Do all men in Korea have to perform military service?

South Korea implements compulsory military service. Korean men must perform military service between the ages of 20 and 30, depending on their physical condition, and the arms and service time range from 2 to 4 years. In Korea, active service at 1-5 level requires military service:

Level 5 is already a person who has had a serious illness but can live independently. Short-term military theory training.

Level 4 health, you can try simple military training 1 year.

Level 3, 22 months, physically injured but recovered well, and can perform military tasks.

The second level is 26 months, which is basic active service.

1 grade is 3 years, in excellent health, engaged in related industries, generally the air force and navy.

In Korea, most people are concentrated in the second and third grades. It seems that level 2 is the most, and the general distribution is military assignment, but the background of active servicemen will be taken into account. For example, my Korean student's brother is an English major at Seoul National University, so it is possible to give full play to his strengths and send Hong Jingmin to the Propaganda Department when he is assigned for military service, because he is a singer, but this is not absolute. It is possible to enter the artillery and armored forces.

People who don't have to do military service can buy it with money, and there are also (Korean citizens here)

1) mental disorders, major diseases and disabled people (He, Qin Dong, suffering from leeches? Training and transportation? Chu Fei #?

2) Those who have won medals in the Olympic Games and gold medals in the Asian Games, as well as South Korea's international players (know why South Korea's football is strong, and if they don't join the national team, they will have to go to the military camp to suffer, and whoever doesn't work hard! )

3) Doctor (such people have brain protection, so they don't need to defend their country), primary school education level (because the education level is too low, it is estimated that they can't learn military theory, and Li Shishi, who is very good at Korean Go, is at this level. After finishing primary school, people specialize in learning Go, so they don't have to do military service.

4) For those who have reached the age of military service but bear more than three people, for example, a certain gentleman 18 years old graduated from high school and got married. Two children (or more) were born before 2 1 year-old, and his wife didn't have a job, so this person didn't have to go to military service, otherwise his children and wife would starve to death for more than two years, but this triggered a wave of early marriage in South Korea, which seems to be changing.

5) People with many tattoos (whole body skin 1/3 or more) have this article in the military service law because tattoos affect military discipline. However, those who failed the first physical examination and re-examined tattoos (that is, those who obviously tattooed to escape military service) were sentenced to 1 year in prison on charges of intentionally damaging their bodies and evading state responsibility. Last year, Seoul arrested more than 65,438,000 people.

6) Men over the age of 28 may not go, but this is rare. For example, at the age of 26, you were going to serve in the army, but you happened to have a car accident and become a vegetable. You miraculously woke up in bed for two and a half years. When you are 28 and a half, you don't have to go.

In fact, there are still some things that are not mentioned. There are several situations in which you can extend your service.

1) During school, that is, during college, graduate students are studying and studying abroad. They can apply for two extensions of military service at most. After two extensions, it cannot be extended. This can explain that Korean men who come to China can extend their service time, as long as they are over 28, they can not go.

2) Accidental injuries, such as the vegetative example above, broken legs and so on.
