Further reading-In Korea, there are certain circumstances that can exempt from military service:
I can be exempted from military service if I suffer from a serious mental or physical illness, or if I am disabled. For example, harisu, a Korean female artist, became a woman just because she had sex-change surgery. She is considered abnormal and doesn't need to join the army.
People who have made great contributions to the country can also be exempted from military service. For example, athletes who have won gold medals in the Olympic Games do not have to perform military service, so Korean men are so desperate to win in the international arena. ...
People with high academic qualifications and people with special occupations such as doctors and clergy do not have to join the army. How much contribution can elites like scholars and doctors make to society in two years?
If you have a low education, you don't have to take it. For example, Zheng Yucheng, a Korean actor, was directly exempted from military service because he dropped out of high school and had a low education.
