I don’t see how they could not make an exception for him. He provides so much more national pride and value to South Korea being an international soccer star than being a guy who sits behind a desk in their military.

It’s pretty simple, Korean people consider this the one thing that connects them all.

Everyone is required to serve and almost all do, including celebrities, unless you do something extraordinary on the ‘world stage’. IE. bring home a medal from the Olympics or win gold at the Asian Games.

Korean people value ‘duty’ and I personally admire everyone over there who is well known who ultimately does serve.
