The year has only begun, but there are already tons of exciting things coming soon in the K-pop world. After teasing fans with his long-awaited comeback, rapper T.O.P (탑) has officially announced his return to music with a new album.
On 1st January 2026 (Thursday), the former BIGBANG (빅뱅) member shared a video on his Instagram, confirming his comeback with a new album. The post writes, “A NEW ALBUM IS ON THE WAY. TOP SPOT – 다중관점 [ANOTHER DIMENSION]”. It’s believed that “ANOTHER DIMENSION” is the title of the upcoming release. Meanwhile, the video shows T.O.P writing the album title on a large blank piece of paper.
The upcoming release marks T.O.P’s first solo release in 13 years, after the release of his 2013 digital single, “DOOM DADA”. The album is also his first music project since his departure from BIGBANG in 2023. The rapper, whose real name is Choi Seunghyun (최승현), has been active in other non-musical projects, including acting. In late 2024 and early 2025, the idol received media attention for his role as Thanos in the hit Netflix drama, “Squid Games”.
The news of T.O.P’s comeback has been well-received so far, with many fans eager to listen to his new material. The star previously hinted at his comeback during an interview in June 2025, revealing that the album has been in the works for some time. There were also rumours that he had planned to announce his comeback at MAMA 2025 after allegations that he was a secret guest at the awards ceremony.
