T.O.P’s family is disputing police reports that said the star is “asleep” under the influence of drugs he took.

On Wednesday morning, T.O.P’s mother teared up in front of the reporters gathered at Ewha Womans University Medical Center in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, where T.O.P is hospitalized.

She told the reporters, “My son is in bad shape. It’s as if he is dying. Police told the media that he’s drowsy from sleeping pills but that’s misinforming the public.”

“He was brought to the hospital unconscious. The doctor has confirmed this,” added T.O.P’s mother, who was seen speaking to the police.

According to YG Entertainment. T.O.P’s family is very upset that the police announced T.O.P is “asleep.” The family said that he is actually unconscious and wearing an oxygen mask.

Visiting T.O.P at the hospital is restricted and only a few family members are staying by his side.

A YG Entertainment representative told a local media outlet, “Even if he awakens, we are not sure if he had his oxygen cut off when he was first found unconscious.”

On the previous day, police claimed it was false information that T.O.P was unconscious.

Police announced Tuesday that “according to the doctor’s statement, T.O.P is not in a critical condition, but he is asleep as the drug he took had sleep inducing effects.”

“It will take a day or two for the drug to wear out and afterward, T.O.P will have no trouble going back to his normal life,” they added.

T.O.P was indicted Monday under charges of smoking marijuana. He was found Tuesday showing symptoms similar to a drug overdose inside the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Yangcheon-gu.

Since February, T.O.P has been carrying out his mandatory military service as a conscripted policeman. He had been stationed at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, but was transferred to a different police corps following his indictment.

T.O.P’s mother has finally spoken out about T.O.P’s condition, stating that he’s in extremely critical condition and “close to dying”.

T.O.P’s Mother Shares First Real Update On His Condition

T.O.P’s mother has angrily refuted all claim that T.O.P is simply “sleeping”, begging Korean media to stop releasing false info. She tearfully requested that they stop claiming that T.O.P is conscious or doing well.

“My son is still unconscious and to read articles that say he’s “deep in sleep” is hurtful. Please edit and refrain from saying such things. We don’t know how things will turn out. My son is in critical condition. I see my son dying but I also see reports saying he’s just sleeping. Isn’t that wrongful reporting?” — T.O.P’s Mother

She continued on to reveal heartbreaking details about the condition of T.O.P. In her statement, she announced that T.O.P is nearly close to dying and is currently being assisted by a breathing device to receive oxygen.

“Due to the lack of oxygen, he may have possible brain damage.” — T.O.P’s Mother

YG Entertainment also released a statement, after T.O.P’s mother. Their statement also shares the same anger as hers, re-confirming that only his family and closer relatives are with him.

“When T.O.P’s mother saw the police quote she was furious. T.O.P is currently wearing an oxygen mask and he is unconscious. Visitation rights are restricted and only close relatives are looking over him.” — YG Entertainment

False Korean Sources From “Police Insider”

As Koreaboo reported, multiple Korean media outlets have been citing an anonymous “police source”, claiming that T.O.P is awake and conscious. These claims were not cited, and therefore not written on Koreaboo.

Some reports have even gone further to cite these sources as saying T.O.P was never in serious condition and was never unconscious.

These same anonymous “police sources” have also claimed that the reason T.O.P is in the intensive care unit is simply for privacy and not for the seriousness of his condition.

“Reports that he is unconscious are not true, he is in a state of deep sleep due to sleep-inducing substances in his sedatives and the test results on his blood, urine, and CT all came back normal and the family has been notified.”

“T.O.P was responsive when pinched and called by his name he wasn’t carried when he was being transported to the hospital but someone was supporting him out.” When asked why it took so long for him to get to the hospital they stated, ‘He was snoring and mumbling so we were trying to be considerate thinking that he was tired.’

When someone pointed out that they may not have been keeping a careful eye on him they stated, ‘He didn’t get this drug spontaneously he has been prescribed to it normally and one commanding officer and one regular officer has been keeping an eye on him in case he tried to do something extreme.’ “

T.O.P‘s mother expressed her anger at false reports.
She told reporters, “Is it the hospital who reported that T.O.P was sleeping? The police told me that they never said that he’d regained consciousness. But why are there articles saying he did? The doctors told us that his tongue was drying, and that he is lacking oxygen input, so he could have problems with his brain. He has an oxygen mask over his nose right now.”

She added, “When he came to the hospital, he was unconscious. He is still unconscious, but the media is being told wrong things.”
