“When the Ukrainian president called for help from across the world, ROKSEAL immediately began preparing to join the war as a volunteer,” he said on Instagram and his YouTube channel ROKSEAL on Sunday.

“We drew up plans and prepared coordination and equipment within 48 hours,” he was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency.

The former lieutenant said he initially sought to leave for Ukraine through a formal procedure but gave up the plan after receiving an answer for his inquiry from the government that people can be treated as a criminal and punished by imprisonment of one year or a fine of 10 million won ($8,210) if they enter countries banned from travel.

“But I couldn’t sit idle without helping Ukraine with our technology, knowledge and expertise simply because of the punishment,” he said, adding he did not share the plan with anyone except a few close aides because his team had to leave South Korea and arrive in Ukraine safely through an informal route.

“If I come back alive, I will take responsibility for everything and take whatever punishment to be given,” he said.

“I’ll raise the status of South Korea as the country’s first volunteer solider.”

Rhee, a former Korean Navy Underwater Demolition Team military (UDT/SEAL) instructor also known as Ken Rhee, first gained fame after serving as a training instructor on his YouTube show “Fake Men”.

He later appeared on various entertainment shows on major TV networks, such as MBC and SBS.
