Former BIGBANG rapper T.O.P is going viral after announcing his long-awaited return to music.

The 37-year-old artist confirmed he will drop his first full-length solo album in the fourth quarter of 2025. If it happens, this will mark his first release since the hip-hop track ‘Doom Dada’ in 2013.

T.O.P took the world by storm with his acting in Squid Game Season 2, his first role since the 2017 film ‘Out of Control’. 


He first rose to fame as a member of BIGBANG, one of South Korea’s most successful boy bands, which has sold over 140 million records worldwide since its 2006 debut.

In 2020, he announced his departure from the entertainment industry after facing a marijuana charge, and officially left BIGBANG in 2023.In the Netflix hit, the 37-year-old actor plays Thanos, a failed rapper who joins the deadly games after falling into debt from investing in a failed cryptocurrency called MG Coin.

Now, after years of reflection, T.O.P says he’s ready to face the world again, but on his own terms. 



“I made huge mistakes and collapsed mentally,” he admitted in a recent interview, “but I’ve never stopped creating music. I feel alive whenever I’m in the studio, and I believe the time has come to share it with the world.”

Industry insiders expect the album to drop sometime after October, signaling a new chapter in T.O.P’s career.

While no official details have been confirmed yet, one thing is certain, T.O.P is gearing up for a major comeback that fans have been waiting years to see.

Pop Mart, the Chinese toy maker behind the viral Labubu doll, now has bigger dreams, a Disney-style theme park.

The company revealed it is exploring everything from animation to potential theme parks, aiming to turn Labubu’s massive fan following into a lasting global franchise.

Pop Mart’s executive director Si De said the company takes inspiration from Disney’s success with Mickey Mouse.

“We have learned from Disney for a long time. In fact, Disney’s great value lies in its ability to operate intellectual property over the long term, even up to 100 years,” he said.

Designed in 2015 by Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung, the Labubu character accounts for nearly 35% of Pop Mart’s revenue in 2025.

Its viral appeal also triggered a nearly 200% jump in Pop Mart’s shares this year, briefly making the company more valuable than Hasbro, Mattel, and Sanrio combined.

Pop Mart also plans to expand Labubu through content collaborations and merchandise. The goal is to build original IP with the potential to last generations.

Overall, the company hopes to double down on Labubu, expanding its storylines, deepening collaborations, and elevating it into a cultural icon.
