Seo In Guk is among the few Korean actors who couldn’t serve their country, but his story is a bit more complicated than others.

Seo In Guk actually enlisted into the military but he was excused just four days after getting in. He was scheduled for a medical re-examination to determine whether he can serve at all or not after leaving.

As a result, it was later announced that he’s been exempted from the national service because he was given a grade 5 in physical examination due to his illness, the actor-singer has osteochondritis.

Osteochondritis causes bones under the cartilage to disappear because of necroses. This illness is commonly caused by injury to the ankles such as sprains gained during exercise.

The major symptoms of this illness includes swelling, pain and it usually results in a sound that the joints make as someone goes up and down stairs, the patient also feels pain even when not moving much. About 70% of young men in their 10s to 30s suffer from osteochondritis including soccer players and baseball players as well.

Sadly, this didn’t go over well with some backlash from the public. Despite his health status, he had to endure backlash from netizens who brought into question why he was exempt. Added to that, one media outlet claimed that he knew of his condition but refused to treat it before the enlistment and this was how he managed to be exempt from the military.

Military service is a very sensitive topic in South Korea and because he was exempt, netizens reactions to him became cold.

Since then Seo In Guk denied the report, explained his side of the story and apologized to the public.

Seo In Guk ended up formally apologizing again during “The Smile Has Left Your Eyes” press conference, he bowed 90° in apology for the controversy.
