A kid from Seattle had the same situation, except he went to Korea and got dragged into the military. He didn't even speak Korean.
Look it up in google, not hard to find.
side note: I went to Korea when I turned 25 and had the time of my life. hope it works out for you. |

Heya thanks!
I did read about the seattle person and that's why I am trying to be very cautious.
And as for "serving my motherland", I was born and raised in NY lol....while I understand I am of korean descent, I am ultimately an American. If I were able to retain my korean citizenship, that would be somewhat (a very biiiiiig somewhat? Hah) understandable. But according to my findings, once I finish serving, they will force me to choose one citizenship.
Thanks again! |

The last sentence of paragraph seven from the article states that young men CAN hold dual citizenship once they have completed military service. |
