While the controversy over 'military exemption' remarks by some players of the men's national soccer team, who won gold medals at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, continues to subside, politicians and the Ministry of National Defense are even calling for the abolition of military service exemptions. However, even if the ,,, system changes, this player will still receive benefits up to this year, and the harm may be passed on to the next generation,,, Starting with this Asian Games, abolishing the system is not a simple matter. Players who completed the tournament were included in the military service benefits under the existing system, and some players who were already serving in the military have also gone through discharge procedures. Therefore, after the tournament, changing the military service exemption standards and retroactively applying them to this athlete is said to be realistically difficult, but even if the system is abolished, the existing benefits will likely remain until this tournament, and the new standards will likely be applied from the next tournament onward. In the end, the parties involved in the controversy will reap the benefits of the existing system, while the damage caused by the changes will be borne by the next generation.
