Big Bang’s TOP (Choi SeungHyun)
has been casted for the role of MyungHoon in the movie “Alumnus”.

Alumnus” will be the story of MyungHoon, who follows orders as a killer who infiltrates South Korea, in order to save his younger sister HyeIn.

TOP’s character MyungHoon is a North Korean who endures training in order to grow and become a killer. He goes to South Korea on a homicidal mission, disguised with a new identity as a North Korean defector high school student. On one hand, MyungHoon coldly kills renegades on North Korean command, but on the other, he meets and develops strange feelings towards a female student in the same class as him who shares the same name as his younger sister.

This will be TOP’s first movie appearance in two years, following his excellent performance in “Into the Fire” in 2010, for which TOP played the role of main character JangBeom and won the Best New Actor awards at Baeksang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards. Following this, TOP received many “love calls” from the industry for dramas and movies, but while TOP was concerned about joining a production that he could truly immerse himself in, he came across “Alumnus” and eventually confirmed his appearance in the film.

TOP shared his enthusiasm for the role stating, “I was really drawn to the character of MyungHoon because of the fact he has the image of a cold-blooded killer, yet at the same time has an innocence that comes from being the age of a high school student. I’m already nervous about how to portray this.

Alumnus”, which is becoming a hot topic as it marks TOP’s comeback to the big screen in two years, is scheduled to begin filming in July. Director Park ShinWoo, who successfully combined mystery and melodrama in the film “White Night”, will direct this film, which will combine action and melodrama, telling the story of a boy raised to be a master killer, who struggles with his identity after his heart is divided upon meeting a girl.

I wish they changed the setting to a college or an university as TOP doesn't really look like a high school student any more.

... but TOP has like one emotion. How will he be able to take on a drama?

its not a drama. its a film. and he's already done dramas before anyway. i didnt see any of them but what clips i have seen he did show more than one emotion altho he mainly plays the stoic type thats true. wish he would break out of that and do something else tbh.

Just because he poses the same in every picture doesn't mean his acting is the same. Have you seen him act? Or just, not posing?

Reminds me of Into the Fire. Student made into a killer, except it is the other way around here, and he is fighting for a different side.

He seriously needs to get away from movies/dramas which involve guns and killers... Am looking forward to it though...

I was hoping it wasn't a killer/badass role again but nope. He needs to do like Cha Seung Won did and take on a rom-com or fantasy-com cause I'm pretty sure he'd be great at it. He can even do the rich-spoiled-playboy-grandson role that Seunggi used to always do, as long as it's something different and not a saeguk (which will never happen) then I'll be happy.

yeah exactly. I am kind of tired of TOP always playing these stoic badass types. its boring. and i generally feel bored by such characters anyway. I hope in the future he tries to do something a bit different. the roles he was rumored for last year were really interesting i wish he'd gotten to do one of those instead.

IKR. He's perfect in their parodies (if that is anything to go by...), a more comical style would definitely suit him well.

yeah i know which is why im annoyed that he's doing this role again.

ught right? he's just a sweet goofball in real life and they keep trying to make him the dark anti hero type and just NO. It upset me too when TOP was talking about his role in IRIS and how emotionally exhausting it was and affected his mood. i was just like noooo baby nooo. just doing something fun and light hearted! he really is hilarious in the parodies so i hope he does one day. i think he will eventually its just a matter of when.

I would just die if he'd take on a role like Dokko Jin.

I would spend the days laughing and crying at that. mostly cause that was my reaction to Dokko Jin, he was ridiculous. and TOP can totally do ridiculous as it is within his nature to be ridiculous lol.

He's totally been typecast at this point (though I don't think he cares lol)
