Jung Joon Young's military exemption comes to light

Jung Joon Young

Jung Joon Young's exemption from South Korea's mandatory military service has come to light once again.  


The singer, who was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and who frequently moved around the world since he was young, fails to qualify to serve in the military due to the fact that the military cannot acknowledge his educational history from multiple countries. Technically, because he has history of graduating from elementary school in Korea, his Korean educational record regards him as an elementary graduate.

Jung Joon Young has spoken up about his disqualification several times, including during his 'Superstar K' days, as well as during shows and interviews. Unless he decides to take and pass his GED, he will remain exempt from mandatory military service.
