the idea that mino will be getting double of seungris jail sentence & the same amount as taeil just for skipping military (mino was already exempt from military but chose to sign up for a role anywyas)

Mino lost his father before military service began and had struggled with bipolar and anxiety. No it’s not an excuse, but I think these things went untreated or not seriously attended to like they should have. I think that may have been why he “skipped”. I just think he wasn’tβ¦

Basically in Korea skipping 102 days of military service gives you a sentence equal to that of raping a woman. What a fucking joke.

iβm not supporting his offense even as his long term fan but seeking 3 years in prison for skipping public military service when rapists in that country get same amount or sometimes even less is just fucking insane. Korea really holds these two offenses on the same levelβ¦insane https://t.co/PHpF63JGsx

… potentially 3 years for a missed service he wasn’t even supposed to be doing in the first place.. he was wrong for enlisting and messing it up when he was qualified for the exemption but the sentence is very disproportionate compared to crimes with real victims eg sex crimes https://t.co/6y5wv2QPfe
