I'm reading that Soon Woo will now have to fulfill two years of military service for failing to win a medal at the Asian Games. That likely explains the outburst above.
The Military Service Law in South Korea obliges all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 18 and 28 to serve in the military for approximately one and a half to two years, as part of the country's efforts to strengthen protection against North Korea.
However, some prominent sports and cultural figures may be granted an exemption if they are considered capable of promoting national prestige by winning a medal at the Olympics or a gold medal at the Asian Games. The best-known examples include Tottenham footballer Son Heung-min, who was granted an exemption after leading the Korean team to a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, and gold medalist Chung Hyeon at the 2014 Asian Games (doubles) and former world number 19.
