In todayโs Melon interview, T.O.P said:
โI set one goal to build an album filled with timeless classical music, a complete work to the point that u canโt even tell what era it was made in. My dream is to create music that stays in peopleโs memories for a long timeโ
And honestly, that explains why T.O.P didnโt make his first album when he was under YG with BIGBANG, and why he didnโt do it even after the success of Thanos last year. A lot of people including me used to blame him, wondering why he didnโt take advantage of those huge moments of success. But maybe thatโs bc we see things from a commercial perspective we like to capitalize on trends.
Meanwhile, he disappeared for 10 years something idols usually donโt do, bc being absent like that feels like youโre killing ur own fame with ur own hands.
After listening to the album more than 10 times, I can say it was worth every year of waiting. Not just bc of the musical quality or production those are undeniable but bc of the story. A story that took T.O.P 10 years of strength and resilience to finally tell us.
everyone knows that even mentioning BIGBANG was like a taboo for him.Yet here he is.
addressing everything koreans hate to even mention the very things he was attacked for the most without caring about what the media will say. Including that โself-crucifixionโ moment, which he referenced from one of the most controversial livestreams that the press criticized him for weeks over.
his mental strength as choi seunghyun, the human being, is clear in every lyric of this album as much as it is T.O.P the idol.
Iโm happy youโre back. thank u for creating real art ,something that will live on for generations and inspire every artist who comes after u.
Welcome back, T.O.P
โYour life? Still life ,Itโs so nice,Youโre welcome back home, wherever you are.โ

Itโs not just a comeback; itโs an example of resilience. Itโs a second chance at life. You're the ultimate proof that life always gives you two chances, and that you will always be loved for your authenticity and your huge heart.

iโm ugly crying right now because BIGBANG OT4 was never about the songs together or the group, it was always about wanting the boys to be in contact again because they never stopped loving each other. theyโre on different paths but will FOREVER be brothers.
this is just a story for some people but this means the WORLD to us vips and iโm sure seunghyun is emotional as well, iโm genuinely sobbing
the 10th song of TOPโs new album is called โSTENDHAL SYNDROMEโ
Stendhal syndrome is a psychosomatic condition that involves rapid heartbeat, confusion, hallucinations that occurs when someone becomes exposed to artworks of great beauty
We know how passionate he is about art, Iโm so not surprised this is a songโs title AAAA
