T.O.P from the iconic K-pop group BIGBANG has left fans excited with the announcement of a new album in the works.

On May 29th, T.O.P took to his personal social media account and shared a video that immediately sparked curiosity among his followers.

Interestingly, the video contained no captions or comments, leaving fans to speculate about the nature of the post.

In the released video, viewers were given a glimpse of T.O.P's creative process as he worked on crafting beats.

The focus was on T.O.P's back view, where he could be seen adjusting the hat on his hoodie, fully engrossed in his work.

The sheer power and intensity of the beats he produced with his fingertips captured the attention of everyone who watched.

To add to the excitement, T.O.P accompanied the video with a caption that read "STILL MAKING MY ALBUMS."

This revelation further fueled anticipation among fans, as T.O.P has not released a solo track since the iconic "DOOM DADA" back in November 2013.

It is worth noting that T.O.P made headlines last year when he departed from his agency, YG Entertainment, to embark on a solo career.

Since then, fans have eagerly awaited news about his musical endeavors, and the recent video has reignited their enthusiasm.

Beyond his music, T.O.P has also attracted attention for his involvement in the groundbreaking "Dear Moon" project.

This innovative initiative aims to send a group of civilians on a lunar flight, and T.O.P's participation has only added to his already remarkable profile.

As fans eagerly await more updates on T.O.P's upcoming album, his recent video serves as a promising sign of what's to come.

With his talent, artistic vision, and dedicated fanbase, T.O.P's solo venture is poised to make a significant impact on the music industry once again.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
