South Korea plans to release personal information of those who evade compulsory military service starting next year, the military said Monday.
The name, age, address and background of the draft evader will become available online if an active duty candidate continues to stay overseas illegally after the date of enlistment, dodges a physical examination for conscription or does not respond to the notice of enrollment, Defense Ministry deputy spokesman Na Seung-yong said.
The measure will take effect on July 1. After a selected person fails to clear the claim during a six-month reserve period, their information will be posted on the website of the Military Manpower Administration, according to the agency.
