In the previous episode, the soldiers of the Shinhwa Unit and Company Commander Jo Baek Ho (Oh Dae Hwan) made courageous choices to save each other. Battalion Commander Nam Joong Beom (Jo Seung Yeon) was furious when the face of Jeon Se Gye (Kim Dong Jun) was injured due to a mistake made by Moon Bit Nari (Kim Yo Han). To appease the angry brigade commander, Nam Joong Beom wanted to bring one soldier before a disciplinary committee. Choi Il Gu (Nam Tae Woo) volunteered to take the place of the targeted Kim Sang Hoon (Lee Chung Goo). However, unable to stand by, Jo Baek Ho decided to take full responsibility and went alone to the disciplinary committee. Upon hearing the news, the Shinhwa Unit members submitted a petition on his behalf, which moved Jo Baek Ho to tears. Amidst all this, the sudden news of Jeon Se Gye’s disappearance heightened curiosity about the ongoing commotion.

The newly released photos show the “new recruits” undergoing harsh winter training on a snowy mountain. The Dorm 1 and Dorm 3 soldiers are captured shirtless, engaged in a contest with determined looks on their faces. The reason for this fierce competition is that the winner will earn a 14-day vacation. Viewers can’t wait to see who between Choi Il Gu of Dorm 1 and Jeon Se Gye of Dorm 3 will be the first to snatch the other’s hat in this battle.

In another set of stills, Choi Il Gu, who is nearing his discharge, is seen as the center of attention at a party. Captured in a beautifully decorated space with an abundant spread of food in front of him, Choi Il Gu is beaming with excitement. Additionally, the special dance performance prepared just for Choi Il Gu by Jeon Se Gye and newly promoted soldiers Seong Yun Mo (Kim Hyun Gyu) and Moon Bit Nari grabs attention.
