Let’s clear all the misconceptions about the military ranks, roles, etc. Facts over Fan created narratives. Here’s an article written by journalist Choi Han-jong of Hankyung (The Korea Economic Daily): ‘All Members Completed Military Service’ BTS… Who Served in the Toughest Unit? V, who served in the SDT and silently enlisted to quell ‘military service controversy,’ highlights assistant instructors Jin and J-Hope Among the BTS members, the one most frequently mentioned for taking on a high-intensity role is V. He volunteered for and served in the Military Police Special Duty Team (SDT). SDT is a unit responsible for initial counter-terrorism response and VIP protection. It requires high overall combat capabilities, including physical fitness and marksmanship. The selection process is known to be rigorous, and the training intensity is high. It is reported that V stood out during his service in marksmanship, urban combat training, and physical fitness evaluations. The drill instructor positions held by Jin and J-Hope are also formidable. Drill instructors at the recruit training center are responsible for educating recruits, requiring long hours of supervision and outdoor training, while also managing dozens of trainees and preventing accidents. Even within the military, it is widely regarded as not an easy role. RM served in the Army Military Band, a unit known for its strict discipline as they must perform at various events. Jimin served as a gunner in the Artillery Brigade, while Jungkook served as a cook in the same brigade. Suga, who served as a social service agent, is known for concealing his identity as a BTS member and engaging in volunteer work every weekend. Every role has different requirements and types of stress. All seven members fulfilled their military service obligations in their respective positions without exception. 🔗 hankyung.com/article/2026032…
