In the latest episode of ‘Jaefriends’, Younghoon, New, and Q, members of The Boyz, sought advice from Jaejoong, a senior figure in K-Pop, on navigating military life. New, representing The Boyz, asked Jaejoong about his experiences as a prominent soldier.
Jaejoong shared a strategic perspective, highlighting the importance of the initial vacation: “It’s a critical opportunity to assert authority.” He detailed his approach, arranging for a conspicuous van to pick him up in advance to ensure it stood out.
Younghoon, New, and Q expressed surprise as Jaejoong expanded on his strategy. He also organized meetings with senior officers beforehand for joint activities in Seoul upon their return from leave.
Earning respect from senior officers
Jaejoong enthusiastically described how providing rides in his van to departing senior officers earned him respect upon their return to base.
Drawing attention to a common issue, he warned about the prevalence of underwear theft, citing the ineffectiveness of labelling due to limited supplies and rapid deterioration.
