I'm going to make a website which will highlight many reasons to end conscription including:

1. It's slavery.
2. It's sexist
3. It's based on unnecessary fear of others.

This site will list a strategy to follow, the first step is something that is allowed to be done already in South Korea, which is delaying entrance to the military until 28. The site will encourage everyone turning 18 to do this instead of the standard military entrance after 2 years of university, this means that for a span of 10 years it's possible for no one to join the military, meaning when the time comes further pressure to end conscription will be mounting.

Then for those who have to serve, the site will encourage them to simply not go and protest the system. I will have graphics made and postings and articles that can be distributed around South Korea social media outlets. The additional plan is to have people rally behind their favorite K-pop and eSports stars and stop them from being conscripted, beginning to allow new exemptions.

Also I live near Koreatown in Los Angeles and I will encourage anyone who knows Korean here to write letters to the consulate asking for conscription to come to an end.

Israel and other countries also have similar practices with regards to conscription. I had a friend in college (S. Korean) who was conscripted halfway through his degree. I asked if he ever questioned why, but he felt it was his duty. I'm sure plenty are forced into it, though.

Calling conscription slavery is wrong tho, i am in the process of getting conscripted and it is a great thing. You meet new people, you develope as a person and you’re doing your part. Also having a strong military is a form of deterrent, especially when you’re country is «divided» into 2 parts

It is slavery because if you choose to simply not join you can go to jail. Development can happen in many different areas without being forced to. However recently I have not been as focused on this issue and am moreso working on advocating for Ukraine. The ban on males from leaving the country is something I don't agree with there, but I'm more ready now to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces in general and that other issues can come later.
