To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the military allows soldiers to be discharged directly after completing their leave before discharge, without returning to their unit.

 His agency and Park's side reportedly wished for a quiet discharge without prior notice to the public, considering the COVID-19 situation.

 Park volunteered for the Navy's Military Band and Honor Guard, Cultural Public Relations unit in 2020 and passed the exam. He began his military service at the end of August 2020. On the 10th of this month, ahead of his discharge, he served as a one-day instructor for a session on "Successful Military Service Cases of Exemplary Leader Soldiers" for Navy trainees.
