cases that continue to shock the Korean society, the popularity of TV dramas, D.P. and the Recruits, which deal with absurdities in the military, and the increase in deaths and suicides in the military, etc., raises the question as to the need to re-evaluate such assessments. In Jun. 2021, Hankook Research conducted a survey on the military conscription system on 1,000 men and women over the age of 18 across the country. 83% (830 respondents) agreed that “military service is a natural duty for Korean citizens,” and 66% (660 respondents) agreed that “military service is a sacrifice that the state unilaterally demands from individuals.” The perceptions of military service differed by generation. The older age groups tend to view the military service positively, but the lower the age groups had more negative perceptions of the military service. In particular, 82% of those in their 20s responded that “the military service is a sacrifice that the state unilaterally demands from individuals.” This difference in perception between generations should be considered in resolving the connection between incidents and culture in the military, as well as unresolved problems surrounding the military. Based on these points, this report will look into the human rights situations in the military in 2022. 160
