Firstly, thank you very much. I completed my service in good health. I am very grateful! I would like to thank all the reporters who came here and also my fans (ARMY), who remained here with me in a healthy and safe way.
During one year and six months of my military service, I served as an instructor, which made me participate in several marches. Each time, I saw many Wonju citizens. I would like to express my gratitude to them, who have always welcomed and supported me. It was very exciting!
What I have really felt over the past few months is the immense dedication and hard work of the soldiers who protect our country. They are doing so much for the nation. I feel like it will be meaningful to give these people a lot of love and interest.”
