British Students join Korean Navy: Boot Camp Day 1

Omg, the instructor saying no laughing, no chatter and them immediately doing the opposite gave me anxiety

6:40 Bobby's "kamsahamnida" after listening to the rules and Josh fighting for his life already 😭

Jayden, Nati, and Harvey are taking this experience so seriously. I love how they were also talking with the Korean recruits (and shout out to the young bilingual men who are in the squad!), making conversation. These three are really showing their resilience and maturity in this series!

Harvey is so charming in this series. We can really see how much of a team player he is in how he wants to encourage the Korean recruits as well acknowledging that they will have to be there for nearly 2 years. Nati also for continuing to show passion for learning Korean and fully immersing himself in his surroundings. And Jayden for being willing to literally dive in and try his best. This will be tough on the boys and I’m curious to see how much the boys will change in such a short time.

I can already tell Harvey is shining in this series. He actually took this seriously from day one, interacted with other Korean recruits and cheered them on.

bro i’m so proud of jayden. not knowing how to swim and still doing a 5 metre dive is courageous. the fear of drowning paralyzes people.

I’m curious to see how Armand will handle this experience. From what I remember he was head boy at their academy, and was held in a pretty high regard in terms of representing the school. They would often joke about him being the responsible one, but he is so completely out of his element here. Being someone that everyone has such high expectations of and not meeting them can really mess with someone’s mind. I wonder if that’s part of why he seems so nervous and uncomfortable. They all are, but he seems agitated in a way we haven’t seen before.

The respect I have for Mr smith joining these boys. I feel as if we’ve all had a teacher or someone that means a lot to them.

I love that Harvey, Jayden, and Nati shine in this series. In the earlier light-hearted series, they are typically quieter and calmer so they're usually in the back but their maturity really comes through in this one. Jayden with his athleticism, jumping off a 5m, and swimming in deep water with no hesitation even though he doesn't know how to swim shows his self discipline. The respectful way that Harvey and Nati are speaking Korean, following directions, and socializing with the Korean soldiers is exemplary. They're all taking this boot camp seriously. These are outstanding young men!

Holy crap. The fact that Armand is telling his best friend to STFU is showing that Armand is stressed. This series is already going to be unlike what we've seen already.

Kudos to Trainees Hong, Lee, Nam and Kim! Wishing you all a successful and safe completion of your training.

이번 편은 한편의 휴먼다큐를 보는 느낌. 모두에게 똑같이 힘든 상황을 6명이 가지각색으로 반응하는 게 넘 흥미로움. Harvey는 저 유리구슬같은 눈으로 항상 자기 주변과 사람들을 빠르게 관찰하고 이해하는 영특함이 있음. 누구나 친해지고 싶어하는 조용하지만 다 잘하는 인싸. Jayden은 "아 ㅈ됐다 그래도 해야지 어떡해"식의 일관적인 태도가 개힙함. 매번 별 말 안 하고 튀지 않아도 저런 묵직한 태도가 Jayden의 존재감을 항상 기억하게 함. Bobby를 보면 천성이 부드럽고 사랑 많은, 누군가의 소중한 애인이자 가족이었을 수많은 역사 속 전쟁 병사들의 사연을 상상하게 됨. Nati를 보면 역시 인간이 발휘할 수 있는 힘의 범위는 육체 그 이상이고 마음이 강하면 가장 강한 사람으로 보일 수도 있다는 걸 느낌. 개인적으로 내가 저런 극한의 상황에 있었더라면 Max 같은, 어딜 가든 도저히 낙천적인 기질을 포기할 수 없는 유형의 사람 한 명은 있었으면 좋겠음. 힘들다가도 한번씩 피식하게 되는 건 저런 사람들 덕분이니까...난 이번 편에서 본 Armand의 새로운 모습이 신선함. 동시에 따지고보면 새로울 것도 없는 게 누구나 저런 상황에서 저런 말과 행동, 반응을 보인 경험 한번쯤 있음. 그런 적 없더라도 인간적인 공감으로 이해가 됨. 그런 역할이 하필 "잘생기고 항상 웃고 있는 전교회장 엘리트" 이미지로만 비춰지던 Armand이라서 많은 사람들에게 좀 충격인 듯 한데 결국엔 그도 여느 갓 성인된 서툴어도 괜찮은 나이의 청년이니까. 다들 이번 경험 통해서 그 나이에 딱마침 필요했던 교훈을 얻었을 것 같은데 그게 넘 기특하고 부럽네. 나 이 시리즈 끝나서도 과몰입 할래.....(끝나지마 하비제이든바비나티맥스아르망 포에버)

I hope there’s no hate comments towards the boys as this part of the series progresses. Let’s all remember that it’s easy for us, as viewers, to sit and watch and have opinions about how the boys handle the situation they are actually physically in. Of course, there are moments that are inappropriate and immature, but this is so far out of their comfort zones and people all have different ways of coping. I’m sure watching this back will be a lessons learned for the boys when watching how they interacted and behaved once they’re mentally and physically calm back home, but while they’re training, they are probably not fully aware of what they’re doing.

Drill sergeant: giving an intimidating speech Josh: looking the most serious he ever has Bobby: Kamsamnida 😂

뭐든 다 잘할 거 같은 엘리트도 약한 부분이 있고 평소엔 잘 안보이던 친구들이 이번 영상에선 유독 눈에 띄기도 하고 역시 사람은 다 맞는 자리 맞는 때가 있는 듯

20번은 넘게 보고 있는데...ㅋㅋㅋ보면 볼수록 나티Natti가 진짜 진국이다. 나티는 제일 genuine person. 나티는 눈치도 빠르고 습득도 빠릅니다.Natti는 두뇌가 진짜 똑똑한 것 같아요. 게다가 진지해야 할 때 진지해서 멋있어요. 실제 군대에서 제일 이쁨받고 적응 잘 할 스타일입니다. 나티는 너무 멋있고 똑똑하네요.

Harvey seems like a very mature and respectful young man. He has always been quiet and underrated in the group, so it's nice to see his interpersonal skills here.

영어 할 줄 안다고 저기 따라 붙어 케어한 한국인 훈련병들도 진짜.. 고생 많았어요 본인들 챙기기도 바빴을텐데

말도 안통하는 곳에서 힘든 훈련을 받아야 한다는 건... 힘들고 적응하기 어려운 일이라고 생각합니다. 다들 4일간 다치지 않았길 바라고, 애써준 통역병들과 군관계자들.. 그리고 모든 군인여러분들 수고가 많으십니다!!!! 다음편도 얼른 보고싶어요ㅜ

Bobby saying "Thank You" killed me lol... and Josh trying not to laugh.
