BIGBANG may not enlist until 2018?
BIGBANG‘s newfound role as ‘Creative Icons’ for South Korea’s new slogan ‘Creative Nation’ may affect the group’s military enlistment plans.
As the nation’s ‘Creative Icons’, BIGBANG will be charged with representing Korea during the ‘PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics’. However, T.O.P, currently 28 years old in Korean age, must enlist before the age of 30 to abide by military regulations. G-Dragon and Taeyang will also need to enlist by the year 2018, for similar reasons. If these enlistment requirements hold, BIGBANG will not be able to promote during the ‘PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics’ as an entire group.
South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism addressed the issue by stating, “Even if some of the members will be absent carrying out their military service duties, we plan on continuing promotions centered around the remaining members.”
YG Entertainment likewise issued, “It is true BIGBANG’s enlistment is approaching. If they are unable to promote during that period, then they will most likely maintain their roles with photos, videos, and other media resources.”
The military has been known to make exemptions for special cases in which those already serving the nation in a different form may be allowed a delay of one year. However, this exemption has yet confirmed, and remains a speculation for BIGBANG.

Lee Jung Jae praises BIGBANG’s T.O.P, Kim Woo Bin, Lee Jong Suk, and Lee Min Ho
Lee Jung Jae was full of compliments for some of his hoobae actors.
During a recent interview, Lee Jung Jae said, “I watch dramas a bit nowadays. I watched ‘W’ because I heard it was really good, and I also watched ‘Uncontrollably Fond’ starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.”
He went on to praise, “They can act, they are charming, they have stardom, they are tall and handsome.. I’m envious. As a viewer watching Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Suk, I can’t help but go ‘Wow! they’re so handsome!’ But above them all, T.O.P is #1 to me, and actor Lee Min Ho has also caught my attention lately.”
Lee Jung Jae then explained his relationship with Lee Min Ho, saying, “I was close with the producer of the movie ‘Gangnam 1970’. Lee Min Ho knew so and asked me, ‘Sunbaenim! Please buy me a drink.’ Of course, I have to when a handsome and talented hoobae asks me to buy him a drink. We were busy so we couldn’t contact one another, but when I had a schedule in China at the beginning of the year, Lee Min Ho did too, so we rode on the plane together and had dinner.”
