SEOUL — T.O.P and Nana were spotted together at a fan-prepared birthday café in Seoul ahead of the singer's November 4 birthday, marking their first public appearance since confirming their romantic relationship one month prior.
On November 2, 2026, the couple visited a café in Seoul's Gangnam District that had been decorated by fans in honor of T.O.P's upcoming birthday. The outing came one month after T.O.P and Nana publicly acknowledged their relationship on October 2, 2026.
According to reports, the two first met in January 2026 while filming the music video for T.O.P's solo track 'I'm Completely Crazy!' and developed into a romantic relationship around June of this year. Nana confirmed the relationship to fans, saying she was 'a little embarrassed' and that they would have 'a beautiful and healthy relationship.'
In videos posted by the café operator, T.O.P was seen wearing a black jumper and white mask, smiling as he looked around the fan-decorated space. Nana, wearing a gray jacket, hat and mask, was captured filming T.O.P with her mobile phone. The café owner tagged both individuals' social media accounts to announce their visit.
The outing occurred shortly after T.O.P issued a personal apology on November 1 to fans regarding the closure of his fan site CHOISEUNGHYUN.COM, expressing gratitude for their support during difficult periods in his career. T.O.P, who was indicted in 2016 on marijuana possession charges and sentenced to 10 months in prison with a two-year suspended sentence, returned to the entertainment industry in 2024 with Netflix's Squid Game Season 2 and resumed musical activities in April 2026. Nana, a former After School member, has been active as an actress, most recently appearing in Netflix's 'Scandal.'
Reactions from the public were mixed, with some expressing disappointment at the couple's outing given T.O.P's recent apology to fans, while others welcomed the pair's visible relationship. The café operator's video quickly spread on social media, drawing attention to the pair's affectionate moments as they openly dated in a space prepared by their supporters.
