[스포츠니어스 | 김현회 기자] Let’s write a novel. Ten years later, a man in his 40s apologizes through YouTube with a sad expression against a black background. “At that time, I was frivolous. If I could go back to that time, I would like to admit all my mistakes and go to the military. I am Korean and I love Korea. I made a really wrong choice back then.” If Hyun-jun Seok, who is now, stays abroad like this, these things will happen in about 10 years.
A player who has even the national team violates the Military Service Act.
Seok Hyun-jun is currently being charged with evading military service. To summarize the complex provisions of the law in a very simple way, Seok Hyun-jun has filed a lawsuit requesting more stay abroad since 2018, but continued to lose the lawsuit for three years. In December of last year, the Military Manpower Administration released a list of 256 evaders of 2019 military service obligations, including Seok Hyun-jun, and the Military Manpower Administration decided to take criminal charges when Seok Hyun-jun returns to Korea. Upon entering Korea, Seok Hyun-jun must be punished for violating the Military Service Act immediately.
Seok Hyun-joon’s parents prepared for immigration in 2013 and obtained permanent residence in Hungary in 2017. However, Seok Hyun-jun does not have permanent residence in Hungary. Seok Hyun-joon argued that if his parents immigrated, he could be subject to an extension of the overseas travel permit, and said he could legally delay the enlistment until the age of 35, but this was not accepted in an administrative lawsuit. Since Seok Hyun-jun stayed in Hungary for a year or so, Hungarian permanent residency is of no use in postponing military service. To postpone military service with permanent residency, you must live in the country for at least 3 years.
Seok Hyun-jun must now return to Korea to be judged by the law and fulfill his military service. Unfortunately, being a soccer player cannot be free from this problem of military service. He had many opportunities for military service so far, but in the end he missed all of those benefits himself. In addition, even in the favorable situation where he could return to the K-League at any time and solve the military service by going to the Armed Forces Sports Unit if he could only digest half a season, he did not even put this into action. It is a pity that a player who wears the Taegeuk mark as a national team and played in the national team is subject to punishment immediately if he returns to Korea for not fulfilling his duties.
Seok Hyun-jun with his mouth shut, I can’t be irresponsible like this
Seok Hyun-jun has not made an official position so far. It is not unreasonable to say that this is irresponsible. Although the domestic media reports on the results of the administrative lawsuits and reports on the results of the administrative lawsuit, Seok Hyun-jun has never appeared on the issue in relation to this issue. He is not saying anything about military service. After actively communicating with fans through social media, he has stopped even this activity after the military service problem, and is continuing a similar move. I am very disappointed that Seok Hyun-jun, whom I have believed, is such an irresponsible player.
Since forced repatriation is not possible under the current law, in order for Seok Hyun-jun to be judged by the law and perform military service, his voluntary return to Korea must be preceded. If Seok Hyun-joon stands abroad, there is no way to punish him. However, this is the worst choice for Seok Hyun-jun. As mentioned at the outset, if Seok Hyun-joon stays overseas and avoids the issue of military service, he will have no choice but to regret one day. No, Hyun-Jun Seok’s actions now are very wrong, making it doubtful whether he is acting like this, pretending to repent in the future and apologizing to the public. If not, you cannot cover your ears like this.
I want Seok Hyun-jun to look far away. When I meet many footballers in the soccer world, there are many cases where it is not so important in my life to have one or two more years of player life. Right now, you might think that you want to play more as a player and have a lot to show, but there were many who said that it was nothing when you look back on that one or two more seasons in life as a footballer. From the time he made his professional debut, I interviewed him, and the player grew up to become a star, and then he went through the process of becoming a leader after he retired.
Are you confident to travel through Europe your entire life?
Unfortunately, it seems difficult for Seok Hyun-jun to continue his active life longer. It is already over the age of enlisting in the senior management, and even after returning to the K-League, if you spend two years playing as a social service agent in the lower league, you will have to go to retirement at a not small age. In Europe, he was unable to secure a position, and he was fighting several teams. Recently, he suffered an injury that required him to rest for another two months. Meanwhile, Suk Hyun-jun’s current team, France League 2 Trois AC, hired a striker to replace Seok Hyun-jun. Seok Hyun-jun’s position is getting narrower and his chances to stand in Europe are diminishing.
Seok Hyun-jun cannot live without ignoring his hometown. Living in Europe is now satisfactory, and no matter how much you curse yourself in Korea, you might think that if you don’t return to Korea, it’s okay. However, he learned soccer in Korea and all his friends and colleagues live in Korea. It is not a second generation Korean-American, but a pure Korean who was born in Korea and left to challenge abroad while playing soccer in Korea. It is unfortunate even when a third party sees that all the loved ones are in Korea, and that they spend their whole lives abroad as fugitives by violating the military service law. Even if he gives up his active duty, he must return when he can be forgiven even a little. Why don’t you have to go to’Yeondon’ in Jeju Island with your children and try’E-buksik Hand Mandu Gukbap’ in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
If Seok Hyun-joon persists like this, he will not be able to go to the military as he wants. However, in the near future, we have no choice but to ask for forgiveness by pretending to regret or regret. That’s because it was always the end of those who left the country without performing military service. Later, Seok Hyun-jun appeared on YouTube, dressed in a suit in front of a black background, and said, “At that time, I was frivolous. If I could go back to that time, I would like to admit all my mistakes and go to the military. I am Korean and I love Korea. If you say, “I made a really wrong choice at that time”, then it’s really late. It looks like the future is not far away from anyone’s eyes, but I hope you make a wise choice even now.
In the end, he’s a soccer player that should be with Korean
He is a footballer who must be with football for his life even if he quits the player. Seok Hyun-joon, who has not felt that he is a’parent team’ while wandering abroad, will eventually return to Korean soccer. Shouldn’t we be able to coach and supervise in Korea only when we complete the military service problem? That way, you will have a cup of soju and share memories with those you really love in Korea. If you don’t have the confidence to live your entire life in Europe, why don’t you come back now and receive the penalty for your sins and ask for forgiveness as soon as possible. I am really worried about his future. Ten years later, if the mockery of’Puscas Suk’ grows out of control and then apologizes, then it is late. I want to avoid anything now, but now Seok Hyun-jun has to be courageous.
