Big Bang member T.O.P will be releasing his first photo book since his debut 8 years ago.

His first solo photo book, '1st PICTORIAL RECORDS 'FROM TOP'', will be released in Korea, China and Japan on April 9.

This photo book was shot in New York last December with photographer Hong Jang Hyun.

This photo book contains images and styles that T.O.P has never shown on stage and is filled with 400 pages of photos.

There will also be a video to go along with this photo book to capture the scenes from the shoot.

T.O.P commented that he wanted to remember how he was when he was 27 years old and decided to create this photo book.

There will be 2 versions of this photo book sold as well.

The members of Big Bang also released a comic photo of themselves, as they took a photo copy of their faces on a copy machine. The photo even shows members closing the cover of the copy machine for each other.

YG Entertainment also revealed that Big Bang are preparing for a new album, planned to be due out this summer. G-Dragon of Big Bang also said through a Big Bang concert in January that they will be releasing a new studio album this summer. 

However, a person related to this news said that they are not set on the actual date for the album release, as the production period is hard to guess.

Big Bang released "Monster" in 2012. Since then, each of the members released solo albums on his own, but there was no album activity based on the whole group.
