Establishment [edit]
The basis for military conscription in South Korea is the Constitution of the South korea, which was promulgated on 17 July 1948. The constitution states in Article 39, "All citizens shall have the duty of national defense under the conditions as prescribed by Act."[4] [5]
In addition, the conscription is defined and acted by the "Military Service Act" (병역법).[vi] [7] According to the "Armed forces Service Deed" Commodity iii, "Every masculine gender of the Republic of Korea shall faithfully perform mandatory armed services service, as prescribed by the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and this Act. A feminine gender may perform only active service or reserve service through volunteering" and "Except equally provided in this Act, no special case concerning mandatory military machine service shall be prescribed". Merely males being drafted was confirmed by the Ramble Court of Korea, which declared in 2006 that it is the right of government to decide whoever is subject of the conscription, and hence there is no constitutional mistake of government decisions.[viii] Conscription is managed by the Military Manpower Administration, which was created in 1948.[9]
Enlistment and harm-inability evaluation [edit]
By law, when a Southward Korean man turns 18 years old, he is enlisted for "first citizen service," meaning he is liable for military duty, but is not yet required to serve.[x] [11] When he turns 19 years old (or, in some instances, 20 years erstwhile), he is required to undergo an Impairment & Disability evaluation to determine whether he is suitable for armed services service. The table beneath shows the evaluation'due south possible grades and their outcomes, co-ordinate to the Military machine Service Act.[12] Men must enlist by the time they turn 28.[thirteen]

Service types and length [edit]
Grade one, 2, 3 and four: those are suitable for military service (현역) [edit]
The length of compulsory military service in South korea varies based on military branch.[24] Active duty soldiers serve 1 year half dozen months in the Army or Marine Corps, 1 year viii months in the Navy, or 1 yr 9 months in the Air Force.[25] After conscripts stop their military service, they are automatically placed on the reserve roster and are obligated to attend 3 days of annual military preparation for vi years[ commendation needed ] (five years from 2021).
Non-active duty personnel, or "supplemental service" personnel serve for various lengths: 1 year 9 months for social work personnel (better known as public service workers - personnel ordered to do public service piece of work at places that require auxiliary workers such as local community centers like city halls, government agencies, and public facilities like subway stations);[26] 2 years x months for arts and sports personnel or industrial technical personnel; and 3 years for public health doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, or expert researchers.[27]
In 2010, at that place was growing public force per unit area to either shorten the length of conscription or to switch to voluntary military service, and calls from experts for a gradual phasing out of conscription rather than complete abolition.[28] However, in December 2010, after taking into consideration of the 2010 ROKS Cheonan sinking and Battery of Yeonpyeong incidents, the Due south Korean government said it would non reduce service periods.[29]
Class 4: those are unsuitable for the military service (보충역) [edit]
Art-sports service amanuensis (예술체육요원) [edit]
Artists and players who have won government accredited competitions are allowed to work as 'Art-Sports service agents (예술체육요원)'. After a month of armed services training, Art-Sports service agents work through their specialties to finish their military services; e.yard. in professional sports teams, art galleries, museums or orchestra bands. Dissimilar other service agents who are working at factories, farms, universities, institutes or nursing homes, Fine art-Sports service agents are immune to work away.[ citation needed ]
Quondam president Park Chung-hee introduced exemptions for athletes in 1973 in an effort to win more than medals for the country; some historians believe the athletics likewise served every bit a distraction against the government's unpopularity.[30] After winning a gold medal at the 1976 Summertime Olympics, wrestler Yang Jung-mo was granted the get-go exemption. In the 1980s, president Chun Doo-hwan promised exemptions to any athlete who won a medal in either the 1986 Asian Games or the 1988 Summer Olympics.[30]
When Due south Korea co-hosted the FIFA Earth Cup in 2002, their national team was guaranteed an exemption if they reached the circular of 16; the same promise was made to the national baseball team in 2006 if the team reached semifinals in the World Baseball Archetype. Public outrage ensued, and similar exemptions have been rarely granted since.[thirty]
Current conscription regulations stipulate that athletes who win medals in the Olympic Games or gold medals in the Asian Games are granted exemptions from military service and are placed in Course four.[31] They are required to practice iv weeks of basic military training and engage in sports field for 42 months. After that, they are automatically placed on the reserve roster, and are obligated to attend a few days of annual armed services training for half-dozen years. In practice, after athletes end their iv weeks of basic military machine training, they are able to continue their own sports career during the 34 months of duty.[32]
The policy has resulted in coaches being accused of selecting players drastic to avert armed forces service instead of choosing the all-time athletes. Parents encourage their children to pursue sports in hopes of them receiving an exemption.[xxx]
Notable athletes who accept been granted exemptions from military service are the bronze medal-winning football squad at the 2012 Summer Olympics,[33] [34] 2008 Olympic gold medalist badminton player Lee Yong-dae,[35] swimmer Park Tae-hwan,[36] [37] 2022 Asian Games golden medalist tennis player Hyeon Chung,[38] 2022 Asian Games gilded medalist footballer Son Heung Min, and 2022 Asian Games aureate medalist baseball game player Lee Jung-hoo.
E-sport competitors are not exempt from conscription.[39] [ failed verification ]
A total of 220 exemptions were granted from 2008 to 2018.[thirty]
Exemptions are also granted to classical musicians and ballet performers who win commencement place in stipulated international-level competitions. A two twelvemonth extension for notable K-pop artists (from a constabulary that was passed in December 2020) could also be given by government for their career, the age for joining war machine is 30 (which previously was 28). Some resource and media outlets claim that the principal reason for this subpoena was vocalizer-songwriter Kim Seok-jin, who, at the fourth dimension, was virtually to turn 28.[forty] [41] Equally his grouping BTS has had a huge impact (especially in the music industry) worldwide and contributed profoundly to the spread of the Korean culture and Hallyu Wave, exemptions for them were in talks for a few years.[42] [43]
Conscientious objection [edit]
The right to conscientious objection was non recognized in Republic of korea until recently. Over 400 men were typically imprisoned at any given time for refusing armed services service for political or religious reasons in the years before right to conscientious objection was established.[44]
On 28 June 2018, the South Korean Constitutional Court ruled the Military Service Act unconstitutional and ordered the government to accommodate civilian forms of military service for careful objectors.[45] Later that year on 1 November 2018, the S Korean Supreme Court legalized conscientious objection as a footing for rejecting compulsory war machine service.[46]

Equipment [edit]
The Ministry of National Defense has revealed that it failed to provide sneakers to 7,411 recruits who joined the armed services from 22 May to 4 June 2012, after the budget was bereft for need. The Defense ministry originally projected the cost of each pair of sneakers to exist 11,000 KRW. However, the bodily cost turned out to be 15,000 KRW.[48]
The office of National Assembly fellow member Kim Kwang-jin of Democratic United Party revealed that cadets in Korea Armed services Academy were provided with sneakers worth 60,000 KRW and lawn tennis shoes. Cadets in Korea Regular army Academy at Yeongcheon were provided with sneakers worth 64,250 KRW, in addition to running shoes and soccer shoes.[49]
Dual citizens [edit]
For dual citizens, or those with multiple citizenships, male person South Koreans must choose their citizenship by the time they turn 18, earlier 31 March of that yr. If these males cull to revoke their S Korean citizenship, they volition not be required to complete their mandatory military service. However, if they fail to cull their citizenship past their 18th year, they will be subjected to fulfill their mandatory armed services service[fifty] and, for those who wish to maintain their multiple citizenships, an oath not to exert strange nationality within two years since finishing their military service.[51] If males choose to renounce their citizenship by their 18th yr, they are ineligible to gain a South Korean work visa (F serial) until after they plow 40 years of age. Information technology may nevertheless exist possible to gain an East series visa.
There have been cases of Koreans away (e.g. Korean Americans) being forced to serve in the military, every bit they were unaware they were really citizens of Due south Korea. This happens when these people visit Republic of korea. One cause of this is the inadvertent inclusion on the family unit register.[52]

The Forced Labour Convention explicitly excludes "any work or service exacted in virtue of compulsory military service laws for work of a purely military machine character" from its scope.[53] Yet, ILO defines conscription of not-military purpose as forced labour.[54]
Co-ordinate to ILO, Korean conscription violates the forced labour convention, because Korea enroll men with disabilities for not-military purposes. Bulk (+xc%) of the "Reserve - class 4 -" works as "social service amanuensis (사회복무요원)", and work with wages far less than the minimum legal wage at various fields including government offices, subway stations, taxation offices, post offices and sanitarium.[53]
In April 2021, Korea ratified the Forced Labour Convention. But the conscription of Korea did not change. Korea inverse its conscription law by providing "correct to determine to be enrolled" to "reserve - class 4 -. those with modest disabilities". Korea claims that this change makes the conscription legitimate because "reserve - form iv-" now have right to make up one's mind their methods of conscription between soldiers with active duty and "social service agents".[53]
However, ILO informed that enforcing "reserve - class 4-" to work as "social service amanuensis" is a violation of the Forced Labour Convention in a number of their almanac reports.[53]
Hazing [edit]
Lowering standards of acceptance [edit]
In recent years, the South Korean government is preparing a policy to lower conscription standards for mental and concrete atmospheric condition that would previously be considered exempt, every bit information technology fears that the nation's low birthrate will lead to fewer conscripts. South korea in 2022 has the everyman fertility rate in the globe, a title besides bestowed on the country the previous twelvemonth.[55] Notwithstanding, experts warn that such actions will lead to wider issues already present in the armed services, by recruiting personnel who would not be able to arrange to the closed military.[56]
Typhoon evasion [edit]
In full general, the S Korean public tends to exist intolerant towards men who attempt to evade mandatory armed forces service or receive special treatment, especially if they are exploiting family wealth or political connections. Typhoon evasion is a punishable criminal offense, but many entertainers, athletes, politicians and their children are known to have fabricated medical or other reasons to seek exemption from military service.[57] [58] According to a 2022 written report by the War machine Manpower Administration, the about common evasion tactic was farthermost weight loss or gain (37%), followed by fabrication of mental illness (23.vii%), and deliberate full-trunk tattoos (twenty.3%).[59] Studying abroad or migrating overseas to obtain foreign citizenship are considered the preferred selection for sons in wealthy families, while nearly a hundred high-ranking politicians including sitting members of the National Assembly have managed to accommodate unexplained exemptions for their sons.[60] These cases of draft evasion are to exist distinguished from conscientious objection on political or religious grounds.
Steve Yoo [edit]
In 2002, right before South Korean popular vocalizer Steve Yoo was due to be drafted for his military service, he became a naturalized U.S. denizen. He was born in Seoul and migrated to the United States at the age of 13. The Due south Korean regime considered it an act of desertion and deported him, banning him from entering the land permanently.[61] In February 2017, Yoo lost his second and final entreatment regarding his entry ban which prohibited him from entry and any farther appeals.[62] However, citing procedural irregularities, the Southward Korean Supreme Court re-opened the example in July 2022 and sent the case to the Seoul Loftier Courtroom, ordering them to retry Yoo'south case.[63] In November 2019, the appeals court reversed the ban, paving the way for Yoo to return to the country, pending approval of a visa.[64] One of Yoo's visa requests was denied in July 2022 by the Los Angeles Consulate, citing Korean law that allows discretion in denying visas to applicants that "posed a threat to public interest."[65]
