[Part 7] The Platoon Leader role BTS V took on at boot camp: That thing people say you’ll regret doing in the military 👤V-hyungnim was our 1st platoon’s platoon leader. You can basically think of a platoon leader as the leader of the entire platoon. Since they’re the leader of the platoon, they have to be able to keep track of all the personnel in our barracks units 1, 2, and 3 and identify every single person in the platoon. Honestly, they say one of the roles you shouldn't take on in the military camp is the platoon leader position which V hyung did because compared to ordinary soldiers, there’s so much more work to do. Seriously! They have to comfort and take care of the other soldiers, have to lead us along, and basically become a leader. Every morning, since we enlisted during the height of winter season, outside was seriously… wow, maybe minus 10 degrees or something. It was so cold in the mornings. So every morning, V hyungnim would turn around sharply at the front: 🐯Report! 👤Report! Salute! *V hyung accepts the salute* 👤1st Platoon, 3rd Squad, reporting morning roll call. Total personnel 8, present personnel 8. Morning roll call preparation complete! 🐯At ease! Then if he said ‘At ease,’ I’d also snap into the at-ease position, and every morning we’d check attendance like that. V-hyung was really kind. Really kind and also a very positive person. So if the guys perhaps got into any trouble, he would always step in, try to solve by explaining like, "If you do something like so and so, there will be a problem." and guided us in a good direction. He was a genuinely good person. V-hyungnim is definitely someone who is both a life coach and a great senior because he is experienced in life and is very broad-minded, so he really sees through things well👍👍 (instagram.com/reels/DYzkK0pR…)
