Those who cannot accustom themselves to a military lifestyle will be transferred to alternative military service, the government said Sunday.
According to the Military Manpower Administration, soldiers who are classified as unfit for military service will be discharged from the barracks to work at public organizations and facilities to complete their 24-month mandatory service from next year.
Soldiers suffering from serious illness or physical disorders during their service are currently subject to such transfers.
