South Korean men between the ages of 18 and 35 years must complete two years of military service because the country technically remains at war with North Korea.
The 29-year-old Bae was charged in February with violating that rule by not securing an extension that permits overseas travel. A United States resident since 2013, Bae challenged that decision in court, saying he didn't qualify as an overseas resident because he hadn't spent enough time outside of South Korea in 2014.
On Wednesday, a court in Bae's home city of Daegu sided with the Military Manpower Administration of South Korea, according to the Yonhap News Agency.

For nobody. The economy in South Korea would TANK if they had to suddenly support the north. It'd be a mess.

They had a pop star about a decade or so ago who renounced his citizenship to avoid service and was banned from entering the country.

I would just never go back to Korea. You're a PGA golfer. You have the money to enjoy your life here in the states. Is that so bad? And this is coming from a Korean poster...

I read that he has made about $6 million on tour and his salary in the S. Korean army will be $130 a month lol. God bless America.
