Kim Jong-chul, the head of the Military Manpower Administration, said in a parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's National Defense Committee today that a good example is to deal with the Minjoo Party's deputy Seung-chan's question that measures are needed to avoid military service by intentionally acquiring nationality.

Commissioner Kim said, "There are many exemptions from military service through nationality acquisition, but I think it is necessary to strengthen it because it does not specify follow-up disadvantages."

Singer Steve Seung-joon, who worked in Korea under the name of Yoo Seung-joon, lost his Korean citizenship after leaving the country for performance purposes in January 2002, while receiving a notice of public service workers, and the Ministry of Justice restricted Yoo's entry.

Commissioner Kim also said, "I don't think it's reasonable that BTS member Suga, who was caught by the police while driving an electric scooter while serving as a social service worker, wasn't disciplined, but the law stipulates it."

Suga was caught drunk driving on August 6, but he was not disciplined because it happened outside of work hours.
