DAY6's Young K recently opened up about his many experiences during his military service.

On November 20 KST, the idol was the subject of a post released through the Eighth Army's official Instagram account. The Eighth Army is the commanding formation of all U.S. Army forces operating out of South Korea, and as Young K is a part of KATUSA (Korean Augmentation to the United States Army), he regularly works alongside U.S. soldiers at Camp Humphreys. Earlier this year, he even won the Eighth Army's 'Best Warrior Competition.' 

"Say hi to Sgt. Young Hyun Kang [Young K's real name], who hails originally from Seoul," a caption for the post introduces. "He is serving as a human resources specialist (MOS 42A) in the S1 section of Eighth Army Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion on Camp Humphreys. Young is a Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army, or KATUSA. Specifically, he works in the Leave and Finance section of S1."

In the post, Young K says, "It's been a great opportunity to interact with so many different people, and even outside of S1, I have experienced so much in the Army during my time. I have seen people arrive and PCS (permanent change of station), and sometimes retire."

In the post, he also says that the way the soldiers he has worked with handle goodbyes and just life in general is something he thinks deeply about, adding, "Being able to 'drive on' would probably be one of the biggest lessons I learned. Looking forward to what life would bring in the future too."

Meanwhile, Young K is scheduled to complete his military service on April 11, 2023.
