In South Korea, military service of at least 21 months is compulsory for all able males(639,000 active and 2,900,000 reserve). Women can also volunteer while every able adult can also become a professional soldier. Total number of soldiers was at 3,539,000 in 2012. In case of war it is expected that the number of soldiers will increase with Koreans living outside volunteering. All ex-soldiers must participate in an annual one-week-long exercise so that none of them forgets what they learned during their active service. There is also an annual nation-wide exercise where all people in the country have to react to an air-raid alarm as it was for real. People have to get off the streets, into bunkers, school kids evacuate and the armed-forces make live-fire exercises. There's also a large US-presence in the country, and South-Korea has a lot of military cooperation with NATO and allied countries.

All in all we're ready for an unwanted war, but if one happens, we'll win.

The Republic of Korea is ready, too. And if all defenses fail, we still have K-Pop and we'll use it for psychological warfare.
