Since Jin enlisted in the army, there have been many interesting stories surrounding his life as a soldier spread online. For ARMYs, those stories are never enough for them because they want to know about his life every day.
Not only that, Jin himself also revealed many things about his military life, including meeting an idol rookie in the military camp. This is also what many fans predicted, but looking at the closeness between them, fans are really excited.
Below is the story of how the leader of a famous Gen 3 idol group became a trainee trained by Jin and their relationship in the military:
So far, Jin has been in the army for more than 10 months and he is currently serving as an αѕѕistant instructor in the army. With this role, Jin will be responsible for leading, managing and training many new recruits during their month of basic training before becoming official soldiers.
ARMY was already very proud of how hard Jin worked to pass the tests to be appointed to this position. That shows how hardworking and talented he is. But besides that, fans are also very curious to know how the new recruits will react in the course that Jin teaches.
During the past 10 months, Jin has taken on many rookie courses and many interesting stories about the World Wide Handsome teacher have spread. But among the hundreds of rookies that Jin was responsible for training, there was one most special rookie, leader Kang Seung Yoon of the famous group Winner, and the story between them made fans even more excited.
Specifically, Kang Seung Yoon was one of the new recruits to Jin's unit in the June military recruitment. Winner's team leader was the last member of their group to enlist. At the time he enlisted, fans knew in advance that he would enlist at the 5th Division, Yeoncheon Training Center - which is also where Jin is serving as an assistant instructor.
Since then, fans have enjoyed speculating that it is possible that teacher Jin will directly teach for Division 11 - Seung Yoon's team. Many people predict that the two will definitely have the opportunity to chat and interact interestingly because they are both famous 3rd generation idols. Not only that, meeting each other in the army is a rare situation. This makes fans even more curious about their interaction.
Not disappointing his fans, Jin himself also confirmed that he was Seung Yoon's teacher just 1 month later. On the day Seung Yoon finished his basic training, Jin uploaded a post on Weverse congratulating him on his successful mission along with photos of the two of them together.
He wrote: "Seungyoon-ssi, congratulations on your completion. I had a fun time during the 6 weeks (He's a cool vocalist from the group winner). You worked hard during your trainee life, do well at your base as well sob sob. I asked to take a photo together to commemorate hoping that ARMYs and Inner Circles would like it. Our company commander and administrative commander are good people so he had a good 6 weeks (didn't get special treatment)"
With the friendliness and openness of Jin and Seung Yoon, the two really had a close friendship while sharing the same military camp. Fans also loved the two's interactions and praised Jin for starting this friendship. Surely even after being discharged from the army, they will maintain this good relationship.
Fans couldn't stop expressing their admiration for these two military super idols:
- Welcome KSY nim

- Nice! So he gets to call Seokjin ' instructor nim'
- this is the second idol that came in this year

Meanwhile, Seung Yoon participated in Mnet's "Superstar K Season 2", then debuted as a member of WINNER under YG Entertainment in 2014, a year after BTS debuted. He has also been active as an actor after starring in the drama “High Kick!” of MBC TV, a member of the "Heart Signal 4" cast, a producer for the boy group survival show "Fantasy Boys"... Kang Seung Yoon is the last member of WINNER to enlist after Kim Jin Woo, Lee Seung Hoon and Song Mino. In particular, Kim Jin Woo and Lee Seung Hoon have been discharged from the army after completing their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service as social service workers, while Song Mino is still performing his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service.
