"From ages 18 to 28, if you are a healthy Korean man, you have to serve in the military for a little bit less than 2 years.
The first reason is kind of obvious. South Korea is still at war. We’re only a couple of weeks into 2022 and North Korea fired its fourth missile test. And unlike in other countries like the US, a lot of Koreans do not voluntarily join the military. So without conscription it is impossible to have enough military in case something were to happen.
There are times when healthy Korean men can get military exemption like soccer player Son Heung-Min who won a gold medal for South Korea at the 2018 Asian games."

So you can only take the exam once but if you don't pass you have to wait until the next year to take it again?
WTF?

Kaye,
In the US, at least in my state, you can take it 4 times and they take the best scores from each section and aggregate them into one score. So if you do well on Math on one test and well on Science on another test they combine them. We are getting dumber.
