    By law, all able-bodied men in South Korea must spend at least 21 months in the armed forces. Top athletes have been excused from duty if they “enhance national prestige." Now many young South Koreans are questioning the fairness of that practice.https://nyti.ms/2CGYiiL

        Of course it isn't fair. Then again, when hasn't power, influence or popularity been a determiner of where a person sits in society? Of course it isn't fair, nor has it ever been.

        I think all able bodied men and women, regardless of financial status should either serve in the military, civil service, or peace corps. No exemptions! Yes, that includes the Trumps, Obama’s, and all politicians and family. The US would be a much better place for us all.

        Because with k-pop stars it's harder to measure who deserves to be "freed" of such obligation and who just isn't popular/good enough to be granted that privilege.

        It’s not ”fair” from the beginning. The only “fair” measure is to abolish such privilege.

        Obligatory military service is just dumb and unnecessary.

        Sorry to hear that, but you have no right to decide if someone does or doesn’t support the troops
