BIGBANG is one of the most legendary K-pop groups in history under YG Entertainment. On April 4, BIGBANG released the digital single track “Still Life” along with its music video, making their long-awaited comeback to the music industry after four years of hiatus. This was one of the most anticipated comebacks in K-pop. This year, all three members of BIGBANG’s “Hyung line” made individual cover appearances for various magazines in addition to their comebacks.

Choi Seung-Hyun (T.O.P)

Choi Seung-Hyun, better known by his stage name, T.O.P., is the oldest member and a rapper of BIGBANG. He appeared on a magazine’s cover for the first time after a long time. The March issue of PRESTIGE Hong Kong features a cover featuring T.O.P., who has been out of the public eye for five years. In his interview with PRESTIGE Hong Kong, he discussed the arts and how he gets inspired by them, his life in the past five years, and how music helped him get through difficult times.

In the interview, he discussed his life as well as his thoughts on art and beauty. Additionally, he also spoke in the interview about his wife and child.
