TOP for High Cut
by | January 7, 2011 | 63 Comments

TOP (Into the Gunfire, IRIS) poses for High Cut in a book-nerd-meets-pop-star kind of way, which is to say, kooky and kind of adorable. The hair is still crazy, but it’s strangely growing on me. When he showed up to the Blue Dragon Awards looking like that, I sort of lost my lunch, but maybe it’s all about styling, as he manages to pull it off with flair here.

I pretty much think he should live in his glasses. What? I like my boys outwardly nerdy, and inwardly hot. It’s not new, but it’s a classic for a reason.

          It’s like winning something huge if we get the first to comment in DB.
          You broke my chance today. lol..

    • 2.2 maria

      definitely weird for me too.

      ladies, where do we stand on the nerd outside, hot inside debacle? …i say yes, but i think TOP does NOT count. because… erm… (dont kill me, i know you’re out there die-hards)

      because nerdy glasses + aw shucks kinda guy = cute
      BUT nerdy glasses + outfits like these = hipster.

      HIPSTER! …like the kind who don’t like to be CALLED hipster, but turn anyway when you shout out, “HIPSTER!” …..true story.

      • 2.2.1 kay

        hipster yes, but still adorably cute bc his personality is so awkward, shy and conservative. there’s like no pictures of him topless! or even just revealing his arms.

        please help guide me to any of these photos if they do exist!

        • 2.2.1.1 tazanya

          as a diehard top fangirl, yes there are VERY VERY few pics of top anywhere near showing some skin, but there are a few shirt lifts from Big Bang’s La La La era (usually his wifebeater covers anything worth seeing though),

          out of the literally hundrdes of top pics — here is the only ab shot :( http://i54.tinypic.com/2yoaeee.jpg

    coincidence, this is TOP posts, I wanna share link I found in daum.

    http://www.tvreport.co.kr/?c=news&m=newsview&idx=86160

    I read briefly that Full House season 2 will be coming real, and possibility casts that I read in that link is Song Joong Ki, Shi Min A, and Big Bang TOP. correct me if I am wrong, I am not Korea native, btw

    • 3.1 Lizz

      I think it hasn’t been confirmed yet. But I don’t mind watching more joongki :P

      PS: Do you believe joongki actually older than TOP???

      • 3.1.1 kay

        OMG that is true but so strange. joongki is like a little baby!

    • 3.2 cherrylim

      omg! that would be a dream come true!
      3 of my favourite stars !

    • 3.3 diadda

      송중기, 신민아, 빅뱅 탑

      Song Joong Ki, Shin Min Ah, Big Bang TOP

      All linked to it but not confirmed. With others mentioned too :)

      • 3.3.1 brookeeve

        Squeal!

      • 3.3.2 danna

        for real??!…i thought the rumor abt the possibility has been arund for more than a year so it had lost ground to me..but this is an exciting development…..but it wouldnt really be a sequel right (as kdramas go)….since the story of the first one was kinda completed?

    • 3.4 lovenyc52

      omo… if that’s true, i am 100% in. i never even watched the first one cuz i’m not a big Rain fan.. but combine my lover, the cutest gumiho ever, and Yummy? Totally in :)

      • 3.4.1 brookeeve

        If you watch Let’s Go To School you’ll be a Rain fan…. but that might be the only thing that you’ll ever like him in.

        • 3.4.1.1 kay

          o my goodness. his hair was so horrible in that. but yes i really loved him in that. and lee dong gun! those two boys should have just run away together. swooon

  4. Sumee

    weird things/people are always attractive for me ! ;-)

  5. L'horreurD'Esther

    The pictures are awesome and smooth! The 1st x….I was really shocked! I mean I thought, “Why would you want to look like a Korean younger Andy Warhol??” but to my surprise after looking at it and pondering. He looks very smoldering. It has an inner fire! He carries it so smoothly.

    Me too, girlfriday! I like outwardly nerdy but inwardly cool. However, I still want some intellectual prowess accompanied by witty jokes, and sexy stares. Haha!

    Ok javabeans or girlfriday….please tell me where I can get that desktop wallpaper of charming Yoo Ah in? I really, really want it! I mean…ALL of your wallpapers I want them BUT especially this one on YAI!!!!

    • 5.1 PickmePICKME

      OMG hahah TOP is a big fan of Andy Warhol. He told me so himself. No im not a fan girl I am is future wife. Seriously. hehehehe But as always he takes my breath away.

  6. Rexy

    My heart always goes a little pitter-patter when I see him in his nerd glasses.

  7. djes

    read on Omona that TOP’s hairstyle reminds us to Jay Manuel ( of American Next Top Model ), which is true, IMO.

    He and G-Dragon always sport weird hairstyles.
    I also didn’t like when first time I saw it, but indeed it’s growing on me. He has this sharp facial structure, combined with his cool / nerdy / cute / quirky expressions, I think he’s the best looking one in Big Bang.

    I guess he’s one example of the idol singer that really can act. But then we never see him on rom com. Oh I wish somebody casts him in one!

  8. news

    Oh, I just saw him today in Gangnam :)

  9. absothe

    Can I just say I love his eyebrows :P

  10. 10 Miyumi

    LOL. I wonder where they buy glasses without lenses? I want one!

    • 10.1 maria

      duhhling you buy glasses anywhere and poke out the lenses. or get a midget to punch ‘em out. :)

  11. 11 Lee

    I’ve always had a soft spot for TOP I have no idea why. I think the hair suits him, reminds me of a coconut covered marshmallow with the darker hair peeking through. He looks really good in suits too, altogether nom nom nom…tasty!

  12. 12 Xtine

    Totally agree with you: “I like my boys outwardly nerdy, and inwardly hot”. It just makes them more smexy! Lol.

  13. 13 Jamie Ann

    He used to have this of Ed Westwick – ish (Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl) aura about him on their Lollipop MV which i totally dig. ^__^

    Now, with that hair, he sorta reminds me of Mr. Jay Manuel from America’s Next Top Model (the photo shoot creative director) – I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but its definitely interesting.

    • 13.1 SilentReader

      YEAH!! I thought it was just me who thought he looks lick Chuck Bass, its the eyebrows I tell ya, the eyebrows!!

      • 13.1.1 izzie

        it looks more like Lance Bass to me. :D eyebrows + hair.

  14. 14 cherrylim

    what did top get done to his face?
    he looks so different now
    his lost that mean angry look
    but i have to say he is sooo hot now

    • 14.1 lovenyc52

      @ cherrylim

      … i think he’s just smiling a bit more in these photos :D the angry scowl probably would not match their nerdy/kooky concept lol

  15. 15 bobbie

    I’m am so with you on the glasses. Adds an extra 10 different kinds of hot.

  16. 16 brookeeve

    And I thought someone told me I have a problem???

    It’s okay though, I completely understand why my T.O.P has caught your attention.

    • 16.1 myweithisway

      I totally respect you and your rights but after these pics, I’m itching to fight with you for rights to TOP. Or at least the chance to borrow him for a day or two…complete with the glasses =)

  17. 17 izzie

    pic#1: the groom tumbled down the wedding cake and got an icing head. :)

  18. 18 Vendetta

    OH MOM! I LOVE THE HAIR!! GO T.O.P HIGH HIGHHHH IN DA SKYYYY~~~!<3333

    • 18.1 anon

      OH MY GOD , OH YEAH!!!!! ^ THIS!!!!

  19. 19 Carmie

    I love the whole package but mainly because I’m very biased with it comes to TOP. And he didn’t touch his eyebrows. If he dyed those babies as well I would have probably hated this style.
    I just love how lately he’s not as awkward as he used to be in photoshoots. He’s actually been displaying a lot of confidence.

  20. 20 Severine

    T.O.P!!!

    For some reason I really love the last picture…it’s probably the raised eyebrow/careless yawn combo. And I must say his hair is growing on me too. I think it’s because his roots are finally coming in, giving him that edgy bad boy look. Oh, the glasses…le sigh, le swoon, le drool.

  21. 21 lovin it

    he can pull off that hair! ahh i love his eyebrows, eyes and smirk :)

  22. 22 lovenyc52

    my lover is so hot :D nerdy, angry, dorky, hipster-y, chuck bass-y – ALL HOT <3

  23. 23 Cassandra

    RAAAWWWRRRR!! Love him! I just love the way he looks at the camera, very intense. And the hair has definitely grown on me as well.

  24. 24 Kender

    The hair’s been growing on me, especially since that + glasses makes him look less like Spock. XD

    And I like awkward-hot boys (like my hubby KDW), so I’m right there on the nerd bandwagon ^^

  25. 25 danni

    TOP’s blonde (white?) hair used to bother me at first and I kept thinking, “Change it back, change it back!” but I definitely like it now, maybe because I’ve gotten used to it.

    I like all these pictures and I have to agree, TOP should keep the glasses. It’s strangely sexy and nerdy at the same time.

  26. 26 E- kun

    It is too many hotties exposing themselves in 2011! It’s only the 7th day in the new year! 7!! I have always had a thing for that Bingu TOP. That was the only reason I decided to finish IRIS.

  27. 27 Lilian

    TOP, the most conservative idol. I don’t think he ever even wears t-shirts. Like maybe once in a while for shoots or something. But hey, that doesn’t stop him from still making girls swoon.

  28. 28 Ashes

    I think his eyebrows are made of sex

  29. 29 heejung

    he reminds me of sakuragi from slam dunk in that last pic there. cute :D

  30. 30 stargazer

    TOP always plays it cool. I’m happy that he’s showing more of his quirky and fun personality. XD
    Definitely, Nerdy outside + Cool inside = Total Knock Out!
    I gotta share these pics of him wearing his cool glasses. XD

    Did anyone read his interview with 10asia on his new album? It’s a very interesting and enjoyable read. Always love 10asia interviews. TOP is such a deep thinker. G-Dragon also.

      GD (aka MY LOVER!) is always a HARD THINKER..and HARD WORKER. He puts a lot of pressure on himself as leader and entertainer.

      I LOVE the picture with the pedals.

  31. 31 Ani

    I think I didn’t like the hair before because he decided to kill Barney and wear him as a suit. But without the purple, it’s not bad. Though I still think he looks better in black hair.

  32. 32 cherry18

    TOP!!! ^^

  33. 33 girlatsea

    Aww, I love TOP. There’s just something about him. He’s just so dorky. I thought he was crazy when he dyed his hair but I love it now, so it’s all good.

  34. 34 tandh24

    What is up with the high water pants? Kim Jae Wook (?) on Mary Stayed out all Night, Song Seung Heon on My Princess, and now Top on High Cut are all wearing them.

  35. 35 Flore

    The minute I saw him in “High High” with that haircut, I screamed. He has so much charisma that he can work the bleached hair.

  36. 36 anon

    I personally though he looked awesome in haru hru and turn it up
    Even though GD <3 might be the most popular now my fave has always been TOP (LURVE his voice)
    he should do more rock like linkin park hybrid theory style or breaking benjamin

  37. 37 lb_tmi

    i was thisclose to fighting w/ my twin over HER tabi and brookeve’s TOP, but i controlled myself. i’m actually pretty content with just looking. neither of them can ever take that away from me, or it’s on.

    i didn’t realize that there were THISMANY TOP fans on DB. it’s a good thing that everyone lives in their own dimensional universe w/ their own versions of Tabi/TOP/dorkw/glasses/nerdyhipster, or this would be a very very violent world. :D

    ain’t he gorgeous?

  38. 38 SadieStarr

    i was also tottaly against the hair when the music vid of HIGH cme out..btu yea..its growing on me

  39. 39 misscoh
