BIGBANG's G-Dragon ends his five-week basic training in a military camp in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province in South Korea. The singer was reportedly chosen to serve as an army instructor assistant because of his exemplary performance during training. However, his fans are still concerned about his health after photos of an injured G-Dragon surfaced online.

Reports indicate that G-Dragon finished his training with impressive rankings. He also demonstrated remarkable physical and mental skills during this time. As a result, he has been named instructor's assistant for the 3rd Infantry Division, also known as the White Skull division.

G-Dragon attended his graduation ceremony on Thursday along with his fellow trainees. He began his mandatory military service on February 27. He will be discharged on November 26, 2019.

G-Dragon Fans On His Graduation Day

As G-Dragon successfully hurdled Korea's strict military training, his fans also took time to get a glimpse of the singer on his graduation. Some fans managed to snap some photos of the singer on his graduation day at South Korea's military camp in Gangwon Province.

In some photos shared by fans, G-Dragon can be seen sporting a military uniform and a green beret. The 29-year-old singer was photographed smiling while heading to the graduation ceremony.

It is not surprising that many of his fans would flock outside the camp to witness one of the most important days of their idol's life. So far, there has been no reported untoward incidents involving G-Dragon's fans. When he got enlisted in February, some of his followers also gathered outside the camp just to get a glimpse of the singer.

G-Dragon Fans Expressed Concern Of His Health

Last month, fans of G-Dragon expressed their concern about the singer's status in the camp after a series of photos of the injured rapper made rounds online. Some of the snaps showed G-Dragon with an ankle protector, while another image displayed him with an arm sling. Many fans expressed their concern for G-Dragon while others asked the singer to take care of his health.

G-Dragon's fans earlier caused a problem at the training camp after fan mail overwhelmed the camp. The massive volume of emails received each day even shut down the division's computer server.

This prompted the singer's agency, YG Entertainment, to appeal to G-Dragon's fans to refrain from sending letters to the singer. According to YG, every email sent to the military division has to be printed out and handed over to each soldier. However, the amount of letters sent to G-Dragon is draining the supply of ink and paper in the division. The agency noted that G-Dragon feels sorry that other soldiers are getting "hurt" in the process as they are not able to receive their letters.
