During these days, news of BTS's m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ enlistment dominated all domestic and foreign media, showing their remarkable influence. Most especially, the fact that V is the only member of BTS to register to enlist in the special forces makes the news of his enlistment even more attractive.
It is known that special forces have an important position and role in ensuring the safety of tens of millions of Seoul residents. It is also the setting for a recent famous ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an movie being shown in theaters. Immediately after the news of V's enlistment was revealed, he made this movie receive even more love, saving the box office at the end of the year.
Here is what the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media reported about the incredible impact of V's enlistment in the special forces on the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an market:
At the end of last month, ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media reported specifically on the official enlistment schedule of 4 BTS members next month. According to revealed information, V will enlist with RM on December 11 but he will join the Special Mission Unit of the Army 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.
This news then spread, creating worldwide public interest in the special forces that V will serve during his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. This also unintentionally makes the movie 12.12: The Day, same setting as the elite Special Mission Unit, where V is set to serve be the most sought-after movie.
̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media said public interest in 12.12: The Day's premieres increases after news of V's m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ enlistment was released. They mentioned: “World cläṩṩ BTS V enlists in the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷. He is known to have applied for the Special Mission Unit of the Army Capital Defense Command, which is one of the settings of the нιт movie 12.12 The Day. The film set against the backdrop of the December 12 Military Uprising and Spring in Seoul from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. It tells the story of stubborn capital security commander Lee Tae-shin fιgнтing against a coup by security commander Chun Doo-gwang. As news spread that V had applied for the Special Mission Unit of the Capital Defense Command, interest in ‘12.12: The Day’ is growing even more. Fans are rooting for V to not get ȟɥȑț, eat well, and build a great body if he päṩṩes the unit. They are voicing their wish for him to grow further and elevate the national prestige.”
Meanwhile, 12.12: The Day was initially considered difficult to reach fans due to its relatively difficult and picky theme. However, after only 10 days of release, the dramatic content, perfect acting and the attraction from V's m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ enlistment news, the film recieved a great box-office success and saved ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an film tickets after a year heavily affected by the post-ĆØVƗĐ-19 economic recession.
12:12 The Day attracted 3,276,919 moviegoers to theaters. This is the fastest pace since Crime City, the only ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an film this year to reach 10 million viewers at the box office. The current pre-order rate has exceeded 65% of the total number of movies currently showing at the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an box office, so 12.12: The Day is expected to be a long-term нιт until the end of December. ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media also predicts The film will surpäṩṩ the 4 million ticket mark this weekend and quickly reach the break-even point of 4.6 million tickets.
This news quickly makes fans truly impressed by V's influence on the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an GP!
