I guess they are kinder to criminals than people who are unwell

That's disgusting. I usually don't wish people bad things but I hope that karma will get him

I don’t think it has anything to do with kindness, it’s just different regulations for different situations.

Them not allowing people with mental health issues to discharge or at least switch to public service is still tragic.

Ew can we put him back in jail

Are you really surprised? The law has always protected offenders far more than it protects victims.

Im not surprised that he got abit over the year in jail time, I surprised that they allowed him to combo his time with enlistment . The 2 for 1 deal gets me

Isn't that why he enlisted prior to any charges begin laid. So they would have to be laid in military court and he would get a lighter sentence.

They allow them to switch but they slap them with an extra 6 month

Comparatively they do have kinder regulations toward criminals than people with mental health problems

I personally don’t think “kinder” is the right word in that context knowing Koreans sentiment towards military service.

Not serving because you were in prison is not seen as “easier” it’s considered a disgrace in Korea. First you didn’t properly serve and secondly you are a criminal. That’s the double combo disgrace.

That takes the concept of kicking people when they're down to a whole 'nother level.

I forgot to answer that. They don’t ad 6 more extra months if you switch. Public service was always 2 years. They only reduced the months for active duty as it’s the hardest one with barely any free time. Before it was also 2 years.

Yo thats honestly so fucked up. So. Fucked. Up.

Is military the same thing as jail???

All men in korea are going to be able to use their military time as jail time???

Like this level of government favoritism for celebrities is so disgusting and dangerous, i dont personally think that compulsory military time is…. Necessary…. BUT telling BTS they DONT HAVE TO enlist, but telling others who go overseas that they cant return for DECADES??? Their military is SOMEHOW more corrupt than ours in america. Like this is OBSCENE

He enlisted on March 2020 and was supposed to be discharged on September 2021. But since he was imprisoned on August 2021 his discharge was delayed until June 2022 when he was transferred to a civilian prison to finish his sentence.

I don't think he skipped any jail time. He only spent 1 fewer month in active service (+ 9 extra months imprisoned).
