Webtoon artist and broadcaster Kian84 returned to the military after 20 years.
On the 27th, a video titled 'A day of Navy sergeant Kian84' was released on the YouTube channel 'Life84'.
The video included scenes of Kian84 returning as a petty officer in the Republic of Korea Navy after 20 years since discharge and spending a day. Kian84, who began barracks life with the crew of patrol boat No. 360 belonging to the Navy's 1st Fleet Command, vividly experienced navy daily life such as sea firing drills, physical training and evening roll call.
Woken by the youngest in the barracks turning on the lights, Kian84 prepared for the morning roll call after saying, "They say the military is a place where no matter how much you wear you are cold and no matter how much you sleep you are drowsy, and now that I'm here it's cold and I'm drowsy," He, a former auxiliary police officer, was moved to join the navy as a petty officer and quickly bonded with his barracks juniors, showing his distinctive affinity.
For the morning roll call, Kian84 went out to the drill ground and saw a barracks junior born in 2005 and said in dismay, "I'm in the class of '05." Afterwards, Kian84 matched steps with the crew during morning calisthenics and a run. As someone who built stamina through running, Kian84 did not fall behind even among crew about 20 years younger than him.
After the morning roll call and a short personal grooming, Kian84 reflected on his past as he looked at the crew he was in charge of. Dressed properly in military uniform, Kian84 boarded a navy ship, reported his transfer and proceeded with full-scale training.
Wearing a buoyant ballistic vest and helmet, Kian84 lamented the toughness of the training as he carried and loaded ammunition weighing more than 20kg himself. In particular, Kian84 completed firing training, including firing the ship's gun at a target about 8km away.
After finishing training and returning to the barracks, Kian84 ended his day by running a sunset run with his juniors. In the push-up contest, he achieved his target of 72 and staged a close match with the young crew, and his resolve to "show the power of a strong 40-something" was acknowledged. However, after a junior later did 81, Kian84 cheerfully admitted defeat.
