So the enlistment news is currently a hot topic on theqoo.
I was not gonna translate anything since it's mostly Carats and random people wishing them well, but of course the usual weirdos had to spawn in the replies. Thankfully, Korean Carats were ready to drag them immediately.
Here are the top delusional comments and the iconic replies:
1. The "Why public service?" crowd
* Anti: "Half of the members going are doing public service? Celebrities really are something..."
* Carat: "If you have a problem, go cry to the Ministry of Defense. What is barking in the comment section gonna change?"
* Carat: "Getting assigned to public service is insanely hard these days. If they got public service, just think about how wrecked their bodies actually are before typing."
2. The "Isn't it unfair to normal 20yo recruits?" take
* Anti: "Normal guys in their early 20s go to active duty even when they’re struggling..."
* Carat: "Do you seriously think a 30-year-old idol who spent their ENTIRE 20s grinding their joints and cartilage on stage has the same body as a fresh 20-year-old? Please use your brain."
3. The conspiracy theorists
* Anti: "Did HYBE bribe the military or what?"
* Carat: "Seungkwan literally had surgery after rupturing his Achilles tendon and he's still going to ACTIVE DUTY. If a member got public service despite that, imagine how bad their actual health is. Are you insane?"
Bonus clapback that killed me:
"The way these losers creep into every single SEVENTEEN article just to drop hate... they are truly obsessed with them."
Anyway, praying for all 13 to stay healthy ✨💐

he’s been struggling with back pain but knowing it got this bad to the point of a disc rupture… he must’ve been in so much pain, yet kept performing with the brightest smile and professionalism 🥹😭 we really don’t deserve him
Since this person blocked me, let’s talk about the 4 members because why not? 💀
Let’s assume for a second that all 4 members who did, are doing, or will do alternative service miraculously got healed so well just a day before enlistment that they could literally join the Navy SEALs. Oh, and let's throw Scoups in there too let’s pretend his ACL miraculously healed 100% too.
Or let’s pretend people got so mad they protested until the government took notice.
Would any of that change a single thing?
No.
Here is why:
The MMA Evaluates the Permanent Medical Record, Not "Current Feats"
The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) evaluates candidates based on verified medical history, surgical records, chronic damage, and official scans (MRI/CT).
A person feeling better today or performing on stage does not erase years of documented spinal damage or reconstructed ligaments in state medical files.
Re-examinations Don't Work on Fan Protests
You cannot "protest" someone into active duty. Draft classifications are strictly governed by the Military Service Act. Once a state medical board assigns a Grade 4 or Grade 5 based on statutory criteria, that classification stands unless the candidate themselves officially petitions for a re-evaluation with new medical proof.
Exemptions & Alternative Service Are Legal Rights, Not "Cheating"
The system is built specifically so that citizens with severe physical injuries aren't forced into combat training that could permanently cripple them. S.Coups’ complete exemption (Grade 5) and members’ Grade 4 assignments were issued directly by state military doctors following legal protocols.
So even in this fantasy scenario where everyone magically heals overnight, the South Korean legal system doesn't retroactively rewrite medical history based on internet outrage. They follow the law maybe try reading it sometime!
seungkwan be honest with us, you knew they were going to post a enlistment notice this morning that's why since yesterday you gave us a lot of updates and also live...
