sorry MC Mong, you can't enlist, you're old

Singer and TV personality MC Mong, who had been cleared of military service law violation charges, will not be able to join the army due to an upper age limit despite his wish to do so.

The Ministry of Government Legislation looked into the 32-year-old entertainer’s case Tuesday and concluded that he can’t be conscripted.

MC Mong was earlier given a suspended jail term for obstructing public servants’ operations by applying for state exams in an attempt to dodge conscription. But he was acquitted of charges that he intentionally had healthy teeth extracted to avoid mandatory service due to a lack of evidence.

The ministry said even if a man who was not subject to conscription due to illness cures the disease and wants to get conscripted as a soldier on active duty, he can’t be recruited when he is over 31 years old, the age limit for the military service obligation for men.

The age limit rises to 36 for those who are caught dodging conscription or who have other problems being conscripted at the given age limit of 31.

“The duty for military service is a constitutional one, not a right. Under the conscription system, a person has the obligation according to the procedure and criteria set by the law regardless of his intention. He doesn’t have the right to choose whether to be enlisted or not,” an official of the ministry said.

After being cleared of the military law violation in April, MC Mong said in a press briefing that he would fulfill his duty if there is a legal way to do so.

I still can't imagine being /forced/ in to the military.

What a horrible thing...

[oldwillow-brook.livejournal.com]

To be honest a LOT of countries have mandatory enlistment now but even more so in previous years. It's a way to show patriotism and a way to "become a man" in the eyes of the country and it's people.

I like him.

[bolingi-aii.livejournal.com]

I still jam to "I love you, Oh thank you"

Now that that's all sorted, record new music and get Dalmatian's CD done too. Plzkthx.

[inati.livejournal.com]

this sfm.

[oldwillow-brook.livejournal.com]

I'm curious if he doesn't do military service won't his name be tainted even more so because he essentially ~got out of it~?

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

I always hear stories of some Korean star who hit someone with a car and tried to hide the body but still got away with it.
Apparently another got away with a hit and run and was still a ~national treasure~ so I don't think Mong's tarnished name will last forever.

I never found out who they were :/

So....

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Does this mean we get an 'Indian Boy' part 2?

[frightenedbunny.livejournal.com]

lolwow. all that shit he went through, just to realize he's too old

[purring-feline.livejournal.com]

k.
good for you MCMong.

Dalmatian plz!

[wish-u-were-moi.livejournal.com]

YES

[hajar-a.livejournal.com]

He just lost every thing ,especially the public respect .
anyway he went into hardship the past months ,
if he ever got back into industry , I wish him the best of luck

[cartofkun.livejournal.com]

lol irony.
or is it? :T

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

Personally I'm pleased for him, he didn't want to go in the first place. Now if only he'd share his secrets with the 83line...that way they won't have to go, and I would have more than 7. ):

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

*sighs* not that they'd go for it...and I guess that they've always been prepared for this, since it's compulsory and all, still wish it at least wasn't so long...

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

flawless userpic

[annhh.livejournal.com]

ouch... SK-people seem to be really sick of him.

I think this case is similar to Song SeungHeon's but he's so effin hot and doesn't annoy anyone, which means people forget more easily

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

what did he do? D:

[wish-u-were-moi.livejournal.com]

he's not slick
