A: |
The insurance for substitute military services draftees is not considered as military insurance. Therefore, if you are 25 years old or older, you are still required to participate in the national pension insurance.

A: |
Research and development substitute services draftees are required to participate in the substitute service insurance and labor insurance in phases, depending on their service period. If you are over 25 years old and still under substitute service insurance, you are required to participate in the national pension insurance until your service unit switches your enrollment to labor insurance. Once you are enrolled in labor insurance, you can no longer participate in national pension insurance. |
