Just sitting at home today, watching the Worl Baseball Series - Semi-final match between Korea and Japan. Whoever wins, will go to the final to play against Cuba. Its in the 7th innings, and Japan just got 3 home runs. Score is Japan: 3:0... C'mon Korea! 대한민국!
Also, at the start of the game... they made the point of saying that, if the Korean team made it to the semi-finals, that the Korean government would waiver the 2-years compulsory military service... It is a coincidence that they are loosing the semi-final? I hope not...
There are singers and actors and other entertainers, that have a good career going for themselves in Korea, but, they are not exempt from Compulsory military service, but if you get to the semi-final of a world series, the goverment can waiver the military service... The government should give them the option of choosing if they want to do it or not... Then, if they choose not to, I would imagine that the Korean people would look down on the players who chose not to.
Damn! Japan just got another home run... Sorry Mie and Daisuke, but I'm going for Korea in this game... But, if Japan make it to the finals, I will barrack for them instead of Cuba ;)
