[talk] I didn't know something like this happened during BTS's military hiatus.

 

By any chance, is it an app for sending letters of comfort to the armed forces? ' The Camp ' Do you know? ?

 

Older guys might not know this, but

Date of birth of the enlisted recruit , Enlistment date , Enter the enlistment unit accurately

' Soldier I miss ' If you register, you can write an internet letter to the trainee. !
