BIGBANG’s T.O.P To Be Discharged From Mandatory Service In Summer

BIGBANG’s T.O.P is wrapping up his military service!
On May 21, Yongsan District Office revealed, “Choi Seung Hyun’s [T.O.P’s given name] discharge date is July 8. Due to the reduction regulation that was applied to public service agents starting from last year, his service period has been shortened by about 27 days.”
Originally, T.O.P’s discharge date was set to the beginning of August, but due to the new reduction regulations implemented in 2018, his service period has been shortened.
On July 27, 2018, the government revealed Defense Reform 2.0, which shortens the military service period. In the case for public service agents, the reform has been applied gradually in steps starting with those who started their service on October 3, 2016.
Although T.O.P began his service in February of 2017 as a conscripted policeman, he lost his position due to his marijuana case. On January 26, 2018, T.O.P was transferred to the Yongsan District Office to resume his duties as a public service worker.
Although reports surfaced suspecting that T.O.P had been receiving special treatment while serving his mandatory military duties, the Yongsan District Office fully denied the reports with a thorough explanation, confirming that T.O.P submitted all the required documents needed to prove the validity of his reasons for taking sick leave.

When T.O.P returned as Social Service Worker in January 2018, this service time was lengthened and his discharge ceremony scheduled for August 2019. Social Service used to be 24 months service time vs 21 months service time for active duty. However with the change of military law where the over Military Service time was reduced, T.O.P's specific service time was shortened by 27 days which means his now official discharge day is July 8th 2019.
As the Museum T.O.P is currently doing his service at is closed on the Monday and he is usually not working on Sundays, his last working day at the museum will be Saturday 6th July 2019.

Channel A Reports That Seungri Admitted To Soliciting Prostitution During Pretrial Detention Warrant Questioning

Channel A Reports That Seungri Admitted To Soliciting Prostitution During Pretrial Detention Warrant Questioning
On May 18, Channel A’s “News A” announced that they had the exclusive report on Seungri’s statement during his pretrial detention warrant questioning on May 14.
The questioning on May 14 took place because the police had requested pretrial detention warrants for Seungri and Yoo In Suk. These warrants allow a suspect to be detained for longer than 48 hours. After questioning Seungri and Yoo In Suk, the court ultimately dismissed the police’s requests.
The suspicions listed on the police requests included mediating prostitution services, embezzlement, violating the Food Sanitation Act, and in Seungri’s case, purchasing prostitution services. According to reports, Seungri denied this last charge during two questionings by police, acknowledging that there had been sexual relations but not that he had purchased prostitution services.
However, Channel A’s report on May 18 stated that Seungri had admitted to soliciting prostitution during his pretrial detention warrant questioning.
He reportedly told the court, “It is true that I had sexual relations with a female employee of an adult entertainment establishment after paying money. I am now reflecting on my actions. As a celebrity, I found it hard to admit to suspicions of soliciting prostitution.”
Seungri continued to deny the other suspicions mentioned in the police warrant requests.
According to the police, they are planning to recommend Seungri’s case for prosecution sometime next week.
