According to Korean media, T.O.P will hold a free fan meeting at 6 PM on July 9 at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, Japan. The event is expected to invite around 10,000 members of the artist’s official Japanese fan community.
His agency explained that the fan meeting was prepared by T.O.P as a gift for fans who have continued to support him over the years. Ticket reservations will open first for Japanese fan club members starting June 5. The event will be hosted by Masayuki Furuya, a well-known Hallyu MC in Japan. T.O.P is expected to prepare talk segments and special programs specifically for local fans.
For many supporters, the event is meaningful because it marks another major step in T.O.P’s return to active promotions. The Japan fan meeting comes after T.O.P returned to music with his first solo studio album, “Another Dimension,” released on April 3. The album contains 11 tracks, including the 2 title songs “Studio54” and “Desperado.”
According to StarNews, “Another Dimension” topped the iTunes chart in 15 countries and recorded about 1.47 million Spotify streams on its first day. T.O.P originally debuted with BIGBANG in 2006 and left the group in 2023. Since then, he has continued activities in both music and acting. He also drew major attention for playing Thanos in Netflix’s “Squid Game.”
Despite his departure from BIGBANG, many fans still hope for a reunion between T.O.P and the remaining 3 members. Their hopes have continued because the artists are still seen supporting each other’s work on social media.
