Former Big Bang member and "Squid Game" (2021-25) actor T.O.P will release his first-ever solo album on April 3.

T.O.P's first full-length solo album, titled "Another Dimension," has been produced and directed by T.O.P himself, according to his agency Topspot Pictures.


"He spent a long time perfecting the album, so listeners will be able to see his deeper thoughts on music," the agency said.

T.O.P debuted as a member of the boy band Big Bang in 2006, flaunting his talents as a rapper with a unique and deep voice.

He quit Big Bang in 2023, apparently out of his guilt that he was harming the other Big Bang members because of his past drug use.

T.O.P was found guilty of smoking marijuana multiple times in 2016 and subsequently received a 10-month jail term suspended for two years.

After years of lying low, he made a comeback as an actor on the second and third seasons of Netflix's megahit original series "Squid Game" as Thanos.
