Why put that he completed his "military service" in the first line when the quote clearly states that he did one of the civic service options instead? It's inaccurate. It should say compulsory service or something instead. Not everyone in Korea serves in the military, some do time as police or doing other civil services instead and others are completely exempt for medical reasons. The civic service options are for longer periods of time than the army, so most choose the army.

But in the end, doing social service or be in the army are both branches of what's so called mandatory military service, so nothing's wrong over here.
