Big Bang member T.O.P will hold an exhibition next month to celebrate the release of his first photography collection.

The “From TOP Exhibition,” will display photos from the collection “1st Pictorial Records From TOP” released Wednesday and unpublished photos personally picked by the K-pop star.

The photography collection is a result of a collaboration between T.O.P, also known as Choi Seung-hyun, and photographer Hong Jang-hyun. The two visited New York in December 2013 to capture moments from the star’s life as a 27-year-old, as T.O.P intended, said his agency YG Entertainment. The collection consists of a photo book with 400 pictorial pages and a short video that details the process behind the collection.

“Although T.O.P has been extremely busy shooting for movies and preparing for concerts, he has been working very hard to prepare the upcoming exhibition,” said the agency.

Admission to the exhibition is free to anyone who has purchased the photography collection. For others, tickets will be available for purchase at the door or through Gmarket starting at 10 a.m. on April 11.

The exhibition will be held May 1-4 at the Horim Art Center’s JnB Gallery in Gangnam, Seoul.
