Ordered to Do 100 Push-Ups Despite Pleas to Stop, Soldier Suffers Rhabdomyolysis and Cola-Colored Urine

Forced to do 100 push-ups.

A military officer suspected of coercing a soldier into push-ups to the point of causing his muscles to break down has been handed over to military prosecutors.

According to military authorities, the Army's 3rd Metropolitan Investigation Unit has transferred Sergeant A of the Army's 15th Infantry Division to the Army Prosecution Group on charges of abuse of authority through coercive acts and assault resulting in injury.

Sergeant A is accused of coercing Corporal B into doing push-ups at the physical training room of the 15th Division in Cheorwon-gun last March.

Although Corporal B repeatedly asked to stop, saying it was too difficult, the sergeant did not stop him, and he ultimately performed close to 100 push-ups.

Experiencing extreme pain in both arms, Corporal B reportedly passed cola-colored urine.

He was subsequently diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis and received inpatient treatment for two weeks.
