A North Korean land mine last exploded in 2015, which resulted in 2 casualties.

His fans won’t have to worry too much, because reports indicate that Kim Soo Hyun is acclimating well to his army life. Military officials shared that Kim Soo Hyun is an excellent sharpshooter with his rifle, and he did very well during basic training.

Despite being up to 10 years older than his fellow soldiers, Kim Soo Hyun gets along well with his peers and has good relationships with members of his battalion.

To protect his brothers-in-arms, Kim Soo Hyun mentioned in passing that he has denied all interviews during his enlistment. He does not want to burden his battalion.

“I feel burden to do any interviews because it can damage my battalion. I do not want to cause any harm to my fellow soldiers.” — Kim Soo Hyun
