BIGBANG's G-Dragon had apparently been watched closely by a fellow soldier while in a military hospital.

A letter that the soldier reportedly wrote to his girlfriend, who is a fan of the singer, contains a drawing of G-Dragon's tattoos, his underwear size and the location of his moles.

The letter went viral after the soldier's girlfriend posted it.

In the letter is a human-like figure that looks like the singer.

The letter reads, "I will tell you what I observed, in case you are curious," "I love you," and "(G-Dragon) shakes hands with everyone."

The letter posted on Instagram has now been deleted, after being exposed to the public and the media.

"The person who posted the material could face a claim for damages for infringement of personal rights," said a lawyer. "The military authorities are partly responsible as well, because they failed to supervise the soldiers."

G-Dragon is currently serving mandatory military service, but allegedly was given a privileged one-bed hospital room at an Army hospital in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province after having an ankle operation. Normally, such room would be reserved for colonels, not for enlisted soldiers.

The rapper's agency, YG Entertainment denied this claim, saying there was no such thing as a colonel VIP room at the hospital.

But a media outlet insisted that the hospital's operation system apparently classified G-Dragon's room as "ward for colonels."

The outlet also claimed the celebrity had more days of sick leave than permitted.
