The Big Bang�leader was asked about his enlistment plans as well as his previous statement about "wanting to step down from the top." G-Dragon joked, "I don't want to step down from the top. I want to be here for a long time." He added, "I'll go whenever the country calls me. No one knows when that will happen, so it's my wish that Big Bang stand as five in front of you all for as long as possible."

He continued, "I think what I'll do after my enlistment is something I should think about when I get back from my duty of defending the nation. I think I'll be older and my thinking process will have changed then. We'll always be Big Bang, but I don't know how it'll be when I'm back. I think that no matter how much time has passed, we'll find our confidence in front of the public."

G-Dragon concluded, "In my heart, I want to stay with you all for a very long time."
