Jeong Dong-won shared, "My father was part of the 707th Special Mission Group, so I heard a lot about the military growing up. If I'm going, I want to do it properly and come back as a man."

Oh Jong-hyuk responded, "I think Dong-won will go to the Marine Corps. I was the same. My father was in the military and strongly told me, 'I'm going to make sure you join the Marines.' Most people like him end up in the Marine Corps."

Jeong Dong-won expressed, "I feel good. I was thinking about joining the Marine Corps, and hearing from a senior who was in the reconnaissance unit gives me hope."
