ROK Military to Have 5% of Its Force Come From Multicultural Backgrounds by 2030
The make up of the ROK military will look a little different by 2030:
The number of soldiers coming from a multicultural background will account for 5 percent of the nation’s entire conscripts by 2030 after a notable increase since the 2009 amendment to the Military Service Act, which mandates military service for all Korean nationals, according to the report released by the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, Monday.
The report suggested that a growing number of conscripts from multicultural households could become a crucial resource in sustaining the military, helping address potential conscript shortages stemming from the country’s low birthrate. It raised the need for the military to establish and implement management and support policies tailored to multicultural soldiers.

What is a multi-cultural soldier?!?! If he/she is in the ROK Army he/she better be a Korean. Who cares about their ethnic background.
That means “half-breed”… You can read the contempt through the words.
The way to stop being racist is to stop talking about races.
“It raised the need for the military to establish and implement management and support policies tailored to multicultural soldiers.”
No it doesnt.
It means the “multicultural” soldiers will need to be Korea soldiers.
You may never face this delimma personally, but take my advice.
Másturbating farmers are better than multiculturalism.
That goes double if it is an inferior culture.
In this case, saying that multiculturalism will save the Korean military is madness.
This is not a problem to solve. It is a situation to manage.
Encouraging semi-Koreans with divided loyalty and an escape route if they are needed is not the answer.
Transforming the military into a high-tech operation with a smaller patriotic and nationalist professional staff is the way to go.
ProTip: When anyone or anything starts yapping about more babies, consider they are stupid. When they start pushing multiculturalism, they are saboteurs.
Consider carrying around a sharpened screwdriver to do your civic duty to protect Korea.

Setnaffa.
That is something you should practice.
The ROK is getting desperate. They’re snagging USFK dependents at the airport based on an eye test. My son was refused a SOFA visa because his mother is a Korean citizen. I went back a few months later by myself to the Osan Airbase immigration office and got a SOFA visa for him because I’m not asian.
He will also have to either perform his mandatory military service or relinquish his Korean citizenship before March 31st of the year of his 17th birthday.
Bob, Dual Citizenship has responsibilities. We don’t have to like them. In fact, I don’t believe Americans should be allowed to be citizens of another nation; but that’s based on a speech from 1912:
