As you might know, Korea is one of the few countries maintaining a mandatory conscription system due the unique situation of the Korean Peninsula. Because of the system, men in their 20s are subject to 24 months of military service and they don't have much freedom in the troops compared to their normal life in the society.
Nevertheless, our touch friend, Sungjoon Kim in the Korean Coastguard Service, tries to distribute Touch to youngsters who have never experienced or seen the new sport. As a squad leader in the ship, nowadays, hs has distributed the Touch and all of coast guardian enlisted in the ship are playing Touch everyday when the ship stays in the port of Incheon. Even, sons are playing in the deck when the ship navigates Yellow sea.
This is an amzing story and it shows how Touch is growing in Korea. Keep up the good work, Sungjoon!
