On June 29th, streaming giant Netflix announced the cast of the long-awaited and anticipated second season of its most popular series to date, Squid Game. 

In addition to many of the actors from season one returning, like Lee Jung Jae and Gong Yoo, it was revealed that many new faces would join the cast, including Jo Yu Ri and former BIGBANG member T.O.P (Cho Seung Hyun).

Not everyone has been a fan of the casting choices, citing various controversies involving some of the actors.

1. Lee Byung Hun

Actor Lee Byung Hun has been involved in numerous controversies throughout the years.

In 2009, an ex-girlfriend accused him of tricking her into a sexual relationship based on the promise of marriage. She also alleged he was a chronic gambler, though he was cleared on those charges in court.

While his wife was pregnant, Lee Byung Hun was involved in a blackmailing scandal involving GLAM‘s Dahee and model Lee Ji Yeon. The two women allegedly extorted the actor over an alleged video of him making lewd comments to them they secretly recorded.

Lee Ji Yeon claimed that the two were dating, and both women were sentenced to prison for their crimes.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Lee Byung Hun owed hundreds of millions of won in back taxes.

2. T.O.P

While investigating notorious ex-trainee Han Seo Hee in 2017, investigators learned that T.O.P had smoked marijuana with her. This information led them to drug testing T.O.P, who tested positive despite initially denying it.

During the incident, T.O.P was under mental distress and psychologically stressed out. He met with Han Seo Hee when he was drunk and spontaneously decided to smoke with her.

T.O.P is deeply sorry for what he did and regrets it a lot. He did drink heavily and took Han Seo Hee up on her suggestion [to smoke] but he ended his relationship with Han Seo Hee and stopped smoking marijuana.
