Jin's military life is still the most interested topic of the public even though he has been in the army for 1 month. Seeing Jin's military training photos over the past 1 month and seeing his growth makes ARMYs deeply moved.
Meanwhile, many people are curious about the treatment and attitude of other trainees towards Jin when he has a different status. Therefore, a military official where Jin enlisted for training spoke out to clarify this matter.
The official's response showed how wonderful and respectful Jin is:
In early December of last year, Jin began his military life at the Yeoncheon Recruit Training Center in Gyeonggi-do. Since starting his military life, Jin has always been in the spotlight to see how his adaptation to the military is after a long time living the celebrity life.
And of course, it is not unexpected, Jin always completes the assigned tasks well and quickly integrates with other soldiers. Even the Korean media that had a chance to film Jin's training center reported that he lived life like other trainees in the army, working and performing his duties without any prerogatives under inclement weather.
Not only that, one thing that makes ARMYs extremely proud of Jin is that in recent days, they found out that Jin has been appointed to a new position - The commander of trainees of his unit with 200 soldiers. This is an important position and seems to best show what Jin is doing. Even so, many people suspect that because Jin is a popular idol so many people support him or that Jin's position is due to his age being the oldest.
After these controversies, an official in Jin's unit spoke up to clarify the situation. He explained, the commander of trainees is self-selected from among the cadets according to the Army's autonomous mission system, that is, without the intervention of the unit leader. During the training process, captains like Jin are responsible for disseminating the instructions of their superiors to the trainees and he is also the representative and shouts slogans when greeting or on duty.
He also mentioned the reason why Jin was given this task. He received a recommendation from most of the soldiers in his unit as the most hardworking and exemplary member. Jin is also considered by the trainees as a mature and strict person, so he can perform well the assigned tasks like a righteous person.
Not only that, he is also reported to be the one who always volunteered to take on the most difficult tasks. You can also see, in the chemical room training session, not every soldier needs to participate in the training, just a few people participate and Jin volunteered to be one of them despite having skin irritation or difficulty breathing when exposed to chemicals.
In another photo, when throwing a grenade on the field, Jin is also the member who is closest to the accuracy when his grenade smokes close to the target. His hard work and efforts were recognized by all cadets and senior leaders of the division. As a result, he received the majority of votes to become the commander of trainees.
Upon receiving the badge from his superior, Jin spoke in anticipation of his new position and thanked his teammates for their support. Jin then received warm applause from the other trainees.
The official also said, “Jin is working so hard in the army that his approval rating is increasing.” He also said that the other trainees were initially hesitant to approach Jin because of after all he was a celebrity even their idol before but it was Jin who helped break down those barriers and integrate into life like everyone else so he got it all The trainees love and help in the training process.
Meanwhile, another official said Jin approaches the training with the same sincerity as other practitioners, even in cold weather. In particular, he is a commander of trainees' who needs to show leadership, so he seems to be considered excellent because he has a harder working attitude than the other students.
Without a doubt, Jin's position is worth his 200% efforts in the military!
