Early life

Augustin-Jean Belon's grandparents are from Arcadie, whose nationality was changed to Joseon when Yuldo was occupied by Joseon. Augustin's parents were born after the establishment of the Yuldo Special Self-Government Authority and grew up receiving education and welfare from Joseon.

Augustin's father worked as an accountant after graduating from university in Seoul, and my mother worked as a nurse at a public hospital in Yuldo. Both are still in the profession. According to Augustin, his parents' parenting style guaranteed their children's freedom as much as possible and was not strict.

Augustin was born the third of four children and attended elementary, middle, and high schools in Yulseong, the central city of Yuldo. Augustin's academic performance was very good, allowing him to enter Seungmookwan easily. According to him, Augustin was the quietest of the four brothers, and because of this, he was very obsessed with his academic performance to increase his presence.

Career

Augustin was commissioned as a major after graduating from Seungmookwan and deployed to the Army Special Warfare Command. He is known for his outstanding performances with activities in Cambodia, East Timor, and Afghanistan. For the protection of military secrets, his detailed career has not been disclosed. According to the information released, Augustin has demonstrated remarkable abilities in tactical missions as well as in formulating strategies and commanding troops. In addition, during his little over a decade of military service, he is known to have no particular career issues, except for one military trial related to the assault on prisoners of war. He was acquitted at military trial for lack of evidence.

After being promoted to Brigadier General, Augustin served as the commander of The 1st Special Forces Brigade. As a commander, he did not issue any wrongful orders and strictly distinguished between public and private affairs, but at the same time was known for maintaining the strict training intensity of the troops. Within the Army, Augustin was widely known as a specialist in special warfare, and hosted several public large-scale special warfare exercises.

In 2023, Augustin was placed on the Major General promotion list, and upon promotion he was appointed as the Quick Response Commander. Augustin is the second Arcadie-Korean commander ever to command a corps-level unit.

Personal Life

According to the soldiers who worked under Augustin, Augustin is a strict and stiff commander, but he is an exemplary commander who has excellent command ability and maintains a very moral life.
