In fourth place, Brave Girls secured their spot as a favorite girl group in the military following hit sing, "Rollin'."

Some generations in the barracks seem to have changed, with soldiers who loved Brave Girls' hit song "Rollin'" being discharged from the military and new soldiers enlisting.

However, many soldiers still thanked Brave Girls, saying, "Veteran of military consolation events" and, "heroes who support soldiers." 

Oh My Girl then, BLACKPINK, and TWICE also entered the rankings at No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7, respectively.

The three K-pop groups were known for their different concepts, yet, their songs and charms were loved by the soldiers in the camp.
