Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The search for a male South Korean major champion
Are Korean women more competitive, both mentally and physically, than Korean men to compete in international sports games? Whereas a little over a half of the last 30 LPGA, Ladies Professional Golf Association, major titles have been won by South Korean women, only one male player from the country was honored one of the men’s major titles in PGA history.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve the military at least two years before they turn 35. Only the medalists of the Olympic games or gold medalists at the Asian Games are exempted from the conscription, mandatory military service. Leaving from professional career for two years especially during the developing period sounds like quite a handicap in any sports in global competitions, doesn’t it? In the meantime, such extraordinary period offers a chance to develop patriotism and strong willpower to win games.
Enjoy reading and think if conscription simply interrupts one’s career, in either sports or business, or gives chance to be tougher in the long run.
