After 13 Years, T.O.P Launches Official Japan Fan Community

Fans of T.O.P are witnessing what many are calling the beginning of a new chapter.

The global artist has officially launched a Japan fan community called “TOPSX,” marking a major step toward his long-awaited solo comeback after more than a decade.

A comeback fans have waited 13 years for

T.O.P last released a solo track in 2013 with the iconic song DOOM DADA, which showcased his signature deep rap tone and experimental style. Since then, fans around the world have continued to wait for a full return to solo music.

Now, that silence is finally ending.

According to the announcement, T.O.P’s upcoming activities represent not just a comeback but the beginning of “Chapter Two” of his artistic career. The artist plans to launch this new phase with Japan as one of his key bases.

A teaser already sparked global excitement

Earlier this year, fans got a glimpse of what might be coming.

On February 12, a teaser video titled “완전미쳤어! (Studio54)” was released on YouTube, immediately drawing strong reactions online. The short clip featured cinematic visuals and a bold sound direction that hinted at a new artistic era.

Even though it was only a brief preview, the teaser quickly reignited excitement among longtime fans who have been waiting years for new music from T.O.P.

More than a musician

Beyond his music career, T.O.P has built a reputation as a multidisciplinary artist.

The former BIGBANG member is known not only for his distinctive rap voice but also for his work in film, contemporary art, and creative direction. Over the years he has gained attention as an international art collector and cultural tastemaker, further expanding his influence beyond the music industry.

“The king returns”

For many fans, the launch of TOPSX feels like the beginning of something much bigger.

After more than a decade since his last solo release, the artist’s next moves are now being watched closely. With a teaser already circulating and a new fan community in place, anticipation is building for what could be one of the most talked-about comebacks in K-pop’s recent history.

And if this announcement is any indication, T.O.P’s return may only be just getting started.
