Former KATUSA soldier and fellow rapper, Verbal Jint supported Swings via Twitter saying "I wish the best for Swings's acceptance into KATUSA."�


In the past, it was revealed that Swings had been exempt from the military due to being diagnosed with a psychological disorder and this news is being well-received from the public that he had voluntarily applied to become a KATUSA soldier to serve the country.


Meanwhile, in order to apply for KATUSA, you are required to score over 780 on TOEIC (English reading / speaking / writing / communication test), a score of 690 in TEPS (English proficiency test), and have a 1 to 3 ranking in physical health. The list of those who get accepted can be confirmed on the official Military Manpower Administration website.
