Controversy
Fans of the South Korean K-pop group BIGBANG (also known as VIP's) stirred up an online riot in response to Hwanjangji's Nickname "T-P", which is very similar to BIGBANG's TOP. Hwanjangji made a live broadcast to give apologies to VIP's, but decided to keep his nickname for personal reasons. T-P's fans say that his nickname was given to him by his father, who died in 2007. There has also been a stir in the K-pop community, as some people have an issue with toilet paper debuting as a K-pop idol.
