Unfortunately for K-Pop male group Big Bang fans, T.O.P is currently in the military. But recently, his fans were delighted when photos of him while in the military were released online.
On Feb. 28, Tuesday, the official website of the army training camp, as cited by All Kpop, shared photos of T.O.P and his fellow soldiers in training. In one of the photos, the K-Pop star points at the camera while wearing his military uniform and name tag.
T.O.P is scheduled to be discharged in November 2018. While he is in the military, it was revealed that he was one of the inspirations for the makeup and hairstyling of the Joker (Jared Leto) of "Suicide Squad."
Alessando Bertolazzi, Giorgio Gregorini and Christopher Nelson won Best Makeup and Hairstyling for "Suicide Squad" at the Academy Awards 2017. At the Oscars, some of the inspiration pieces for the Joker were displayed at the Hair and Makeup Symposium for "Suicide Squad." One of them is a picture of T.O.P with his mint hair.

Also nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the Academy Awards 2017 were Eva von Bahr and Love Larson for "A Man Called Ove" and Joel Harlow and Richard Alonzo for "Star Trek Beyond." The award was the only Oscar nomination and award of "Suicide Squad."
Released on Aug. 5, 2016, "Suicide Squad" was written and directed by David Ayer. With Leto as the Joker, the film also starred Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Robin Atkin Downes as Angelo and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.
Davis won her first Oscar at the Academy Awards 2017. She won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Fences," which was directed by her co-star Denzel Washington.
Meanwhile, Leto recently talked about his relationship with Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele. The "Suicide Squad" star said nothing but good words about the Italian fashion designer.
"He puts so much love, care and joy into his work that when you wear Gucci, you're not just wearing something that's beautiful or pretty," The National quoted Leto as saying about Michele. For the actor, Gucci wearers feel the same thing the designer feels when he is making the clothes.
Leto has yet to comment on T.O.P being the inspiration of the "Suicide Squad" character he played. Watch a video of the K-Pop star being sent off to military here:
