For context, fromis_9 is a pretty popular group in the military. They ranked like second or third in a recent military survey right below IU and aespa.
In a recent radio interview, Dongjun basically revealed that one of his seniors was a big fromis_9 fan. He wanted to make his life in the military easier so he basically lied to his senior that he was close to the fromis_9 girls and could get him on call someday. Keep in mind, the only reason Dongjun’s lie was credible enough was because he filmed a content with them before lol. (I haven’t found out what they specifically recorded yet but it might’ve been a long time ago).
Dongjun then confessed to the senior that he lied right before his discharge and that he did it to make his military life easier. I feel a lil bad for the senior here because the dude told Dongjun that he was excited the entire year to call fromis_9. Dongjun ended up righting it at the end by passing the message along to fromis_9 that his senior was a big fan, I dunno if they ever ended up talking though.
I also remembered when BTOB’s Minhyuk got fromis_9’s Jiwon’s autograph for his military senior, his military life became a bit easier. He called her the saviour of his military life.
I’m not gonna lie, the fact that these dudes have to get in contact with female idols to make their military life easier does feel sad. I feel like there’s a lot that goes on in the Korean military that we don’t know about (and let’s not get into the disturbing stories that many other male idols have shared about their time in the military).
