Yesterday on June 6, K-pop fans all over the world received devastating news as Choi Seung-hyun a.k.a. T.O.P from South Korean boy band YG Entertainment’s Big Bang was rushed to the ICU after being found unconscious.
Shortly after, YG Entertainment released an official statement, “We’ve been told T.O.P is receiving intensive care for a drug overdose after being taken to the emergency room. His mother is currently staying beside him at the hospital.”
It should be noted that T.O.P was recently expelled from the military police division because of marijuana use, so this isn’t the first time the 29-year-old singer has been linked to drugs.
Today, his tearful mother provided us with a heartbreaking update:
“My son is still unconscious and to read articles that say he’s “deep in sleep” is hurtful. Please edit and refrain from saying such things. We don’t know how things will turn out. My son is in critical condition. I see my son dying but I also see reports saying he’s just sleeping. Isn’t that wrongful reporting?”
She also revealed that T.O.P is being aided with a breathing device to receive oxygen, adding, “Due to the lack of oxygen, he may have possible brain damage.”
YG Entertainment then mentioned, “When T.O.P’s mother saw the police quote she was furious. T.O.P is currently wearing an oxygen mask and he is unconscious. Visitation rights are restricted and only close relatives are looking over him.”
We’re honestly hoping for the best right now..
