Actor Lee Byung Hun's BH Entertainment has also spoken up regarding the rumors that certain figures in high positions "pulled strings" to bring former Big Bang member T.O.P (Choi Seung Hyun) on board for Netflix's 'Squid Game' season 2.
Lee Byung Hun and T.O.P are known to be close acquaintances. Last year, the two stars were seen dining out with the Japanese billionaire Maezawa Yusaku, who is sponsoring a civilian mission to the moon with T.O.P as one of the spaceship's passengers.
Furthermore, according to industry insiders, T.O.P is currently working with CEO Kang Jung Woo of Hiin Entertainment for his management in Korea. Kang Jung Woo was formerly an officer at BH Entertainment.
Regarding the various rumors surrounding T.O.P's casting in 'Squid Game 2', BH Entertainment commented on behalf of Lee Byung Hun, "We have no comments."
Meanwhile, earlier on June 29, the rumors pointed to 'Squid Game's lead actor Lee Jung Jae as the one "pulling the strings" behind the scenes. The rumors were exacerbated when 'Dispatch' reported that T.O.P and Lee Jung Jae had enjoyed a private couples' gathering in T.O.P's home in 2014.
However, unlike Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae's side strongly denied the rumors and stated, "Lee Jung Jae has not been in touch with T.O.P for years. He saw T.O.P in person for the first time in a very long time at the script reading for 'Squid Game 2', held on June 23. That was the day when Lee Jung Jae was informed that T.O.P was cast in the sequel."
