Best Answer

To put it simple, the main thing is the size of the country and its geographic placement. South Korea is a pretty small country, So there aren't as many people willing to join the military as a JOB. Also, Korea is bordered and surrounded by strong forces(ex.China, North Korea, Japan.) So they have to be able to defend themselves.

What is the latest age a South Korean man can start his mandatory military service?

The laws in South Korea have progressively changed over the years, due to the shift in governmental powers that have control over South Korea, and also to variances in political stability with North Korea. In the early eighties, restrictions due to age limitations permitted only those who were under the age of 35 to begin completion of their military service, however at the time, the political parties that were in control over South Korea were prospering within an agreeable state of armistice with North Korea. In the state whereby South Korea finds itself without peace with North Korea, the latest age where a person may begin his mandatory military service can become a relative state.
