The full-day event features thousands of troops and home-grown tanks and self-propelled artillery as well as attack aircraft and drones, joined by 300 US soldiers.
South Korea last held a military street parade in 2013. The Armed Forces Day event and parade are being held before the actual day on Oct. 1, as it overlaps with a major national holiday this year.
Yoon has promised a swift and overwhelming response against any aggression by Pyongyang, and has actively reinforced a military alliance with Washington and Tokyo since taking office last year. A fly-past of F-35 jets and the country's first domestically developed fighter, the KF-21, was scrapped because of poor weather, the presidential office said.
The event will also feature a joint flyover by South Korean and US military aircraft to demonstrate an"upgraded" combined defence posture, the ministry said.
