AKIPRESS. COM – Twelve music students at a college in Seoul binged on pizza and hamburgers five times a day to deliberately gain weight and avoid military service, it has been claimed, Sky News reports.
The men accused of trying to dodge the mandatory programme had all shared weight-gain strategies with one another via an online chat group, according to authorities.
All able-bodied men in the country must serve two years in the military before they turn 28 and must pass a fitness exam before enlisting.
Military officials said the group intentionally gained weight to fail entry and had suggested consuming „high-calorie protein shakes, supplements and drinking a lot of aloe juice to retain water weight“.
