2. Dispute continues over military exemption for K-pop stars



기사요약: 안민석 요원이 참석한 공청회에서 K-pop스타들의 병역면제에 대한 토론이 진행됐다.

[4] “Currently, military exemption is widely considered a favor and that’s why there are disputes over fairness.

*dispute: 분쟁

*paradigm: 전형적인 예 a model for something which explains it or shows how it can be produced.

*special treatment: 특별대우

*just: 공정한
