Doctors of T.O.P initiated a press conference on June 7 at 4 p.m. KST to update the public of the idol's status. The BIGBANG member is being treated at the Ewha Woman's University Mokdong Hospital.
T.O.P was hospitalized on the evening of June 6 after he was found unconscious at his military base. It was suspected that the idol overdosed of the medicine he takes for his anxiety.
