Mandatory Military Service: Two Years in Community Care


South Korea requires male citizens to perform mandatory military service for about 2 years. During military testing, I was found to have scoliosis and was designated to fulfill my military duty as a Social Service Personnel instead (like BTS Suga). 


Following my sophomore year, I fulfilled two years of mandatory military service during which I was assigned to daycare centers. My first year was dedicated to working at a children’s daycare center, while my second year involved serving at a daycare facility for the elderly.
