In recognition of the Month of Patriotism and Veterans, a family of four siblings serving as non-commissioned officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force has been highlighted.
On June 10, the Army introduced the siblings: Sergeant Kim Mun-jeong (Army 5th Armored Brigade, Artillery), Sergeant Kim Mun-soo (Army 12th Division, Logistics), Sergeant Kim Tae-hee (Navy Air Command, Aviation), and Corporal Kim Jun-won (Air Force 3rd Training Wing, Communications).
The twin sisters, Kim Mun-jeong and Kim Mun-soo, were inspired by their grandfather, a Vietnam War veteran, and both commissioned as non-commissioned officers in the same year.
Sergeant Kim Mun-jeong serves as an administrative non-commissioned officer in the Army's 5th Armored Brigade, while Sergeant Kim Mun-soo works as a supply control non-commissioned officer in the 12th Division's support battalion.
Choosing the Navy, Kim Tae-hee commissioned as a non-commissioned officer in 2022 and currently serves as an air traffic controller in the 622nd Air Squadron of the Navy Air Command.
The youngest sibling, Corporal Kim Jun-won, developed his dream of becoming a soldier by observing his three older sisters. He commissioned as an Air Force non-commissioned officer in 2024 and is currently serving as a radio communication systems technician in the 3rd Training Wing.
Corporal Kim stated, "Whenever I faced challenges or difficult moments, I received valuable advice from my older sisters, which helped me adapt to military life more quickly than others. I will continue to do my best in our family's mission to protect South Korea alongside my sisters."
Sergeant Kim Mun-jeong remarked, "None of us expected all four siblings would wear military uniforms, but we take pride in being a source of pride for our parents as we serve to protect South Korea. Knowing that we are each serving our country brings our family immense happiness and pride."
