SEOUL, June 02 (AJP) - K-pop boy band BIGBANG's former member T.O.P will hold a free solo fan meeting for 10,000 attendees in Yokohama, Japan, next month, the rapper's agency said Tuesday. The event accelerates the 38-year-old's independent activities following the release of his first solo studio album earlier this year.
Topspott Pictures announced that the event will take place on July 9 at the Pia Arena MM. The agency stated that the large-scale gathering will be offered completely free of charge, but attendance is exclusively restricted to official paid membership holders in Japan.
The management company noted that the artist is planning a diverse range of activities to reconnect directly with his international supporters. "T.O.P is preparing various programs for local fans who have waited a long time to communicate," Topspott Pictures said in a statement.
The upcoming Japanese showcase follows the April release of his first full-length studio album, Another Dimension. The album and the arena fan meeting mark a significant public return for the artist, who spent a long period with limited public communication before establishing his standalone footprint.
Choi Seung-hyun debuted in 2006 as the lead rapper of BigBang, a highly successful South Korean group formed by YG Entertainment, one of South Korea's entertainment powerhouses. He officially announced his departure from the group to focus on his solo career in May 2023.
