1. [+1,041, -240] Well if he has a panic disorder, then I guess he won't be able to do his job as a celebrity either. You're cheating if you go back to promoting!

2. [+1,031, -208] Celebrities = all disabled

3. [+891, -110] Non-celebrities have to attempt suicide at least 2-3 times before they're even considered unfit to serve active duty and moved to another service. I had one guy diagnosed as being unfit during my service and he was seriously insane. He'd yell and swear at our seniors, refuse to do any work, and lay around while reading comic books in his uniform during work hours. It wasn't until he attempted suicide that he barely got a 100 day break. Then he got back and attempted to run away and they had to send out soldiers to go catch him in the early morning. Finally they decided he was unfit and passed him to public service ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is how far you had to go for them to even consider you unfit so I'm guessing they just gave Lee Joon an easy pass for being a celebrity?

4. [+95, -2] He was the #1 soldier in his training unit so what panic disorder are they talking about? They really need to investigate celebrities in the army and pick out what perks they're all receiving

5. [+90, -19] His image has already hit rock bottom as a result of this. He should just get the treatment he needs and stay off of TV forever.

6. [+84, -4] I just don't get why all celebrities get passed into public service when there are so many other services in the army besides that.

7. [+71, -1] I just want to know why he was normal this whole time and suddenly his panic disorder is acting up now that he's in the army.

8. [+69, -6] There are already so many celebrity perks running around that it's hard to view this without a lens even if there was no special treatment involved.

9. [+53, -1] Ugh I'm so sick of seeing celebrities acting like wusses in the army all the time

10. [+41, -1] We know the army is lying because know that non-celebrities can't get out of active duty that easily. Ask anyone who's served if they had ever seen an instance of a fellow soldier dropping out to serve public service. The army would send you to about a hundred other units before they'd consider you for public service. My friend shattered his knee while training and he was sent to work in the kitchen when he can't cook to save his life ㅋㅋㅋ I'm telling you, non-celebrities cannot get these perks

11. [+40, -4] TOP: one of us

12. [+33, 1-] Let's be real, the army wouldn't give a sh*t about him if he wasn't a celebrity. I had a friend who had severe panic attacks where he would sweat in crowded places and barely be able to walk, let alone breathe, and he still served his entire active duty sentence. I go to his house for drinks sometimes and he still talks about the army, how he wanted to die because it was so hard. Let me reiterate that is it not normal for a soldier to be transferred from active duty straight to public service. I have never even heard of this happening with the rest of us. If they are so sure that this isn't special treatment, then they should make sure that any other soldier with a panic disorder gets placed int he same public service unit since they set the precedent after all.

13. [+32, -3] Hoping we won't see him on TV ever again
