A South Korean man has been convicted of gaining weight on purpose to avoid serving in the military, The Korea Herald reported on Sunday (Nov 24). The 26-year-old was sentenced to a year in prison, suspended for two years, under the Military Service Act. He reportedly doubled his daily food
How is that conviction even remotely legal? He just ate a lot.
I imagine that trying to avoid military service is illegal and that he carelessly told people why he was eating a lot.
