Soft tennis player wins gold medal at Asian Games 20 days before enlistment

Article: There's a player who won a gold medal just 20 days before enlistment

Source: JoongAng Ilbo via Nate

(Soft tennis is not a category in the Olympics, so winning a gold medal at the Asian Games is the only chance for military service exemption. It's also not included in Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps, which means that the players have to service in the regular unit. Therefore, enlistment means retirement for minor sports players. Kim Jin Woong already had a draft notice to enlist on the 18th, but he won a gold medal and is exempt. When the match was over, he collapsed on the court from the leg pain.)

1. [+2155, -38] Only the people like him should be exempt from the military service.

2. [+1950, -18] Seeing the tapes on his legs, I can tell how hard he played ㅠㅠ Good work! ^^

3. [+1704, -18] Leg taping... I've injured my knees and ankles so I know how painful every step is, it's so touching... Congrats on winning a gold medal!

4. [+43, -2] Can people not judge his face? You only have to congratulate on his gold medal.

5. [+41, -1] Hardwork doesn't betray you. Congratulations ^^

6. [+20, -1] Hul, I thought he was in his 50's when I saw the picture. He's 28?

Pann: Webtoon that's confirmed to be made into a movie

1. [+512, -153] I hope they don't cast idols.

2. [+400, -52] The father should be Park Sung Woong. The son should be Choi Woo Sik or Im Siwan. The son's girlfriend should be Park Bo Young.

3. [+326, -32] Please let it be Choi Woo Sik ㅠㅠ

4. [+206, -411] Do Kyungsoo also suits the role.

5. [+168, -181] Don't cast Do Kyungsoo.

6. [+158, -1] The son should be played by an actor who's skinny and good at acting anxious. Yeo Jin Goo is really good at acting but he looks too fit(?) for the role ㅋㅋ

7. [+137, -8] Nam Da Reum!

8. [+124, -151] I don't want to see DO ㅠㅠ He should focus on EXO activities.

9. [+109, -4] The character is a poor high school student. What's with people mentioning actors in their 30's ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It should be at least someone in their mid-20's.

10. [+81, -6] It would be amazing if Yeo Jin Goo or Choi Woo Sik plays the role.
