Interest in the Asian Games will likely decline domestically without military exemptions

I think interest in Korea is still being maintained to some extent because the "exemption expeditionary force" of the main professional sports—baseball, soccer, and basketball—helps draw in the crowds.
It was always like this with soccer, but seeing Japan's second-tier basketball team participate makes it feel real. We have entered an era where it is becoming difficult to stay interested in multi-sport events within the Asian category.
