Sad he has to go but the military just can't miss out on someone with his target-firing skills
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

if byun is doing civil service, he can still play sc2 - just can't make any public appearances/make money off it

According to Wikipedia the military service in South Korea is a minimum of 18 months, so Byun would be back in June/July 2020?

I hope this is a good enough reason to bump...but based on an 18 month period he should be finished with his military service at the end of this month right??

I think he should finish earlier than the supposed 18 month period because I heard there was a new military protocol that allowed any recruited soldier to finish their vacation days earlier without a need to go back serving once again.

Nope, still not done yet. As of today he's done 92 percent IF he went to either the police or ground army. If he went to the navy, then 84 percent, if he went to the airforce then he's just cracked 80. Pretty likely he went to the ground forces though, people probably would have mentioned if he went to something else.

There is protocol due to covid 19 where you can use your vacation days so to speak to shorten your service, but I doubt with how strict the military has been recently on shortening them that Byun has like 45 days worth of vacation left to use.

Thank you for clarifying. Based on what you know, can you make an educated guess on the approximate date of his return to civil life? I don't think I'm the only one eagerly waiting for his (hopefully) return to competitive play.

Ditto on the clarity and thank you!

I'm curious, do the different forces in the SK military (ground, air, navy..) have separately colored berets? I remember ByuN posted a pic of him in his uniform (seems to have deleted it though), but could you tell from that? In my country the beret-colors are a major recognition point when it comes to where you serve.

I should have said this clearer, my bad.
As of today, Byun has 45 days til discharge day IF he went to ground forces/police.
If he went to the navy then 102 days,
If he went to the airforce then 130.

Nice question, hard to answer too.
Short answer is that there aren't different colored berets.
The difference between ground and air forces is just the color they use for their rank. Ground are black, Airforce are blue. So their uniforms for everyday work are identical except the rank stripe color.
Navy has a totally different uniform, hard to mistake with airforce or ground army. They wear white-blue stuff with no beret, instead using a kind of sailors cap.

Again, it's probably more likely than anything Byun just went to the ground forces. Regardless of where he went, he's almost done anyway.

Anyone know if Byun’s been laddering away at any point?

I’d love to see him back as I missed his triumphs when on a long hiatus from SC2, that said has he gave any indication he would even want to come back after service? He hit such high highs before going, might want to go out on that high perhaps.

Oh that's super interesting! Seems like the coloring is basically the same, but they just have the military rank colors instead of berets/unit backgrounds. Thanks for answering!
