Kim Dong-hyun Says He Wants to Rejoin the Marines on TikTok’s Tikitaka Talk Show

Entertainer and former martial artist Kim Dong-hyun expressed his intention to re-enlist in the Marine Corps on the TikTok original content 'Tikitaka Talk Show' (hereafter 'Tikitaka Talk Show'). The key moment comes in episode 11, released at 8 PM on the 29th, when he opens up about his military service.

In this episode, cast members from the Army and Marine Corps gather to engage in a battle of wits to determine the strongest 'Military League' talker.

Army and Marine Corps Cast 'Military League' Talk Battle

In this broadcast, Lee Yong-ju, Lee Sun-min, and Song Ha-bin appeared as representatives of the Army, while Kwak Beom, Kim Dong-hyun, and Amotti appeared as representatives of the Marine Corps, forming a tense competitive structure. From the start of the recording, both sides attempted to seize the initiative by singing military songs.

Kwak Beom, who is from the Marine Corps, showed extraordinary Marine pride by saying, "Talking about the Army and military stories is illegal," which drew backlash from the Army side and elicited laughter.

Kim Dong-hyun "I want to rejoin the Marines"

The real highlight is Kim Dong-hyun's surprise remark. He vented his frustrations about military life by mentioning experiences that were even harder than his training during his time in the Marines, and then caused a stir in the studio by saying, "I want to rejoin the Marines."

DinDin added to the curiosity about Kim Dong-hyun's inner story, saying, "No wonder Dong-hyun hyung doesn't talk much about the military wherever he goes."

In the past, Kim Dong-hyun was noted as an ace based on his solid physical strength when he entered the Igija Unit recruit training center for MBC's 'Real Men'. However, at that time, while undergoing training in a Marine Corps style, he was pointed out by an instructor, "This is not the Marine Corps."

DinDin's Reconnaissance Unit Experience and Ahn Jung-hwan's Training Center Memories

DinDin, who is from the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Unit, expressed respect for the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Unit while sharing his experience of having to enter the water with his hands and feet tied during reconnaissance training. Former soccer player Ahn Jung-hwan recalled memories of playing soccer with a division commander during his training center days.

Ahn Jung-hwan had everyone laughing when he said, "Even though I only gave him standing passes, (the division commander) was happy. He even gave me ramen after we finished."

Episode 11 of 'Tikitaka Talk Show' is released through TikTok Korea's official account and Ahn Jung-hwan's personal TikTok account 'Ahn Jung-hwan19', and the content is uploaded every Monday and Thursday at 8 PM.
