Player faces 2-yr military service if team fails to win gold
Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur's 26-year-old forward Son Heung-min faces a compulsory stint of nearly two years' military service if he fails to win Asiad gold with South Korea. Every South Korean male citizen is required to do the military service for 21 months by age 28. However, exemptions are given to high-profile athletes on winning medals at international events.
