KATUSA refers to Korean soldiers who are assigned to the Republic of Korea Army and serve within U.S. Army units. To serve as a KATUSA soldier, applicants must meet specific English language proficiency requirements.
The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) requires applicants to submit official English test scores as part of the KATUSA application process. Various tests, including TOEIC, TOEFL, and TEPS, are accepted, each with its own minimum score requirement.
KATUSA applicants must submit scores that meet or exceed these minimums to be eligible. As the exact qualifying criteria may change each year, it's important to check the MMA's latest announcements.
Details regarding the specific English test score Yeo Jin-goo submitted to qualify for KATUSA have not been released. This is generally the case to protect personal information and ensure a fair selection process.
Yeo Jin-goo's enlistment location and time have also not been disclosed. This measure, like with other recruits, is likely to avoid congestion at the enlistment site and create a safer environment.
An MMA official explained that "non-disclosure of the enlistment location and time is an unavoidable measure related to safety concerns." They added, "We are doing our best to ensure that all recruits can enlist safely and comfortably."
