They let some conscripts (who were already famous gamers in Korea) set up a Starcraft team in the military, maybe they'll do the same for an actual sport.

Korean draft laws seem to get people for around 24-26 months. His service will most likely not be for 3 years. Korean draft laws seem to get people for around 24-26 months.

I mean, the 7'4" behemoth would be the first to get shot in a fire fight. The Korean government will now pay him to copy papers instead and forgo the potential tax income from his fighting career. Government is a wonderful thing. It makes sense that Choi wouldn’t be a soldier. I mean, the 7′4″ behemoth would be the first to get shot in a fire fight.

And yes, a draft = slavery. When you take someone's freedom of choice away, you're enslaving them. And even though I'm sure there are worse places to live than South Korea, having your career and dreams taken away - at least temporarily - is quite demoralizing.

Can you imagine how much attention Choi will have just walking around and giving tickets? Maybe his presence will invigorate the new generation of soldiers...

Maybe his presence will invigorate the new generation of soldiers…

Ofcourse Swedish people wouldn't know what that is :/ On topic, copying papers for 3years sounds like alot of fun.
