Thai member BamBam of Korean idol group GOT7 avoids military draft

Thailand is a country with conscription.

Men over the age of 21 are required to serve in the military. However, instead of recruiting volunteers from all positions, each region first recruits volunteers based on the number of military recruits, and vacancies are determined by drawing lots. If you draw black, you lose and will be exempted from military service; if you draw red, you will be eligible for two years of military service.

The sight of the boys struggling with joy and sorrow over a super lottery that has a huge impact on their lives is more dramatic than a drama, and is one of the major interests of the Thai people. Every April, Thai media extensively reports on the draft lottery held in various parts of Thailand.

One of the highlights of 2018 is that BamBam, a Thai member of the Korean boy group GOT7, will win the military draft lottery. BamBam was born on May 2, 1997 and is 20 years old.

He will soon turn 21, and 2018 is the year of his military draft. Celebrities who are at the height of their popularity often postpone their application, but he chose to return to Thailand and apply for the draft lottery. During the physical examination before the lottery, those who are transsexuals, obese, or have body defects will fail, but BamBam passed the test without incident.

He decided to go to the drawing of lots. On April 9th ​​at around 4:50 pm, the venue was a temple in Sai Mai district, Bangkok.
I thought the conscription lottery was finally starting, but this time there was no lottery because the number of recruits for Sai Mai district was filled with volunteers. Everyone present, including BamBam, was exempted from military service without having to draw a lottery ticket. <Thailand Hyperlinks>
