South Korea must abolish conscription and implement a professional military system

Recently, there has been talk about abolishing military service exemptions and implementing female conscription, but I think this is nonsense.
We need a fundamental solution with a sense of crisis regarding population maintenance and national survival.
They say these measures are necessary because of the low birth rate, but one of the biggest culprits behind our low birth rate becoming more severe than other countries is the military. While they talk about being a global competitive society, Korean men are being thrown into military service, causing disruptions in their studies, employment, and dating experiences. As their entry into society is delayed, the resulting issues with young people delaying marriage and childbirth have accumulated into a serious national loss.
Meanwhile, the country's media and corporations continue to promote overseas, causing the population to drain away. At the same time, they create a structure where Korean youth waste their prime years while foreign men are continuously being let in. This causes the economic competitiveness of Korean men to drop and the population to decrease, leading to the collapse of infrastructure in all sectors, worsening the low birth rate, and dealing a serious blow to the economy. We must solve the fundamental problem of the low birth rate, but because they are only talking about things like abolishing military exemptions and female conscription due to the lack of population, the fundamental problem is only getting more serious. I think everyone knows at least this much, but I feel like the entire nation is just being complacent.
An improvised approach that tries to forcibly pick more people to send off without changing the fundamental structure is the worst idea. I am scared; just the fact that such talk is emerging will make the population outflow even more severe. Look at how young Koreans speak in the online world these days. They unconditionally criticize Korea and praise anything related to foreign countries (especially Japan). I believe the media and politicians are largely to blame for creating this environment. Even as the number of mixed-race individuals increases recently, specifically those of Korean-Japanese descent, they will all abandon Korea and choose Japanese nationality, and the population will drain away. Instead of driving people out, we should be continuously attracting and naturalizing mixed-race individuals as well as young talents, but current Korean politics is doing the opposite.
Historically, this country has given everything away to Japan. While Korean men are being dragged into the military under the pretext of "protecting the country," Japanese, Chinese, and foreign men are desperately trying to get to Korean women. This is actually happening countless times in reality. Looking at the current state of how Korea is operating, it is becoming half a colony of Japan and half a colony of China. In the midst of this, Taiwan is making a huge effort to take Korean women in various fields. This is why the population continues to leak out, the birth rate drops, and regional and local economies collapse. But do the Ministry of National Defense, the Military Manpower Administration, politicians, and the citizens really care about this? They are only making the situation worse with a mindset like, "Since the birth rate is low, we should send more people to the military."
In modern society, war is fought not with numbers, but through advanced weaponry, skilled technical systems, and the cultivation of experts. The occurrence of a war in the first place means the nation has already failed, yet they keep saying the military is unavoidable. This worsens the low birth rate, degrades infrastructure in various fields, and weakens national competitiveness, making other countries look down on us even more. Instead of forcibly supplementing personnel through conscription, it is more efficient from a national competitiveness standpoint to cultivate professional soldiers who receive stable treatment and to focus on advanced weaponry. Instead of constantly talking about "youth at rest," we should actively utilize professional soldiers as a job solution and provide proper support to prevent domestic young talents from leaving the country and solve youth unemployment.
The driving force of South Korea's growth has always been people. If there are no people, everything collapses. Why is it that all the countries in the world dislike China but cannot ignore it? How do countries with small populations lose power in the international community? More than anything else, restoring the birth rate immediately is the most important task. There must be dreams and hope for the future to be happy in the present. If we cannot recover the birth rate like this, the talents who would become our future and the supporters who would back and cheer for them will also disappear. My only goal is for Korea to prosper. To do that, recovering the birth rate and securing the population must be the top priority. We must continue to be a sports and cultural powerhouse that attracts attention, and we must strengthen our domestic foundation in various fields so that we can revive our economy with our own strength without relying solely on overseas and ultimately become a powerful nation. Looking at what politicians, citizens, media, and corporations are doing now, I am saddened because it doesn't seem like they are doing that.
First of all, we must stop being complacent and start the process of the country returning to normal by abolishing conscription itself and transitioning to a professional military system. If you truly want the country to prosper and love it, please do not just brush this off and think about it seriously. I only want our country to do well, but in this situation, even my patriotism feels like it might disappear. Politicians, corporations, media, and citizens should not just be checking each other or being complacent, but must create fundamentally healthy structures where they can trust and coexist.
