Girl groups are sending encouraging messages to conscripts and soldiers.
The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) Wednesday released a video featuring popular girl groups conveying messages to cheer them up.
The K-Pop girl bands include Girl's Day, EXIT, GFRIEND and The ARK. Actress Kyung Soo-jin also participated in the campaign.
"People support all of you that are committed to military service. I hope that you will stay in shape during the spell," said Hyeri of the four-member Girl's Day.
The EXID, comprised of five girls, said, "Although you may have hard times during military service, we are rooting for you to become proud sons to your parents after completing the military duty."
The agency said it produced the video in order to create a culture of pride in military service, while boosting the positive recognition of the mandatory commitment. The featured entertainers did not get paid for their appearances, it added.
"The MMA made the video to thank those who sincerely serve their military service, and I hope that sincere messages from the entertainers will be conveyed to them," said Park Chang-myung, the MMA commissioner.
The video was released on the agency's website, Facebook page and blog.
