A dozen South Korean college graduates packed on the pounds — binging on pizza, hamburgers and more — so they could avoid the country’s mandatory military draft, according to a new report.
The dumpy dozen filled up on the high-calorie foods five times a day in an effort to become overweight and fail the required physical exam, the Military Manpower Administration said, according to the Korea Herald .
One man gained a whopping 66 pounds in just six months, according to the report.
All able-bodied men are required to serve two years in the military before they turn 28 — and they must undergo a physical exam to determine whether they are fit for active duty, the outlet reported.
Men who score lower than four out of seven points are deemed unfit and may be exempted or assigned to work in alternative service programs within the community, according to the report.
