JYJ3’s Note:
After they finished their training, soldiers enter the base as a private, and gradually move up the rank up to sergeant over time (Kim Jaejoong currently is PFC: Private First Class). Their specialties are already assigned according to their abilities. The life at the bases can differ vastly depending on where the base is, and what your specialty is.
Kim Jaejoong belongs to 55th Infantry Division Military Band.
We already informed that being part of Military Band means he will have to do his military service like any other active duty service soldier (Active duty in the Army refers to working full-time as a soldier), but also to ADD his activities as a member of Military Band, this is the specialty Kim Jaejoong is part of, and it was understandable because where else he could display his singing abilities without losing his touch by being on hiatus as singer for almost 2 years?.
Here we have a more detailed explanation of the meaning of being part of Military Band from the army medic’s point of view:

What an amazing hero JaeJoong is!♥I hope he can get some Korean ginseng tea! It really helps with energy! If any one is able to send him a parcel please include some!!
I hope the ‘netizens’ will stop talking s**t about idols being in military band now. Seriously, some of these netz need to have a life. Jaejoong is doing his best in military. I am super proud of being his fan, and really thankful to God for letting me know about such an inspiring person.
HERO Jaejoong – the name really suits him. He is a HERO in everyone’s heart. Take care of your health.
Jaejoongie.. you endure so much huhh?? Why? .. your severe headache before is the cause of entering military band right? heyy.. little rat you’ve gone through a lot in outside world but in military world as well. Take care of your health JJ many of us are waiting for your return. Okey.. then the long wait we can endure it too.. God bless you.
tacke care boss jaejeoong ,, u can do it ,, we’ll wait for the HERO JAEJOOONG 😀 God bless you and protect u
I don’t worry too much for JJ about the additional duties being placed in the military band. I guess ordinary kids can’t imagine what kind of gruesome schedule K-idols endure regularly. And with JJ personality that can’t stand being idle or would feel down when he has free time, it actually works for his advantage. Being able to go to sleep regularly is a blessing for him already.
So proud of JJ and so happy that he has the opportunity to coninue practising his vocals. But will still be so worried about him till 30 Dec 2016. Jaejoong is a perfectionist and he will push himself even beyond the demands of his superiors, but JJ, the human body can endure only that much, Do not allow yourself to reach the stage of exhaustion you reached when YC’s dad passed on. We know you are very strong, you have endured so much, you are our hero but do not feel guilty to take a break when your body needfs one.
i wish that army medic can meet jaejoong so he can ask for his authograph,.. oh but of course not at the hospital.. I pray that JJ will stay healthy inspite of all those hectic training & scheds
Praying with you @caylen 🙏🙏🙏
I think military men, just like company employees, have periodic medical check-up to monitor their health (it may be annual or semi-annual) so I hope he’d meet JJ at that time and share the experience to us 🙂
yes unnie..we want our JJ to be healthy all the time. We are like his unnie or umma who always worries for his health.. indeed being a soldier is really tough with all those intense training plus his band practice with his superiors watching and expecting him to be the best, it would really be tiring..so let’s pray hard..
and yes hope that army medic will share to us if ever he had the chance to meet JJ..looking forward for more info about JJ..though we will not be surprise about those compliments that they will say about him..
take care of your health jaejoong I do know this made me suddenly worried.
A relief is that we understand for the past 5 months JJ had never been there. V
So glad the army medic pointed out to some of those netizens, that JJ is still ‘active duty’ in addition to his military band activities! Keep taking care of yourself, JJ, we’re waiting for you 🙂
Thanks KJJ DC Gall, @crystalmoon64 and JYJ3 Team, you’re like our fandom’s life support, the pillars ❤ ❤ ❤
I think it's easier for idols/singers to be accepted in a military band, but since JJ is not just an ordinary idol so he could not be just an ordinary band member only, I can safely say he's an elite band member. He has some special training for high profile performances, we don't know if it's more tiresome but one good thing is he can sing, not just playing the instruments. Let's pray that more doors will open for him to more performances where he could do what he loves, singing.
Always keep the health and smile dear PFC KJJ, I'm a believer, you can do it, Fighting!!!
