Now, you might be thinking, "But wait, doesn't Johnny live in South Korea and work for SM Entertainment?" And to that, I say, yes and yes! However, as an American citizen, Johnny doesn't have to worry about serving in the South Korean military. Unless, of course, he decides to renounce his American citizenship and become a South Korean citizen - which, let's be real, is highly unlikely!
But here's the thing: even though Johnny might not have to serve in the military, his NCT group members might! And that's where things get interesting. I mean, can you imagine Taeil or Mark in military uniforms, doing push-ups and drill exercises all day? It's a funny thought, but also a bit sad, because we'll have to wait 18-21 months for them to return to the K-pop scene!

On the other hand, Johnny might just become the envy of all his NCT group members, getting to continue performing and promoting while they're off serving their country. I mean, who wouldn't want to avoid the military and just focus on making music and entertaining fans? It's a dream come true for any idol!
