1/4 News about Choi Hon-man
According to "Yonhap News", a draft notice has been issued to Choi Hon-man by the related authority in Korea.

Nine years ago Choi was exempted from his army duties as he could not pass the physical check. However, according to the law revision in 06, Choi will now subject to military draft and if his "public interest work" (note: for those who cannot work in the regular army/navy/air force) starts he will be out of the ring for 26 months.

A notice will soon be issued by Choi's agent.

OSU!

Choi going into service for 26 months might be bad for the korean k-1 fans, but I think it would be very good for k-1 internationally.

But the korean army is not stupid enough to draft him or make him do menial work. It would be wasting a resource. I could see them making him fight under their supervision, as good publicity. customizing his civil service so to speak.

I am sure that he will get special treatment and the armed forces will use their new star for publicity purposes!

The latest news has that Choi is now being exempted from his military duties due to his brain condition, and it may be difficult for him to get back into K-1. There will be a press conference on 6/4 for major announcements.
