    I have lived in Korea on and off for fifteen years. Lots of Korea hate online for some reason, maybe because Korea isn’t on the best terms with China and are buddy buddy with the US. Anyway, Korea has its issues, but it’s actually a pretty good place to live.

    In relation to the article, military service is mandatory in Korea unless you can give a good enough reason why you can’t serve. The guy in the article couldn’t give a good enough reason, like religious reasons or being vehemently anti war. The judge mentioned PUBG as a side note, but outlets need their rage clicks, so that’s the outlets’ focus.
