Wow, I guess even if you get a conscription letter you still can delay for some period of time. I guess yyou can't tell us yet how long that would be.

Can he travel or not? I believe I heard that close to conscription you can't.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I knew MC was ready to throw off the shackles and go full-out-beast-mode! Maybe he used his Presidential negotiating skills to weasel his way out of his service for a good long while!

Lame in the sense it was more a publicity stunt than an actual problem he had to deal with I guess?
I mean, normally its supposed to be a serious affair, one that you give a lot of thought about, but MC kinda made a show out of it and just bypassed the whole serious bit, so maybe thats why.

Only the Boss Toss can decide whether to go military or not.
Only the Boss Toss can even unite North Korea and South Korea.

i guess. seems like his own business though. im from a part of the world where conscription is considered an embarrassing mistake from the past so maybe my perspective is culturally different

Eh, it's not a big deal. He has a pretty popular (and entertaining!) webseries going with SpoTV about his post-LoL caster life, and it was a good hook for an episode. I think teasing the community like that is pretty meh, but everything turned out okay at the end of the day, so no harm done.

Nice to hear that !
I wish Korean programers could avoid that military service, that is insane how many carriers they break with that.
And that is not only for programers.
North and South Korea should settle a conflict with Starcraft 2 games instead of stupid war !

Based on what I've read, Koreans can postpone their military service until they're 30 years old. If they live outside Korea, then maybe until they're 35 years old. I wonder if that means that MC can play up to June which is when he has birthday.
