South Korea's military has been criticized for asking special forces to learn the cat walk Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) A video of South Korean military special forces running a runway on a middle school model in an event has been leaked online. Although the army said that it was a training aimed at improving the posture of the soldiers, it received a lot of criticism. According to a report by the Korea Herald on the 5th, the South Korean Army's 1st Airborne Special Operations Division held a military performance festival on October 29. One of the sessions was for the soldiers to learn from models to walk the runway. Exclusive video provided to the South Korea Broadcasting Corporation by a blogger who served in the military showed that in the military camp's gymnasium, a model dressed in camouflage uniforms and high heels demonstrated the cat walk, while soldiers behind her imitated the models' steps and runway poses. According to the army, the event is intended to help soldiers improve their physical condition. However, the video quickly drew criticism after it was revealed, with many people expressing concerns about the style and discipline of the South Korean military. Some netizens left a message on the social platform X: "Given the nature and responsibility of special operations forces, it is difficult to understand what the purpose of this training is." "What does this have to do with the confident behavior of the soldiers? " said the blogger who provided the video, adding that the soldiers "must be feeling quite embarrassed". Even within the army there are doubts. An officer told the media: "I don't understand why special forces soldiers need to be taught such things when they already have so much to prepare for? In the face of criticism, an army source admitted that the content "does not match the nature of the force and the needs of the soldiers" and "failed to check the project properly in advance". The officer said that in the future, during the planning phase, the opinions of soldiers will be requested and a strict evaluation of the training content will be applied.
