[Picture] TOP’s Star Diary Part 8: “Cheating While Dating is Definitely a ‘NO’!”

Being very discrete about his love life, TOP shares his views on dating and living his life as a celebrity.

Even though TOP’s image may come off as being a ‘player’ through his music videos and stage persona, fans who idealize Big Bang’s oldest member as their perfect boyfriend will be happy to learn that TOP has a ‘no cheating whatsoever’ policy while dating.I’ve never cheated when I had a girlfriend. I think it’s a question of loyalty. But because I have a rather free personality, there aren’t many girls who can take that. I like a girl who can sensibly guide me…I never wanted to get married but recently I’ve been changing my mind. I want to get married when I’m around 40 or after doing my work for a long time.

I don’t want to share any details about my past dating experience. I think that’s the polite thing to do for my future girl. Of course if I get dumped, I do write about it in the lyrics. It’s because I’ve always written lyrics that way. But I don’t think I’m the type to get deeply hurt from being in love.

I don’t have time to be sad or lonely. Of course after busily working I often space out when I get back to the dorms. Truthfully, it’s not easy living life as a celebrity.
One day I’m thrown onto a movie set and the next I’m under the spotlight on stage. It gets disorienting, and it also drains oneself physically and mentally. Sometimes the boss [Yang HyunSuk] comes to my room and offers me guidance. He’s been through the celebrity lifestyle, so he knows exactly what to say in each situation. He sees things that even I don’t see and helps me have a broader perspective of life. He stays by my side as more of a big brother than as a boss. I’m very grateful to have him.
