Rich people do have to serve but they usually go to the "Office Military" which is completely opposite of regular soldiers. No PT, no living in the barracks, eat better food, etc. Many celebrities do this as well (HaHa did this, the dancer guy that was on Infinite Challenge also is currently doing this.)


This is what most of my friends did. Translator jobs and social services.

Was there a doubt? Are celebrities granted exemptions?


As mentioned before, athletes can get exemptions if they do something great. Outside of Shin Soo-Choo, apparently several soccer players got exempted for their role in the World Cup.


actually the whole 2002 team all got exempted for reaching the semi finals.....Park Ji Sung as most know has not and will not serve in the military.

Park Chu Young's career will be a bit screwed up since when in 2 years as he has to leave Arsenal. Many clubs were not willing to take him this summer due to the military impending service thing in the near future.....and I don't think many will want him at 32 years old when he gets out.

Ki Sung-Yuong (Celtic) in Scotland, will eventually face similar problems. The latter 2 will be at the peak of their footballing careers when they serve too......

You respect a guy for being forced to do something he doesn't want to do?
