While some people feel that enlisting seems like a burden and even tend to avoid it, BTS members show how ready they are for enlistment. V even drove fans crazy when he joined a heavy f̾i̾g̾h̾t ̾ing force - Special Task Force of the Military Police of the Capital Defense Command.
V really attracted a lot of attention after kσrєαn media revealed this. Fans are even looking forward to seeing V in this special forces uniform. And behind V's decision to apply for SDT instead of joining the regular army, there are many more important reasons.
He didn't choose it randomly but actually thought it through very carefully, showing that enlisting in the army was a serious and valuable experience for V:
These days, news about 4 BTS members enlisting in the army has been all over the newspapers. Since BTS enlisted in the army, people have seen how strong their influence is when for the first time Kpop idols made global fans pay attention to the kσrєαn m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ system and even change the way the Ministry of National Defense website operates.
In particular, recently fans became even more attracted after it was revealed that V had applied to join the special m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ force - the Special Task Force of the Military Police of the Capital Defense Command. For many fans who don't know, the Capital Defense Command is the only command among the commands belonging to the Republic of кσяєα Armed Forces that is under the direct command system of the President.
Specifically, the Special Task Force of the Military Police of the Capital Defense Command, SDT, is a m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ p̾o̾l̾i̾c̾e unit deployed at the headquarters, corps, and division levels of each m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ unit that exists to ensure the safety of 10 million citizens of Seoul. It is a unique soldíєr system that carries out counter-terr0rism operations, security of domestic and foreign figures, arrest of vi0lent m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ criminals, and emergency rescue and relief activities in the event of various α¢¢ι∂єитs and disasters.
Because they perform not only first responder duties but also direct suppression when necessary, they must päṩṩ a variety of difficult tests when applying and are said to undergo intensive training even after becoming a member. To carry out these special operations, operators must undergo rigorous training. Members of the Special Forces, who are selected as recruits rather than conscripts, must learn special p̾o̾l̾i̾c̾e martial arts, shooting sкιℓℓs, building rappelling for infiltration, and helicopter rappelling sкιℓℓs based on physical training to overcome physical limitations. The members who have been trained through training demonstrate their sкιℓℓs through counter-terr0rism first action training, m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ crim1nal apprehension operations, and joint civil, government, and m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ anti-terr0rism training.
It can be seen that this is the most challenging m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ force among the branches that BTS members can choose when enlisting. The mission of special forces sold̾i̾e ̾rs requires great courage, good health, intelligence as well as endurance. But clearly, V has good reasons for choosing to try his hand in a new field like this.
First, obviously the experience in Special Task Force is a good opportunity for V to train his strength and gain experience for his acting career. The reason for saying so is because V previously expressed his desire to participate in action movies in the future if given the opportunity. Therefore, V wants to take advantage of this opportunity to join the army to actually experience those action situations.
Next, V's decision was probably inspired by actor Park Hyungsik himself - V's close brother in Wooga Squad. Previously, this actor also enlisted in the special m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ forces and had practical experiences during 18 years of m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. He must have given V advice and helped V make the most solid decision. Park Hyungsik himself also accumulated a lot of real combat experience for his action roles from this process.
Not only that, in a recent interview, the actor also revealed that he and V had a farewell dinner with V before he enlisted in the army. Park Hyungsik once mentioned: “A few days ago…I have a friend who was about to join the army soon…so I thought we'd have to say good bye to each other before he would go, so we had a drink". It might be the time he gave V advice of choosing Special Task Force.
Finally, as a SDT sold̾i̾e ̾r, V will protect the safety of 10 million people in Seoul, including his beloved fans. That was probably part of V's choice to join this special forces force.
V shows a progressive attitude, always surprising us as he seeks to improve himself and engage in new challenges. Surely with the training process at Special Task Force Divison, V will grow more and more and make fans even more proud of him!
