HYEOKJUN CHOI

At a logistics hub center located in Daegu, I worked on sorting parcels coming out on conveyor belts by region, so that deliveries to different neighborhoods could be carried out more efficiently.

I served as an Artillery Forward Observer at a frontline Guard Post (GP) located only 500 meters from North Korea. Every two months, I was deployed to the GP, where I carried out daily surveillance and reconnaissance duties for 7 hours, maintaining constant vigilance over North Korean posts. As part of a frontline security unit, even during rest periods, I was required to remain in a state of readiness and alert. Over the course of 18 months of service, I spent a total of 10 months performing observer duties at the GP. After each two-month deployment at the GP, I returned to my artillery unit, where I served as a senior soldier responsible for training reservists and junior soldiers, providing instruction and guidance in operational readiness.

Responsible for serving ordered dishes to customers’ tables and preparing charcoal by lighting it in the furnace and delivering it to the tables.

As an Air Conditioning Installation Assistant, I supported the installation of both wall-mounted and standing air conditioners. My responsibilities included handing necessary tools to the technician, wrapping air conditioner wiring, sealing holes with silicone, and moving air conditioning units.
