Before joining YG Entertainment, Seung-Hyun was an underground rapper under the name "Tempo"; he is a childhood friend of Ji-Yong aka G-Dragon, being "neighborhood friends since middle school" and often dancing and rapping together. Although G-Dragon later grew apart and the two grew apart, they reconnected when Seung-Hyun was considered for a boy band under YG Entertainment. The two recorded several demos and sent them to Yang Hyun Suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, who later asked Seung-Hyun to audition.

Seung Hyun was initially rejected by the record label because they considered him too "chubby" to fit the "idealistic" version of an idol. Seung Hyun later stated that he went home and worked out really hard because he wanted to join YG Entertainment. Six months later, he returned for another audition and signed with the label.

Choi Seung-Hyun was given the stage name TOP (Korean: 탑) by fellow YG artist Se7en. He became one of the two rappers in the group Big Bang, alongside G-Dragon. The two were paired with three other members: Taeyang, Dae Sung, and Seungri.

After releasing several TOP singles and albums, he decided to pursue a solo career. In April 2007, he participated alongside his groupmates Taeyang and G-Dragon in singer Lexy's single "Super Fly." Later that summer, he appeared as an actor in Red Roc's music video for "Hello." He was the first member of his group to enter the drama world with "I'M SAM." In 2008, he collaborated with artist Gummy on her song "I'm Sorry," with artist Uhm Jung Hwa on her single "DISCO," and with ZiA on her single "I Only See You." That same year, he was admitted to Dankook University.

In 2009, after a year of promoting BIGBANG's material, he returned to acting with his character Víck, a mysterious assassin from the popular series IRIS.

In 2010, TOP starred in the war film 71: Into the Fire, which was well received by audiences, earning TOP several awards, including the Hallyu Popularity Award at the 47th Grand Bell Film Awards. The film received 1 million views in one week, becoming the first film of 2010 to do so in South Korea.[2] Simultaneously, TOP began preparing for his solo debut. During Big Bang's Big Show concert in January 2010, TOP released his new single "Turn It Up". He became the first Korean to have a song released worldwide through iTunes.

In November 2010, YG Entertainment announced that TOP and his bandmate G-Dragon would be releasing an album under the name "GD&T.OP". To promote their album, the duo released three singles: "High High," "Oh Yeah," and "Knock Out." The three singles preceded the album's release and achieved commercial success. The album was released on Christmas Eve, and debuted at number one with pre-orders of 200,000 copies.

During 2011, Big Bang went on hiatus following the release of their EP Tonight due to Daesung's car accident[7] and G-Dragon's marijuana scandal.[8] He attended the 2011 MTV EMAs with his group Big Bang, where they won Best Worldwide Act.[9]

In 2012, TOP starred in the film Commitment (also known as Alumni), in which he played the son of a North Korean spy who is wrongly accused.[10][11] For his role, he received the Rookie Award at the Asia Star Awards, held during the Busan International Film Festival, being the only Korean actor to win an award during the ceremony.

In November, he released the digital single "Doom Dada",[12] which he himself referred to as "strange" and "weird". The song was first performed at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong.[13] It was later featured on English recording artist Pixie Lott's Japanese album featuring G-Dragon on the song "Dancing on My Own".[14]

In 2013, TOP starred in the action film Commitment, and the following year he played the role of Ham Dae-Gil in the South Korean film Tazza 2: The Hidden Card.[15]

After debuting as a furniture designer in 2015 in collaboration with Vitra,[16] he was awarded the Visual Culture Award at the Prudential Eye Awards.[17]

In 2015, he starred alongside Japanese actress Juri Ueno in the CJ E&M web drama The Secret Message, playing the role of Woohyun. He then filmed the German-Chinese film Out of Control alongside actress Cecilia Cheung.

On February 9, 2017, he enlisted in the army for mandatory military service, serving as a conscripted police officer. In June of that year, he was sentenced to ten months of preventive service due to an accusation of illegal marijuana use. However, due to his cooperative attitude and pleading guilty, he was given a two-year suspension, was acquitted of prison time, and was granted probation during this time, in addition to a payment of 12,000 won.

He completed his military service as a public employee on July 6, 2019. TOP was scheduled to complete his service in early August, but a new military law implemented in 2018 shortened his service period, causing it to end in July.

On May 20, 2020, Chinese media outlet Sina reported that TOP was in a relationship with Kim Ga Bin, who appeared on Mnet's romance reality show "Love Catcher 2" last year. Sina's report shows a photo of TOP smiling with her arms around Kim Ga Bin's shoulders. The photo was uploaded to Kim Ga Bin's Instagram account and later deleted. The report also includes photos of Kim Ga Bin taken in an ocean-view room that she shared on her Instagram account, along with photos of a similar ocean view that TOP had uploaded on her own account. It was also noted that the two appear to be wearing matching pajamas.

On February 7, 2022, YG Entertainment officially announced that TOP's exclusive contract with the agency, after 16 years, has ended, and that he will now take on a wide variety of new challenges as an artist and entrepreneur. He also reached an agreement with the other members regarding this matter, and as long as conditions are right, he will participate in BIGBANG's activities whenever possible.

On May 29, 2023, TOP confirmed through his Instagram that he left BIGBANG.
