Korean superstar T.O.P. from BIGBANG was reportedly discovered unconscious from a drug overdose and was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday morning.
According to the Korean Herald, the k-pop star was moved to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the same afternoon.
The drug he overdosed on was reported to be muscle relaxants, and he is not purported to be in any danger.
However, it is currently not known whether T.O.P has regained consciousness, as a number of Korean news sites are providing different accounts on the matter.

T.O.P, whose real name is Choi Seung-hyun, is famous in the K-pop world as one-fifth of BIGBANG, a South Korean boyband whose members are labeled as the "Kings of K-pop".
He is also known for his collaboration with longtime friend and fellow rapper G-Dragon, when the band was on hiatus in 2010, branding their work as GD and TOP.
Just a day ago, he was dismissed from military service after getting tangled in a marijuana scandal.
(Editor's note: Different media outlets have varying reports on whether T.O.P has regained consciousness, and we have changed the article to reflect that.)
