His note read: ‘While an article I didn’t want [regarding my enlistment] has been published, ARMY, you can’t come to the recruit training center.
‘As there’ll be many people other than myself, it will be crowded and can become dangerous ARMY, I love you.’
Citing unnamed military authorities, the announcement of his enrolment in basic training was confirmed by local press Aju Business Daily and also included details that he is set to receive an official assignment on completion of the initial programme.
