Military Official Corrects That Jin Not To Use Phone And Clarified About ARMYs Can't Send Letter To Him

A day has passed since Jin enlisted in the army and ARMYs are still watching his news from afar. However, it seems that also because of this, many people take advantage of it to confuse the information in Jin's army.

Recently, the military official had to issue a notice to the media about Jin's phone use and prevent ARMYs from sending letters. This is some information that is said to be spreading from The Camp and a person claiming to be the Captain of the unit where Jin enlisted posted last night after he enlisted.

Here is the correct and clarified information:

On the 13th, Jin joined the 5th Division Recruit Training Center in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do and began his military service. After receiving basic military training at the recruit training center, he will continue to perform his military service as an active-duty soldier.

On the day Jin enlisted, ARMY kept their promise. Contrary to the expected crowd of fans, it was mostly quiet. ARMYs limited their appearances at Jin's barracks site as much as possible and supported Jin from afar by hanging legal banners in front of the military school in support of Jin's enlistment. They received a good response, the media said that they are ARMYs who keep their promises and show a new fan culture.

In the midst of this, ARMY was put in a situation where they had to make a new promise once again. That's because late last night (KST), a message allegedly spread from The Camp - an app for the family members of enlisted soldiers appeared.

It is said to have been written by the Captain of the 5th Division, where Jin enlisted, and he asked ARMYs: “Please do not send a letter of comfort directly (internet mail)” via an annoucement titled: “ Please notice it, fans.”

Along with that, this person also said, "Our unit (Jin enlisted unit) was chosen as a pilot unit for trainees to use mobile phones, so they can use the phone individually for 30 minutes per day. Direct letters of encouragement are also checked on personal cell phones. However, since it is based on the Internet, if many messages arrive at the same time, the server will be crashed down and other soldiers will not be able to check their mail.”

He continued, “It would have been painful if the trainees hadn't seen the letters sent by their parents, lovers, and other friends. Also, please do not send handwritten letters or gift (to Jin).”

However, this turned out to be untrue. A media outlet interviewed a real official of the Yeoncheon Rookie Training Center - where Jin is receiving training and this person said that it is untrue. The military official confirmed that it is true that the South Korean military is experimenting with giving soldiers 30 minutes of cell phone use per day, but the 5th Division, where Jin enlisted, was not a test subject and he also will not be able to use the phone.

In addition, especially about the letters of comfort sent through the online application, they will be printed and sent to the soldiers at each training center as family members, lovers and friends write them. on The Camp site. The Army has never stated about asking ARMYs not to send letters of encouragement to Jin. It was a fake news.

Even military officials are working to create a separate app platform for fans of famous artists like Jin while enlisting. Fans can send letters and wishes to individual artists through this app without affecting other soldiers.

After the correction from the army, the original poster also said: “I am not a military official and I did not receive an official request from the unit. This is an annoucement written in consideration of a special situation. I apologize that the article I posted with good intentions led to an unwanted misunderstanding.”
