It’s impossible for us in the other side of the world to make statements on SK’s conscription without knowing the cultural values/pressures of the nation. Technically speaking, they are still at war with their northern communist brothers.
 
Going to the military for 2 years must suck balls. But it is necessary since they are still technically at war with their crazy nuclear-armed neighbor. It is bad for overall morale to make too many exemptions from compulsory military service. Although many people are fine for someone like Son to skip, there are many others who find it unfair. That’s why they make a select few exemptions with conditions. Even then, there are still some who object. It is considered shameful to skip or to try too hard to avoid. Son sucked it up and did what he had to do with minimal complaint. Another footballer changed nationalities or something to skip and he was forever shamed and blackballed back at home.

Also well said.
 
Is that imploding or stuck onto your back literally ?

I know. I'm just talking about it generally; a player having to leave his club for two years - the club who bought him and pays his wages.

It seems extremely unfair.
Fame and money should excuse them?

What a horrible notion.

agreed

without waging to the rights and wrongs with military service, the thing that is unique about footballers/sports stars, is the length of their careers. Therefore a “fair” way round imv is NOT to exclude them but to allow them to do the full MS at the end of their career, say up to 36 years old.
 
Shame he isnt coming. His look would scare a few but I don't think that we would sell many photos !
Fairy sure there is truth to it, that he is coming. I heard the numbers line up on nearly everything, it's mostly about if we want two or one young Centre-back. There was talk an older CB in top level playing terms Dias, was Jose choice. However he is too expensive and it's now Kabak or this Korean lad. Foyth is going to Leeds.

We need 2, not convinced by Dier as a regular.
