South Korea bans transgender people from joining its military but has no specific regulations on what to do with those who have sex change operations during their time in the service.The non-commissioned officer entered the military as a man and had a sex change operation last year and is currently at a military-run hospital, army spokesman Jeon Ha Gyu said.
