Tottenham Hotspur player Heung-min Son wearing a bulletproof helmet returns to a boot camp after finishing a rifle exercise at a Marine Corps firing range in Seogwipo on Jeju Island, South Korea, Wednesday, May 6, 2020.

He would have been required by law to serve 21 months of service without the exemption. (Park Ji-ho/Yonhap via AP)
