TAIPEI (TVBS News) — A striking female soldier serving with the 6th Army Corps of the Guandu Area Command is gaining an army of online admirers after photos showcasing her warm smile and good looks were posted in the 'Beauty' section of the PTT site. The post, shared on Dec. 7, has since received a torrent of responses.
The soldier's beauty and sweet demeanor have elicited praise from social media users, with some suggesting she could easily serve as the face of military recruitment ads. Joking comments have flooded in with users asking, "Is it too late now to enlist?" and "With soldiers like her, when are you coming back to camp?"
The soldier has also attracted comparisons to Japanese actress Chie Tanaka. In addition to her military duties, she documents her service and daily life on Instagram, where she has amassed over 7,000 followers.
Despite the commonly held masculine image of the military, increasing numbers of women have been serving in the Taiwanese armed forces in recent years, reflecting societal progression. The attention the female soldier has garnered highlights this growing trend of women in the military.
