Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Kim Si Woo:
Ready to switch clubhouse for military barracks after Sawgrass win
One of the
most divisive and deadliest wars in history isn’t over, yet. Though the fighting
of the Korean War ended in 1953 when an armistice was signed, no peace treaty
has been made. Thus, both sides of Korea are technically still at war. And in
South Korea, it is compulsory for all able men to serve in military for about
two years, longer than most other states that still have mandatory military
service.
It was such a
glorious honor for this talented young golfer, Kim Si Woo, and for his mother
country Korea, to win this year’s the Players Championship, unofficial fifth
major title, at the age of just 21, the youngest winner of the tournament’s
history. However, he won’t be exempted from the mandatory military service
because the title is NOT significant enough compared to the medals in the
Olympic Games or gold medals in the Asian Games.
Enjoy reading
and learning how serious the situation in the peninsula even 65 years after the
military fighting ended.
