While Wonpil only said one line, based on his facial expression, it seemed like he was relating to the experience. While he only says, “Right,” within context, it could be more translated to, “I know what you mean.”
Although the initial tweet got many likes…

On a more serious note, netizens pointed out that in the past, netizens had seen messages about Wonpil from those in the army. While it seemed like a joke to them, netizens pointed out the tone and that his experience was quite different from his other members.
Its sad its probably bcs wonpil just feels uncomfortable with these guys bcs its different from what youngk and sungjin said. They said wonpil talks alot to the point that he doesnt even want to end the phone call.. https://t.co/opwxlx0XNL

While the narrative remained light-hearted when the video went viral, the reaction of Wonpil and Dowoon’s story emphasizes the prejudice and treatment idols have revealed they get when enlisted.
