President Yoon Suk-yeol expressed his heartfelt gratitude and encouragement to Sergeant Major Choi Jae-hyeok, a special forces non-commissioned officer who collapsed during a march training and was in critical condition, but has now recovered, saying, "I deeply thank and encourage Sergeant Major Choi Jae-hyeok, who miraculously stood up again."

On the same day, President Yoon stated on Facebook, "I hope Sergeant Major Choi, a special forces warrior who demonstrated the indomitable spirit of a soldier, will soon regain his healthy and brave appearance as before."

President Yoon also said, "I extend my gratitude to the military medical staff who devoted themselves to saving the life of a comrade," and added, "I wholeheartedly support the family members who are taking care of Sergeant Major Choi with utmost sincerity." He further stated, "We will do our best to create conditions that allow our special forces soldiers to focus on their missions."

Sergeant Major Choi Jae-hyeok, belonging to a unit under the Army Special Warfare Command, fainted due to multiple organ failure during a tactical march in August last year. At that time, Sergeant Major Choi was in such a critical condition that discontinuation of life-sustaining treatment was considered. However, with the support of the Army patient support team, he regained consciousness and is currently known to be focusing on rehabilitation.
