Thank god they won the medal.
You got it partially right. In South Korea, it's mandatory to serve in the military. But you just gotta do your 2 years before age 30 and you're done. When Choo was due to go, I guess they had the Asian Games going and since he took South Korea all the way, the government made him exempt.
