Dangerous Days for Kim

EVER since Kim Soo Hyun enlisted in the military, not much information has been released on his daily responsibilities. Some specifics about his duties have just been revealed though and they are actually quite dangerous! He’s currently serving in the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, which is stationed in the DMZ (demilitarised zone). Located at the northernmost part of South Korea, it serves as the border between North and South Korea. Due to lingering tensions between the two Koreas, Kim regularly patrols the area with his battalion on the lookout for enemy ambushes. They also search for and avoid active land mines. A North Korean land mine last exploded in 2015, killing two people. Kim’s fans won’t have to worry too much thankfully, as reports indicate that he is acclimating well to his army life.

Military officials shared that Kim is an excellent sharpshooter with his rifle and did very well during basic training.

He also gets along well with his peers and has good relationships with members of his battalion.

Kim has mentioned in passing that he has denied all interviews during his enlistment since he doesn’t want to burden his battalion.

“I feel burdened to do interviews because it can damage my battalion. I do not want to cause any harm to my fellow soldiers,” he said.

Kim is expected to be discharged from the military on July

22, next year.
