T.O.P's Fan Site CHOIDOT Un-Quits After 20 Years Once He Apologizes Personally

T.O.P's longtime fan site CHOIDOT is back, barely a month after announcing it was done. On the 11th, the operators said on X that they would resume activities after the former BIGBANG member apologized to them personally.

The site, also known as Choi Seunghyun Dot Com, launched in 2006. It announced its closure on Oct. 9 and did not go quietly: the operators criticized both T.O.P and his agency, TOPSPOT Pictures, over poor communication and the growing burden on fans who organize support activities. That is a messy way to end nearly two decades.

How the reversal happened

The turn came on Nov. 1, when T.O.P posted a lengthy apology on Instagram. He thanked the operators for standing by him for 20 years and apologized for the misunderstandings and hurt they had experienced.

In the new statement, CHOIDOT said he had also reached out to them directly, and that this played a major role in the decision to return. The operators added that his agency had answered their concerns with an apology of its own.

What the fans said

The operators did not pretend the dispute never happened. They acknowledged that reopening would not erase what went on, but said they wanted to support T.O.P again.

They also apologized for the confusion their shutdown announcement caused. Their stated hope is to go back to simply enjoying his music, rather than feeling responsible for propping up his career. Whether TOPSPOT's communication actually changes is the open question, and the statement does not say.
