Gree appeared on MBC’s “Radio Star” on Feb. 4 with Kim Won Jun, Jo Hye Ryun and Hanhae.
Gree said “all the parents came” to the discharge site. He said he did not invite his father when he first enlisted in the Marine Corps because he worried his sincerity could be seen as “marketing.” But he said most parents ask where to go for discharge, while his father asked, “Who’s going?” He added that the thinking may differ between someone who served in the auxiliary police and someone who served on active duty, drawing laughs.
“I didn’t join the Marine Corps to look down on others,” he said, adding that he wanted to point out his father did not understand active-duty culture. He also said he was supposed to make a deep bow in front of the base.
Panelists tried to comfort him, saying it was better that he came on his father’s program and that the video would last forever.
Host Kim Gook Jin asked whether no one really came. Gree replied, “Only a few cameras came.” Kim Gu-ra added, “Not a single blood relative came.”
Gree enlisted in July 2024 and served on active duty with the Marine Corps’ 2nd Division Artillery Brigade. He was discharged on Jan. 28.
