T.O.P Announces Solo Comeback After 13 Years with Title “ANOTHER DIMENSION”

BIGBANG member T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun) revealed through an official teaser that he is preparing a new solo album, marking the first release in 13 years since his digital single “DOOM DADA” in 2013.

On January 1, T.O.P posted a short video clip on his social media along with the caption “A NEW ALBUM IS ON THE WAY.” The video shows a man writing “TOP SPOT” and “ANOTHER DIMENSION” on paper, with the latter phrase interpreted as suggesting the title or core concept of the new album.

This solo project is T.O.P’s first musical effort since leaving BIGBANG in 2023. He debuted as a member of BIGBANG in 2006 but suspended his activities for an extended period due to a marijuana incident in 2016, after which he shifted his focus to acting.

Recently, T.O.P returned to screens by appearing in Netflix’s series “Squid Game 2,” playing the role of Thanos, a rapper who was eliminated and also works as a addiction counselor. In an interview, he recalled, “I shut myself off from the world by moving between home and the studio. I tried to survive by creating music,” adding, “I could truly breathe only when standing in front of the microphone, and I feel a responsibility to share what I create with my fans.”

Meanwhile, to celebrate their 20th anniversary this year, G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, and DAESUNG are set to perform at Coachella Festival in California, USA, in April. They had planned to perform at Coachella in 2020 but were canceled due to the pandemic.
