Rapper T.O.P. Formerly of Big Bang and Idol Turned Actress Nana Confirmed to be Dating
If this happened during the heyday of K-pop I think K-netizens would have a collective aneurysm, both from stars daring to date and from who these two are lol. Leave it to idol turned actress Nana to have two “scandals” in the span of a week, first with the lip fillers distracting from her sageuk visuals and now with news that she’s dating fellow idol and rapper T.O.P. formerly of Big Bang. The two met earlier this year when she costarred in his new MV and their relationship flowed from there. I’m sure some holier than thou K-netizens will decry these two “scandal-prone” stars getting together but honestly who cares hope these two very attractive and age-compatible stars enjoy dating and see where it goes from there.
Definitely a top tier visual couple (even if they aged somewhat badly). Love it when hot people date hot people.
Nobody cares about BigBang anymore. K-pop has evolved too quickly since their era. To the newer generation of fans, artists like T.O.P are largely forgotten.
“Nobody cares” is a pretty sweeping claim for a group whose 2026 world tour opening shows sold out in 22 minutes. G-Dragon also won Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Song of the Year at the 2025 Melon Music Awards. Those are recent achievements, not memories from their heyday.
As for T.O.P, appearing as Thanos in Squid Game Season 2 hardly supports the idea that he has disappeared from public view.
Of course K-pop has evolved, and some newer fans may be less familiar with earlier generations. But that doesn’t make BIGBANG irrelevant or erase their influence on the artists who followed. You’re entitled to your preferences; treating them as a measure of what everyone else cares about is another matter.
Its probably only G-Dragon that is still relevant. I was so surprised Ubermensch sold a million copies. Thats more than any albums Big Bang have sold. At this point he is probably more popular than his group.
Taeyang and Daesung are cruising by with Big Bang’s name, with Dae having more impact because of his Japanese fanbase and talent in variety show. T.O.P on the other hand, has completely flopped.
I was never a fan of BIGBANG but they still keep moving millions of folks to their tours, which the freshest KPOP groups can’t do yet. LOL. It’s smoke and mirrors because although it seems like there’s noise around them but it doesn’t really translate to real folks wanting to see them, which explains why several groups have low attendance at concerts/tours.
BIGBANG is not confined to the KPOP bubble which has made them have a big male fanbase.
They still have a certain legacy.
Groups like 2PM are already forgotten. Data does not lie.😂
