Why should all men in South Korea serve in the Military?

Conscription, under the Constitution of South Korea, states that it is mandatory for all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 years to serve in the Military. The duration of the service differs according to the military branch they serve. Usually, Active soldiers serve for a period of 18 months, Navy soldiers for 20 months, and Air force soldiers for 21 months

Male citizens between the above age range go through an ‘Impairment and Disability evaluation’ before enlisting in the “first citizen service” mandate. 

The actor Gong Yoo also had to serve as required despite having some breakthrough moments as an artist in the entertainment industry.   

Family & Relationships

As of 2023, he isn’t married yet. It is believed that the actor has dated many of his co-stars in the past but has always been tight-lipped about his affairs.
