K-pop star ‘G-Dragon’ returns to his pop group ‘BigBang’ after military service

[@sakitrain7766]

He looks like he's holding back some tears and screams.

[@scriptxkid9563]

military not for childish, is a duty..always full of tired and spirit

[@SwitchTF2]

It’s the problem with conscription. You can fill the ranks, but some soldiers will not want to be there or just be complete cowards. I would think that the NCOs in his company made an example of him often, because of his fame.

[@jordanlevitt1638]

He probs wanted a break when he got back, but he got thrown right back into the limelight. Probs just anxiety coming in from having to deal with crowds again.

​@@eugenepark7579 This is why you take orders and why others lead, you are someone who has to hear an opinion by someone else before you create your own, and you tend to agree instead of formulating your own opinion. That is exactly why you felt the need to ask if he was a psychologist, because otherwise that information is useless to you because you can't discern the truth unless it is cited, sad reality to live in.

Don't just die and he should have known some of his fellow soldiers in his depiction would have known him because on January 8th 2016 they end up playing bang bang his 2015 song in protest of Kim jong-un's nuclear test during his birthday.

Well he Is naturally very shy. And after almost away from cameras and media's he got nervous. It's natural since most of K-pop idols or kartist commented they get nervous and feels like facing the camera for the first time. And plus he didn't expected the fans will come in such a large quantity.

Hi! I know its late to make a comment but its right! I really hate that they even made a law out of it to delay the enlistment! I think its so unfair to all the idols who have to go through it! Taemin is now enlisted and even half of EXO are now serving but the fandom just accept it from what i gathered EXO will wait till 2025 to be completed again since the 2 maknaes are going on enlistment within that period! Im a VIP and i know how it felt for all the fandoms and Idols that have to go through the enlistment. I just hope that they can be fair to everyone.

Regardless i wish him nothing but a happy and healthy life. I truly enjoy his music.

[@iidkok]

The media attacked him several times while he was serving, making baseless accusations about special treatment that the ministry of defence had to refute multiple times, and the media have attacked almost all of his bandmates over the past 12 months as well. Hounding them mercilessly, trying to destroy their careers. His frustration in front of the media probably has something to do with that. And it was well founded. Literally hours after he got out, there were dozens of articles criticizing his salute and comparing it to the salute of other celebrities. Whatever he does, the media attack him.

For people who asking who's HE and why is he here. People, he's extremely popuar in China. His own fan base in China is bigger than a one group fan base. Recently, his chinese fans paid thousand dollars to put his faces on Shanghai Skyscrapers just to celebrate his arrival and many chinese sites made an article about him. His group, BIGBANG is one of the top 3 most popular group in China, that's why he's kinda relevant in China.
