South Korea's Special Forces are practicing some high-octane maneuvers as part of a regular
winter training exercise that's now underway in one of the coldest parts of the country.
Our Kim Hyun-bin files this report from Pyeongchang.
A platoon of Army Special Forces covertly rappels down from a helicopter into enemy
territory... and infiltrates key facilities.
Moments later a bomb explodes,... destroying the building.
On top of a mountain,...
Special Forces are in full gear, carrying more than 30 kilograms on their backs as they
ski down a steep slope.
Once the enemy is spotted, they switch into battle formation in the blink of an eye and
volley off a wave of bullets to neutralize the targets.
These exercises are part of South Korea's Special Forces winter training drills at Hwangbyeong
mountain in Gangwon-do Province.
"It's below minus 15 degrees Celsius here but the harsh conditions don't discourage
the Special Forces from completing their training."
From hand-to-hand combat to underwater infiltration,... they are all maneuvers that wouldn't look
out of place in an action movie.
"We are learning different skills, and enhancing our teamwork and minds to crush the enemy
at any cost.
We train as realistically as possible so we can become the best Special Forces in the
world."
Each battalion of South Korea's Special Forces will go through ten intense days of winter
training to better fulfill their duty of protecting the nation.
