sometimes, I wish I were a girl. why? so that I wouldn't have to surf on the web all day trying to figure out if I have to go to the STUPID ASS MILITARY if I were to move back to Korea.
I dug through my files to search for my certificate of citizenship (yes I'm a US citizen). It turns out that I actually received my citizenship before I was 18, BUT, according to the changed Korean law, that may or may not matter. Actually, I'm gonna stop writing because I have no idea what I'm talking about. After an entire day of searching and digging through resources, I still don't know jack.
and for those of you who are wondering, yes, there was a case of a person with American citizenship being sent off to the Korean army. He was born in America.

here's how my grandpa sees it:
ReplyDeletes. kra's so small. SO small. what, like smaller than CA? anyway. it's so small that it can't afford not to take in every single man who lives there. otherwise, nobody'd join (cus who wants to....) and kim jong il would easily take over.
isn't that smart? why didnt i think of that?
but i agree phred, please don't join the military =(
haha i totally understand why korean males need to go to the military but it's incredible how they're willing to force non-korean citizens to join the military when they disallow dual-citizenship. That's a double standard.
ReplyDeletebut yeah, I'd hate to go to the army stephen T.T
