It has been reported that BTS’s V has chosen to fulfill his mandatory military service by joining the SDT (Special Duty Team), a special task force known within the Army’s Capital Defense Command, a decision that has attracted attention.
V is set to begin his basic military training at the Nonsan Training Center on December 11, followed by subsequent assignment to specific units under the special task force.
SDT is recognized for its involvement in anti-terrorism and urban warfare training, encompassing activities such as initial response measures, anti-terrorism operations, VIP protection, the apprehension of armed deserters, and general disaster relief missions.
Members of the force undergo comprehensive training, covering areas such as physical fitness, combat techniques, various anti-terrorism tactics, explosives handling, sniper training, and rappelling, among other skills. The emphasis on continuous rigorous training remains a notable aspect of their commitment to maintaining proficiency among the force’s members.
One netizen shared, “TMI 1: Known for its intense training, it is a nationally designated counter-terrorism unit. However, the weight training facility is said to be the top-notch among the training facilities within the Capital Defense Command.
TMI 2: It is said that the taste of the food is the best within the Capital Defense Command.
TMI 3: On holidays, they play soccer, but it is said that they engage in hardcore activities to the extent that hiking seems easier in comparison.”
Korean netizens were impressed with V’s decision to join the SDT and commented, “He’s amazing,” “I think V is really awesome that he applied to be in the special forces,” “The training is so intense, at least the food needs to be good,” “I laughed out loud when the poster said the food is the best,” “I believe V will do well,” “I hope he returns safely,” “Doesn’t he have a fear of heights? How will he handle the rappel training?” “I can’t wait to see V wearing the all-black uniform,” and “I hope he returns safe without getting hurt.”
