Description

Even though BIG BANG is listed as his debut, TOP has been rapping since middle school under the name Tempo. He started doing gigs in underground clubs, sometimes with an older friend of his, NBK Gray, and even won KBS Radio's "Rap Battle" in 2003. They never sign a label or released an album. “Buckwild”, one of their songs was storming the internet in mp3 format. Unlike the rest of Big Bang, TOP hasn’t trained to be a singer. His only singing part so far is at the beginning of She Can’t Get Enough. He often gets sent on TV shows alone, either as a guest or MC. In August 2007, he was also featured as an actor in Red Roc’s Hello MV. T.O.P is considered the "big brother" of the band. YG staff members call him Keun Seunghyun, meaning Big Seunghyun, to distinguish between the fellow Big Bang member also named Seunghyun. Tempo is one of the two rappers in the Big Bang and is also very talented in beat-boxing.At the end of 2007, Big Bang was invited to KBS music award festival and performed Hot Issue songs. T.O.P, however, could not come because he collapsed.
