This Is BigBang’s T.O.P Going Off To The Army
And it was anything but low-key.
“Oppa, saranghaeyeo!” “Oppa, fighting!” were the fervent, heartbroken cries of fangirls who were there to send BigBang’s T.O.P off as he enlisted into the army yesterday (Feb 9).
On the day itself, T.O.P posted on his Instagram: “I really want to go quietly today. Please understand even if I don’t say goodbye. I’m sorry.” But, his army enlistment was anything but “quiet”. As the 29-year-old rapper made his way to the barracks, surrounded by his entourage, hordes of media and fans came in droves to send him off. Some fans even prepared massive banners to show support for their idol. The whole shebang begged us to wonder: Is this a military enlistment or a pop concert?
In these snaps which surfaced on social media, T.O.P can be seen all bundled up like a ninja warrior (or, um, South Park's Kenny) in a duvet jacket with only a small portion of his face revealed. We don’t think it was ’cos he was feeling very cold.
