One part of the interview that stood out was T.O.P. ‘s comments about his future as a musician and releasing music, something he hasn’t done for a very long time. At the start of the article, he revealed that he was going to be sharing music for the first time in a decade.
What I am currently hoping to do is share with the world T.O.P – me as a musician – because I will be sharing my music [for the first time] in almost a decade. The musician T.O.P would be the character that I want to play [now].

He then added about his regrets and self-reflection over the years, adding that it allowed for his “musical universe” to change and impacted the music that fans might hear soon.
Over the years, I spent a lot of time really thinking about and regretting what I have done, and I spent a lot of time on self-reflection as well. I think those years have allowed for my musical universe to change greatly. I feel that my music has become richer and expanded in size as well, so I’m quite confident that my fans will feel that I have matured musically.

When the article was posted, netizens unsurprisingly couldn’t stop sharing their excitement at the possibility of new music from T.O.P after so long.
