'The Iron Squad' Lesbian Kwak Seon-hee, Automatically Salutes When Seeing Taegeukgi—Former Female Soldier

Kwak Seon-hee, who became known through 'The Iron Squad', revealed her extraordinary love for soldiers on Armed Forces Day. In particular, she, who drew attention after the broadcast by revealing her daily life with her same-sex wife, is receiving renewed attention for the fact that she is actually a discharged female soldier.

On the 1st, Kwak Seon-hee posted a message commemorating the 78th Armed Forces Day along with a photo of herself wearing a military uniform on SNS. She wrote, "October 1st, today is the 78th Armed Forces Day," and "Do you know the heart of a veteran who wants to salute whenever they see the Taegeukgi?"

She went on to recall everyone from former seniors she meets in society to colleagues performing duties on active duty, and soldiers on leave encountered at train stations and terminals. She conveyed a sense of awareness and gratitude for the existence of soldiers even in daily life, which can be easily overlooked.

Kwak Seon-hee stated, "I live every day feeling grateful that I can view things as if they are natural, even though they are not," and "I sincerely thank all the members of the Armed Forces who are dedicating themselves to the country at this time." At the end, she even added the sentence, "I will not forget. I will not lose it."

Until now, Kwak Seon-hee has shown her strong soldier-like side through Channel A's 'The Iron Squad'. Afterwards, she showed a different side from the broadcast by revealing her daily life with her same-sex wife on SNS.

Rather than flashy broadcast appearances or revealing her daily life, on this day, the identity of 'veteran Kwak Seon-hee' was brought to the forefront. Her single comment about wanting to salute every time she sees the Taegeukgi fully demonstrated the extraordinary affection of a former female soldier on Armed Forces Day.
