When did T.O.P last release music? Details explored as former BIGBANG member reportedly plans his new solo album

Word on the streets is K-pop idol T.O.P is ready to make a music comeback with the release of his debut solo album. The 37-year-old former BIGBANG member took an eleven-year hiatus from the music scene after releasing his 2013 hit single Doom Dada, which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard World Digital Songs Chart.

T.O.P previously hinted about upcoming music in an Instagram post shared on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Following the cancellation of the highly anticipated Dearmoon project, the Squid Game actor expressed his appreciation for the project founder, Mr. Yusaku, for bringing the concept to life and explained how his connection with space and the moon inspired his creative flair for making new music.

"As you may have heard, the 'dear moon' project has unfortunately been cancelled. However, I am deeply grateful to Mr Yusaku Maezawa for conceptualising the 'dear moon' project,"

The ex-BIGBANG member also gave hints that he was working on new music:

"My body and soul connected with the moon and space has already inspired me to compose a lot of new music, some of which I look forward to sharing soon."

More details on T.O.P's last release before his break from the music industry

Rumors have it that Choi Seung-hyun, popularly known as T.O.P, is set to release his first solo album after a long break from music. Before his hiatus, Choi dropped the critically acclaimed upbeat song Doom Dada on November 15, 2013.

The hip-hop track was penned by T.O.P and released via the South Korean record label YG Entertainment. Doom Dada explores themes of Self-worth, Dominance, and Rejuvenation.

An excerpt from the first verse echoes the message

"I'm getting antsy; all you little kids go sit in the corner/ I'm a sommelier who'll change your taste/ Blow on it when it's hot/ When I toss it to you, bow your head and say thank you, hooray/ Hey, mister and sister/ I'm To-To-T.O.P; the real deal is coming through,"

It continues;

"Blow on it while it's hot/ When I rap, it's so hot/ It hasn't been that long, what to do with this burnt smell?/ You, with the sleeping cells/ Have you seen the ultimate weapon?/ The thin eardrums of the sleeping soul/ I pierce the fragile eardrums of a sleeping soul with thorns, and it blazes up/ You, with the sleeping cells"

The chart-topper was accompanied by a black-and-white-themed music video that has amassed over fifty-five million views on YouTube.
