ROK Military Deciding on What to Do with Soldier Who Had Gender Reassignment Surgery
It will be interesting to see what the ROK military does with this case:
Will South Korea accept a transgender person in the military?
Korea Times
The Army is examining a “keep or drop” case involving a petty officer who underwent sex-change surgery in Thailand last year while on leave.
The officer ― who is also seeking to change his legal gender to “female” ― is recuperating from the surgery, hoping to stay in the military.
The Army is planning to hold a meeting next week to decide on the case. If the decision is to keep “him,” he will become the first transgender person in uniform. This could have a far-reaching impact on a society facing heated conflicts over LGBT and gender-based discrimination.

What they should do is, unless the dude had permission from his CO, give him a dishonorable discharge.
But, under Moon, they may decide to make him an Admiral and assign him to Korea-Japan relations.
Petty officer – Army?? “The Army is planning…”

Although this no doubt is a mistake, when speaking in Korean, the ROK military uses the same ranks for all of its service. So for example, a ROK Army Major named Kim is called Kim so-ryung; and a ROK Navy Lt Cmdr named Kim is also called Kim so-ryung (so-ryung is the Korean word for O-4).
