Veteran idol Se7en is showing support for his former YG labelmate T.O.P on social media.

On June 7, the singer took to his personal Instagram account to share a photo of a heart-shaped sculpture in what appears to be an art gallery. The image is paired with a caption simply boasting a matching red heart emoticon and the hashtag “#staystrongtop.”

The hashtag has been trending on social media following the news of the BIGBANG rapper’s hospitalization. On June 7, it was Twitter’s second highest trending hashtag worldwide.

Meanwhile, T.O.P is currently being treated at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital for an apparent overdose on prescription tranquilizers. On June 8, the hospital released an official statement regarding the rapper’s status, explaining that while there is no immediate threat to his life, their medical team is continuing to monitor his recovery.

T.O.P will be dismissed from his duty as a conscripted policeman today or tomorrow.

A source from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated that a notice of prosecution for illegal marijuana use has been sent to T.O.P today and will most likely arrive tomorrow. As soon as he receives the notice, he will be removed from his position and sent home. The time he spent as a conscripted policeman until now will still count toward his mandatory service, but the time he spends at home on standby will not.

Whether or not T.O.P will have to reenlist will depend on the length of his sentence. If it exceeds 18 months, he will be forcibly discharged from the army and required to reenlist. A sentence shorter than 18 months means that he will continue the remainder of his mandatory service after serving his sentence. His first trial will take place on June 29 at 11:30 a.m. KST.

Earlier today, T.O.P’s mother and his platoon leader revealed that T.O.P’s condition has gotten better.

At approximately 1 p.m. KST, T.O.P’s mother visited her son in his hospital room. Forty-five minutes later, she left the room and was met by reporters asking about T.O.P’s condition. She replied, “He has gotten better.” In response to another question asking if he made eye contact with her and recognized her, she gave the brief answer, “Yes.”

T.O.P’s platoon leader, who had also visited the rapper, stated, “He seems to be able to communicate, and he also recognized me as his platoon leader.”

T.O.P is currently being treated at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital after losing consciousness due to an overdose of prescribed tranquilizers. Today at 9 a.m. KST, the hospital had stated that he was still in a state of lethargy, but he seems to be recovering, according to his mother’s and platoon leader’s more recent statements.
