The “2024 MAMA Awards” were held over a week ago on November 21-23, but its impact—or the impact of BIGBANG at the award show—remains relevant, so it seems. Following the performance that has now accrued over 24M+ views on YouTube, T.O.P is also back in the spotlight amid a Chinese actress claiming her past relationship with the former member.
Niki, also known as Yi Yizi, was seen in a short clip shared to her Weibo in which T.O.P was referred to as her “ex.” In the clip, she moved on to talk about her own MAMA adventure without naming the former BIGBANG member.
Voice: Your ex’s groupmates just went on MAMA. Look at you.
Niki: What do you mean? I’m no slouch either. I’ve been to MAMA.

Niki: Look at this. Center. MAMA as a center.
Voice: Oh my gosh. A person who appeared on MAMA as a center!
But given the past dating rumors, fans connected the dots and believed it to be Niki confirming her relationship with the K-Pop idol. It was around 2016, after Niki posted a photo of herself posing with T.O.P, that the dating rumors circulated online—and at the time, neither person involved responded to the speculations.
In May 2023, T.O.P left BIGBANG—which G-Dragon then “confirmed” in November 2024. On his own, T.O.P has since taken on acting with Squid Game Season 2. In a casual comment via his social media, he has also hinted at a 2025 comeback.
