After it was announced that Zico would be serving mandatory military service on July 30, 2020, it immediately shocked fans and the Korean public. This is because Zico is not included in the citizens who are given exceptions to perform military service.

It is known that Zico has a problem with his heart and has undergone surgery for his heart condition. Of course, this should make Zico eligible for the exemption to perform military service.

Because in some cases, someone with a serious health condition can be exempted from military service. However, Zico's agency stated that he will not serve as an active soldier, who relies heavily on physical strength.

2. Asthma

In addition to having undergone surgery for his heart disease, it turns out that Zico also has asthma, KLovers. And he has had this disease since he was very young. Zico has congenital asthma, a condition in which the airways narrow and the body produces more mucus, making it harder for the patient to breathe. This is well known by Zico's fans, who have asked him not to perform military service.

Many Korean people wonder why Zico is not exempted from military service due to a disease like this. But even so, they are still proud of Zico for not using his illness as an excuse to avoid military service.

3. Social Service Department

Because he has a serious illness and still fulfills his military duty, Zico is not made an active soldier or in Korean language called hyun yeok. Usually, active soldiers will perform their duties in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. And of course, active soldiers often perform strenuous physical tasks.

Usually, before performing their military duty, they will undergo a health test. If the test fails, then they will become Civil Service or social service. And that's what Zico will do, he will become a mandatory military member in the social service department due to his health condition.

Not only Zico, there is also Kyuhyun Super Junior who has experienced an accident and coma, but he still fulfills his military duty in the social service department. Then there is also actor Lee Min Ho who has also experienced 2 severe accidents, and made him unable to become an active soldier.

4. Full Support

Military service in South Korea is something that must be done by Korean citizens, especially a man. Although there are also women who decide to join the military.

When a man in South Korea joins the military, he will establish strong friendships. This is because they share various sorrows and joys together. They will also live together for a long time.

And this will foster a friendship among men, so they have new friends and family. Military service is also a pride for a man in South Korea. They will be proud and happy to share their military experience.

Of course, Zico and other Korean celebrities also want to experience the same thing and fulfill their military duty despite having various health conditions. This is why the full support of fans for Zico is what he needs right now.
