TOP (Choi Seung Hyun) - Musician
dearmoon.earth/share_crew/top...
TOP (Choi Seung Hyun) was born in South Korea in 1987.
TOP is a South Korean rapper, multi-hyphenate musician, award-winning film actor, and avid art collector.
He made his debut in 2007 as the lead rapper of the legendary K-pop group BIGBANG. As an accomplished solo artist, TOP has demonstrated his unique artistic capabilities with numerous groundbreaking music videos including 'DOOM DADA' and 'Turn It Up'. After BIGBANG’s new single 'Still Life' in 2022, TOP is currently preparing his first ever full solo album.
As an actor, TOP has starred in successful films including ‘Into the Fire’ and ‘Tazza: The Hidden Card’, as well as K-dramas including ‘I Am Sam’ and ‘Iris’, in which he played leading roles and won various accolades domestically and internationally. TOP has devoted his life to collecting art since the age of 19. In 2016, he became the first artist ever to curate an art auction in Hong Kong when he collaborated with world-renowned art auction house Sotheby’s, and was selected as one of the ‘top 50 collectors to watch’ by ARTnews.
Most recently, TOP has expanded his entrepreneurial ventures with the launch of his wine brand named T’SPOT.

[@iagreewithyou3478]

This guy went from being mocked, suffering from depression, and almost losing his life... to going to the frickin MOON. The first Korean civilian to ever do so. If this does not send you a positive message, then I don't know what will. I am his fan from the start of his career, and even I didn't believe he could ever recover from all the bad things that happened to him. I always thought he's just gonna continue to be private, be with his art and wine, shying away from the judgemental society and industry he grew up in, licking his wounds. But then here he is, proving me wrong. I'm so proud of you T.O.P. You made me realize that when you're so down you could taste the dirt, there's nowhere to go but up. Have a safe flight! And come back to earth 🌍. We'll be waiting for you.

[@williamssister8804]

I've been his fan for ten years. Like most drawn to his good looks. I learned that he is so much more a deep soul, who was put into the entertainment box of dancing, singing, and look good. I'm happy he didn't lose his life like so many others. I hope he is on the road to happiness, fulfillment, and peace within his soul.

[@susieangelo6410]

Truly happy beyond words for TOP, by bias of Big Bang. His words are inspirational, humble, genuine from his heart to ours ears. I'm proud of him to have overcome what happened in his past to strive for the future, his dream, the moon. Fighting! 💜

I love how Tabi just really sets his mind on things and makes it happen. He wanted to be a rapper, so he worked his butt off to become one of the greatest rappers in one of the most legendary groups to exist in KPop. He wanted to act and so he became an award winning actor. He wanted to raise awareness about art and up and coming artists - & so he did & got acknowledged for his influence on the young generation, esp Asia, on art. He wanted to start a company making quality wine but at affordable prices - and so he did. He’s always wanted to go to space so he applied and got picked. I’m so incredibly happy for this man. Also, to see how beautiful and sincere smile just makes this all that much more precious
