Regarding the badges... V enlisted in some kind of special division, so maybe the badge is related to that? I know very little about the S.K. military.So I decided to look at a few articles about the guys’ military service photos. And I found something interesting, maybe someone can explain it. In their first military photos released yesterday, RM and V had individual pics taken of them sitting in the exact same spot. They each sat in the 3rd chair from the left, in a row of 8 chairs. Now I didnt see any special badges on any of the 7 men sitting on either side of them, and the faces/heads of the other men were also blurred so I don’t know if its some type of procedure or something. Now the guy immediately beside V is wearing a blue badge (?) similar to the one V is wearing, but not identical to it. And there is a guy beside that guy with an extra light blue tag on that is similar in placement to a tag that V is wearing, but with a different symbol on it. But no man sitting in RMs photo has a blue badge or extra tag. But the guy seated in the first chair on the left in RM’s pic has what appears to be a black knee support thing on?
Anyway it struck me odd they are both sitting in exact same spot- seat number 3 from the left (number 5 from the right). Their heads even line up at the same spot on the window behind them. Their placement makes me think of numbers like 33, 55, 22, or 88 or something, idk. And speaking of numbers, the guys immediately beside RM and V are holding a sign with Korean writing and numbers on them. In RM’s pic, the card is held between the two men directly beside RM. But in V’s pic, only the one man directly beside V is holding the card. I can read the numbers on the cards, but cant read the writing so I’m not sure what it means. Hmmm… Both RM and V appear to be poised and looking at the camera btw so it’s apparently a photo op for probably some type of procedure/process they do, I guess.
Another thing is this. Why are RM and V photos being shown at the same time like JM and JK? As far as I know RM and V did not enlist under the buddy system like JM and JK did. Are RM and V just on the same schedule b/c they entered camp at the same time? Apparently V has a different position/assignment from RM. Hmmm…
Regarding RM and no badges on the others, I don't have explanation for that.
Maybe the seating is for ID badges? I know at least in my country anywhere you get your photo taken for an ID, passport, whatever, you gotta sit in a certain spot at a certain height with a certain background. ID photos in the U.S. have to be crystal clear. I don't know if S.K. has the same practice around ID photos, but it just makes sense to me.
They entered at the same time and if I'm not mistaken are at the same camp. So in that sense, I suppose they're on the same schedule.
