[NEWS] Controversy over JYJ’s health check-up in their mid-twenties for military service
JYJ, who got a physical check up in their mid-twenties, is drawing attention recently.
There was growing controversy over JYJ, since they delayed their physical check-up for 5 years when it is required to get a physical check up at 19 years old.
However, recording to Seoul Military Manpower Administration, JYJ delayed their check up for a valid reason.
On the 16th, military administration said, “The sayings about ‘entertainer favors’ is nonsense. They delayed their physical check up because of they often leaved the country since when they were 19 years old.”
He added, “If one stays in the country for more than 60 days, you get a notification for the physical check up. As far as I know, JYJ didn’t satisfy this rule.” (Translators note: He means JYJ never stayed more than 60 days in Korea since they were 19 years old.)
JYJ got their physical check up on the 14th. However, they announced they don’t have a plan to join the army this year.

[INFO] About The Health check-up for military service in Korea
All of the Korean male has the obligation to serve in the military. Generally they get the notice for health check-up for military service when they become 19~20 years old. And then they take the check-up. So our boys took it very late. Anyway they were classified 5-grade by their health conditions. The men who were given 1~3rd grade will become the soldier in active service. And the men who were given 4th grade will become public service workers. The men who were given 5th grade will be exempted, Men who were given 5th grade are generally disabled or patients to have troubles in their daily life. But our boys can’t be the man who is exempted.
They’ll have to receive a basic miltary training for 4~6 weeks although they got the exemption. It is the the obligation of the Korean men.
And I can’t predict when they enter the service. But what is not in doubt is the fact that they have to enter the service within 2~4 years by the military service law.
On average, normal Korean men enter the service at the Korean age 21~24. But entertainers are a little bit different to normal people. They enter it pretty late. But they won’t go there too late. Because they have the trouble adjusting to adapt to there if they enter there too late.
So nowadays, other singers or actors enter the service at the Korean age of 28~30. Many Korean artists did.. For example.. Cho In Sung, Kang Dong Won, Lee Jun Ki, so on.. and Hyun Bin will enter the service as a Marine.
