T.O.P Confirms Solo Music Video Featuring Nana

T.O.P, formerly of BIGBANG, is preparing to release new solo music for the first time in over a decade, and actress-singer Nana will appear in the accompanying music video, raising anticipation for a striking on-screen collaboration.

A First-Time Collaboration Draws Attention

On February 9, a representative from T.O.P’s side confirmed to local media that Nana has been cast in the music video for T.O.P’s upcoming solo release. According to reports, filming was completed last year, marking the first time the two artists have worked together.

The pairing of Nana and T.O.P has already sparked interest among fans, largely due to their contrasting yet complementary visual presence. Both artists are known for their strong individuality and screen charisma, making the collaboration a notable point of discussion even before the music itself has been revealed.

As this marks their first joint project, expectations are focused less on storyline details and more on how their visual synergy will shape the mood and identity of the music video.

Hints Pointing to a New Musical Direction

T.O.P previously hinted at his return on January 1, when he shared a video on Instagram alongside the caption “A NEW ALBUM IS ON THE WAY.” He later added the phrase “ANOTHER DIMENSION,” suggesting the album’s title and signaling a concept-driven project rather than a simple standalone release.

While specific release dates and track details have yet to be announced, the posts marked T.O.P’s first clear confirmation of new solo music in years.

First Solo Music in 13 Years

The upcoming release will be T.O.P’s first solo song since ‘DOOM DADA,’ which was released in November 2013. The timing carries added significance, as 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of BIGBANG’s debut, placing his return within a broader moment of reflection for longtime fans.

T.O.P debuted in 2006 as a member of BIGBANG and played a key role in shaping the group’s identity through both music and performance. After participating in BIGBANG’s 2022 digital single ‘Still Life,’ he officially departed the group in 2023.

Gradual Return to Public Activities

Following a lengthy hiatus from entertainment activities, T.O.P made a notable return to acting in Netflix’s ‘Squid Game 2,’ released in December 2024, where he portrayed the character Thanos. The role marked his first acting project in approximately eight years and signaled a cautious re-entry into the industry.

With a solo album now underway and a high-profile collaboration confirmed, attention is turning to how T.O.P will redefine his artistic identity in this next phase. The involvement of Nana suggests a visually intentional project one that prioritizes atmosphere, contrast, and presence as much as sound.
