Then he confessed that “people who had been in the unit longer than me said, ‘The summer weather is also beyond imagination’, I thought, ‘No way’, but it really was hot in the summer“.
Jin about the weather during his military service:
“The weather was beyond imagination. I enlisted in the army in December 2022. My colleague took a screenshot of the weather app on enlistment day, and the felt temperature was -30°C (laughs).”
