I never knew South Korea had a conscript military. I can see why though.
A pretty tough one too. A guy I went to college with and also worked summers in a factory with (he worked full time year round and went to school) was in the ROK army. He was luckily though, he was KATUSA (IIRC), Korean army support for the US Army. The NCOs in that group couldn't just haul off and smack a troop with their hands or with a rifle butt, as regular ROK NCOs could and often did. (The RoK Army traditions come mostly from the pre WW-II Japanese.)
