“There will be no separate events held on their enlistment day, as the venue is a place with a large number of military enlistees and their families. Please refrain from visiting the enlistment site for safety precautions”, said the agency.

But don’t know it will be that fast jungwoo💔”, “Worst day ever omg”, “This military era as a caratzen is breaking me!!!”, “they have served enough please god stop this madness”.
