On July 6, T.O.P began his last day of service as a public service worker, greeted by fans as he arrived at the The Yongsan Crafts Museum in the morning. He is set to be discharged when his work ends for the day at 7 p.m. KST.
A source from his agency YG Entertainment stated, “T.O.P himself has stated that he hopes to have a quiet discharge as he does not wish to cause discomfort to the visitors of the museum.” They added that to respect his wishes, T.O.P will head home after being discharged without any separate events or greetings.
T.O.P initially enlisted as a conscripted policeman in February 2017 as the first member of BIGBANG to go to the army. He served until June of that year, when he was dismissed from duty due to marijuana use. In January 2018, he then resumed his mandatory service as a public service worker.
He was initially scheduled to complete his service in early August, but new military laws implemented in 2018 shortened service periods for soldiers, and his new discharge date was pulled from July 8 to July 6 as his workplace does not open on Mondays.
T.O.P is the first member of BIGBANG to be discharged from the military. G-Dragon enlisted in February 2018, and Taeyang and Daesung enlisted in March 2018. All three are expected to be discharged by the end of the year.

Now seeing him, I realized how much i miss him and miss Big Bang way back in time...before this mess.
sonagi
?The perfect time to play this
I'm really glad to see him back, but YG and BB are in a rather worrying situation now. And it's not helping that some of my friends kept saying that they'll have their last album soon

I really hope he's doing well mentally with all this shit going on...
I hope he leaves YG after all the shit that happened. If he still remains loyal...idk what to think...
