Nana's View on Dating: "Doesn't Drink Alcohol and Uses Polite Speech" — What about T.O.P's Past Drug Record?

As T.O.P and Nana surprised everyone by admitting to their relationship, T.O.P's "unique dating views" that he shared in the past have been summoned once again. From his preference of "liking someone who doesn't drink alcohol" to the unexpected condition of "wanting them to use polite speech," his past remarks are drawing renewed interest as they overlap with his current romance.

T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun) from BIGBANG and actress Nana from After School admitted to their relationship through their respective agencies immediately after dating photos were released on the 2nd. The agencies of the two stated, "They are currently in a good relationship," and Nana is engaging in a public relationship for the first time since her debut.

The connection between the two began in a music video. Nana first met T.O.P while appearing in the music video for his solo album title track "Completely Crazy!", and they are known to have grown close afterward. It is reported that the two developed into a romantic couple around last June. Following the sudden announcement of the relationship, Nana directly shared her feelings with fans, saying, "You must have been very flustered," and "We will date beautifully and healthily."

Consequently, the dating stories revealed by T.O.P on MBC's "Radio Star" in 2016 are gaining attention again. At that time, T.O.P revealed his dating history, stating, "From the age of 19 until now, I have dated exactly three people." In particular, regarding questions about his ideal type, he drew attention by stating he prefers women who do not drink alcohol.

There was a reason why T.O.P developed such conditions. He confessed that he previously dated a girlfriend who liked drinking for about 3 to 4 years, but because they drank together, there weren't many memories that actually remained. Afterward, he thought he should meet someone who does not drink.

There was an even more unexpected condition. At the time, T.O.P expressed a sentiment of wanting to maintain a certain distance even between lovers, saying, "I hate being interfered with." Furthermore, he revealed a taste quite different from general dating views by stating, "I would also like them to use polite speech and I wouldn't want us to get too close."

While these remarks passed as simple talk about ideal types in the past, they are being discussed again now that his actual romantic partner has been revealed, increasing fan interest. Especially since Nana directly mentioned the relationship and stated, "We will date beautifully and healthily," eyes are focused on what kind of relationship the two will continue to maintain.
