Back in 2015, in Zutter, he wrote an incredibly brutal line: “나는 어릴 적에 살쪄봐서 돈(豚) 맛을 알아” (“I used to be fat as a kid, so I know the taste of money/pig”) The lyric plays on the Korean word “돈” (don), which can mean both “money” and “pig”. And the way “맛을 알아” flows in pronunciation subtly hints at the English word “slaughter”. In the MV, he holds a kitchen knife, and the blood spraying out is green ~ the color of U.S. dollars. Back then, he thought success meant cutting off the weak, clumsy, not-good-enough version of himself. Killing that kid so “T.O.P” could sit on the throne. He really believed that killing was the only way. Eleven years later, in Desperado, he writes something completely different: “Your angle and mine” Now he’s no longer holding a knife. Instead, he wants to face the other version of himself, talk to him, reach the same angle as him. That “you” is Tempo, the person he was before debut. He doesn’t want to kill him anymore. He wants to fully absorb him back into himself, to love him “like crazy, like it’s the last time”. After going in circles for more than a decade, he finally understood something: real wholeness doesn’t come from killing your past self. It comes from letting him return and learning to coexist with him. The two “burials” mean completely different things. In Zutter (2015), he buried the “not good enough” version of himself so he could become a god in other people’s eyes. In Desperado (2026), he buries the version of himself that was once “T.O.P” so he can become a human being again in his own eyes. It took him eleven years to go from attacking himself to finally being able to calmly hold a ceremony for the person he used to be. He’s no longer trying to kill the overweight, insecure, not-shiny-enough Choi Seunghyun. Instead, he lets that person live on in his music, as Tempo. That’s the real meaning of T.O.P stepping down from the throne and returning to being human. #탑 #TOP #최승현 #CHOISEUNGHYUN #TTTOP #ANOTHER_DIMENSION
