South Korea considers ending military service exemption for athletes after Asian Games controversy

South Korea is reviewing its policy of exempting champion athletes from mandatory military service, following a controversy at the recent Asian Games.

The move comes after several high-profile athletes, including Olympic gold medalists, were found to have violated rules during the games.

The military service exemption has been a contentious issue in South Korea, where all able-bodied men are required to serve for around two years.

If the policy is changed, it could significantly impact South Korean athletes and their careers.
