Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that South Korean EA FC pro, Chang-yeon, found guilty of faking a low IQ to avoid mandatory military service..
It’s not uncommon to see most South Korean esports stars go off to complete their compulsory military service, but one player tried to outsmart the system by literally playing dumb.
Chang-yeon, who played FIFA for Liiv SANDBOX, reportedly tried to get out of his military service after originally being cleared for activity duty following his grades in the state physical examination.
But Won faked answers on a psychological test at a local hospital to be diagnosed with mental disorders and an IQ of 53. He also falsely claimed that he was incapable of being in crowded spaces. While he would still be have been mandated to fulfill his duties as social service personnel, a low IQ would have exempted him from basic military training and from being part of the reserve forces.
Police investigation found that Won, who specialized in soccer video games, had attempted to dodge active duty service through various methods after receiving a grade 2 in the state physical examination in 2011 and being cleared for active duties. After a re-test in 2015 earned him a grade 3, he got a grade 4 for being overweight in the 2018 test that qualified him for serving active duty.
