Guy's like 'wow I can actually skip military service' and dips to the States, then gets hit with that existential dread lmaooo
Just revoke his Korean citizenship like they did with Steve Yoo, problem solved?
I wouldn't come back either lol what a shitty country, and he's got US citizenship too
Bet that was the plan all along lmaooo he probably went thinking 'let me experience Korean military as a Korean' then was like nah 'let me bounce' lol either way he's not coming back so whatever lmaooo
But if he shows up later isn't he basically a criminal now lmaooooo even after 38 or 39 years?
Plus he's military personnel so military court lmaooo
Just do what they did with Steve Yoo—freeze his assets and grab him at the airport when he inevitably comes back. No point wasting effort.
Brought in as the country's son, injured he's your son, dies and suddenly nobody knows who he is?
All that half-baked patriotism trying out Korean military and now he got that reality check.
Can't find him anywhere (probably scratching his balls watching Netflix at his US house)
Just stay American lol why even enlist if you're not gonna enlist properly
At least he went through with enlisting... he must've had big conviction coming here but had a hard time adjusting to base life. Coming back after living overseas is probably rough on him. I think it's actually pretty sad.
A whole year? 😳 That's either the best escape plan ever or the worst timing of his life, honestly.
Could've just renounced his Korean citizenship but now he's screwed for life lmaooo
Doesn't he have to renounce his US citizenship when enlisting? Now he's stateless lol
nah this is actually insane, south korea's dmz is literally one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. how does someone even pull that off
respect the commitment to peace but also... dude really said 'i'm out' and meant it lmao
This is wild but also makes you think about what conditions must be like for someone to risk everything like that. hope he's safe wherever he is
