Korean Military SA recruiting timing

So I'm a Korean who will serve in the military after his sophomore year, so my graduating year would be 2027 instead of 2025. I was initially planning to go to the army after freshman year, but I had some personal issues that postponed my subscription. So basically, I leave the military in June-July 2025, and I assume the earliest 2026 SA applications would open around June 2024. What I'm worried about is whether super day interviews occur while I'm in the military. I would assume that the interviews before that would be online. Luckily, since I am an office worker, I could maybe hustle a day flight to the US, but that would be pretty tiresome and expensive. I'm aware that EBs open their applications the fastest, but based on past data, what would be the earliest timeline superdays would occur, assuming that the 2026 SA applications started? FYI, I'm an F1 visa student who attends a target school with a 3.8+ GPA. I'm also doing a summer freshman internship right now in Seoul and am currently taking some roles in the M&A deals. I'm planning to do two more internships, one in the US and another PE internship back in Seoul. I didn't start networking since I assume most of the current investment bankers would go through significant transitions (and some might even leave the industry) until the 2026 SA recruitments.
