The photos seem to have been taken on their way to the 3rd Infantry Division recruit training center located in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province, where G-Dragon will be undergoing five weeks of basic training before receiving his military assignment.

G-Dragon can be seen with his military buzz cut as he poses with T.O.P in the backseat of a car.

The next two photos show G-Dragon and T.O.P sharing a warm hug.

Phillip Chun also shared photos of the entrance gate to the “White Skull” training center and the bottle of wine that T.O.P, whose real name is Seung Hyun, gave to G-Dragon as a gift. The message on the wine bottle reads, “To my beloved Ji Yong [G-Dragon’s real name], take care and come back safely. I love you so much. From Seung Hyun.”

G-Dragon enlisted in the military on February 27 and is scheduled to be discharged on November 26, 2019.

Goo Hara commented, “It was really fun, and people didn’t recognize us. That kind of atmosphere was very enjoyable.”

She also talked about how the four of them went to a theme park in Paris while wearing masks. They wore them in order to go unnoticed, but she admitted, “The masks were so showy that we just stood out more. So we just went to drink again.”
