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

Forced to do 100 push-ups.

A military officer suspected of coercing a soldier into doing push-ups, resulting in a severe muscle-dissolving condition, 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 injury by assault.

Sergeant A is accused of forcing Corporal B to do push-ups at the physical training room of the 15th Division in Cheorwon-gun in March.

Corporal B repeatedly asked to stop, saying it was too difficult, but the sergeant did not stop, and Corporal B ended up doing 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.
