In 2014, Lee Jung-jae and Im Se-ryung's secret date place was the T.O.P's house in Hannam-dong. The two were in the luxury villa of the T.O.P.  

Lee Jung-jae and T.O.P are famously close friends in the entertainment industry. The two built a friendship based on a common hobby. They went to the Hong Kong Art Fair together and drank wine at Lim Se-ryung's restaurant.

Lee Jung-jae started to save his brother T.O.P Lee Jung-jae also sought to recruit T.O.P in the past. It ended in failure at the time. But this time, he got on board the game he was going to lead.

T.O.P  will appear in Netflix's 'Squid Game 2'. It is said that Lee Jung-jae had a say. Lee Jung-jae is the star of 'Squid Game 2'. He's a total key man. 

In fact, 'Squid Game 2' is a game that cannot be without Lee Jung-jae. He has already called Netflix more than $1 million in guarantees per episode (X13).

Netflix made a huge profit from 'Squid Game'. According to an internal Netflix document in October 2021, it earned more than $900 million (about 1.24 trillion won).

From Netflix, Lee Jung-jae's demands cannot be ignored. Lee Jung-jae's appearance fee has to raise more than $13 million. The total amount is close to 20 billion won.

Netflix has to pay more than $13 million for Lee Jung-jae's appearance. The total amount is close to 20 billion won.

It is a possible game for Lee Jung-jae to find the actor's rights with guarantee.But it's different if he has a say in casting. Especially, T.O.P is a completely different story.

In 2016, T.O.P stopped all activities due to marijuana use issues. He hinted several times that he would retire from the entertainment industry. Last year, he completed the contract with 'YG', and in May, 'Big Bang' also withdrew.

It is the first time in seven years that he has returned to acting. It has been closed since 'Commitment (2013)', 'Tazza: The Hidden Card(2014)', and the Chinese film 'Out of Control' (2016). 

We asked T.O.P if he had an audition. "We can't give you an answer other than the official Netflix answer",they said. There is no way to know what fierce competition he went through to win the character. 

Netflix's ambiguous position is also a problem. They put strict standards on celebrities who caused controversy in society. Before the final judgment of the law, they ruled first. Typical examples are the actors of 'Hellbound', 'Match', 'Victory', and 'Bloodhound' actors.

However, it was different in front of 'Squid Game2' Regardless of the actor's drug history, it's okay if the series goes well. We called several times to ask the reason for the casting, but They avoided contacting us.  

Netflix earned 773.3 billion won in Korea last year. However, the corporate tax paid to Korea was 3.3 billion won, which is suspected of tax avoidance.They, the answer against them, is always avoidance.
