T.O.P brings first solo Asia tour to Kuala Lumpur

SHAH ALAM - K-pop icon T.O.P will bring his first-ever solo Asia fan meeting tour to Kuala Lumpur this September.

The star, whose real name is Choi Seung Hyun, will take the stage at the Unifi Arena on September 27. Dubbed "PRE-STUDIO 2026", the tour marks a monumental return for the artist, serving as his first solo circuit across Asia since entering the industry 20 years ago.

The announcement follows the massive success of his first full-length solo album, Another Dimension, which achieved the number one spot on iTunes charts across 15 countries and secured a position on the Billboard World Albums Chart. The upcoming show format reportedly introduces an innovative, interactive concert experience designed to involve fans directly in his creative process.

The multi-city tour begins with a free event for 10,000 fan club members in Yokohama, Japan, on July 9, followed by official stops in Hong Kong on August 15, Taipei on August 22, and Jakarta on September 19, before landing in Malaysia on September 27.

T.O.P originally debuted as one of the lead rappers for the legendary group BIGBANG in 2006. The group became foundational pillars of the global Hallyu wave, dominating charts with historic records like Fantastic Baby, Bang Bang Bang, Haru Haru, and Lies.

The performer has concurrently built an acclaimed acting profile, securing leading roles in blockbuster cinematic releases such as 71: Into the Fire, Commitment, and Tazza: The Hidden Card. He recently expanded his international viewership by appearing as Thanos in the second season of Netflix's hit series Squid Game.

His management agency, TOPSPOT PICTURES, indicated that further regional dates and cities will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Official ticket pricing and tiers for the Kuala Lumpur date are yet to be disclosed
