Former BIGBANG member T.O.P has attracted attention after reportedly visiting a fan-organized birthday cafe with his girlfriend Nana, just one day after publicly apologizing to longtime supporters over a recent fan community dispute.

On November 2, T.O.P shared photos from his visit to a birthday cafe prepared by fans to celebrate his birthday.

During the visit, the singer and actor signed autographs, received gifts, and interacted with fans who had gathered for the occasion.

Videos shared on online communities also showed Nana accompanying T.O.P at the event. She was reportedly seen taking photos and recording him as he enjoyed the birthday celebration.

The appearance drew attention because it came shortly after T.O.P addressed the closure of his longtime fan community, CHOIDOT, which had supported him for approximately 20 years.

On November 1, T.O.P posted a lengthy apology directed at the fan site's operators and supporters.

*"I want to sincerely express my feelings to the operators of Choi Seung Hyun Dotcom, who have been with me for the past 20 years,"* he began.

He thanked fans for supporting him during difficult periods, particularly when he struggled to believe in himself.

*"Even during moments when I found it difficult to believe in myself, you continued to believe in me and gave me the strength to make music again,"* he shared.

T.O.P explained that he had taken time to speak publicly because he wanted to be careful with his words.

He also expressed regret over the misunderstandings and hurt surrounding the situation.

*"I sincerely apologize to the operators and fans who experienced misunderstandings and were hurt because of me. I truly hope my feelings reach you,"* he wrote.

The apology followed CHOIDOT's announcement on October 9 that it would close after operating since 2006.

At the time, the fan site's operators criticized what they described as a lack of communication and responsibility from T.O.P and his agency, TOPSPOT PICTURES.

They claimed that fans had taken on responsibilities related to album promotions and fan events because official communication channels were insufficient.

The operators also rejected suggestions that their decision was simply connected to T.O.P's relationship with Nana.

According to their statement, they had already known about the relationship before the couple's YouTube-related activities became public and had chosen not to discuss it out of respect for the artist's private life.

They emphasized that their concerns centered on fan communication and the treatment of longtime supporters rather than his dating life.

Meanwhile, T.O.P and Nana confirmed their relationship last month.

A representative for T.O.P previously told Star News that the two first met while working on a music video in January and later developed a romantic relationship around June.

With T.O.P now appearing alongside Nana at a fan-organized birthday celebration shortly after his apology, the timing of the visit has drawn renewed attention to his relationship with fans.

However, neither T.O.P nor Nana has publicly indicated that their appearance at the birthday cafe was intended as a response to the fan community dispute.

The visit marked a public interaction with supporters as T.O.P continues his entertainment activities following his return to acting and music.
