There is nothing can do. It is mandatory for the country to serve in the military. Because Korea has enemies everywhere, it has to serve in the military to protect its own country. In fact, even though the United States and the Soviet Union had to split Japan in half instead of the Korean Peninsula, the aftermath of World War II went to Korea. Is it because Korea became the first Japanese colony?

New K2C1 rifles have replaced K2s a few years ago from what I heard(at least in the front area). The original K2s are being pushed to the rear replacing the remaining m16a1s there. (K2C1s are basically K2s with picatinny rails and adjustable stock) At 7:59 in the video, you said that the army is divided into 3 components. That may be right 3 years ago. Currently the army is divided into 2 groups; 1st Ground Command defending the DMZ and 2nd Ground Command managing the rest of peninsula.

Not only K-pop stars but all Korean men are citizens and well-trained soldiers. In fact, a random, random draft in the middle of town can form a nearly perfect infantry unit in an hour. Not all Korean men are the best warriors, but basically they are basic soldiers who can handle AR-related rifles naturally and fire precisely with them. And within 24 hours, you can organize a tank pilot and various heavy weapon specialized soldiers. This is really possible.

I did some training with ROK Marines. They were the nicest/deadliest Marines I’ve ever met. Masters of the mountains.

In conclusion if you see soldiers marching alongside the flag of South Korea, run in the opposite direction because you ain't gonna win

There were violent riots in Los Angeles, California during the 1990's. During the riots, our police were defending rich people, and allowing the rest of the city to fall into chaos. Your people were abandoned. The Korean section of town formed a strong militia to defend businesses against thugs. You fortified rooftops and sent squads on rescue missions. Your area of town was saved because of your people's strength. It's super cool.

Tank crews have to be used to many types of guns Korean Army uses like K2 rifle(trained in Army Training Center, tank crews don’t use this), K1 submachine gun(loader use this), K6 heavy machine gun(originated from M2, it’s on top of the tank for commander), M60E2 and M60D(equipped in tank for gunner and loader), and K5 pistol - M1911 pistol(Commander, gunner, driver use this. Inside of tank is pretty narrow so cannot use K1 or K2). We were instructed to disassembly and assembly those guns frequently, sometimes our camp raised some competitions of handling those guns. I remember some techniques of them as time passes by.

Being a South Korean,I’m proud

To tell the truth, until now, a few retired ex-KPOP idols or Korean entertainers used to enter military service such as Marine, Ranger, and SF soldiers in the Korean army these days. But not all entertainers & K-POP artists entered the Korean army as SF troopers. South Korea's social vibes are so strict that all POP stars & famous entertainers should join their army service and it does not have any exceptional ones. Some two or three guys once wanted to be exempted unofficially from their military service but all of them were perfectly fucked up at the time. Because most raging Korean citizens wanted to punish all those guys, so they had to join military service instead of being prisoners. Recently, the famous K-POP artist BTS boys began to enter their military service, and the senior member Jin's role is to be an instructor to educate other trainee soldiers in his division.

Worth to mention are the economic policies that Park Chung-hee implemented first before starting the self-reliance programme, "Yulgok Plan". The export-oriented policies (for goods) and chaebol backing (for financing and implementation) allowed Korea to establish the necessary resources to start the military industry. The Yulgok Plan also covers the manufacturing of their own warships.

Correct, the Park presidency/dictatorship(?) also encouraged tech transfers, had a policy of loan guarantees and tax breaks for companies, which are factors contributing to the robust military-industrial complex of present-day South Korea. And prior to the Yulgok Plan, South Korea also ad an established shipping industry, notably that from Hyundai (Hyundai Heavy Industry/HHI).

Awesome video thank you.

Fun fact Lee Min Ho did enlist from the Army some time a year ago. Because its an requirement for every Korean soldier to enlist in the army. Man must join in the army at the age of maybe 18 or 20. (Ps: minor disinformation women does not join in the army only males in Korean join in the army, sorry for a minor inconvenience and misinformation. )

I was stationed at the northern most Korean air base years ago and enjoyed my time there; I was impressed by the professionalism of the ROKAF but less so with their facilities at the time.

lov your vids man

was surprised by the face reveal , your channel is awesome guys keep it up !

My grandpa who is american met my grandma who is korean after vietnam he fought along side korean special forces training them in marksmanship and clandestine ops.

Pretty based not gonna lie. I found a lot of respect for Korean soldiers while I was over there. At least we’re all volunteers. If they were high-speed, it’s because they were naturally lethal and I got nothing but love for that drive and discipline.

FYI, A lot of k3 mgs get jammed if you go full auto. So we were told to pause every second or so (like manual burst fire). I heard that it wouldn't jam if it is conditioned and maintained perfectly, but we were too busy maintaining our k9 artillery. I know that Daewoo is producing a new type of mg, but I would expect that it will take more than a decade to fully replace the existing guns. I know that k2c1 (started spreading 2016) hasn't fully replaced k2 yet, so I expect that it's going to be same for k3 mgs.

Your videos are amazing keep it up also can you make a video on the battle of yultong?

K-pop male idols decided to serve in active duty to protect their beloved Korean fans from enemies in the north. I don't particularly respect them just because they were famous celebrities in society. Instead, I sincerely respect them as proud soldiers defending my country.

a little correction at 1:46 : M16A1 rifles are being used for reserve forces. M1 is for honor guards

This is an awesome video

I was half expecting it to be about a specific soldier but the video was still educational nonetheless!

Love Korea, Philippines' best friend since the 50's.

4:51 actually, it's 18 months for the Army. - from ROKA Sergeant 12.21.2021~06.20.2023 my mandatory service is done in a week :) ah also, we now use k1a(updated rails) and k2c1, which both have rails for the scopes and parts.

Woah. It's the first time I've seen the face of the voice overs. AWESOME!

Love the video! Can you go over the M26 Pershing tank?

the name is ROK, Republic of Korea, aka South Korea, NOT Republic of South Korea.

Would love to do a joint operation with these guys. :)

Be interesting to see a video on Unit 8240 during the Korean War.

1:52 no....not really it is now replaced with m-16. we don't see them anymore. but i heard some of them is well kept in the storage

My sister's into K-pop. She'll love this!

1:28 M1 Carbines in south korea has been reexported to the US from 2009 to 2016. Now the reserve forces use M16A1 and K2 instead of M1 carbine.

1:48 We don’t use M1 Carbine anymore. Today we use M16A1 and K2 for reserve forces 😅

I served in the korean army as a heliborne commando machine gunner. I felt that the k3 machine gun was the world's first bolt-action machine gun. It is difficult to fire more than three shots due to jam

They practice by training for 12 plus hours a day. They are very fit. One of the BTS members said that because of their rigorous training, they can stay under water twice as long.

I'm proud to tell you that our military's small arms are being upgraded overall K1A Carbines went through PIP overhaul; most notable changes that was made is swapping out barrels to newly designed ones in order to fire the most modern heavy-tipped 5.56mm cartridges in their short barrel effectively and special forces units will receive a dedicated SpecOps Carbine named STC-16 to replace their K1s K2 Assault Rifles are given to rear echelon or reservists units to phase out old M16s in our inventory, as the newly made K2C1 Assault Rifle takes up the former place Reflex sights and Laser sights are being supplied to fit on the rails aswell K15 5.56mm LMG is replacing K3s and K16 7.62mm MMG is replaceing the old M60s
