'Military Camp' Derogation by YouTuber Logic King Jeongi, Discharged After 10 Months of Service
Last September, YouTuber 'Logic King Jeongi' stirred controversy by referring to the military as a 'free diet camp' upon announcing his enlistment, and now he has been discharged early.

On the 27th, YouTuber Kim Geon-ho shared a post stating, "The military was so tough that I ran away," and added, "I will start broadcasting after receiving mental treatment. Feel free to criticize me." He included the 'Notice of Change in Military Service [Discharge] Examination' he received on the 24th.
The notice contained the proceedings of the discharge examination committee for Kim, who is a private first class in the 65th Infantry Brigade, 21st Infantry Division, 3rd Army Corps.
The result of Kim's Active Duty Incompatibility Examination (known as 'Hyunbu-sim') was discharge (for supplementary service).
The basis for this decision was cited as "a person who is recognized as unsuitable for continued service due to mental or physical disabilities."
Having been discharged the following day (25th) after receiving the notice, Kim is expected to wait for his assignment as a civil service worker classified under supplementary military service until he is given a work area as a civilian.
Following this news, some netizens reacted with comments such as, "I've never seen someone get out this way," "He treated the military like a camp but now claims a mental deficiency?" and "This is why one should be careful with words."
Meanwhile, a report by the Board of Audit and Inspection revealed that among the 6,924 individuals who received an early discharge (transferred to wartime labor) due to mental disorders from 2020 to 2022, 5,089 were suspected of having committed deception.
