Following political circles, the Ministry of National Defense has officially stated its stance on considering a comprehensive reform of the arts and sports personnel system in response to controversies over military service benefits for athletes who won gold medals at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. On the 6th, Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Jeong Bit-na stated, "We plan to incorporate measures to reduce and abolish supplementary service personnel, including arts and sports personnel, into the basic defense reform plan." This measure is a decision that comprehensively considers the recent issue of fairness and fairness among those subject to military service, as well as the sharp decline in military service resources and the public's consensus on the system. In particular, Spokesperson Jeong emphasized that the Ministry of National Defense deeply regrets the recent inappropriate remarks and actions of some figures in the sports world, saying, "From the perspective of the Ministry of National Defense , I think so," and emphasized, "Military service obligations are sacred duties that all members of our society must respect and consider as noble together." He continued, "We can cherish the value of military service obligations and be respected by all citizens, I sincerely hope that such a social culture will take root," he added. Experts diagnose that although the national status has risen compared to the past, the military service exemption system still remains focused on enhancing national prestige, failing to gain public consensus. Moreover, it is only applied in certain fields, fueling controversy especially among young people sensitive to 'fairness.' If the Ministry of National Defense pushes this forward,,, it will be a definite conclusion!! Wearing a discharge cap and making a fuss has touched the 'reverse barrier' of the 20s and 30s!!  But even if we push for this, it will take time, so will the AG gold medalists benefit from this, and the next generation won't get it??????
