On the morning of February 9, 2026, the Korean entertainment industry was shocked by exclusive information from MyDaily about the reappearance of T.O.P – BIGBANG. The male rapper's long-awaited solo project of more than a decade attracted attention by the appearance of the cult "goddess" Nana.
An unexpected combination of two Gen 2 icons
According to internal sources, Nana will take on the role of the female lead in T.O.P.'s upcoming music video. Notably, the actual recording process was completed last year and has been kept absolutely secret until now.
For Nana, this is the first time she has returned to acting in the MV since the "ballad queen" Baek Ji Young's That's Right project in 2024. With top-notch beauty and acting ability that has been affirmed through many film works, Nana's presence is expected to create an explosion in terms of image for T.O.P's re-emerged product.
"Another Dimension" – The answer to 13 years of musical thirst
Previously, on New Year's Eve on December 31, 2025, T.O.P officially broke the silence with a brief but weighty status line on social networks: "A new album is coming out". Accompanying that is the keyword "Another Dimension", which is said to be the name of his first solo mini album.
If this information is officially confirmed, this will be a historic milestone in the male artist's career: 13 years: The break since the last solo single DOOM DADA (2013). 3 years: From the time he officially announced his departure from BIGBANG in 2023 to focus on his own path.
Despite leaving the group and affirming that there are no plans to reunite, T.O.P has repeatedly expressed that his passion for music has never been extinguished. The male rapper once shared that he only really felt "alive" when he was in the studio and was holding a treasure trove of self-written songs that had never been published.
The focus of conflicting debates
Although the return of a unique musical personality like T.O.P is to be expected, this information has also encountered many mixed reactions from the public.
Skepticism from the past: A part of the audience still maintains a reserved attitude, even criticism due to the male artist's scandals of using banned substances in 2017. The fact that he once announced his retirement and then reappeared made the trust of a group of the public shaken.
Nana's choice: Many fans were surprised that Nana – an artist with a clean image and a burgeoning acting career – decided to participate in the music project of a controversial figure like T.O.P.
A stepping stone from Squid Game 2
In fact, signs of T.O.P's return have begun to appear from the end of 2024 when he appeared in Netflix's blockbuster Squid Game 2. This appearance is considered a strategic step to measure the public's reaction before officially returning to the music track.
Currently, all eyes are on T.O.P and Nana. Is the artistic power of "Another Dimension" big enough to fill up the noise of the past and help T.O.P regain its position in the hearts of fans? The answer will be next month when the MV is officially released.
