Kim Kyu Jong Enlistment and some facts about Hepatitis B

Okay,... I've received a lot of inquiries about Kyu Jong's enlistment and about him having a Hepatitis B. Some would have misconception about this disease,and might think wrongly towards Kyu Jong. So to clear out this confusion, my good friend Cheezeemelt was kind enough to share more about this sickness. Hopefully, it would help out my readers not to doubt Kyu Jong. 



We are all aware that Kyu Jong will be soon enlisting in the army on July 23. After 4 weeks of training, he will serve as a public officer for 2 years. Why public officer? Because according to Kyu Jong's Agency, he is a carrier of Hepatitis B. Before, people who is a carrier of Hepatitis B are exempted from military duties. But because of the revision made for Korea's Military Service Law, now he is eligible to join the army. So, what exactly is Hepa B?

Extracted from Cheezeemelt501:

Hepatitis B is a liver inflammation due to the infection by the Hepatitis B Virus. You can get Hepa B from birth, getting prick from a used injection and through sex. In Kyu's case, he might not know that he is a carrier. His mother might be a carrier also when she was pregnant with Kyu.

However, Kyu should be very careful, he might not be experiencing health problems today but in a period of years he might develop liver disease such as Cirrhosis or worse Liver Cancer. But I'm confident Kyu is a very healthy person. He just have to maintain healthy lifestyle and he's safe with it. *wink*

Since Kyu is only a carrier, the virus in his body is like a time-bomb. Once activated (Low Immune System/Unhealthy lifestyle), he can then be infected and can lead to a real Hepatitis B. Hepa B Carriers aren't infectious at all.

Hepatitis b can't be cured via vaccination. It's only prevention.  Our body can get rid of the virus/infection itself after months or years.

A carrier is not necessarily infected and has Hepa B.
