BIGBANG's T.O.P has posted on Instagram a message for his fans after being discharged from military service on Saturday evening.

T.O.P held a meeting with about 200 fans in Hannam-dong.

He posted several pictures of himself taken during the meeting, greeting and expressing gratitude to the fans, saying, “Even though I am not proud of myself, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the fans who made time and efforts to share this moment with me. I am reflecting on myself and regretting the hurt and disappointment I caused to you.”

He was previously enlisted as a conscripted police officer in February 2017 but was belatedly found guilty of smoking marijuana multiple times in 2016 on July.

He received a suspended 10-month jail term and was reassigned as a public service worker at Yongsan Ward Office in central in January last year.
