Big Bang’s T.O.P. Quietly Leaves For The Military With New Haircut

Big Bang's T.O.P. got what he wanted when he left Thursday for his military enlistment without any fanfare.

Fans have long been eager to find out if they can greet farewell to the 29-year-old rapper-actor but T.O.P. expressly shared his desire to take off without any fuss or media attention.

"I really want to leave quietly today," all K-pop quoted T.O.P. as saying to a post with an accompanying screenshot of his enlistment report that was later removed from his account.

"Please understand even if I leave without any greetings. I'm sorry," he added.

The oldest Big Bang member and consequently the first in the group to take on his mandatory military duty also didn't want to see even his four bandmates.

"I miss my dongsengs, I'm not going to see them before enlisting because I'll miss them too much :P" wrote T.O.P. on Tuesday.

G-Dragon and Taeyang responded to the post and even wrote in the comment section as they begged to see him one last time.

G-Dragon eventually caught T.O.P. just in time before the latter took off and even captured their final moments together in a photo.

T.O.P. updated fans with his last night before enlistment. His Instagram photos captured him having a splendid time by having dinner with his mom and enjoying a good bottle of wine and fine dining.

"Good bye Seoul," he captioned two-series photos of him smoking.

T.O.P. sported his new military cut and called it "Spock" which could be a reference to the fictional Star Trek character Spock the First Officer of the Starship Enterprise spacecraft.

Big Bang's main rapper will be away from the limelight for at least 21 months so his latest posts emphasized just how much time can make someone forget or remember.

His fans promised to wait for his comeback.
