[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The Military Manpower Administration disclosed the names, addresses, and other personal information of 281 individuals who evaded their military service obligations last year on its website on the 15th. The disclosed information includes six items: the evader's name, age, address, date of evasion, reason for evasion, and the violated legal provisions.

The individuals disclosed this time are those who evaded military service from January 1 to December 31 of last year and have not fulfilled their military duties to date. The most common type of evasion was violation of overseas travel permission obligations, with 140 people, followed by 80 evaders of active duty enlistment, 29 evaders of social service personnel summons, and 32 evaders of military service physical examinations.

The Military Manpower Administration provided prior notice about the personal information disclosure system in March, gave a six-month opportunity for explanation, and finalized the list of individuals to be disclosed after deliberation by the 'Military Service Evasion Disclosure Review Committee.' If a disclosed person enlists or fulfills their military duty, their name is removed from the list.

To check the list, select 'Inquiry of Military Service Evaders' under the 'Disclosure/Open Military Service Information Viewing' menu on the Military Manpower Administration's internet homepage. The personal information disclosure system for military service evaders was implemented in July 2015.

Meanwhile, the son of former Financial Services Commission Chairman Eun Seong-su, who was reported to the police in July for violating military service laws, was confirmed to have evaded this year, and the decision on whether to disclose his information will be made after review next year.
