I met many interesting people while serving.

A Professor of Egyptology, fluent in a dozen languages or more. A guy whose business card simply listed Maui & San Francisco and his name; his father owned the houses and a lot more. A Canadian whose brother was KIA RVN, working hard to even up...

"For months it was rumoured that the government might allow the members of BTS to skip the service, on the basis they had already served their country by earning it billions of dollars...."

technically at war with its hostile neighbour North Korea

Technically? If the ROK troops weren't there, Korea would become "unified" under Kim Jong-Un. The only thing that stops him is that his military can't match our's and Korea's military forces.

Yawn...

Elvis did this 60 years ago...

I talked to a retired US Army guy who served on the border at Korea. He said service in the South Korean Army was no joke. NCO’s would slap you around and make you stand out in the cold if things weren’t done right.

The ROK doesn’t fool around when it comes to military service. My Korean-American girlfriend’s son still lives there and while over there he told me a bit about his active duty in the Army. He also told me that he’s required to be in the Reserves until he’s 45 (I think it was 45).
