In 2004 when Mandatory Military was established in South Korea, a man over 18 years of age had to serve a 24 month service when they were asked to. The government of South Korea is now in the midst of shortening this term to 18 months to increase its country's labor pool because the country's population is drastically shrinking. Well many men and women have left the country to start a family some place else partially because of this problem. They do not want the next generation of boys to have to go to the military at such a young age, when the world is getting more and more demanding jobs and labor.

People are fleeing
Because of conscription (mandatory military) families are literally fleeing the country of South Korea. Some made it to North Korea only to be taken into prison and many others have made it to China and very many even made it to the United States which is very surprising. All to avoid the mandatory military forced on their young sons.
