BTS member Jimin has proved his worth not only in the K-pop industry but also in the South Korean military. Yes, you heard it right. The ‘Set Me Free Pt. 2’ singer recently completed his KCTC training in the military and has been awarded the title of a ‘Special Warrior’ after the same. This news came out on June 3 when the ARMY got to know that the BTS member had now become a special-grade soldier after his training formalities.
If you are still unaware, then let us tell you that KCTC training is considered to be one of the toughest training sessions in the South Korean military. If reports are to be believed, soldiers get little to no food or sleep during this high-intensity training period.
This year’s training period is said to have begun on April 15-16 and had witnessed a participation of around 2000 people. Talking about Jimin, he received the special warrior status owing to his high scores in physical strength, service attitude, military training, and other skills.
