If we are going to argue about national prestige, shouldn't BTS be more eligible for exemption than baseball/soccer national teams?

To begin with, most countries aren't even in the same league. Even Japan, the only one that is somewhat comparable, treats these competitions as a way to send out adult players or as a testing ground for prospects who don't fit the age group. I'm not sure if it's right to say they've enhanced national prestige.
If we judge solely by difficulty, interest, and popularity, an Asian Games gold medal is overwhelmingly less significant than reaching the Round of 16 in the World Cup.
Either abolish the Asian Games and grant military exemptions for the World Cup Round of 16, or change the baseball requirement to winning the WBC.
Not many countries in the world play baseball.
I think it would be more helpful for long-term player scouting if we, like Japan, viewed the Asian Games as a stepping stone to test young prospects.
BTS, who have achieved global fame, don't get exemptions, while those who win the Asian Games get them—even though it doesn't help raise the country's status at all and they seem more obsessed with their own military exemption. I don't see how winning the Asian Games makes sense for an exemption.
To be honest, if we win the Asian Games, who outside of South Korea is actually going to recognize it?
Do you think Japan would think even a tiny bit like, "Ah, so Korea is still number one in Asian football, ugh... I admit it," just because they lost to us in the Asian Games?
I doubt a single person in Japan currently thinks that way.
If we are going to grant military exemptions just for gaining some fame within the Asian region, the scope should be expanded far beyond just sports. To be brutally honest, isn't the Asian region in the sports world like the "rural area special admission" category?
It can't even be compared to Europe, South America, let alone North America or Africa.
If winning in that "rural admission" category earns you a military exemption, it would only be fair to expand the scope of exemptions to other fields as well.
I think the military exemptions for the Asian Games should be abolished.
