A photo of the Marine Corps Boot Camp (training facility) has been released, and a star has been captured.

He is P.O. (Pyo Ji Hoon), a member of Block B, who joined the Marine Corps on March 28. 

On April 4th, various images from the first week of training and daily life instruction of the 1280th recruitment's third and fifth training units were posted on the Marine Corps' official blog. Several images were provided, but the appearance of trainee P.O was recognizable.

P.O had his hair cut short and was practicing and living in a disciplined posture in the shot. He wore a mask that covered more than half of his face, yet it seemed that P.O's charming fierce eyes and aura could not be hidden.

P.O arrived at the Marine Corps Education and Training Team in Ocheon-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do at around 2:10 p.m. on the 28th of last month and walked into the unit.

After seven weeks of training, P.O will become a marine on the 1280th. P.O's discharge date is September 2023.

P.O, who made his debut as a member of the group Block B in 2011, has received acclaim for his work in entertainment, drama, and theater.

He has reinforced his place as an artist in particular by featuring in the tvN entertainment shows "New Journey to the West" and "Great Escape" series.

Late last year, he signed an exclusive contract with Artist Company, an agency founded by actors Lee Jung Jae and Jung Woo Sung, to launch his new career as an actor.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
