According to the current Military service, the winner of the Olympic Game 3 or more Asian Game 1 International Arts Competition 2 or more Domestic Arts Competition 1 winner will be transferred to the public service personnel.

According to the Military Manpower Administration on March 3, 42 athletes, including Son Heung-min of soccer and Oh Ji-hwan of baseball, won the gold medal in the Asian Game.

They enter the military training center and receive basic military training for four weeks. After 34 months, they serve as substitutes for their special arts and sports personnel.

However, except for some events, there is a growing public opinion that Asian Game should revise the special Military service system because the level of countries that deal with Korea is significantly lower and does not meet equity.

In particular, in the case of baseball events, Korea has only pointed out that it is "sociological level" of the countries that Korea has faced, and among them, Oh Ji-hwan (LG Twins) and Park Hae-min (Samsung Lions) have been criticized for their efforts to benefit from Military service.

They were not able to show any clear performance during the tournament.

In the field of physical education, it is pointed out that it is inappropriate to give Military service only once in the international competition, and it is pointed out that it is a problem to exclude popular art in addition to pure art in the field of art.

In particular, the seven-member boy idol group 'BTS', which has a considerable presence both in Korea and abroad, has no way to receive Military service benefits.

BTS recently became the second-largest album on the Billboard 200 album chart with the album 'Answer', LOVE YOURSELF. BTS first came on the Billboard 200 as 'Tear', the third in the LOVE YOURSELF series on May 27th.

The Billboard chart is considered to be the most reputable chart in the world's popular music industry, with the Billboard 100 evaluating singles and the Billboard 200 evaluating albums.

Some argue that BTS should also be subject to special Military service because it can be seen as a promotion of the national government.

Amid the controversy, Ki Chan-soo, director of the Military Manpower Administration, said in a telephone conversation with the media this morning, "We plan to review the special cases of physical education and arts Military service as a whole." It was read as the intention to reconsider the equity of each field and to prepare improvement plans.

When the chief's remarks were reported, similar types of related articles poured out and the ripple power grew.

The Ministry of National Defense explained, "We are not currently reviewing the arts and sports personnel system as a basic position of the Military Manpower Administration related to the equality of Military service obligations."

The main point is that although we agree with the public opinion that is rising, there is no plan to start the process of changing the regulations by preparing an improvement plan immediately.

Some say that the Korea Sports Council and the Military Manpower Administration have decided to seek improvements in the system, such as the introduction of the so-called 'mileage system' in relation to the Military service, but it seems difficult to start immediately.

"We need to improve the system so that the public can sympathize with the system that is a problem recently, but it takes a long time to change the system immediately," said a Military Manpower Administration official. "It is not easy right now, "He said.

Military Manpower Administration, review and then distribute clarification "It is not a review right away, but we will gather opinions in the future."
