T.O.P for WWD KOREA MAGAZINE 2026 —
K-POP talk and not following trends 🔥
Q5. You made all the songs yourself. In an era dominated by 1–2 minute short-form music, you chose long narratives over 3 minutes. Do you have uncompromising standards?
TOP: Trends are always changing, and public demand inevitably shifts. I don’t want to make music that is quickly consumed and forgotten. I want to create music that does not evaporate even as time passes.
In this album, I drew inspiration from the “golden age” structure of 1960s–70s rock, while also deconstructing the emotions of 1990s pop—the era that truly shaped K-pop’s meaning. Creating something that cannot be placed in a specific era, something never heard before anywhere, was the most interesting task for me. Honestly, once I start talking about music, my thoughts never end (laughs).

nana asked t.o.p why she was casted for his mv: he said when he first made the song he imagined a mysterious woman, an alluring timeless beauty u can’t tell whether she came from space or the past & like the song title he wanted someone crazy like that so he thought of nana
T.O.P met this fan after 12 years and immediately recognised her, told her it was amazing and left her a cute note 🥺
“Thank you as always. I promise to become a better person, to the very end.”
