Back on T.O.P: Choi Seunghyun Commands WWD Korea's May Cover

Twenty years in, and the aura has only sharpened.

There are artists who age into their craft, and then there is T.O.P. Choi Seunghyun — rapper, collector, provocateur — has always moved at his own velocity. So when WWD Korea tapped him for their May 2026 cover, the only real question was: what version of him would we get?

The answer: a sharper one. The shoot arrives under the concept BACK ON T.O.P — a title that functions less as a comeback slogan and more as a statement of fact. On set, T.O.P reportedly moved through each frame with an intensity that stilled the room. Restrained charisma is the phrase WWD Korea reached for. It fits.

An artist whose very name defines a genre, gracing a cover at the peak of his 20th debut anniversary.

The pictorial runs alongside an exclusive interview — one of the most substantive he has given in years. T.O.P reflects on two decades of artistry, the creative weight behind Another Dimension (his first solo studio album in 13 years, released April 2026), and where he intends to take things next. WWD Korea framed it as a document of his present moment. That feels right. This is not a retrospective. This is a man accounting for himself.

The May issue is out in two versions: Type A and Type B. Both are available at SOOJIB — along with a Random option for those who like a little fate in their collection.
