SEOUL, Oct. 9 (Yonhap) -- Draft dodgers in South Korea will be punished with longer military services while additional medical checks will be required for those applying for exemptions, a military manpower agency said Friday.

The new measures will take effect between 2010 and 2011, the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) told a parliamentary committee on defense affairs.
