A 26-year-old man was found guilty of evading national service after he was found to have deliberately gained weight to avoid serving in the military.

Seoul Eastern Dongbu District Court recently sentenced the defendant to one year in prison, suspended for two years, for violating the Military Service Act. The act stipulates that those who evade their mandatary military service without justifiable cause can be punished by up to three years in prison.

The defendant deliberately gained weight by doubling his daily food intake and consuming a large amount of water just before the physical examination for the military draft. He followed a regimen cooked up by a friend of his, who encouraged him by providing specific plans to gain weight.

and

The defendant was assessed at grade 2 in his initial physical exam in October 2017, the second-highest grade, which would qualify him to serve in a combat role.

But he got grade 4 when he weighed in at 102.3 kilograms in the final physical exam in June of 2023. At 169 centimeters tall, he had a body mass index of 35.8, making him heavily obese.

This allowed him to serve in a non-combat role at a government agency while commuting from home.
