One of my best friends, the best man at my wedding, nearly had this happen to him. He was born and raised in Australia but had dual citizenship with Denmark. During a gap year after school before university, he travelled to Denmark for 12 months. He was surprised to find that he was being conscripted but managed to avoid this due to not being fluent in Danish. It seems that if this had of happened in South Korea then he would have been out of luck.
- maze-le 8y agoAt least in Denmark you have the possibility to get over the border to germany or sweden and travel back -- trying to handle that matter from the Danish consulate in Australia. In South Korea, the only border is towards North Korea...
