Around 500 fans greeted G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, on-site to welcome him back to civilian life.
“I want to thank you all for waiting for me, and also thank you for coming today,” he told the crowd via a megaphone while wiping his tears. “Now that I am no longer a soldier, I will now return to my career as a singer and give my best efforts.”
After thanking the crowd, G-Dragon boarded a van to take him to a nearby separate event where around 3,000 fans were waiting for him.

G-Dragon debuted with Big Bang in 2006. It is still unclear whether the band will reunite to make music again or that G-Dragon will instead pursue a solo career following his discharge.
It was back in March of this year when bandmate Seungri left Big Bang and retired from the music industry after being accused of alleged sex bribery.
