Int’l politician seeking policy ‘reform’ that can affect Rangers star – report

Controversy surrounding South Korea's gold medal win at the 2026 Asian Games could impact Rangers player Minsu Kim's future military exemption status. Following the victory, team captain Lee Ki-hyuk celebrated avoiding military service, sparking backlash and prompting South Korean politicians to debate reducing military exemptions.

Kim was not selected for the 2026 tournament and remains obligated to serve his mandatory conscription. While potential reform discussions take place in the National Assembly, Kim could still seek military exemptions at the 2028 Olympic Games or the 2030 Asian Games.
