As Big Bang members G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung each set to be discharged, their management YG Entertainment released a statement.
YG Entertainment posted a notice titled "BIGBANG G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung military discharge in October and November" on Oct 23 at 11 a.m. (local time). It was an appeal to fans to refrain from visiting the location of the members' military discharge.
"The military bases that G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung are stationed are on the African Swine Fever (ASF) virus detection border, and we recommend that this area should not be visited to prevent further spread of the virus with the quarantine system being strengthened," said YG Entertainment.
"Authorities are also asking to take extra caution, so we ask that fans refrain from visiting the location of their discharge to prevent the spread of the virus and to ensure the safety of our fans," said the statement.
Lastly, YG Entertainment did not forget to thank Big Bang fans. "We thank V.I.P for waiting for G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung. We once again ask fans to avoid visiting."
G-Dragon enlisted in February 2018, and in March of the same year, Taeyang and Daesung followed suit. G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung will be discharged from the military in October and November, respectively. As Big Bang members are endeared by fans in Korea and around the world, many are already looking forward to seeing the boy band get back in the music scene.
