deal with the loser president but now i got to go to a korean blog to get it rub in my face!
Good thing their concert is not in December. I think the guys need that tiem to rest and spend with family. And all those stupid rumors are dumb. To who ever started the rumors: Stop jumping to conclusion if you don’t know.
Omg <3
why is it now…~
i dont want that you die <3 T-T
Seoulbeats, you are wanting to be clever in trying to insert American politics in a Big Bang article. Big Bang has nothing to do with Obama. I want to read about Big Bang and not about what the Americans are up to. I am very interested in reading about Korean culture and I am not interested at all in American culture. Please stick with providing all the readers of Seoulbeats with entertaining news about Kpop rather than submerging us with other useless contents.
^rant and rave all you want.
You’ll be hearing about it all over the world.
and, I doubt that TOP was trying to commit suicide or anything of that sort, and the fact that YG didn’t make a big deal means that he probably wasn’t. BB is way overworked, but again, they seem to LIKE to be busy. Lets just hope they give him some recovery time!
that rumor was put down by yg imediatley.
people assume suicide right away XD
feel better top!
lol obama being the first black american pres is literally all over the world. what does it matter if SB includes american politics? Its their own article, and they should be able to include what shiet they want. if you just wanna read about BB and nothing else, then go to a Bigbang forum, cause you know this site aint all about them. man, lately on all the blog sites theres been an OD of dumbasses who have nothing better to do then hate on every fcukin thing they read.
Don’t worry the claims about him doing drugs is not true at all.
Just got note that it was of overworking.

Seoulbeats, why don’t you write about Korean lawmakers trying to legalize dog meat instead? That’s some Korean politics if you want to get into that. If it weren’t for Kpop and Kdrama, I would never take a glance at Korea because of this distasteful issue.
TOP committing suicide? Not in a million years. Big Bang is on top of their game.
Geez, they jump strait to the suicide attempt… I have nothing to say…
YG ha been working the boys to the bone. It worries me. Probably OD’d on sleeping pills?
On a lighter note, OBAMA DID WIN! woot woot!! change IS happening!
omg! please don’t die, oppa! we all love you!
who the heck cares about obama or us?? go korea!
YTN is confirming TOP is in coma status. hope he’s all right =(
STFU
raye & Jonni
anyways…………….
I hope TOP gets better <3
dont hate on America
GET well soon
First Hyun Joong and then T.O.P….
whatever town they’re from must have a lot of hardworking males lol.
Huh? TOP is in a coma? OMG! This is getting scary. He must have done something more serious than just being tired. He’s at the hospital right now so he’s probably well taken care of. I hope this doesn’t become a tragedy like Heath Ledger’s death.
OMG I STARTED CRYING WHEN I HEARD I HOPE HE IS OK I WISH I COULD VISITI HIM!
L, I think he’s okay. They brought him to the hospital already so he’s in good hands. YG won’t allow anything bad to happen to him.
I just got the news that TOP is okay now so don’t worry about this anymore. He took his pills with alcohol so it made him sick. Taking pills & alcohol together is not a good mix. I hope he learns his lesson from this.
why..? Shim Mina dumped him?..taking pills with alcohol sounds suicidal to me..but let’s hope he’s ok and resting well now..
Yeah, that’s what I thought too that Mina broke up with him or something for him to take meds and alcohol at the same time. I could never commit suicide over a heartbreak.
apparently he was depressed… suicide attempt?
I dunno.
seriously. Korea needs to spread the happiness
this is why a lot of Korean Artist commit suicide!
TOP gets rushed to the hospital due to fatigue and overworking himself and this is what he gets?some sick news that he tried to kill himself?wow!
no offense to all koreans…i’m not generalizing here cause
I’M JUST REFERRING TO SOME…
but you don’t do this to your idols people..seriously!
some of them haven’t learned yet from what happened to some of thier artist..(ie. Choi Jin Shil)
no wonder they prefer going to different countries rather than staying in thier motherland…getting bashed and have bad rumors spread about you is bad enough but in your own country?!?
talk about sick…
Get well soon TOP!
omg drug overdose??? hasn’t he already been hospitalized once for exhaustion? poor thing. i hope he’s ok…
i don’t think top is in a coma, he’s just sedated
NOOOO, I hope my favorite BigBang member is doing okay
