[Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Jin-up] Singer and actor T.O.P. turned heads with a stylized eating show — a mukbang — filmed with Nana.
In a video posted to T.O.P.’s official channel on the 28th, the pair appeared in matching black-and-white sporty outfits. Nana, in a striking orange wig, leaned into a mysterious, almost otherworldly look.
The menu for the episode featured jokbal, a braised pig’s-trotters dish, and instant noodles. Known for keeping a strict diet, Nana said, “Since my senior is here, I set my diet aside to cheer him on,” signaling she planned to indulge for the segment. T.O.P. admitted, “This is my first time on YouTube in 20 years since my debut,” and, despite some initial awkwardness, he helped warm the moment by offering food to Nana himself — a small gesture that highlighted their warm senior–junior chemistry.
T.O.P. explained why he cast Nana in the music video, saying, “When I first made the song ‘Completely Crazy,’ I imagined a mysterious woman who could belong to any era, and Nana fit that image best.” After watching the finished video, Nana responded, “Even though the concept is different, it strangely resembles what I had imagined — which surprised me.”
During an album segment, T.O.P. spoke passionately about his new release, TOP SPOT. He said he wanted the record to feel less like a conventional album and more like a collectible piece of art, describing illustrations that visualize each song’s inspiration and a distinctive can-lid–style design meant to excite fans.
