At the end of November, the Korean media frantically reported that Jin started its military service from December 13. Jin then also indirectly acknowledged that this information was accurate but hopefully the Armys would not come to see him at the army because the situation could be very dangerous.
After that, many news from Korean ARMYS and the media reported that Jin enlisted to train and Jin would serve as military personnel. A lot of information shows that the time and location that Jin enlist in seems to be very harsh.
Here are probably what you can miss where Jin will operate in the next 18 months:
As revealed by some people working in the army and information from the Korean media, on December 13, Jin will officially enlist at the center for rookie in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi province. Jin will spend 5 weeks of training here before he is sent to his army unit.
Currently, there has been no confirmation of the unit or area where Jin will belong to the upcoming time. However, through the conversation with ARMYS on the Weverse platform, he mentioned that he could enlist in the frontline.
After this information was revealed, many ARMYS as well as many newspapers have exploited where Jin may serve in the next 18 months. The information all show that Jin seems to go through a harsh winter in the place that is always in the highest warning state.
First of all, in 5 weeks of training at the rookie training camp, Jin will study on military posture, combat skills and first aid. For cases trained at the training center in the frontline area such as Jin, he is expected to spend 5 weeks in Gyeonggi or Gangwon provinces - the area near the northern border of Korea. It is known that the soldiers here will take on the responsibility to protect the main force from unexpected attacks.
It is known that Gangwon is one of the coldest areas in Korea with the highest average daily temperature of only 18 degrees C. The weather is mainly cold and wet, especially in months from November to March.
In particular, the Yeoncheon area - one of the coldest areas in northern Korea will be the place where Jin spends 5 weeks of training also records extremely harsh season. The average temperature ranges from -3 degrees C to 5 degrees C in December, and from -6 degrees C to 3 degrees C in January. The lowest temperature was recorded in Yeoncheon is -26 degrees Celsius in 2018 and -20 degrees C in 2021.
In general, the location that Jin plans to participate in the training have a severe weather because of the dense snow in the winter, causing the soldiers to have to clean the road regularly and be affected by the cold climate such as the lack of hot water. A number of training centers operated by Gangwon province faces constant snowstorms during the winter months.
The areas near the border are almost isolated to society, the resort locations are also limited. Moreover, here the canteen for soldiers in the army is not provided so the soldiers can only eat and drink according to the army's supply
Meanwhile, the infantry unit in Yeoncheon was considered to be in good condition, after being renovated in 2012. However, the practice in Yeoncheon is famous for being difficult in the winter.
In addition, if Jin is deployed to the front line after completing the training, Jin will serve in the unit in Gyeonggi or Gangwon. He will continue to face cold weather and snow.
Not only that, the soldiers serving here must always be in the spirit of vigilance and the highest fighting due to the situation between South Korea and North Korea. Besides, these areas are also thought to be a key point and there are even mine areas hidden under the soil and snow.
In general, although the war is difficult to happen at the present time, when hearing about Jin faced such a harsh weather in such danger, ARMYs felt very hurt.
