ARSENAL striker Park Chu-Young claims he will be forced to quit Arsenal in two years' time.
The South Korea star reckons he will have no choice other than to leave the Emirates because he will not be able to avoid doing national service.
Under current South Korean law, all able bodied men over 20 have a duty to serve in the military.
The only exemptions are to athletes who have won Olympic medals or gold medals in the Asian Games.
In the 2002 World Cup — held in Japan and South Korea — the government exempted the national squad, including Manchester United's Ji-Sung Park, from national service.
But Gunners ace Park, 26, concedes he will have no such luck in ducking out. He said: "It isn't really possible to be excused.
"That can't and won't happen, which is another reason I chose to come here.
"I'll have to leave Europe in two years' time and I thought this would be an incredible place to finish.
"My national service is inevitable and there is no point in thinking anything else.
"I'll still be playing games, but for an army club. I think it'll be difficult to return to Europe after that, although if something interesting comes up, you never know."
