$150 per months?

it was $20 till 2003.


I do not know the cost of life in Korea. Is it ridiculusly low ? Or acceptable ? Or good ? What do they have to pay when they're in the army ?


Seoul`s cost of living is #3 in asia. even higher than that of Tokyo. [This is insane, dayum!]

You do not have to pay anything in the army, expect canteen.

Did i get that right ?

Check "Compensation" subheading.

Poor MMA


But living costs and food etc is included, so the compensation is quite good actually?

It depends where you live and what you do for the living. It's probably ok for S. Koreans.

Not at all. even an employee of a convenient store gets $1200 for working 8 hours a day, which means $6-7 per hour.

And soldiers get 75 cents per hour for working 10-14 hours.

If it was OK we wouldn't complain. Common sense.
Other than that, living quarters, food are crap. Try sleeping like a sardine with other guys snoring and drooling all over you

Come on MMA, we all know the reason your knee hurts is because you took an arrow in the knee. And that's why you retired from being a glorious eSports adventurer.
