Should Rain Re-enlist? No, Says The Military.

Recent scandals about celebrity recruits had immediate results. Eight celebrity recruits were punished with confinement for not following regulations and reassigned to active duty.

While all males in Korea, ages 18 to 35 must serve in the military for two years, until recently celebrities were allowed to work in the public relations department and had schedules flexible enough to accommodate some performances. As a result of the scandals, the celebrity recruit status for kpop and kdrama stars was ended and in future all enlistees will have to serve some form of active duty.

However, some felt that singer Rain, who starred in the drama "Full House," has escaped punishment.

One of the recent scandals that ended celebrity recruit status involved Rain, singers Se7en and Mighty Mouth's Sangchu. Rain was seen dining with the other singers while they were on military duty but he did not later accompany them to an adult massage parlor, behavior for which they were punished.
