[shesmiles]

T.O.P. reminds me so much of Shinhwa's Eric Mun. it must be the rapping in english part. i'm not so sure...there's a similarity in his voice and the way he raps...is it just me???

[saywhaa]

im a new fan but im already crazy over them! lol. i thought G.Dragon was my favorite and T.O.P was my second fav. but i think T.O.P is now my favorite one! but i still love G.Dragon he is soo adorable! but T.O.P is SO damn SEXY.

[jess7ca]

Tempo is such a talented rapper. He's my fav member of BigBang. For some reason, he doesn't tend to say a lot of English sentences, like in songs. He only says one or two words XD.

I never knew he was 6 foot tall O_O. Whoa... what a tall guy XD.
I'm not sure if any of you guys know this, but Tempo used to be a fairly chubby kid in elementary school.. and in his teens.

He's such a great guy, but he would be better if he didn't get caught on smoking and drinking >3<. Oh wellll~ His choice.

[Baby.Pham]

TOP on of my fav with Gdragon and SeungRi baby... He is so talented and I love how he rap, his voice = amazing..(L) He is handsome too...O__O

[saywhaa]

dude does he really smoke tho?

I read in the "Smoking hot celebrites who smoke" forum that he smokes. But I don't believe it because only one person stated that he smoke. and I don't see any proof that he smokes so i'm trying not to believe it that he smokes and hopefully he DOESNT SMOKE! he's friggen hot and I hope that no one in big bang smokes

[01S0ULL]

oh good oies!! i hope he doesnt smoke tho even tho i said he might look hot but still it's very bad for ur health and his voice is tooooo sexy to be ruined by some dumb smoke!! gosh i hope none of them smoke either!! dat would not be sexy!! lol

[01S0ULL]

i think he shouldd be more light with the makeup . it kinda makes him look weird. but iunnnno . when i first saw him i thought he was SOOOOOO sexyyyy . he still is but the makeup sometimes makes him look scaryyy XD

awww TOP - i've always wanted to see a hot guy wear eyeliner (thereby making them even hotter) - and here i get it /..but the werid thing is i think he looks even better without it

[MUBE]

I luv Top and G-D
luv song "Webelong2gether" and "Forever with u"
so cool .
i luv his voice and his beautiful smile , eyes.

[pokedmond]

Tempo is so good looking and i luv it wen he raps in all of the big bang songs. his voice sounds really masculine n his role is similar to teddy in 1tym which i also like too.

[pokedmond]

i read a msg from the big bang thread that TOP cried in a talk show about the hard times that the band faced before their debut and i just want to say that ur hard work has paid off because all the music that you have produced is awesome and keep it up. we all supoort u greatly

[s2kangta]

tempo's so HOT!! one of my fav rappers ever besides mc mong and teddy!! different views of his face reminds me of super junior's kangin though!!! but i like them both if you didn't see tempo beatbox on youtube...you much go watch it..this guy is so talented!

[OrientGirl421]

TOP remid me of Teddy 1TYm, tey both HOT!! =P

both excellent rappers and very masculine, lol

[vivianNx3]

MISTERR TOP is HOTT...but....BAD NEWS...!... he does smoke nd so does GD....saw a piq in YGBB forum nd yea...

[rain_hero]

T.O.P. reminds me so much of Shinhwa's Eric Mun. it must be the rapping in english part. i'm not so sure...there's a similarity in his voice and the way he raps...is it just me???

LOL...me too...he reminds me of Eric..maybe thats why he's my favorite cause i effin love Eric...oh and is it just me or when he sings in "she can't get enough" he sounds a little bit like Rain...

XD i thought he would be like the cool, quiet one from the group but hes really funny XD!

i know i thought that too....and he looks like he'll be a good dancer but they say he's not much of a dancer...but thats fine....

awww TOP - i've always wanted to see a hot guy wear eyeliner (thereby making them even hotter) - and here i get it /..but the werid thing is i think he looks even better without it

TOP can speak English, and he was voted by Jinu and Sean during the documentation, also he was named [TOP] by Se7en, the initials T O P means something in Korean, something like always reaching for the top. Tempo was a name he used before YG when he did performances for an underground club I think...scary o-o'

[baybiC_7]

aww that suks that they smoke....i mean its just beter if they didnt smoke....but i will love them aways!!! I LOVE TOP AND GD, i think they are the only favs. for me especially gd....so cute

[bapeman]

Top may not have the super cool dance moves down half of the time, but he stills tries his best to get them down ^^.

YB, GD, SR, and DS can definitely break dance! No doubt about that, but I think that's it's cool how SR does most of the choreography for their performances.

[borami2206]

haha the black-n-white picture of top smoking is SO FAKE!!! lookt at the hand holding the cigarette... it's an old person's hand... and besides top is tall and that hand looks like a short person's hand...




he looks scary when he was chubby. well not scary but like someone who's aggressive... XD
he looks so much better after he lost weight. cuz his cheek bones are hot ^^

[dark_FRAMES]

really? top and g-dragon smokes? well...i kinda knoe that top does...but g-dragon? dang it!

i had so much luv 4 him though!but their both still hot. anyways does g-dragon really smoke?

can someone prove it to me by showing a pix or something!!!

[May.T]

Hmm... I guess that I believe that T.O.P smokes now, but the question is...does he STILL smoke? I seriously have something for the guys that look bad but I'm like SOO turned off by a smoker.
